    Do you remember your history of smartphones?

    Blackberry 8330 Nexus S Nexus 5 Nexus 6 LG V35 Samsung S22+ I tend to keep a phone until something goes wrong. The headphone jack on my V35 had a mechanical failure. The wifi radio in the Nexus 5 died. All the Android phones had terrible performance degradation over time (good for the first...

    The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt: Official Thread

    I'm just fearing I'll enjoy it less due to the high bar set by Witcher 3. I already have a copy so it's just a timing thing right now.

    The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt: Official Thread

    I've put this game down a couple times since release. First, to pause and wait for the expansion content so I didn't out level it. Then again because I moved/changed jobs and took a break from gaming for a long while. I finally acquired a modern video card and got back into it though! 126 hours...

    RAID 10 on Adaptec RAID 2405 - array not seen when degraded

    You can use arcconf to force the logical drive (array) back online (sounds like it's offline?).

    People’s Gmail Accounts Appear to Be Sending Out Spam

    I got hit by this too, but after reviewing the security info in the emails it was apparent that the from address was forged. The emails were not signed by Google and also not sent by a Google mail server.

    It Looks like Samsung’s Galaxy S9 Will Have a Headphone Jack

    Even if both used the same audio circuit, bluetooth is still inferior as all forms of bluetooth audio, including aptx, use lossy compression.

    Server load problem

    The t2 family is intended for low-load applications that may need occasional higher-than-baseline performance. Lots of people use t2 instances for various production purposes; lots of people also misuse them because they didn't read how the CPU credits work and/or they didn't load test before...

    Google Pixel 2 Leaks 15 New Features

    Sure, the lack of a headphone jack is a non-starter (I use my phone for music in the garage, in the car, and all sorts of other places that need an 1/8" jack), but what's the word on wireless charging? I'm still holding onto my Nexus 6 because wireless charging seems to have gone away in the...

    Thinking about getting glass mousepad

    I still have an ancient grey Icemat for my primary PC and the only issue I've had is the constant cleaning requirement as mentioned by others. Other than that, it's been great with all the mice I've used over the years.

    Point and Laugh at Jason Bourne

    I laughed out loud in the theater when I heard "Use SQL to disrupt their databases" and again when I saw a 192.256.x.x IP in the camera's focus. What a fucking joke. With all the money that goes into movies couldn't they hire some high school kid to vet the tech language in a movie?

    Hopefully it looks better on release. I played the hell out of DOW II, but I don't know if I could do the same in a cartoony game.

    Ubuntu hard drive

    df shows file system usage. Unless you know the disk is partitioned with a single partition using all available disk space, it's safer to use something like parted, fdisk, or smartctl: sean-laptop sean # parted /dev/sda print Model: ATA SAMSUNG MZ7TD256 (scsi) Disk /dev/sda: 256GB <output...

    Unable to connect to cisco with USB to serial adaptor because of missing ttyUSB0 file

    In case you're wondering what happened here: /dev/ttyUSB0 should be a character device file. e.g. sean@sean-laptop ~ $ file /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/ttyUSB0: character special (188/0) Removing the directory made it possible for udev to create the file when the adapter was re-plugged-in. udev will...

    Mechwarrior Online, anyone looking foward?

    Welcome to Battletech in the 3050 era with double heatsinks. The same problem exists in the tabletop. I wish they hadn't chosen this time line for MWO :(

    Oculis Rift preorders are up Jan.6th

    Maybe I'm out of the loop: why is this bundled with bloat/a controller (yes, I know there is a partnership in place with M$, but that isn't a real reason though artificially bloating the price could be a real reason)? Oculus will be compatible with keyboard/mouse, right?

    Steam Link and Controller what are your thoughts (POLL)

    Neither, but I'm not voting because drugs are bad mmmkay. I have no living room setup; funds instead go into computer stuff like a GTX 980Ti and a 34" 21:9 monitor. I also hate controllers for anything but racing/flight sim type games (in which case a wheel or joystick are preferred rather...

    The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt: Official Thread

    I concur. If I paid for Witcher 3 based on my perceived value of the game, I'd have paid over $100 (for the base game).

    The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt: Official Thread

    For what it's worth, I haven't had a single crash or error so far in my 48-49ish hours of game play. My system is running all stock (I know, not very [H] of me).

    The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt: Official Thread

    In many situations you do know what you're fighting in advance though. If I'm working on a contract for X monster, I'll check the bestiary to see what it effective against it and check that I have the appropriate oil, decoction, and potions. I'm only level 18 right now and have been spending...

    The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt: Official Thread

    I'm 38 hours in and level 14. I think this is going to turn into a 150 hour play through at this rate. Given that, I should be able to experience the first expansion drop before I finish the game too.

    Do you tighten your motherboard screws all the way?

    5 inch/lbs for 4-40 and 7 inch/lbs for 6-32, actually (that's what we do here at work). 6 all around probably works fine though.

    Both versions of MGS V coming to Steam.

    Shitty keyboard/mouse control is a traditional hallmark of a poor port. It is definitely a highly weighted variable when judging a port's quality, IMO. After all, the keyboard and mouse are the preferred input controls for the vast, vast majority of PC games (perhaps except racing and flight...

    Both versions of MGS V coming to Steam.

    I thought there was a keyboard bindings menu somewhere inside the main menu. I'll have to check when I get home.

    Both versions of MGS V coming to Steam.

    Keyboard and mouse seem to work fine. It's just annoying to see all the controller references when I'm not using one. Don't go to the dark side ;)
