    "Captain Marvel" Trolled the Trolls with a $455M Global Launch

    I feel the same. Just having a story which is 100% what the author intends is the best form of storytelling. You don't have a heap of producers directors and actors wanting to change things. I also feel the same with video games, way too many people putting their fingers into the pie. Also...

    Tesla Owner Credits Autopilot Feature for Saving His Life

    I dont think the tesla swerving like it did so close to a barrier is the best move for it. I dont think the car knows the conditions of tyre wear, potholes nor the condition of that section of road with all the drains in it. I have always been taught never to swerve like that when an obstacle...

    Here are AMD's Radeon VII Benchmarks

    Am I wrong in thinking this card is inefficient with its 300W TDP? The 1080 Ti which it is somewhat similar to is only about 250W if im not mistaken. I would of thought 7nm would of got the power draw down or is AMD just clocking this high to compete?

    Bungie Inks Deal to Leave Activision While Maintaining Control of Destiny

    Interesting. I would of thought that Activision would of fought hard to keep them under their banner as they seem to have quiet 2019 coming up. All they have to my knowledge is CoD and Sekiro (which has been fairly quiet on marketing) as big titles this year. Blizzard with their issues and...

    Vitaminwater Offers $100K to Quit Smartphones for a Year

    Its not as easy as you may think. A few years ago I broke my phone and just decided to get a Nokia 520 since it was $20. Although its a smartphone being able to take photos when needed is extremely useful (I my car got rear ended at a set of lights and I couldn't take any photos in the dark and...

    Valve's Latest Game, Artifact, Has Lost 60% of Players in Its First Week

    I dont think its the just the microtransactions, the games are just too long and the mechanics have a massive learning curve heck im still confused with how some cards decide to attack each other. Theres also just so much waiting around with the 3 boards for people to play their move, when my...

    Australia Passes World's First Anti Encryption Law

    One thing that people need to realise is that in Australia there are a lot of people here that either do not understand what they are giving up and are willing to sacrifice a lot of privacy just to be "safe". Its just a different mentality of the people, more people seem to trust authority here...

    The Mortal Kombat 11 Official Announce Trailer

    I couldnt really tell but is it set in the future like the last game? With Shao Khan I assume it might but they had new and old Scorpion there. I really hope it goes back to the old timeline as I really wasnt a fan of any of the new characters in the last game. I dropped it pretty quickly...

    YouTube is Showing Twice as Many "Pre-Roll" Ads Now

    Yeah Im getting that with youtube on my mibox and apple tv. I get a lot of unskippable 5-10 minute ads during a session which is really putting me off the service. Ive updated my pihole and tried the adguard DNS which some people have had success with but its no different. Ive read that they are...

    Shadow of the Tomb Raider Is Getting Review Bombed on Steam Because It's on Sale

    I bought it at full price and am quite disappointed. Story was poor, not really any new interesting mechanics even though there very little combat, puzzles were fairly straight forward (there was one where I got stuck moving mirrors and light around and thats about it) and so many swimming...

    Netflix Pulls the Plug on Marvel’s "Luke Cage"

    In my opinion all of them have been 3-4 episodes too long or maybe the episodes need to be 40 mins rather than 60. How many times did Killgrave escape after being caught by Jessica, how many times did Luke and Diamondback square off before they finally decided that this is the final battle...

    Tesla Manufactured 80,000 Vehicles in Q3

    Was this article ever debunked? I dont follow Tesla that closely anymore since its just way too hard to know which side to believe. https://www.businessinsider.com.au/tesla-hit-model-3-target-by-reworking-thousands-of-cars-2018-8?r=US&IR=T If they have increased production I really hope they...

    Google Allows Apps to Scan Gmail Accounts and Freely Share Data with Others

    Most alternatives are pretty awful and just as bad as google. The three good alternatives that are popular are posteo, protonmail and tutanota. The big issue I have with these is trying to give your email address over the phone, I have a name that everyone gets the spelling wrong so I just...

    The Year Windows Died at Home and Nobody Cared

    The writing is on the wall imo. Its not going to die off now or anytime soon it might take another 10-20 years. There is a generation of kids now who are just using ipads and phones, I was shocked when my friends kid couldnt use a keyboard at all. Once this generation hits the workforce I think...

    Bethesda Blocks Resale of Used Game

    I can see where Bethesda is coming from with this and as someone who has been stung by buying a stolen phone which was advertised as "new" For all Bethesda knows the game could of been stolen or repackaged but on the otherhand this happens all the time especially on ebay and with other...

    Google's Dirty Gmail Secret

    Is there any alternate to gmail that has a simple easy to understand name? I have enough trouble trying to spell out my first name to call centres the other side of the world. I can imagine spelling out posteo or tutanota over the phone will be painful. While I appreciate protonmails...
