    Civ 5 Complete Edition $9.99 (dead)

    This game costs you MUCH more in the long run than the money...

    Gaming PC build verification

    At the cost, it's worth going to 32GB of ram, with lots of tabs open, background stuff, and a game running you'll likely hit 16GB used. I'd highly recommend using a actual NVME M.2 for your boot/system drive, and maybe even your games drive as well since they aren't really that costly anymore...

    PC Gaming Too Expensive, Switching to Consoles, so long [H]

    This isn't anything to do with PC gaming or prices, this is about horrible decision making. So you make a decision to constantly overspend and overbuild, to get meager gains, and then make the decision to go back to objectively (and also in your own stated opinion) worse gaming platform? Let's...

    Amazon Could Be Reconsidering Its NYC Headquarters Site Due to Local Opposition

    I'd announce a relocation to somewhere else immediately, and take my business, jobs, taxes, and mass economical benefit elsewhere. Let the hateful rot in their own squalor.

    Facial Recognition Technology Needs Government Regulation According to Microsoft

    So Microsoft calls for the people that would abuse it and not follow regulation (government) would be the ones to regulate it. This is a trend in the tech industry lately, tech companies binding together to call for more regulation and government control, pretty thinly veiled orchestration...

    Bitcoin Miners Taken Out in Sichuan Floods

    More circle jerky hate on cryptocurrency, especially bad this time using the "GPU" excuses (Bitcoin doesn't use GPU to mine any longer with any sort of efficiency).

    AT&T to Take Over Time Warner

    "Now that we are at the mercy of the big companies that will control internet access, this write-up at TechCrunch outlines our dystopian future on the internet." I disagree. We are back to Net Neutrality rules of 2015 and previous. This is not dystopian, this is not some armageddon. You and I...

    Bitcoin's Growing Energy Problems

    Do research on the entire process of printing money, and the network infrastructure of the financial system that runs world currencies today. You're not going to find a single article. Things like this take study, not being handed out a single article.

    Twitter Finds New Excuses to Shut Down Folks They Don't Like

    Twitter is now a defacto wing of ISIS, defending ISIS and Hamas accounts on Twitter, and at the same time banning accounts from authors and comic strip writers who are ex-Muslim from speaking out about Islamic terrorism and the glorification of it in media.

    Bitcoin's Growing Energy Problems

    The ENTIRE crypto market power usage is a FRACTION of the energy use that both cash and the credit systems use. You don't see tech sites blasting that, though, do you?

    BioWare: Anthem Is Multiplayer, but You’ll Still Have Control over the Story

    "You create your own character, you decide what happens next, and you become the hero." Everything they just said could apply to Destiny 2, the steaming pile of crap grind fest with absolutely no value other than to grind just to grind. Don't worry, though, this will be different! /sarcasm...

    Maybe Cellphones are Causing Brain Tumors After All

    So where's the massive increase in hip cancer in males, since that's where the cell phone is carried 99% of the time?

    ASIC Miners and Cryptocurrency

    "In related news, April continues on March's trend of being unkind to Bitcoin." Couldn't help yourself but throw in another jab on par with HardOCP's continual anti-Bitcoin stance over the past few months... Here's a clue, the entire crypto market has suffered, not just Bitcoin. But keep up the...

    Ethereum ASIC Has Performance of 8 GTX 1080s for $800

    "I love the fact that Bitmain does not accept Bitcoin as a form of payment." What does this have to do with anything in the post, unless of course it's just par for the constant anti-Bitcoin specific HardOCP has been posting for the past few months?

    IRS Reminds US Taxpayers to Report Crypto Earnings

    Report them how? Has anyone read the code for crypto taxes, they are actually impossible to adhere to. You have to report the earnings of a coin basis the microsecond it was mined, or transferred, or sold, or converted. This doesn't exist, as the price will vary drastically from one place to the...

    Craigslist Drops Personal Ads Because of FOSTA

    Anyone see the clear concerted effort suddenly of all these large sites on the internet cracking down or limiting things, often with an excuse of protection yet harming a mass amount of legitimate business or discussion? There's no way this wasn't orchestrated by some type of public/government...

    Bitcoin and Money Laundering on Trial California

    Bitcoin is rarely used anymore for illegal activity. Bitcoin isn't fully anonymouse. XMR and other coins are used instead. This is just a concerted effort of attack by people who have an interest to see Bitcoin itself go down.

    To Find Suspects, Police Quietly Turn to Google

    Yeah, police have never made a mistake, had bias, had agendas or vendettas, or any other millions of things that EVERY human on earth is susceptible to. They are essentially infallible humans, so we should allow total access at all times, right?

    To Find Suspects, Police Quietly Turn to Google

    Yeah, until they come across other information on someone completely unrelated to the crime that they could view as a concern to investigate, without basis or out of negligence, and escalate to civil forfeiture to ruin lives, only to eventually never charge someone with a crime yet continue to...

    NY Municipalities to Charge Miners More For Electricity

    Yet they continue to choose news reposts that specifically target crypto negatively. They have plenty of articles shown to them about the positives. There's a clear uniform direction in the type of crypto news they are referring.

    NY Municipalities to Charge Miners More For Electricity

    And what does that have to do with media engaging in obvious action to push a false idea to promote that?

    NY Municipalities to Charge Miners More For Electricity

    That in context, cash and credit is far more energy expensive than crypto to produce and maintain. Yet we only see targeting on crypto? Omission of facts and context is a form of false information. Also, just like news sources selectively picking only one side of a topic repeatedly, and...

    NY Municipalities to Charge Miners More For Electricity

    Another HardOCP post in what seems to be a personal vendetta against cryptocurrency recently. Sad to see how much false information and fear is being spread by these articles.

    Robots Want Bitcoins Or They Will Kill Us All!

    I'm confused, what does this have to do with Bitcoin? Or is this just one in dozens of recent HardOCP news reposts that attack Bitcoin and cryptocurrency without any basis?

    Cryptocurrency Attempt to Self-Regulate

    Maybe we should be focusing on decriminalizing victimless crimes instead of thinking a new type of payment method is evil? BTW, cash FAR more outweighs cryptocurrency as payment for illicit purposes. The key reason for media to broadcast this claptrap stuff about cryptocurrency is from...

    Thieves Steal 600 Powerful Bitcoin-Mining Computers in Huge Heist

    Bitcoin mining? Modern computers can't mine Bitcoin effectively at all. A few ASIC machines would outperform all that was said to be stolen, if they were in fact mining Bitcoin. Alt coins, however, that stuff could mine. Why is HardOCP continually getting the news about cryptocurrency wrong, or...

    Even The Woz Isn't Safe From Cryptocurrency Fraud

    "Even The Woz Isn't Safe From Cryptocurrency Fraud" This is a completely idiotic headline. This type of fraud has zero to do with cryptocurrency. He literally accepted payment by credit card without verifying funds were secure, gave away a product, and then was surprised when the funds were...

    U.S. Regulators to Back More Oversight of Virtual Currencies

    If the government could not define what the Internet was, and thinks Net Neutrality means freedom, then there is no way they can understand cryptocurrency. One of the primary functions of cryptocurrency is to skirt government, good luck with regulating that fully.

    Chrome Will Soon Mark All HTTP Pages As "Not Secure"

    Wonderful, 700 clients calling me in July reporting they've been hacked, the site they usually go to is hacked, their PC is "messed up", and having no clue about what http or https is nor how to click to proceed to the site anyway. Employees who have little to no computer skills, CEO's and...

    Litecoin Emerging as the Next Dark Web Currency

    Montu, you should learn about something before you spread misinformation. Bitcoin had some transaction time and fee issues for a few months last year out of the years it's been around, and now the mempool is down to next to nothing, transactions are fast and cheap again, and with the lightning...

    Portal 2 Adoption News "Controversy"

    Here's a thought... Do you f**king duty as a parent and play the game yourself first before you give it to your kid, instead of relying on some "stamp" of rating on the box to do your parenting job for you.

    U.S. To Introduce Draconian Anti-Piracy Censorship Bill

    Lol, don't worry, I got the last laugh against all those people telling me for many years that, "you're just paranoid, that'll never happen" when the government just up and eventually did all the things I was talking to people about. Unfortunately, it's a bitter-sweet laugh.

    U.S. To Introduce Draconian Anti-Piracy Censorship Bill

    "determined to end online piracy"... Oh sure! Until they need to use domain seizures, ISP blockades, search engine censorship, and cutting funding of allegedly copyright infringing websites for other reasons, like protest and government dissent quelling. They are seeing what is going on in...
