Clouds?

It is also a round trip delay. Server to TV, I react, move cursor, press fire button, back to server. So, I pay that delay penalty twice in terms of user experience.

People in Paradise wanted to live in a forest- their private forest. California is going to burn - we can just try to manage where and when. The two season rain pattern, combined with very dry summers and wind patterns between the cold Pacific and the hot interior, results in heavy fuel loads...

Google has given up on new fiber builds as it was costign them too much.

i was all - "that sounds interesting" - and it was, especially the price - $450! I guess they wanted to match prices with Intel and nVidia :)

Just out of curiousity, what do you use the 10G NIC for?

I think they need to update their slogan to "First, do evil. Then do more evil."

As a former neon tube bender, I am used to bending with fire. This looks a lot safer.

Do you get any error when trying to play the movie? Or does it just downscale? Edit 1 :I am thinking it is the active adaptor, but not sure why it is content specific. Does it stream Amazon movies to your normal computer display?

When Starlink gets deployed, it should be ideal for real rural internet connections. Not so good for near suburbs, since you will be sharing with potentially too many people in the area. https://www.reddit.com/r/Starlink/

At these prices, I am unlikely to buy anyway. However, if every other site has reviews a month earlier than H, there will be less traffic reading the review.

Would you get the sample sooner than retail?

Costco is going to have the Samsung 6290 40" HDTV for $299 again before Black Friday. Makes a nice, cheap, 4k Monitor. There are endless threads on this in the Display forum. Picked up one last year and will probably buy another one for the work computer this time.

This is interesting. My post-Steam gaming breaks down into two sets of game styles and fear of addiction. 1. The ones I can play on autopilot late at night - almost always some single player scrimmage thing Sins of a Solar Empire = 1,370 hours Rise of Nations = 572 hours Civ 5 = 304 hours...

My eyes have had some bad things happen to them and the windows scaling is more about eye strain than PPI sharpness- I don't run at 100% normally because the small text is too much strain when looking from corner to corner when coding. I will crank it down when debugging to me see more...

I went cheap last Black Friday with a Samsung 40" HDTV to use as a dev/gaming monitor driven by a 1080, replacing a 3 screen mixed 27"/24" setup under Windows 10. I like it much better after some adjustment period. I do tend to adjust the windows scaling depending on what I am doing...

Range, range, range and range. Next question?

This "study" was basically an ad for their programmer testing software.

6290 back on sale at Bestbuy for $299.99

Do have anti-aliasing on or off? Turned it off since I don't see jaggies at 4k on a 40" TV and it got frame rates above 60 for most games on a 1080.

They are no longer in stock on website and they removed the listing. Was there yesterday, because I was thinking of buying a second one.

Because of my desk, I am sitting 2.5 feet away. Adapted really quickly moving from a 27" to this. Would have problems moving back to a smaller monitor now, even after using this for only three weeks. Still trying to decide if I need DisplayFusion or AquaSnap to manage the screen real estate...

Sins Of A Solar Empire - 1301 hours over 6 years. It is the game I play when I don't want to think too hard :). Borderlands 2 - 654 hours since 2013. and a ton of games between 50-150 hours.

I am confused. So, are they having your PC connect to their localish servers, which then try to see if they have a faster route between their servers than I would get direclty over the internet? And faster then use their proxy?

the 570 at least allows you to hide most of it

You might want to try to update the firmware - mine is the current 1145 version.

They were canceling it as I walked to the counter to pick it up. Manager said it was a known mistake and wouldn't match.

The Gigabyte 1080 boards have a new Rev 2 - same part number GeForce® GTX 1080 Xtreme Gaming Premium Pack 8G and the new one GeForce® GTX 1080 Xtreme Gaming Premium Pack 8G (rev. 2.0) When i asked their support what was different, the answer was "I just asked the VGA Marketing and they said...

likw this? Compaw Luggable. You could probably fit a modern computer in one... hmm. ( turns to ebay) Also, this one: http://oldcomputers.net/compaqiii.html

If you are a Costco member, they are having the 40" KU6290 for $289.99 starting Friday. Largely the same as KU6300, different remote control.

At this point in time, which is the safest 1080 brand to buy? Gigabyte? Need something in next 2 weeks. thanks!

At the time, the choice was 720p and 1080i. 720p was better for sports, worse for thing with less motion.

DId verify that the 40" 6290 will be $290 at Costco Starting Black Friday - they have the model in store if you want to look at it.

It looks like the 40" is going to be $290 at Costco starting Nov. 18. It looks like this years model, but they are not showing model numbers in the leaked ads.

Share what lines? Crappy copper? MSO cable plant? This made sense back in the early DSL days, but it wouldn't buy consumers much of anything at this point.

Zero. This is Google looking at where they are spending their money and what they are getting for it. Building a physical plant is a whole different, much worse, business to be in than cloud oriented businesses. Lots of dollars and time spent to just split up the market with the incumbents...

AT&T has been changing from DSL to Fiber in most markets, including san antonio. Ther fiber crews are usually contract and AT&T may not be controlling their work schedules. I assume the trenching is in the right of way, which you pay taxes on, but don't control...

That is the default behavior and is how my setup works. 27" and 24" LCDs, extended desktop between monitors. When i run a game, it runs on the Primary monitor only.

The NSA and CIA thank you for your purchase...

Intel made a major tactical mistake back in teh day when they killed off the StrongArm/xScale division because the PC chip people won the internal fight about the future. they were wrong.
