Don't care which, I just want something that will last a few years without needing a serious upgrade. I *think* my Win10 key is retail but I'll have to check. Worst case, I can probably get my hands on Win10 or Win11 no problem.

So long story short, I'm running quite the antiquated system that just called it quits today. The newest addition to it is a GTX 1070 I bought back in 2016, while everything else is probably encroaching on the ten year mark based on my order history at NewEgg. As the subject says, I'm looking...

Yeah, that's way outside my price range. Not that the interest isn't there mind you, but I'd feel a little out of sorts pairing a $900 subwoofer to $120 speakers. I was strongly considering that Monoprice sub. Still am. That board though does look like it'd fit the bill. How would I go...

So I recently purchased a set of Edifier R1280Ts, and as it has a sub out, I am interested in hooking this up to my sub. The issue? I think I need a powered sub amplifier and I have no idea what ones are good. Long story short: I have the subwoofer from my previous Klipsch Promedia 2.1's. The...

So straight to the point: what made you switch? From Android to iOS or vice versa. I'd genuinely like to know. Storytime: As much as I hate to admit it, I don't look forward to owning a new Android phone as much as I used to in days past. Currently have a Pixel 4 XL. I'm content with it, but I...

Sorry if this question has been asked before. Nothing relevant came up in the searches I did. Is there any site that really puts laptops through the gauntlet like [H] did? There's a couple sites I did find but the articles are frustrating to read. There's really no set way they review the...

They're probably cooking that plan up as we speak, if they aren't already quietly rolling it out.

Because loyalists will always apologize for a company that couldn't care less about them as long as they keep feeding them money. All of the features were reviewed. Nvidia got their panties in a twist for being called out on their shortcomings. They don't like to be seen as anything but the...

Nvidia just makes it easier for me to buy an AMD product every time they do something like this. I get that free hardware to be reviewed is a privilege. However, I think it's unreasonable to request a skewed/favorable review in exchange, especially for something as niche as this, and especially...

I'm on Sprint. Been one for about 15 years or so now. My wife is an iPhone user and currently has the iPhone X. She's looking to upgrade to a new iPhone due to the battery finally showing its age, but before we make that move, she wants me to look into something regarding voicemail. Back in...

MSI already burned me with a laptop I bought for my wife so she could play games. The connector on the back for the power brick has a super shoddy connection to the board, so it doesn't always charge unless the cable is held *just* right, and eventually once you hit that point, it stops charging...

Wound up getting it all from Dell. I was literally a second too late for the TMX on Amazon when it listed for $178. Oddly enough I forgot about that. Didn't think there'd be such a huge jump in demand on a niche accessory, though. If I were more dedicated to driving simulators I'd do that...

Apparently the G920 has gone the way of the dodo already. I can't find anybody selling it close to its $399 MSRP. Price gouging starts at $650. Edit: There are some on eBay but even then the pricing is up there. Ugh.

I'm in the market for a racing wheel. Looking for something with 3 pedals and can do PC and XB1 at the very least. I don't need next best thing to driving the real deal, but I'd at least like something worth the bells and whistles and reasonably close. Primarily going to use this for...

So the tech swung by today, and after going over everything I did, he decided to check the outside lines since I ruled out everything up to the splitter. The cable going from the pole to my house was pretty damaged. The insulation was torn up and the aluminum shielding was torn apart on the...

So in an effort to get this looked at by someone who's actually paid to fix this crap, I got on Xfinity Chat. Managed to skip the usual crap (for a bit) by letting them know what all I already did. They did their button pressing on their end, I did the speed testings, they fixed some stuff...

I was thinking I was about to be in the same boat here, but at this point I think I can rule out the router.

Ugh. Back to square one. I'm thinking it wasn't the cable, just a fluke. Random tests on speeds all day were atrocious, barely hitting double digits at all on download. Upload has not been impacted whatsoever. So I put the cable I originally thought was bad, back on. Tried swapping out the...

Well, I certainly feel foolish. I should have started with the cables! As far as I can tell now, it was not my router at all, but a bad coaxial cable going from the modem to the splitter. Odd, considering this is the newest cable I have. It's trash now, I guess. Decided to try an actual...

Long story short, I'm wondering if my router is going bad, at least on the wireless side, or if it's something else. Current router setup: Internet -> Arris SB6190 modem -> Netgear R7000 -> All networked devices Networked devices: 1 PC - wired 1 Xbox - wired 1 Xbox wireless 1 tablet 2 phones 1...

No ads, no sneaky bullshit, constantly updated content, and if you forget to use private tabs, no one questions why you were on Tumblr as it's not a site really associated with NSFW content. Only someone in the know would actually question why you're looking at it.

Didn't you know? Cell towers used to just distribute cells exclusively! Now they transmit wireless frequencies as well! Didn't get the memo on that I take it?

Blaming customers for your failures to provide them a product or service that meets their expectations are signs that you have no idea what your customers want in the first place.

Some stuff looks better but some actually looks worse to me. I dunno if it's Youtube compression or what, but to me it seemed like the faces of people seemed less "real'. I mean I get they're wearing makeup and mask/prosthetic materials, but some of them didn't seem to be as detailed.

Staying on 7. Win10 offers zero incentive for me to use it. The latest and greatest DirectX? Don't care. Other than my 1070 and a couple SSDs, none of my hardware is 'current' or was made with win10 or future DX releases in mind. I have win10 set as part of my dual boot. I haven't fired it...

1. Every Bezos needs fellow current-schlubs for a workforce, and millions more as customers. If the schlubs can't afford to be customers, or feel that Bezos isn't offering what they need, a Bezos goes back to being a schlub. If it doesn't pay to be a Bezos-schlub, people will eventually find...

You mean, making people pay $60 for a base game, then charging people for DAY ONE DLC content, or making them pony up for a season pass (which by the way, does not guarantee there will ever be enough DLC content to warrant its price) isn't sustainable? Because those same people will just wait...

Fuck him. Give him the damn chair. Whether you shock him until he's charred meat, or you beat him to death with one, I don't care. Someone died because he thought it'd be funny to put someone in a life or death situation that didn't need to happen.

Fine them 20 million dollars for every infraction of throttling, per device. Watch the infrastructure become 10x better than what it needs to be before the year is out.

Cloud gaming can fuck off. We can barely handle the latency issue NOW on dedicated servers. Cloud based gaming is going to move like RealPlayer could stream.

If you aren't factory resetting your phone before handing it off to someone you know is going to have access to all your shit on it, you are at their mercy, period.

When you stop giving people a reason to upgrade, people start looking at their options.

The 2016 film flopped because it was a political agenda being shoehorned into a form of entertainment, while hoping to ride the coat-tails of nostalgia. It was a shitty cash grab trying to cash in on a shitty political climate. When catering to a political agenda is the focal point instead of...

So nobody in California uses a thermal printer with thermal paper?

As long as caps and throttling exist, this will never be a thing here in the US.

A game platform is only as good as its game lineup. No killer games, don't expect it to do much.

Pardon my ignorance, but what exactly is this aimed at doing that you wouldn't do with something Intel or AMD based? I'm not really familiar with ARM. Is it a power consumption thing or is there more to it?

Ugh. Government vs. Shitty company battles always leave me torn on who to root for.

Get new EV coupes/sedans down to sub-$20K MSRP and you'll see adoption rate skyrocket in areas where electricity is relatively cheap, or reasonably priced solar can be had. As long as gas powered cars are cheaper to own, EV adoption rate is going to be slow. Both are becoming a pain in the ass...

Guess they need to quit dicking around and make HL3 already
