    Metro Exodus Is an Epic Store Exclusive

    While I agree the platform is the same Epic's launcher doesn't have a Linux variant. I find it a bit odd that Tim Sweeny was going ape over Microsofts store a few years back but still forces us into being reliant on Windows. Killer feature for me on Steam is Valve did the dirty work of emulating...

    Half Life and Portal Writer is Back at Valve

    6 months ago I would agree, things have changed. Epic is snagging Unreal engine games to be exclusive to their store and have the most popular game on twitch presently. I wonder if Valve is feeling some pressure to release a killer app on their platform. :) One can hope.

    NVIDIA Claims That GPU Prices Will Continue Increasing through Q3 2018

    My plan was to move my old Ivy bridge over as a home data server and use Ryzen as my desktop. Memory prices at their current state had me waiting then and I'm still waiting. Until Cas14 16GB kits get closer to $120 mark vs the present $220 mark.. I'll be just chillin here. On the upside by the...

    Apple’s iMac Pro Arrives December 14, Starting at $4,999

    I just can't wrap my head around how they will be able to transfer something like 400-500w of TDP out of an imac chassis I want to play with one of these just so I can see if it's gimped and downclocked, throttles like crazy or they've thought of some really great cooling solution.

    Consumer Reports Ranks iPhone X below iPhone 8

    Honest question. What do people do with a $1000 phone? Is there some kind of killer app I'm just not aware of? Most I've spent on a phone was my Nexus 4 when they went EOL sale, since then $50 and under does the trick for me. I know each person has their preference; I'd rather get a $700...

    Steam: Gamers Are Abandoning Windows 10 in Huge Numbers

    I rolled back to 7. I've run Win10 since alpha and kept giving MS chance after chance to give me more control. 2 weeks ago I spent a night trying to troubleshoot why twitch kept freezing and internet was insanely slow. Next day out of the blue I get a pop up trying to push 1709 build on me...

    Amazon Introduces "Amazon Key" In Home Delivery

    Wait for home owner to auth unlocking the door the send deauth packets to the camera to kill the connection. Now you're inside unsupervised. Install root kit on someones mobile phone so you can access the unlock app. Let yourself in. I wouldn't call people paranoid who don't want this. We are...

    Why Phone Makers Are Trying to Kill the Headphone Jack

    The phone industry seems to be the only one I know of where removing things is considered a feature. My perfect phone would be 1-2 days of normal usage battery life, slide out qwerty keyboard, sd card, usb charging/data port, micro hdmi, headphone jack and removable battery. Damned the...

    Windows 10 User Base on Steam Stagnates as Windows 7 Rises

    I also get paid to support these things. One thing I've noticed is slight resistance to subscriptions. Our clients don't want office 365 and are confused why they need to pay a subscription for Meraki. I think there will be major push back if Windows as Service becomes a reality. If we don't...

    Latest Version of Denuvo Anti-Tamper Tech Cracked

    I see everyone saying people who want game cracked only are out for free games. I don't think this is like a coin with only two sides. The old phrase but can it run Crysis is the best way I can summarize it. I pirated Crysis back when it was new and was to poor to afford a pc that could really...

    You Don't Need An iPhone

    I had to defend the author a bit, even if it was a whiny article. Once phones hit quad core ages ago how much more responsive would I possibly need one to be for phone calls, texts, emails and music? Only flagship phone I owned was $250 Nexus 4 when google had that price drop. Ahhh, senility...

    New Zealand Makes Cyberbullying A Crime

    Yes, I'm torn on the issue. Part of me does say it's good, the other side just wonders how far we go. I'm still after 25yrs or so pretty hard to find online, I was taught way back in the 90s to never give out personal info online. I think for repeat offenders this is good, if someone is like...

    New Zealand Makes Cyberbullying A Crime

    Conversely, maybe if you don't want to be harassed don't give jerks your personal email or use a throw away account. This may be an unpopular opinion, maybe people need thicker spines? I survived highschool being called various names, I didn't really care. Sticks and stones,etc.
