    So weird, I just watched this last night.

    Years ago I baked an NVIDIA 7900 GT and it lasted two more years.

    Windows 10's next major update for 2021 codenamed Iron (Fe) 1-c

    It seems like from my own experiences in gaming on Linux distros, the games may "work" just fine, but the performance isn't there. At least not the buttery smooth performance I want. I'd ditch Windows 10 in a heartbeat if my games ran just as smooth on Linux as they do on Windows 10...

    Original Xbox's complete source code leaked online

    Didn't a hacker group called Xbox Underground steal this code years ago?

    280Hz IPS - Asus TUF Gaming

    I agree. I went from 1920x1200 at 60 hz to 2560x1440 at 144 (or OC to 165). I also bought and returned an Acer Predator 1920x1080 at 240 hz. While the experience on the 240 hz display was buttery smooth, the image quality was horrendous. It was not worth the reduction in quality to me. Now I'm...

    DOOM Eternal: The Final Preview

    Gosh, Doom 3 is honestly my least favorite of the series. It doesn’t even feel like Doom to me. I loved 2016, although I’ll never replay it as much as I did the originals when I was a kid. Doom and Doom II: Hell on Earth are still my most played Doom games. Heck, sometimes I still fire them up...

    Linux Gaming Is on a Life-Support System Called Steam

    Gaming on Linux has improved tremendously over the years. I’d say right now is the best I’ve ever seen it. Valve has taken great strides in improving playability on Linux. Lutris is also another fantastic platform for Linux gamers I’ve had great success with. My problem is no matter how many...

    Here Is the Resident Evil 2 - 4th Survivor Gameplay Trailer

    Looks about like Doom 3 from 2004... pass.

    AMD Releases Resident Evil 2 Recommended Settings

    I wanted to like this game. I was a huge fan of the original PS1 games (especially RE3) as well as a fan of the franchise in general. However, I tried the 30 minute demo on Steam. In my opinion, Leon runs like a 450 pound smoker with heart disease and a broken ankle.

    .Gov Security Falters during US Shutdown

    Why don't they have these configured to auto renew? Even my own little website auto renews certs.

    Tesla Will Cut Prices to Combat Tax Credit Phase Out

    I was driving in a large city last night on the interstate and the speed limit was 55... I was doing 65-70 and people were blowing my doors off. A guy in a black BMW went flying by me going 90+ Mph... I can see going 65 or so, but damn, it was dusk and this asshat was doing at least 90 with no...

    Los Angeles Alleges the Weather Channel App Deceptively Mined User Data for Profit

    That's exactly what I said when my step dad brought this up today at dinner. It's a "free" product, they're gonna make money somehow.

    I don’t see this gaining any traction on iOS. Do they expect people to jailbreak their phones??

    Microsoft Is Planning a New Family of 4K Webcams for 2019

    I showed my friend the difference between playing a PC game at 30 FPS and 60 FPS... He was upset afterwards, because now he only wants to game at 60 FPS. Once you feel the difference you can’t go back.

    Oh, I can absolutely see an enormous difference between them. If you can't, you probably need to get your eyes checked.

    FCC Votes to Classify Text Messaging as an Information Service

    I think spammers use the DNC as a list of potential victims. On my previous number I received very few robocalls... against my better judgement I decided to enter my number into the official DO NOT CALL website's database. Not long after that I started getting robocalls like crazy, spammers...

    Blockchain Storefront RobotCache Signs on 700 Games from 22 Publishers

    I don’t know if I trust these new startups. Who wants to buy a bunch of games only to have the storefront go defunct in a year or two? What protections do we have against that scenario? My guess is none. I’ve used Steam since it was in beta so my trust is pretty high with Valve. I don’t see...

    Finally, after ALL THESE YEARS, I received my $10.07 from the class action lawsuit against Sony for removing the "Other OS" option from the PS3. I vaguely remember participating in the lawsuit. Anyone else receive one of these??

    Activision: Destiny 2: Forsaken "Under-Performed," Core Player Base Hasn’t Reengaged

    I tried this game a long time ago when it went on sale for $18. It was really fun until I made it to a central hub area... and then I had no idea what to do. So I never played it again and eventually uninstalled it.

    Best gaming PC for under $550

    Wow, thank you all for the responses! I greatly appreciate it. *edit* So I finished reading all the responses. Thanks again! What I'm told is that she (my cousin) wants to get him all NEW parts, no refurbished or used parts. She's had bad luck with that sort of thing in the past. She does...

    Best gaming PC for under $550

    So my cousin just asked me to build a gaming PC for her son. Her budget is about $550. The lowest gaming budget PC build I've ever done before was for $767. I've got a build slapped together with an AMD APU on NewEgg for about $600, but I'm curious what you guys might recommend. I figure with a...

    AMD President and CEO Dr. Lisa Su to Keynote at CES 2019

    It’s good to see AMD doing well. I hope they can keep this up! AMD was in my first PC (which I still have out in the shed) and every system I’ve built since... I guess I’m sentimental.

    Metro Exodus: GeForce RTX Real-Time Ray Traced Global Illumination Demo

    RTX off looked better to me. Looks like with RTX on they just turned off some shadow effects which just made the image brighter or more washed out. I’m not impressed with the RTX technology at all. Also appeared to cause the frame rate to dip.

    Kodi Cryptomining Malware is Going Around

    A family friend of mine is an avid KODI user and preaches it up all the time. He showed us his setup and some of the videos and they looked awful. Just a bunch of cam footage from a movie theater with people walking in front of it and talking in the background. I guess it's just the thrill of...
