    Frustrated Father Accidentally Takes Down Town's Internet

    Hoping he gets serious trouble from this. That same time of jamming signals could have caused someone to die that needed emergency help. Ignorance is no excuse nor are good intentions. Obviously researched enough to find a jammer to buy and too stupid to find a better solution.

    Bill Gates predicts our work meetings will move to metaverse in 2-3 years

    The biggest gripe I have had from coworkers and friends is WFH is better in everyway except they get more work done. Also can't forget about banging the secretaries as that would surely be less fun in the metaverse. I think the future is flex for positions that have on site responsibilities and...

    Recommend: monitor for home office and photo edits

    If going ultrawide 38" 3840x1600 minimum. Every single 34 and 35" 3440x1440 I have regretted as its only 3 windows comfortably.

    Apple announces Self Service Repair

    I love the idea of right to repair but reality is far too few people can do it right. The other issue is unlike the 1950s people try to sue when they mess up the device further. It is also just another massive cost to maintain public service info and parts. Yes they will have this internally but...

    [GOG] Corridor 7: Alien Invasion (free till ?)

    I remember buying this game in the 90s for like 10 dollars and it sucked then. Still some neat nostalgia since it uses the wolf3d engine if I remember right.

    HOT: AMD Ryzen 7 5700G $304 new @ Newegg's Ebay store

    Damn these are finally hitting reasonable prices. When I wanted one of these they were brand new and after the headache of buying a full HP system it was just easier to grab a 5950x and use an old DGPU.

    The Thing - Infection at Outpost 31 | Board game | $60 pre-order

    That game had quite good graphics and game play for the time. I honestly considered it on par with the resident evils and silent hills of the time.

    [H] Stock Alerts, Tips & Tears for Nvidia, AMD, Intel, PS5, XBOX

    Same place I finally got my 5950x. It was part gambling and being told I couldn't have it. Now that I have the system built though the speed of that thing when doing gradle builds for android made me not have buyers remorse. Way over kill for gaming though lol.

    The Great RTX 3080ti / 3070ti Scalper Event starts June 3rd

    The consoles are suffering the same fate as the cpus/gpus. I haven't been able to buy a ps5 or xbox series x since they released.

    M1 successor should be coming this summer

    I am a windows user first for casual use and linux heavy for developer work. I have always hated apple products but I picked up a m1 mac mini. Even with my bias towards hating apple they did quite a good job with it. x86 games on the other hand are a train wreck for it because rosetta 2 doesn't...

    [H] Stock Alerts, Tips & Tears for Nvidia, AMD, Intel, PS5, XBOX

    Well antonline through ebay did actually come through and now I have a 5950x in hand for $879. So over retail but not feeling hurt over that small of a markup compared to the prices I was looking at previously.

    Why did SLI and CrossFire die off?

    I had crossfire rx480s for a while and in the games it worked well in it was awesome as at the time the rendering power was unmatched. Some games on the other hand hardly got a boost even when it worked, while others flatout were broken or had micro stuttering. So besides extra power draw and...

    Swapping two 32" displays for a single 38" UW or 43"?

    I am a setup junkie and try as I might I have settled on a 43" 4k samsung tv. I have a 32" hp omen sitting on the workbench and a mobile desk with the old 35" 3440x1440 ultrawide. I sit roughly 36 inches away from the screen and its wall mounted. I use 125% scaling or 150% if my eyes are...

    Apple M1 SOC platform discussion

    Well i have never owned a mac before but grabbed the m1 mac mini. Besides curiosity i got it so i can expand my mobile dev work to apple. Software incompatibilities aside it is as reviews claim stupidly snappy. Runs silent all the time and produces nearly no heat. It pains me to say it but...

    Apple M1

    If they did a 17" 16:10 version I would consider it as my dev work depends more on comfort of the machine than speed. It seems for now I will be sticking with the LG Gram 17s although I wish they would drop intel and do an 8 core ryzen. The 1065g7 in the current one isn't super slow but its not...

    Large 4k monitor vs the Ultra wides

    I have a 35" 3440x1440 ultrawide and a 43" 4k. I ended up using the 43" 4k as my main as it has the right level of real estate. If I had to do it again I would go 43" 4k or 38" 3840x1600 ultra wide. The 3440x1440 is just barely not enough for me to have my 4 windows going at once. So...

    Has anyone here went from a PC Tower desktop to a laptop ? If so why and do you feel it was worth it?

    I completely abandoned normal desktops in 2018. I keep a gaming laptop for gaming/heavy lifting and an LG Gram 17 for portability. I also keep a ton of hp elitedesk and intel nucs for dev servers and a stack of those the size of a regular mid tower atx is about 20 machines. My main reason was...

    For the 96% who failed to get a 3080

    Nothing, my gtx 1080 egpu and rtx 2060 in the gaming laptop are far more than I need. Most the games when I rarely play are 15 years old so 4k 60 fps is effortless even with these cards. I will be keep an eye out for the AMD release out of curiosity. So if I ever decide to do another tower that...

    PS5 Price Revealed

    I wonder if it will be easy and cheap to mod in a disc drive on the cheaper model. I am sure people will look into it. If they by chance use the same motherboard and just a different case might happen sooner than later.

    I think they need to take a closer look at themselves as an economy and laws that affect industry as to why they are not that relevant in tech anymore.

    Softbank selling ARM to Nvidia, finally after year of speculation...

    I would have agreed with this 10+ years ago but more and more major software is going cloud based or running in a browser. As a dev I am constantly getting pulled into nodejs,web dev, and mobile stuff now a days. It is pretty rare now that I do native apps or systems level work. Arm cpus can run...

    Lenovo P71 getting tired - P73 or other options?

    Jack Dorsey Tells Andrew Yang: 'AI is Coming For Programming Jobs'

    Anyone that has written very simple classifiers from scratch, RNN, or CNN for example know how far off this is from reality. Even using things like tensorflow to simplify the difficulty, AI is a long long way off from replacing coders. If anything its just another framework skill set as I have...

    Overscan issue with RX480 and TCL 50S425 Windows 10

    So helping a family member out with their new computer and at 4k on this tv it overscans. Normally I would just flip a setting in the tv or the radeon driver suite but it seems the hdmi slider is missing. Does anyone have an idea on how to correct overscan on this particular tv or where they...

    AMD 4800H Laptops and Less than 65% sRGB Screens

    AMD 4800H Laptops and Less than 65% sRGB Screens

    Sure you can just use a high end external monitor for color accurate work. It also is possible to swap the screen in the laptop itself to a high quality one. It is a thing I do on most of my laptops.

    The NUCs are back in town

    The Quartz canyon version that is xeon and quadro makes total sense for drop in cad boxes. This gaming version doesn't really make sense at this price even though it is small. I love my nucs and have 3 of them. The 2 i7 8559u are no slow at all but only quad core. You can now get a hex core...

    Laptop - Refurb - OVERPOWERED OP-LP2 15.6" i7-8750H, GeForce GTX 1060 ( $580)

    I have the 17" evoo version from this year and its a great machine. Battery life isn't fantastic but most gaming machines have poor battery life. My only hesitation for grabbing one of these is if the new ryzen chips really are a big jump in speed and battery life.

    Will we ever need more than 1 top end card from now on? Will SLI ever be seamless hardware wise?

    While it has heavily died off in SLI/Crossfire use for games it is bigger than ever for machine learning and data science. My last crossfire setup was dual rx480s which when it did work actually allowed decent 4k gaming but most of the time it was a waste of power and heat. Right now my main...

    2015 Samsung 4k TV as a Monitor Set Up Guide

    Show Your LCD(s) setups!!!

    That is quite the setup. I am guessing you sit quite a ways back as that display setup is about the same vertical height as a 65" tv?
