    Liquid Metal Pro destroyed my stock heatsink

    I just made a quick video showing how this thermal compound dissolved and destroyed this stock Dell heatsink. I couldn't find any results on google for it destroying any other heatsinks so I don't know how well documented this issue is, so here you can see the carnage for yourself: For some...

    Microsoft Invites Valve, Nintendo, and Others to Join Xbox One and PC Crossplay

    Thanks for saying that I was surprised nobody mentioned it yet. Nintendo has less than a zero percent chance of doing something like this. They've always gone their own way, no matter what the market or other companies are doing. Hell they still struggle to understand what the internet is for...

    EA: Mass Effect Was Unfairly Criticized, Franchise Could Return

    This is the same path all businesses follow when profit is the number 1 goal above all else, everything else suffers. Interstate '76 is my favorite game of all time, made by Activision. Back when they made good games.

    Alibaba Is Bringing "Car Vending Machines" to China

    Car delealers are such a stupid system. If I buy a new car I want it fully specced how I want it from the factory, not compromised with whatever features it happens to have on the lot. There is no need for a middleman anymore. I guess unless you are just an average person who doesn't really know...

    Noctua's Alleged Manufacturing Discrepancies Put to the Test

    According to that video they are tooling up to meet demand. Making new molds is super expensive so companies only do it if they really have to so they must be growing. If I had any money I would buy some stock in them. Gaming is still growing and many are getting adult jobs now and have money to...

    Blizzard Shuts Down Legacy WoW Fan Server Hours After It Goes Up

    I tried playing on one of those free vanilla servers and it was kind of fun. But I quit vanilla wow back in the day around lvl 47 because of how childish it is, all I really wanted was a slightly cooler theme and maybe some blood effects. Something about slicing and hacking away on some creature...

    Ethereum Miners Are Renting Boeing 747s to Ship Graphics Cards

    Microsoft Confirms That Windows 10 Will Cut Off Devices with Older CPUs

    I haven't updated my Windows 7 since I installed it years ago, except when a new program actually needs it for some reason i.e. dot net update or whatever. Everything works the way I want it to. Every program and game I have runs perfectly. I have never had automatic updates turned on ever. No...

    Elon Musk: AI Is Society's “Biggest Risk”

    We are built out of what used to be solitary single celled organisms amassed together into a larger collective molecular machine. In turn we built the internet and ubiquitous computers (in the form of cell phones) giving us a 'hive mind' ability similar to creatures such as ants and bees who act...

    Elon Musk: AI Is Society's “Biggest Risk”

    Oddworld Creator Calls out Nintendo's Third-Party Support: Switch Has “No Hope”

    The PS1 and PS2 were both made with 3rd party support and being easy to develop for in mind. And they were two of the most successful consoles of all time because of their absolutely massive libraries. They make really good first party titles and that's about all they have going for them these...

    Escaped Inmate May Have Used Wire Cutters Delivered by Drone

    AI Building AI to Make Better AI...that will Likely make Skynet

    Hollywood Fearing Worst Box Office Summer in a Decade

    Exactly the whole point is a superior viewing exprrience. Bring back the big screens and invest in some nice projectors. If they can do that then they still have to stop making bland movies and go back to the fundamentals of what makes for engaging film.

    Ranger is Back in QUAKE Champions

    I think that's the best a mainstream studio can do these days if they don't want to take a huge hit in profit. Only smaller and more indie devs can make truly great games like Pillars of Eternity or Shovel Knight, or even the witcher series but that was more of a fluke. To have a game be...

    Retrospective: Why Did Old PCs Have Key Locks?

    Nice silicon graphics machine. Donkey Kong Country was rendered using a silicon graphics machine to pre-render the 3D models into 2D sprites or something like that that's how the game looked so much better than others at the time. Those programmers were really cutting edge and so were some of...

    Retrospective: Why Did Old PCs Have Key Locks?

    it was more like this And I trimmed it so that it was flush with the front of the case. The back end had the standard 80mm intake fan. From the front like I said it was trimmed to the contours of the case so it looked pretty legit. A cold air intake of sorts :)

    Retrospective: Why Did Old PCs Have Key Locks?

    The Antec case that I got 13 or so years ago has a lock for the side door. Never used it. I remember when I got that case I was really exited by the custom PC build pictures on here this was before there were 'gaming' style consumer computers being offered so it was rare to have a window or...
