    Eluktronics: Go for it or run away?

    It seems like a brand not to go for, just by name alone, but it has a lot of positive reviews... https://www.amazon.com/Latest-Eluktronics-P650HP6-Graphic-Design/dp/B01MS7NVOJ/ref=sr_1_20?ie=UTF8&qid=1499394412&sr=8-20&keywords=Eluktronics Anyone here have any experience with it or know...

    FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler’s Departure Is Death Knell For Net Neutrality

    Those free appliances aren't free for the ISP. They have rack space, power, and thermal costs to operate. As far as competition in the market, look to the local government to fix that. They are the ones making the deals to give exclusive access to one provider. As far as big service companies...

    Ballistic Gel Vs Electricity

    It's caused by the rolling shutter effect of a CMOS sensor. It's not the electricity causing interference, but instead the refresh rate of the sensor missing the frames. You can see it during press conferences on lower quality cameras when only part of the screen is lit by the flashes from the...

    Bungie CEO Steps Down

    I waited until December to get the game, and I've been ok with it. It didn't hurt that I basically got it for $15 as it was $30 Amazon DotD and I had a $15 gift card from taking a survey. Of course that means I didn't play the game everyone else did for the first year, so I don't have any...

    Samsung Galaxy S7 Premium Edition Rumored To Have 14-Core GPU, 4K Display

    My household has a Galaxy S3 and an S4. MicroSD and removeable batteries were the deciding factors. I thought the materials these phones are made from is fine. I only see the reviewers complaining about the "high-quality" feel of the materials, or lack thereof. How many people actually touch the...

    Why Free Can Be A Problem On The Internet

    My guess is that they are either going to be serving their own ads while you watch this content, or they will be selling the user data to advertisers. It's not that subscriptions to these services will be free if you are on T-Mobile's network, just they won't count against your data usage. I...

    FCC Votes to Require Closed Captioning for Web Clips

    I know it's been a long time, but I just got back to this. I'm not saying there isn't illegal content out there. I'm saying that the rules are implicitly allowing blocking of illegal traffic, and the only way for them to know that is by knowing what each packet holds. Those examples you gave are...

    Does the [H] Still Review Sound Products?

    Thanks for the responses. I was more interested in the headphone reviews as far as finding a well-performing set at a bargain price. I'm ok with using an outboard amp to drive them. I really like the sound of the AT m50s for music, but their gaming performance, based on the review, isn't worth...

    Does the [H] Still Review Sound Products?

    It's been a long time since a product review came out. I was wondering if that has gone away. Having experienced a few of the products already reviewed, I found that my preferences and ears line up with Earl's fairly well, so he is a reviewer I trust. I'd like to see some of the Monoprice...

    Origin: Wing Commander 3 On The House

    I've still got the CDs I bought in 1997 for this, and the DVD-ROM of WC4 that came with the PC I bought at the same time, a Compaq Presario 4860.

    Netflix Pays Up, but Verizon Keeps On Throttling Traffic

    I think you've nailed it. It's the peering agreements that are the issue. The No Agenda podcast has analyzed this extensively. They have gotten past the PR BS that all the "tech reporters" have run with and gotten info directly from network engineers and ISP owners like SonicNet as to how the...

    FCC Votes to Require Closed Captioning for Web Clips

    If you want the internet to remain as open as it has been, the FCC and any other government should remain hands-off. If you look at the proposed net-neutrality rules, they say that no "legal content" should be blocked, slowed, etc. Who defines legal content and under which jurisdiction for a...

    Netflix: 'Comcast Wants The Entire Internet to Pay Them'

    I heard a clip on the No Agenda podcast that was taken from Security Now. The gist of it was that the host also ran a small ISP and was concerned about what all this would mean for his business. He talked about the early days of cable and how networks paid to be carried on those systems, but as...

    2014's Internet Belongs To Cord Cutters

    I'm not a cord cutter, but I've thought about it. No Agenda has been talking about this for a couple weeks at least. Do we really want the government regulating the internet? Do we want the ISPs to go to metered billing? It's not going to mean paying less for using less. Look at the mobile...

    NSA Can Reach ‘Into The Past’ To Replay Phone Calls

    The No Agenda podcast has covered a lot of this to great extent. They have audio clips from interviews and Congressional hearings about the "reverse wiretaps" and other things. The initial story done by The Guardian was no surprise to U.S. officials, because the editors contacted them...

    Most Players Don’t Finish Games

    Exactly this. I also have a lot of other media that I'd like to catch up on, like TV series, movies and books. My DVR is nearly full of things I plan to get to, but never seem to have the time or energy at the end of the day. Let's forget about the Netflix queue for the time being, and the...
