    Promising Star Wars: KOTOR Fan-Made Reboot Gets Shuttered by Lucasfilm

    I really wish they would change the standard for I.P. protection to something along the lines of having to be still available for sale from the creator in volume (as in they can't keep 1 copy for 50 years to protect themselves). The whole point was to protect/allow the originator to make profit...

    Alphacool Eiskoffer Lucky Draw

    This would be just in time for me to start my upgrade build.... From a Dell Precision 490 workstation (dual E5335 & 24 GB ram) with a GTX 66Ti... To probably mid-tier TR depending on what deals can be had and a 2080Ti. Just got a new job that actually pays enough to re-join the hobby :)

    Sintrones In-Vehicle Computing Platform Is Powered by AMD Ryzen Embedded SoC

    I don't know about your car... My 4 door sedan came stock with a 180A alternator. That makes this amount to about 2.5% of the total capacity if it's running balls out. Even if you want to be conservative and run 50% of the alternator load it still is only 5% of your capacity. I don't think...

    Janitor Gets Jailed Over Data Theft

    Last time i looked at a HDD, I couldn't see the bits of information that were stored on the drive (where you could see and likely hear the child in the car). It's also not directly harming anyone byond basic larceny taking the drive. To scale the analogy properly would be something like of...

    Taking a Look Back at the GTX 680

    Wow... I feel outdated... I'm still on a 660Ti, in a Dell precision 490 (dual Xeon E5335s). With the state of cards today I'd be tempted to get a second 660ti and go SLI but sadly the P490 can't do that either :/

    Hawaii Looks to Ban Loot Box Games

    My only problem with this is the same as some others... Either you are an adult at 18 and the maximum restriction age allowed to be set by any government is 18, or it's 21 and that becomes the age for voting and everything else... Oh, and that age also would be required to be the age to start...

    Tesla Expands Sales of Solar Gear at Home Depot

    Until people are willing to dedicate considerable amounts of land for solar production decentralization will never work. Plus then you have all the issues that large scale grids have and less resources to deal with them. Until all power is buried, even neighbourhood power is subject to...

    Oregon Admits It Violated Free Speech Rights of Mats “I Am an Engineer” Jarlstrom

    So... Any Idea when the shadow war is going to start? I need to know when to start building my underground bunker ;)

    Oregon Admits It Violated Free Speech Rights of Mats “I Am an Engineer” Jarlstrom

    So I have to ask, and this isn't meant to be an insult, Is English your first language? I'm only asking as it would explain a lot of the misunderstanding. so let's start from the beginning. "In court what he did would be perjury, plain and simple. The man lied to government officials by...

    Google Is Hiring 10,000 Reviewers to Clean Up YouTube

    I'm hoping sarcasm... But just in case, not actually male. The joke was started as a response to Lauren southern applying for and receiving an official change of gender to male by the government of Canada, to prove how pathetic/stupid they have gotten.

    Lockheed Martin is Going to Build Laser Weapons for U.S. Fighter Jets

    Yo do realize this is intended as a Phalanx/CIWS type of system for an aircraft, it's not intended to replace missiles or cannons on them. It's just to provide for missile defense for the individual aircraft. So it's this or 12K Lbs of CWIS gun... Seems like the laser might be more practical...

    America Is Running Out of Cassette Tape

    Just as a point of clarification... Dolby noise reduction was never intended as a single sided system. The cassette would have to be mastered with Dolby NR and played on a player with the proper system selected. During the mastering the dolby NR BOOSTED the high end range over the range of...

    FBI Could Not Access Nearly 7K Devices Because of Encryption

    Um... That is EXACTLY how it DOES work. It gets sticky at the point of combination or key lock. You can be compelled to provide the physical key to a lock, but they can not compel you to provide the combination to a lock. This has been tried in courts many many times, and gets thrown out...

    MSI X399 SLI Plus is Beefy

    So what they are saying is that if you have SLI, this is a 4 slot card... Being that only water cooled cards would have any chance to allow access to the 1x slots. Seems like slot 3 and 6 would have been the more logical places for the 16x slots (or move the 1x slots).

    Youtube Bans Bump-stock Gun Mod Videos

    Um.. Have you looked at the political background of almost all of the last mass shooters? Registered Democrats or *children* of them. Simple. When you can find a foolproof way of preventing the military (or any other federal organization) from having the ability to use those types of weapons...

    Caseking to Sell Core i7-8700K with 99% Silver Heatspreader

    That isn't exactly accurate. The die is still relatively small and would likely not contact all the heatpipes (in the case of air) and would only use a small contact area of a water block. I don't think silver's thermal conductivity is high enough to solve this problem, but there is a better...

    Verizon Is Disconnecting 8,500 Customers Who Need Its Service the Most

    People living in big cities complaining about crime rates make me LOL... Se how stupid that line of reasoning is. If you think people should have to move to the city to get internet (and shouldn't be able to change anything to get it), than why not demand that people move out of the city to...

    Samsung Unveils New Electric Car Batteries for up to 430 Miles of Range

    It's not so much a chemistry change as a usable volume change. The thickness used by the cells can and coating layers takes about 2mm of the 18650 cells diameter. By increasing the diameter by 3 mm (or any other number you wish) you gain almost 40% greater volume. The balance is that you also...

    Lian-Li Announces Availability of the DK-05 Motorized Adjustable PC Desk

    The site fails to mention the limit on the -05, but the table load limit on the -04 is stated at 100Kg... So that should leave you with somewhere around 190lb of load available..

    VR Smartphone Controlled Paper Airplane

    I like LTT and all, but this really falls more to someone like FliteTest. What a tekky considers potato-quality video might be considered perfectly capable to someone flying an RC plane (or maybe not), but I don't have one... So I can't say.

    Creative Unveils Sound Blaster with RGB Lighting

    What I find funny is this... "People still use sound cards? I use a DAC".... So you are saying "people still use sound cards? I use a SOUND CARD" DACs ARE sound cards. And unless they are completely isolated from the computer (optical inputs and external power supply), have 95% of the...

    Panasonic Researching Sensor That Captures HDR in One Shot

    Well, first you can do the exact same editing with this. I would really doubt the put some DRM in to prevent you from editing the raw images... That would guarantee that no professional would buy it, and they are the ones with the money for this. And second, Would you rather start your edits...

    Lawsuit: UploadVR Had "Kink Room," Pressured Female Employees to "Microdose"

    Well it mostly started in the mid-ish 90s when certain groups decided that the best way to force society to change to their way of thinking was to start the myth that women don't like sex as much as men. And because of that even talking about sex within earshot of a female was sexual...

    AMD Shows of Epyc Datacenter CPU

    Farmers get Cornholed by DRM Software

    Ya know... I though the Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act would have been able to be applied to this...

    Totally Legit FLIR AM4 Motherboard Image Testing

    Also the Cat (as in Caterpillar) S60 has one built in. It's a mid-range phone that is also water-resistant to 2 meters normally or 5 meters in its water resistant mode. It retails for $599 if memory serves. If they can fix the optical camera quality issue It's what I'll be getting for my next...

    LG Launches 32UD99-W 32" Class 4K UHD IPS LED Monitor with HDR10 and FreeSync

    I really don't like monitors with external power supplies. Having 3 extra wall warts for my monitors is a pain in the a$$. As for OLED... My dell 2401 is running fine (I pre-ordered mine), that's not something that anyone with a OLED display will be able to claim. Now Q-dot (Samsung) 32"...

    Company 3D-Prints House in 24 Hours

    Yeah, It's miss-worded... It looks like it could print a 145 M^2 round concrete structure for about $34.1K. This specific printer could also do about a 910 ft^2 building. Though this may only be the framing (and some insulation) part of the job, if you think you could get a contractor to come...

    Youtube Celebrity Admits Guilt to FIFA Gambling Offences
