    Samsung Turning off TVs in the UK

    Exactly what I've been trying to point out. Most other posters here are thinking this is something that's going to affect smart TVs or actually turn them off.

    Samsung Turning off TVs in the UK

    I'm shocked people aren't getting this It's an advertisement that'll be broadcast over cable. Has nothing to do with affecting Samsung TVs only, or just smart TVs. It's still an evil ad, but nothing quite like what Eternal Darkness for the Gamecube did .....

    Samsung Turning off TVs in the UK

    " The second ad will air at key times on Saturday evening and is set to disrupt the Champions League final commercial break where the audience will be told it is “time to adjust your set”.

    Some Carriers May Start Hiding Signal Strength from Users in Android P

    Looks like they removed the option to do so in iOS 11 (there was a dialer code you could enter before to replace the signal dots with the dBm value). At least with Android we can use apps like LTE Discovery if we need detailed info on signal levels and such.

    The OnePlus 5T is the only Android phone that seems to have done well with their face unlock.

    Google Pixel 2 XL Display Issues

    Razer Phone to Sport 2K Display, Snapdragon 835 SoC, 8GB RAM

    Outside of one Sony model and the 18:9 aspect ratios of some phones, we've been stuck at that 1440p resolution since the LG G3. Heck, even the 18:9 phones technically are 1440p

    Panos Panay: The Surface Line Isn’t Going Anywhere

    That said, I seem to remember similar rumors about XBox (especially when the 360 was out). It was generally a money-losing segment at the time, so why would they bother sinking money into it. Bottom line: Analysts know nothing.

    AMD RX Vega 64 Outperforming NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti in Forza 7

    Forza games have never been well optimized, so this seems like a random thing more than anything else.

    Tim Cook Calls $999 iPhone X a “Value Price” in New Interview

    The difference here is that $700 graphics cards can provide a better experience than a $400 one. This is hardly the case for phones, where competing products actually can (and have more features).

    Long editorials on front page news

    I've noticed a few news posts on the main page are pretty much editorials now. Not sure I like these long-winded posts now, but was curious what other [H] readers thought. Personally, I like when the front page news items are short and sweet, and one could hop into the forums for more insight...

    Samsung Galaxy 8 Launches Today and the Tame Apple Press is Terrified

    It. Did. Not. Launch. Today. Sorry, but this is one of my pet peeves. The phone was ANNOUNCED. Until it's available to the public, it hasn't "launched."

    Android Customers Are So Committed That Exploding Note 7 Did Little To Help Apple

    I went to the 6S Plus after the Note 7 recall. Seeing as I've had to return several defective Android phones over the past couple years, I decided to try something new. So far I've been quite happy!

    New MacBook Pros Fail to Earn Consumer Reports Recommendation

    From reading the article, one point they mention is that when using Chrome, battery life was consistently high over 6 tests. Makes me think the problem is partly due to Safari (or at least what Safari is doing in terms of CPU/memory usage).

    Forza Horizon 3

    Damn... With the Canadian dollar not doing well, I was hoping to not spend $900 on a 1080. At least I know 1070 would be the least I'd want. Could always overclock it. Also running an Intel Core i5 6600k that isn't overclocked yet (whaaaaaaat?) At least when I do decide to do so, my h100 v2...

    Forza Horizon 3

    Not sure if I should ask this here or in the video card forums, but what video card would you recommend for a 2560x1080 (21:9) setup to get the most out of this game? This is honestly the push I've been needing to finally get a good GPU (and possibly a wheel, but that'll be down the road).

    Apple's iOS 10 Is Hosing iPhones

    Meanwhile, there are still more active KitKat devices than Marshmallow ones, and a bunch of iOS users are on the latest software already. The glitch was rather short-lived, and was easy enough to recover from. Hey, at least iOS makes it easy to do a FULL backup as well (not just apps and...

    Is Stereo Sound Twice As Good As Mono?

    Processing for a lot of FM stations completely destroys any sense of quality. FM CAN sound pretty good, but much like modern CDs, stations are more focused on having loud audio devoid of dynamic range.

    RX 480 is apparently killing pcie slots

    This is getting even more interesting than the Nexus 6P Bendgate controversy! I'm still going to take a wait & see approach, as I just built a new system and want to make sure I get the best GPU for a budget price. After a few weeks this issue will probably be put to rest in some way.
