    Borderlands 3

    Yeah I never really even paid attention to the Borderlands story, it seemed more like an afterthought to me. But a lot of the characters are iconic. IMO that's what you need to nail to make it a good Borderlands movie. That, and the guns.

    Surge Protector/Line Conditioner

    I just use a full on Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) that do all of that plus have battery back up. I have a few of the cyberpower ones. You can get them for $150-$250 on amazon. I'm not sure how they compare to other brands but they've been working great for me.

    Ai Restaurant opens in California

    Society will move on nonetheless. Automation and improved efficiency has continually been disrupting jobs throughout history. There have been bigger disruptions than "AI" in the past and people adapted and found ways to provide value. It wasn't long ago over half the people in the US were...

    Ai Restaurant opens in California

    That's essentially just a vending machine restocked with hot food. There is a modern form of that. You place your order in an app, then just go up and grab the bag with your number on it off a shelf, or they call your number/name and you just go grab it from the person, or through a drive...

    LG 32GS95UE – OLED 31.5″ with 4K @ 240Hz and 1080p @ 480Hz Support - The death knell of LCD panels

    The TL;DR from that video is the matte coating ruins it. Too bad. I wouldn't be happy with a tiny 32" anyways, I want the 240/480 stuff in their TVs.

    AMD CTO claims to have completed AI enablement of entire portfolio and 2024 is the deployment year

    I never said their current stuff uses AI, I said they have probably been working on a version that does.

    POE isn't an option for him though, the garage doesn't share electric with the house.

    AMD CTO claims to have completed AI enablement of entire portfolio and 2024 is the deployment year

    IDK, kinda sounds like it's just AMD marketing speak and people are trying to turn it into news. I'm sure they've been working on enhancing FSR with AI for a while now.

    Need Recommendations: Best way to extend signal to garage?

    I share internet between 2 houses about 100 feet apart. The first thing I tried was a router in bridge mode with one directional antenna on each side, it worked ok but speeds weren't great. I had them inside the nearest walls pointing at each other. Next I tried TP Link long range outdoor...

    How to quiet down a portable AC unit in the PC room?

    Portable AC units have terrible efficiency, and they're noisy. If you can do a window unit it would be much better.

    WTF MS?

    It's probably through steam link using the PS5. Also psvr2 isn't as great as the specs imply. What they listed is marketing bullshit. The screen has insanely high persistence by default which causes most people motion sickness after about 15 minutes, and when you lower the persistence to...

    Porn

    They've got full VR multiplayer games with all sorts of special "controllers" now, and "4D" 8k 180 degree videos that also work with "controllers". I've never done/watched any of that of course 😉, I'm just interested in the technology.

    Playstation VR2 discussion thread

    That's sort of strange, ambiguous wording. Hopefully you can just plug the headset into a PC and it uses OpenXR so you can play unrestricted, through Steam or whatever. It would be pretty disappointing if they restricted it and made you buy all the PC games through a Playstation store or...

    Borderlands 3

    This movie seems like a classic hollywood, we're taking the general idea of the game, but completely ignoring all the details and making it however we feel like. Also the trailer is giving "we have guardians of the galaxy at home" vibes

    LG 32GS95UE – OLED 31.5″ with 4K @ 240Hz and 1080p @ 480Hz Support - The death knell of LCD panels

    I personally wouldn't sacrifice resolution if it's already 120hz or more, but counter strike and some other competitive games don't have many encounters where people are far enough away for higher resolution to make a significant difference.

    But total spending was up 16%. I wonder if that was Fortnite or their other games.

    Wifi6e on 7

    If you want the speeds at any significant range you definitely need to pay for a higher end router. I have wifi 6e Asus AXE11000. My wifi 6e phone maxes out my gigabit connection over WIFI throughout most of my house. It's a $700 system though. I had a $70 wifi 6e budget router before that...

    Same for me. I don't like wearing anything at all. In fact I am completely naked. I can't even stand my own hair touching me, I shaved my whole body clean. I can't stand having my hands on a keyboard or mouse. I'm in the corner of the room yelling at the computer right now to post this so I...

    The Apple Vision Pro goes on sale in the US on February 2 for $3,499

    The Vision Pro's hand tracking runs at 30 fps so it's too laggy to use for VR games. You basically just can't play VR game's in the VP which sucks. Quest 3's hand tracking actually works pretty well for gaming. Maybe the VP traded off better occlusion for higher latency. I think Apple just...

    [GOG] Flatout FREE till 2-22-24

    When I read the description I remembered reading about a game that had realitic car damage 20 years ago and thought it would be cool to see how far it's come. I never actually played it so I didn't remember what it was called. I didn't expect it to actually be that game lol.

    Uncensored A.I. chat software that you can run locally on your PC

    From the looks of it I think the new NVIDIA thing is basically just an interface they made for the same models you would get from hugging face. I haven't actually tried it though. I've used this https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui which works pretty well. They can work pretty...

    Amazon Prime Video will start showing ads on January 29th

    Probably just your TV settings, or the TV itself handles HDR poorly. If you're not playing it directly from the TV's built in app it's more likely to be messed up settings because that device doesn't know your TV's capabilities with contrast, peak brightness, supported frame rates, etc. But...

    When Will 8K TVs Catch On?

    I wouldn't worry about 8k. The jump from 1080p to 4k is massive compared to the jump from 4k to 8k. We're at the point of diminishing returns for resolution. Other things like contrast and peak brightness make a much, much bigger difference than resolution does at this point.

    Oh Samsung, you had one chance to redeem yourself......Tech cuts guy's TV to void warranty and Reddit removes video from the post.

    When warranties are denied it's historically been systemic and part of company policies. That's completely different and saying it in that case would be justified. A scumbag employee doing something bad and getting fired isn't the same thing. "Samsung" and "Samsung employee" has different...

    Oh Samsung, you had one chance to redeem yourself......Tech cuts guy's TV to void warranty and Reddit removes video from the post.

    Because it's the equivalent of a McDonald's employee spitting in your food then saying "McDonald's spit in my food". It's just a scumbag that would immediately get fired if they got caught doing it. Saying they "represent" the company is dishonest IMO because that's not normal behavior...

    Oh Samsung, you had one chance to redeem yourself......Tech cuts guy's TV to void warranty and Reddit removes video from the post.

    It's pretty easy to get stuff removed on Reddit. Just offer to pay a mod $100. Mod corruption has been a problem for Reddit's entire existence. But it probably wasn't that, they're super babies about any images of people being posted. I also think titling it "SAMSUNG KNIFED MY TV" is just...

    Starfield

    They're rating the game based on how they feel in the moment instead of their overall experience. If it is a multiplayer game that was updated and completely changed I can understand it, but otherwise I consider it illogical or dishonest. The people who do it will throw a fit if if you ask...

    Starfield

    I figured Starfield was probably more like Fallout in space than Skyrim in space but I would still enjoy it. But I didn't. I liked Oblivion and Skyrim because there is a ton of freedom and you can play how you want. There weren't other games that had comparable freedom and size like them at...

    I can not get my center speaker to work with my L/R front speakers.

    Yes, it would be the same with a full 5.1 system too. What you're trying to do is generally handled by the speaker system itself, not windows. Most surround sound systems have a mode called 5 channel stereo where it takes a Left/Right stereo signal and plays it through every speaker. Maybe...

    Would you buy an Ai generated Videogame?

    Yeah, more and more things have become automated in games over time. The "AI generated" no different than what's been happening for decades. Terrain generation is a very good example. It used to be completely manually coded, then editors were created, then it was "randomly generated" in the...
