    Radiator/Fan placement...

    That was my thought as well. This particular case has a full glass panel side with a small gap between the panel and the case, and a generous vent in the rear which doesn't look like it was intended for any fans. I'm not sure if that would help the "positive air" effect much, or hurt it overall...

    Radiator/Fan placement...

    Due to the usually smaller size and shape of the cases I've used in the past I have generally run my AIO coolers with the radiators on the top or in the case of my 250D on the side, primarily because I couldn't fit them in the front. I typically had the fans inside the radiator bowing out of the...

    Facebook Employees Had Access to Millions of User Passwords Stored in Plain Text

    That is my question... while I am concerned about passwords being in plain text of course, and this particular incident is obviously a huge threat to users. I am more concerned that the encryption used is actually reversible such that they can be decrypted to begin with as that is more of a...

    No Mans Sky "Beyond" Update Will Feature Multiplayer

    That's kind of the way I feel about it as well :ROFLMAO: One of my coworkers said he liked it, but ended up getting stuck on a planet for some reason and just gave up.

    Google Announces a New Campus in New York City

    I get the whole "talent pool" argument for locating this in New York. But it is taking an already congested city and making it even more so. It also just seems kind of silly, even though they have the money, to just build in the most expensive possible place they can think of. Take Phoenix AZ...

    FCC Votes to Classify Text Messaging as an Information Service

    I'm not sure how I feel about this one. Either way gives one "group" some power over the other. If it happens that there some possibility that my hate speech texts get blocked I'll just start hate speaking on encrypted apps. :ROFLMAO: In all honesty, as long as 99.999% of my text messages get...

    Rockstar Intends to Address Red Dead Redemption 2's Economy

    I have no problem with micro transactions as long as they don't give any player an unfair advantage.

    Microsoft Is Replacing Edge in Windows 10 with a Chromium-Based Web Browser

    As much as I love this forum, it's members disdain for Microsoft in general is rather annoying, often times completely misinformed and rather pathetically biased. No, fuck that, lets just continue with brand bashing because all the cool kids are doing it. :meh: Competition is a good thing. The...

    That's an IoT solution, it would not be replacing Windows Desktop.

    Microsoft Is Replacing Edge in Windows 10 with a Chromium-Based Web Browser

    Not really true. It's was based on a fork of Trident, but was re-written almost from the ground up to be compatible with WebKit. It shares very little of its code base with the original Trident(MSHTML) engine, and actually performs better then firefox or chrome in a lot of benchmarks. Whether or...

    Replacing an old RAID Hyper-V setup, and have couple questions...

    So I've been running an old LSI/3ware 9650SE-8LPML raid card with a few WD Red 5400RPM 4TB drives in raid 5 for a few years. I've transferred this raid setup between several server builds, and have not had any issues with the exception of a single failed drive when I first set it up. It is...

    Diablo IV Will Be Heavily Influenced by Diablo II

    Diablo 3 was fun, until I beat it. Then I never touched it again, seemed like a waste. Id really just like to see more of a God of War slash Assassins Creed mashup. With similar simple battle mechanics as god of war, but with movement/physics and story like assassins creed. That would be the...

    Scammers Mimic Elon Musk on High Profile Twitter Accounts

    I would like to think anybody who understands and/or uses bitcoin wouldn't be stupid enough to fall for this sort of shit. It seems I have again underestimated the stupidity of people.

    Proposed Data Privacy Law Could Send Company Execs to Prison for 20 Years

    I would agree with the corporate fines and such, but the prison time clause alone is going to kill this thing. I'm not saying certain people shouldn't be doing prison time for certain things if willful negligence is shown, but has others have mentioned before, its not always the fault of the...

    Microsoft Completes $7.5B Github Acquisition

    They wont do that. Fact of the matter is GitHub is FAR superior to TFS in so many ways. They know that and have publicly admitted as much. When the .net platform source went public they made the choice to put all of that stuff in GitHub rather than TFS for a reason.

    Google Allows Apps to Scan Gmail Accounts and Freely Share Data with Others

    I created an an Office 365 account in Azure and registered it all to my own domain name. May not be as secure as running my own email server, but I trust it more than gmail at this point. At the very least, I'm fairly confident MS isn't scanning and/or profiting off the contents of those...

    St. Louis University Is Installing Amazon Alexa-Enabled Echo Dots Campus-Wide

    Jeez you people are ridiculous. As if having a dot in your house is any worse than carrying a cell phone around with you wherever you go; logging your GPS locations, the websites you visit (aka all the porn you watch on pornhub), and whatever other data you've already given the apps on your...

    Fitness App Polar Flow Exposes the Daily Routines of Government Officials

    Good find. I was going to say I remembered seeing something about this happening with another fitness tracker not too long ago. I mean, just common sense if you ask me. If you're worried about people tracking your location, dont wear things that track your location. Derp. Honestly, I don't...

    Developer: “There Is Absolutely No Adoption for the Windows Store”

    Finally someone who actually knows what they're talking about. So much misinformation on these things. Win32 has existed since early version of windows (I still have my Win32 API book from the late 90s lol) and is still used in Windows 10. It is little more than a bunch of .dll files the drive...

    Developer: “There Is Absolutely No Adoption for the Windows Store”

    Whats your point? You can side load android (apk) and apple apple apps as well. If your "windows installer" was obtained legally its likely you paid for that, including any markup charged by the seller. The 30% is a fee on app sales, free applications are obviously still free. It's literally no...

    Sex Workers Say Porn on Google Drive Is Suddenly Disappearing

    AMD - NVIDIA and GPU Development Deceleration

    In a round about way this might be an opportunity for AMD to pull ahead if they can sufficiently ramp up their manufacturing to keep up with the demand for both miners and gamers. I doubt that will happen, just a thought.

    Microsoft Wants You Using Edge, Whether You Want to or Not

    This issue is plaguing the entire Windows 10 (UWP)/Edge eco-system right now. And in my opinion is why Windows Phone 10 failed, it's not due to issues with the platform, it's the lack of developers creating native applications/extensions therein.

    Microsoft Wants You Using Edge, Whether You Want to or Not

    I disagree, but only because I think most people just don't give a shit, not because there was some conscious choice in the matter. The people using this site, and the people that even understand the difference in general, do not represent the majority of users. Moreover, the people using the...

    Robots are Going to Kill Us ALL Then Bury Us Efficiently

    At first I thought this was cool, as it would generally decrease build time and cost. But you make a good point. How is it going to deal with some random giant boulder a couple feet underground? Does it have some sort of ground penetrating sonar to help avoid it? Or does it hit a the rock and...

    Fed Up with GPU Prices? Crypto-Rig Builder Says Gamers Must Suck It Up and Mine

    Im just glad I got a half way decent one before the prices skyrocketed. My 970 has played everything I have thrown at it no problem for over 2 years now. This is only an issue if you insist on latest and greatest. You can still get older models for a reasonable price, although they are still...

    Nope, what is disturbing is to realize all the nonsense people make up to sound like they are somehow enlightened.

    E-waste Recycler Facing Prison for Copyright Infringement

    I can't argue whether or not he broke the law, but in my opinion sentencing for something like this should be based on intent. He clearly did not think he was breaking the law, nor did he intend to rip off Microsoft. Those machines he rebuilt already had windows licenses, it would have been...

    Early Facebook and Google Employees Form Coalition to Fight Social Media
