I had ordered on 1/24 and Samsung had my prospective ship date as 2/10. I called to complain about how long they were taking to ship (we live in an Amazon Prime world now) and they told me that they didn't have any product and couldn't tell me when they were getting more in. I got Best Buy to...

Folks, I'm out of the loop as far as new hardware goes, but am looking to upgrade my PC for the upcoming Half Life Alyx and Cyberpunk 2077 releases. I also play a fair amount of PUBG, but that game is so buggy and error ridden that I know there's no way to guarantee good performance on any...

Thanks for the info and opinions! I've been out of the hardware and overclocking game for long enough that looking at all the options and the cost/benefit ratio can be a little overwhelming.

Well, hell, I'm looking at doing a new gaming build and don't have a huge interest in overclocking these days. Then I took a look at the price on the 10940x and nearly spit out my coffee. I've had an intel rig for almost all of the last 20 years, but it looks like this generation of hardware...

Yep! This says it well. I'm willing to spend whatever I want (and can generally afford to) on anything that I want, but those things I actually spend money on are things that I think constitute a good value for the price. I'm still running a 980ti Windforce on an i5 processor that I bought...

Huh, I hadn't heard about MicroLED, sounds extremely promising! I just upgraded to a OLED TV for my living room and can't imagine going back to conventional LCD tech. I don't think that the supposed issues with OLED are going to be too much trouble for me but, if MicroLED can come out with a...

Any word on pricing and how much of a premium the 4k displays will have over the models with more standard LCDs? I'm going to want to update my work laptop sometime in the next year or so and, after upgrading my home TV to a 65" OLED, can't imagine getting another type of display, gaming or no...

I appreciate the input, as things have changed drastically since I looked at this sort of thing and, back in the day, an HTPC was basically the only option to be able to do what I wanted to do. As for upscaling, I haven't really ever even messed with it. I've got a lot of content in...

Some months ago my HTPC began having serious issues. Basically all the hardware in there is 5+ years old (it's got DDR2) and I didn't have the budget to replace the hardware at the time, so just used my chromecast for a while. Now I do have the budget, though I'd like to keep things as...

Quite frankly, fuck you and all your fellow miners. You drove prices up so that normal people couldn't pay a reasonable price for a decent card. I hope you lose your asses on it.

This is why you DO NOT F'ING USE FINGERPRINT UNLOCK. A court can compel you to provide your fingerprint to unlock a phone, they cannot (functionally and effectively) compel you to provide a security code or pattern. If you don't think you have anything to hide, what you think doesn't really...

Look, if you provide it to a third party, it's discoverable. You provide your fingerprints to a company? I can subpoena that if it's material to my case. You provide a cheek swab to 23&Me? I can subpoena that if it's material. Don't provide crap like that unless your okay with an enemy or...

Sorry to be lazy and post here, but I'm so far out of the loop on low to mid-level new hardware it's not even funny. I've got a HTPC that's running a chip I don't recall sitting in an EVGA 750i SLi FTW mobo, vid card is a GTX 670, and I have an old PCI Xonar D2 sound card sitting in there, all...

Why would they do that when resellers sell to Chinese players so they can hack anyway? I long for the day when China blocks PUBG servers and/or BlueHole region locks the servers so all the Chinese hackers will have a lot more trouble spoiling everyone else's game.

Things like loot boxes and having to rank up in an FPS before you can get the same stuff other people have is why, after having played the WWI Battlefield, I won't be buying another Battlefield game. Battlefield games are like heaven for casual gamers who don't know and don't care what the hell...

Got this monitor to replace a 35" monitor that had 1080 vertical resolution. It's great compared to that POS wide monitor! The amount of screen real estate is such a relief compared to the totally inadequate vertical resolution of my previous monitor!

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!

I don't want an iPhone, but I'm sure as hell not getting an S8. I'm on Verizon and the locked bootloader means that I still can't root my S7 and all these crap carrier specific apps can't be removed from my phone. Screw that noise. I'll be buying a Pixel or Pixel 2 depending on when the 2...

Let's not forget about the bootloader lock. I've got the S7 for Verizon and there are all sorts of stupid programs that I can't uninstall and there's still no really stable, easy to use, root/ROM for my phone. I'll be going with the Google Pixl when I need a new phone.

"Sign up to be an insider. Perhaps doing so will get you a key." Nope, you had to have signed up by Aug 21, 2016, per the website. Also, speculation is that the beta will be open "for at least four days." What kind of bullshit is that? What happened to the good old days when a beta or demo...

I bought the MSI 580ti along with a copy of The Division for $530 a few weeks ago. Still don't regret it. I've got a good card that will last me a long while and a game that's worth the single player play through.

I'm playing singleplayer. Then again, I got the game for free with a video card...

It doesn't matter if it's hacking, it matters if it was a warrantless search and a violation of constitutional rights.

I got done waiting for this and bought a 980Ti along with a copy of The Division for $530.00. Wake me up when they actually release the full line, people can actually buy them, and they're down from the initial high release prices.

Thanks for the update. Title edited to reflect that the deal is dead.

I straight stole this from Slickdeals, here, so I'm not claiming credit or anything. "Newegg has the GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 980Ti 6GB XTREME GAMING EDITION (GV-N98TXTREME C-6GD) [newegg.com] + The Division Game (06G-P4-0998-KR)[newegg.com] - $50 Rebate[4myrebate.com] - 10% discount code...

There is an optional head/neck rest that you can buy, but it looks silly. If you want one that looks good, you need the Steelcase Leap Worklounge. Beautiful chair, but expect to pay for it! I picked up a used one for about $1,400. It's worth every penny, but I'm glad I saved money over the...

Well, when the alternative is acquiring media for free, companies should understand that an extra $4 can push their potential customers to other sources.

If BluRays were the same price as DVDs, people would be buying BluRays instead. Unfortunately, companies think that they can charge a premium for BluRay discs.

Thank you for the offer, but I think I want to go with the z97 chipset.

Wish I'd seen that before the RAM I ordered shipped. As much as I'd like to upgrade to an i7, that package is out of my budget. Right now, I just need the motherboard. If you do decide to break up that package, please let me know!

I'd rather have the Hero version. I may have another option but, if I decide to go with the Gene, I'll drop you a line.

Found one, thanks!

Well, I've been wanting more TVs, at better prices, with local dimming for a long while. I've been waiting a long time for OLED tech to get better, last longer, and get cheaper. Colors and black levels is why I bought a Panny plasma about 3 years ago over any of the LED TVs on the market. I...
