    Any reliable USB Hubs with USB 3.1 gen2 yet?

    I can't seem to find many outside of these: https://www.amazon.com/Type-C-10Gbps-VL820-Mounting-Plate/dp/B0767NK19L https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-USB-Hub-USB-Powered/dp/B01MSKSG70 Seems to only actually support gen1 (5 Gbps) speed. Any suggestions or just continue to play the waiting...

    Safari Browser Sheds Users, Mimicking IE

    I don't get why so much effort is put into companies to make their own web browser. I guess it's so they can have some power to exert their influence on HTML and web standards? Or is there big money in selling your browsing history? Doesn't seem like there's much profit involved.

    Congress Can Save the Internet

    I'm a little confused here, so on Sept 30th the U.S. legal oversight runs out on ICANN? Is Obama trying to block a renewal of a bill, or have the govt sell ICANN, or is it just that the House hasn't renewed it yet, or are the politicians going to go full hostage mode on the renewal until the...

    U.S. Government Wants To Electronically Limit Truck Speeds

    I've always thought they should add a dedicated commercial lane for truckers only that they can only leave if they are going to exit the freeway but that would probably cost too much.

    Google Fiber Sign Ups Go Live In Atlanta

    God I'm paying $59 for 50/5 someone help me lol. At least TWC said they will be upgrading my area to 300/30 for no extra charge in the next 6 months. Also does anyone know if Google's numbers are just 1-yr intro rates? I wouldn't be surprised if they jack it up a year later.

    Leaked AMD Zen Engineering Sample Benchmarks?

    I'm not gonna hold my breath on this one. I feel like the GloFlo FinFET yields are still really low and they probably need a whole nother year to mature their process.

    HBO Confirms “Game Of Thrones” Will End With Season 8

    I was sad to see The Bastard Executioner get cancelled after its first season. Show had great potential...seemed almost like a sequel to Braveheart, post Longshanks era. Sadly they decided to use a stupid name for the show and had some bad marketing/advertising which led to low viewership.

    What are you nerds playing this weekend?

    I always play SP games on the hardest difficulty for the challenge plus better replay value. I recently finished Witcher 3 Death March finally (110 hrs, I plowed through a bunch of the optional side quests). Now I'm playing Doom 3 on Nightmare...god I realize I haven't played a fast paced FPS...

    AMD Radeon RX 480 Video Card Review @ [H]

    Kyle I don't get this review...you said you are testing it against 4 other cards but all your charts only show the 380X and 960. Where is the 390 and 970 on the charts? Ofc it will look good when only compared to a 960. Why not put it side by side with a 1070 as well?

    How Did The U.S. Patent Office Get So Screwed Up?

    I actually read that whole article...sucks that guy got screwed. I think there should be a way to have a pre-patent closed door IPR where the prospective patent owner can prove his invention is valid to be patented before seeing his patented idea 10 years later being stolen by large companies.

    Price Warriors Are Vandalizing GeForce 1080 Reviews

    I assume I'm not alone as I'm just going to wait for the HBM2 cards to come out in 2017? The price of 4K OLED monitors still needs to go down for me :)

    NVIDIA Founders Edition Cards - Yea or Nay? @ [H]

    My one real concern with these new cards is power throttling, as the 970 has been notoriously known for being power throttled. So the 1080 is only going to use a single 8-pin power connector and TDP is 180W. I fear that lower power draw could potentially be a bottleneck. I understand it is...

    Biggest Pay Gap In America: Computer Programmers

    The main reason why women make less than men IMO is because they don't know how or want to negotiate, where men will try to haggle for another few days of PTO, another $2k salary, some office perk, etc. I was trading with a girl yesterday and I threw out an offer for exchanging 3 of my low...

    Daylight Saving Time Is Hot Garbage

    +1 this. I like having a longer amount of daylight in the evening after I get home from work. Feels less depressing with a few hours to go outside. Plus you don't typically get mugged in broad daylight compared to night time.

    President Signs Bill Making Internet Service Tax Ban Permanent

    Yeah I just didn't want to jump the shark on that one, cause it is not necessarily Obama's fault for what happens after his presidency. Social Security needs to be slowly phased out (i.e. Rand Paul - increase the minimum age limit 3 months every year, we live longer now than in 1920) and an...

    Need a recommendation on a good USB Hub

    The Natural Outcome Of The Encryption Wars In The U.S.

    Isn't it a bit sad Rand Paul had to drop out right before this happened? He would have eaten this issue up. I don't think that article you linked it is just another concern, it is THE concern about this whole mess. What's next, the govt can say all safe vault makers have to provide a master...

    Apple CEO Opposes Court Order To Help FBI Unlock iPhone

    Rack mounting question....

    Question on Patch Panel setup?

    Well I guess doing the math, since the separate hinge is $35 extra, and going up from a 24 to 48 port patch panel is only $25, I guess it makes more sense to just go up to a 48 port patch panel then, considering my switch is only 24 port...I guess it doesn't hurt anything, future proofing eh :)
