    Own an Android Phone? You Might Not Get That Loan

    IPhone user probably has an $16 per slice avocado toast shop that sells to $100,000 in debt millennial students. Which is *exactly* the type of customer the banks want. People that make wage slaves out of other people, and reliant on banks to survive day to day. Seriously, its pure logic -...

    Own an Android Phone? You Might Not Get That Loan

    Cause or effect? IPhone user might be more likely to make money by scribbling a few lines in a paint program and selling it for millions. IPhone buyer might be more likely to spend 5 days producing 3 gourmet KitKat. Banks reward those that make money firstly, not really based on *how* they...

    Civilization VI is DX12.

    Civ IV was the best. All it really needed was hexagonal movement and it would have been perfect.

    54Mbps Router From 2005 Still Makes Millions For Linksys

    Best router ever. DD-WRT is still useful for me to see realtime wireless usage and whether or not I'm hitting my monthly data cap. What is the actual real-life speed of wireless networks ? I've also got an old 310N, which along with DD-WRT is pretty damn solid. Truth be known, it gets about...

    Logitech G Introduces Its Best Gaming Mouse Yet

    Bah, I've got a desk with one of those keyboard trays under the main part of the desk. Ghetto mod: Take a breadloaf tab an sticky it under the desk holding the cable, along with a bit of slack. Wireless is never lag free, its why the current generation VR headsets are wired. Besides, I've...

    Logitech G Introduces Its Best Gaming Mouse Yet

    Been using a wired MX518 for almost a decade. Exactly what is wrong with a cord? That way you can be assured that its not getting any performance loss because someone started up some microwave popcorn. Have this mouse with a cord, give me the money back on the difference of a battery, and I...

    Intel Officially Kills “Tick-Tock”

    Silicon = 27% of the earths crust. Refined Germanium = 21x rarer than refined Gold. You bet their asses they better slow down if they have to change materials to shrink beyond 10nm.

    Why 78 Percent Of Laptop Screens Suck

    I think one of the reasons they use ultra high resolution phone screens is that they assume you might want to use it as a cardboard VR box. Thing is... My vision, along with many peoples is absolute crap at that viewing distance. Take a newspaper and bring it up to the distance that a VR...

    Why 78 Percent Of Laptop Screens Suck

    And just a side note: 1360 x 768 sometimes runs a lot better than 1366 x 768, Civilization IV being notable. I think it has to do something with 8x8 pixel scaling

    Why 78 Percent Of Laptop Screens Suck

    1366x768 is useful for those who do some legacy gaming and/or don't buy a high end i7 or a dedicated GPU laptop. That is, you can easily run 1024x768 res (which nearly every game made in the last two decades supports) with black bars and have no scaling issues. That and when playing games...

    Why 78 Percent Of Laptop Screens Suck

    I must be in a minority, but I think its allright. My main desktop is a 55" HDTV @ 1080p60 and has been for over five years. Would I notice 1080p over 768 in a 14" laptop screen, while sitting at the exact same distance away? Not really, because that's what I have right now. I even went...
