Honestly, if he just put a rack of ASIC rigs in a closet with a "high voltage do not touch", no one would have asked any questions. There are probably dozens or more such setups sitting in plain sight all over the place, that people have no idea what they are and don't dare touch.

My Dad worked on NOVA and NIF, designing the targeting adjustment system. To be honest I kind of wrote off NIF, as much of the team had moved towards trying to find commercial application for the research and seemed to be abandoning the original core research.

I decided it wasn't worth bothering trying to get a card until next year, I'm just glad I didn't buy the 2080Ti. That aside, back in the day, Hybrid Theory was one of those CDs I'd play on my Alpine/MB Quart car stereo so much I had to burn multiple CD copies because the CDs had a limited play...

I'm going to wait on the 3090 numbers. With the ultrawide 49" (5120X1440), I would like to be able to drive the titles I've been playing the most AC Odyssey (probably Valhalla soon) and other similar open world titles closer to 100fps. If the 3090 has the headroom to somewhat justify the price...

Thanks, everyone. I ordered the Canon, because it was available from B&H for $80 off MSRP and the generic/OEM toner was widely available. A couple of the systems I looked at, finding replacement toner was a PITA. I couldn't find anyone that had the Brother ins stock or with a definite restock date.

So 1 for Brother 1 for Canon. I guess, it's a bit of a flip of a coin or maybe just what is currently in stock.

I need to pick up a new MF Laser printer for my home office, preferably color. Budget is under $750. It doesn't need fax functionality, but definitely must be wireless. So far looking at: Canon ImageClass MF644CDW (cheap and seems to do the job, but my experience with Canon drivers and software...

Level1 has a DVI that will support 4K @ 100hz+ and starts around $300, but as burburbur mentioned you can't do side by side. I've used software based KVMs and they all have flaws that make them a poor substitute.

I really wanted to order this monitor or it's predecessor as 120Hz is fine. However, the lack of KVM switching is a deal killer. Both the AOC Agon AG493UCX and LG 49WL95C-W have integrated KVM switches. For me this will be a work/game monitor, it seems a bizarre oversight to not include a KVM at...

Everything is a tube, friend. It's just a question of where the tube ends.

What's this Flash Player you link to? In Soviet Russia we don't approve of players flashing others online.

3 hours... damn, I couldn't do it either, I would have to take a piss and I'm not using astronaut diapers.

I was literally debating between the LG C97 and the Samsung Q900 75 for my living room TV. My long adversarial relationship with McAfee just made that decision easy. If they decide to do this with the S10, I won't be nabbing one of those either.

If you disable iCue, it doesn't turn dark, but you can only use the static themes. There is a video of how Corsair envisioned it working where the keyboard would flash and react to what was going on in the game, but from the comments it doesn't work for anyone. There is a new patch out, but I...

I've been enjoying the game, however the level 1,2,3, elite weapon class thing is annoying. With a level 1 weapon, every level 2 character or animal is a bullet sponge, but once you get a level 2 weapon everything level 1 is a one shot kill. The other annoying issue is my Corsair keyboard goes...

This generally falls in line with Apple's project "Marzipan" which is unifying library bases across IOS and MacOS. The notion is to have seamless app integration across all Mac devices. This isn't really new and there are many kludged together implementations like Electron, Windows Bridge...

4A is the studio that developed this. Deep Silver is the publisher that bought up their IP assets after their previous publisher, THQ, went bankrupt and liquidated all their assets. So, if you opt to not buy this title on Epic, you are punishing Deep Silver (a division Koch Media). However...

The comments of one hot headed developer shouldn't influence your decision about whether or not to buy the game. These guys literally went through hell to make this game (such as leaving their home country and moving the studio to Malta after Russia invaded Ukraine, their publisher going...

This pisses me off, they still haven't address my identification as a non-binary asexual hedgehog. As a Spartan non-binary asexual hedgehog I want a realistic existence in Spartan culture, so you know, forced gay pedophilia til the age of 13 when I'm married to woman and forced to repress my...

They are going to have to sell a lot of loot boxes to pay for that.

They probably developed this a while back and something delayed production. Now they are just looking to offload parts. Then again mining isn't what it was, but it isn't over.

Unless it's over $5k, I will order that 49" in a heartbeat. I spend way too much time working in front of dual ultrawides and that would be just about perfect.

One of the things a lot of people don't understand, when they say "Cheap labor or cost of manufacture" in China is that this move to China is relatively recent. Most of these fab plants are less than 10 years old and due for overhaul in the next couple years. This means that companies will...

Didn't he start a brewery the last time he left? Maybe he is opening a whiskey distillery... I mean that was my childhood dream. Respect to the guy, his game wasn't horrible and he made sure all his devs got paid and found new jobs before shutting down.

I read this post while in the office, I was thinking I should probably log into Intune and push out the update and right at that moment I saw one my employees' computers rebooting and applying an update out of the corner of my eye. So much for having to approve updates.

Serjeant is short for Serjeant-at-Arms, which are the court officers i.e. what we call bailiffs.

I will be leaving Take-Two a note about how I'm not going to play their game, when I'm able to order it on Steam.

There are no legit batteries available because Apple has declared the product "end of life" and refuses to produce anymore. As to the provenance of these batteries, it is unknown, but they were not being sold as genuine OEM on Rossman's store (he has been selling these for a while). The issue is...

I don't doubt China wants to do this and has done this on consumer hardware. I've just been involved in all levels of PCB fabrication and development and it's a lot more difficult than people imagine. The article tries to paint the picture of Supermicro being a secretly Chinese company in San...

There is literally no way Chinese agents show up at a fab plant and make that many changes to the manufacturing process of PCB boards and it wouldn't be reported by Supermicro's onsite management. This isn't some minor thing, it would involve multiple engineers changing settings on the assembly...

I'm doubting the Bloomberg reporting. There is so much of this that doesn't pass the basic logic test. First off you have to assume that Supermicro (an American company) made a deal with the Chinese to install these chips on custom PCB boards, spec'd by the customer, so they knew they would...

No Marine would be nicknamed Goose... too many letters. Common Marines pilots handles are Go, Ho, Oh, FU. These are all usually grunted while eating the complimentary box of crayons the maintenance crew left behind.

A crash like this doesn't mean didly until we know the cause. Compared to the Harrier, that this replaced, this is like an A-10. This is the first crash in the 12 years of F-35 flights and while I'm surprised it didn't require a patch update before the ejector seat went off, for the Marines this...

<Leaked Script> Staaay awhile and listen... Oh, Grandpa stop with your crazy stories about demons. Hey you look like an adventurer, some skeletons have been attacking the town, would you mind killing some of them for us?

Simple questions: 1) Is it only sexual harassment if it is a man towards a woman? 2) Does the harasser have to know the victim's sex? 3) If a man uses language that would be deemed harassing towards a woman, towards a man, knowing that the target is a man, would it still be construed as...

With the Aeron, if you don't get the optional lumbar support, it does suck. I never had that issue with the Leap. A few years back I took all my employees down to a office warehouse and let them pick whatever they wanted. Most got the Leap, a couple got the Aeron and I stupidly picked up a...

At that price point you can get yourself a Steelcase Leap or Hermon Miller Aeron from the nick and scratch bin. The headrest add-ons for those are bit pricey and you don't get that bolstering... but if you are serious about your sitting...

We have thousands of tanks and airplanes sitting mothballed in fields, so we wouldn't really have to build any new ones. In fact we build stuff and send it straight to mothball because of contracts that Congress won't let the Pentagon cancel. It isn't so much about tanks and planes, but how war...

I could give two flying f's about Apple's cost of manufacturing, but these tariffs are screwing with companies that are domestic manufacturers. There are a lot things, that are made in China and used for domestic manufacturing... things we don't want made here because we are still cleaning up...

Man I wish they would have cast Geralt as Isaiah Mustafa. I mean Cavill doesn't even have white hair or scars, so we really should have found someone that at least added something to the role.
