    Have you ever wondered if video games have a negative impact on your life?

    Not eating for a day and staying up to 2am doesn't make you shaky and vomit. What was the rest of the story? Had you not had anything to drink for 48 hours? Because that's a whole different universe from simply not eating.

    Have you ever wondered if video games have a negative impact on your life?

    No. Whatever video games may do or be in terms of an addiction, it's not in the same universe as cigs, weed, drugs, alcohol, rampant sex and STDs, or gambling in terms of life destruction. A hundred years ago you could have been addicted to wasting time playing solitaire with a deck of cards...

    Upgrade for my mom

    It looks good it's not as big as the camera makes it look. But a udm pro SE would have done the same thing and had integration for cameras and door access in the future and have been only one device.

    My first AMD Graphics Card since the R9 290X - My Gigabyte RX 9070 XT Gaming OC experience

    Yeah bring up the RAM 100mhz, undervolt -25mv or -50mv to start with and the card will clock up on it's own. You may or may not want to bring the power limit up, but I don't recommend maxing it. You may get better results at only around +5%. Resizable BAR being on or not is a motherboard...

    [DEAD] HOT $629 GIGABYTE Radeon RX 9070 XT Gaming OC

    The thermal gel thing was only on the first month or two of cards after launch but it made a lot of news that just wouldn't go away. They fixed it and it's one of the better cooling cards with a good vapor chamber. I took mine apart that I got April last year just in case to see if it was the...

    Playstation single player games will no longer be ported to PC

    This won't stand up for long. The games will always get ported to PC eventually as said above its free money after a couple years of exclusive. More like they're leaning on their brand power to generate fomo in their usual customers to buy the next console. Then a year and a half after the...

    Micron Begins Sampling of 256 GB DDR5 9200 MT/s

    No kidding talk about rubbing everyone's nose in it. Nice Micron. The question is who actually gives a crap? Parts that only a tiny number of systems engineers and purchasing agents will ever buy. Nothing but data center product news releases to the general public because no one has anything...

    MARATHON (Bungie)

    I think another question is how many aaa pvp games can the market support? There's a limit to the player base for sweaty pvp. Always has been. There's hundreds of choices out there now. I was honestly surprised Deadlock didn't explode way way bigger than it has and I think it's shooter...

    RTX 5xxx / RX 8xxx speculation

    They were only saying they were still in business and are "working" on next gen cards. Nothing about release date. It won't be this year and maybe not even next with the current state of things. It was them saying "were alive" not hinting at release dates. Yes in the early days cards...

    Upgrade to oled

    Burn in isn't what is going to take my screen out, it's the dead pixels along the edges of the screen creeping in. Oxidation creeping in from failing sealing along the edges is what im reading it probably is? With just basic care I've had little to no burn in over the last 5.5 years using the...

    This Early Access pirate game was quietly killing your SSD without you knowing

    It's not a hard rule and older Samsung drives tended to hold up far better under high write losds but years ago those Samsung drives could also have been 30-50% more expensive so they were far from the most common choice for home end users. Most people didn't assume they'd be super high write...

    This Early Access pirate game was quietly killing your SSD without you knowing

    I was just writing something about that. I've seen other sites comment sections where people say it's no big deal. They don't get what the real world endurance is like. Especially on an older sata SDD from 5+ years ago. The 256 and 512GB drives get pretty worn down and iffy after about...

    NVIDIA To Bring Back The GeForce RTX 3060 In Q1 2026 To Tackle Current-Gen GPU & Memory Shortages

    Newegg's got Onix B580 cards in stock for $290. From what I hear they're ok. You can get a 9060xt for $340 on Amazon. That's a little higher than I remember them recently, but that's everything these days. It's going to be interesting. If the 3060 12GB is... I don't know... the same price...

    NVIDIA To Bring Back The GeForce RTX 3060 In Q1 2026 To Tackle Current-Gen GPU & Memory Shortages

    These cards launched Feb 2021. 1) Are they relevant against anything newer like the 12GB B580 and 8GB 9060XT that will likely be in the same price range? 2) By re releasing these now, does the clock start over on driver support? Will Nvidia commit to another 5 years of drivers at least before...

    LG 48CX

    Yeah I'm with you there. I think next time around I'll still end up OLED because it's hard to go back. But OLED tech was light years ahead of everything else 6 years ago. Now it's mature and I think I can happily pick a model well under $1000 and be totally satisfied which makes the cost of...

    LG 48CX

    If it makes it to the end of the year that will be 6 years. That's kinda unfortunate but I went in eyes open. I've enjoyed the hell out of thus thing and currently it's minor and I can't see the pixels from sitting distance yet but next screen I will be doing some deeper research into what...

    LG 48CX

    Well guys, there they are. 9611 hours later I've got some dead pixels forming along the top edge of the screen. I'm going to check how long my extended warranty is good for, but it's probably just barely out by now. It may go another year, but I suspect the problem will be extreme by then.

    Is Microsoft Fixing Windows 11 or Making It Worse?

    Just give it time on the activation. It may just activate in the next 24 hours on its own if nothing else changed. Windows has several methods of determining activation these days and all of it is a PITA.

    AMD Debuts Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 Powered by RDNA 4, and FSR 4

    Is Microsoft Fixing Windows 11 or Making It Worse?

    Well, that was graphic. But no, I don't agree there is any chance this is something shareholder sentiment can turn around. The issue of privacy and security is larger than that across the entire industry and across society. We can take a stand and not use products that abuse us, even if it...

    Upgrade to oled

    Youre going to get a religious war of opinions. I'll give a 30,000 foot overview: Contrast, color, speed, persistence, and HDR are all massively better on OLED compared to LCD. But, if text clarity for work is your primary and only use and metric for a monitor, maybe stick with the ips a...

    Is Microsoft Fixing Windows 11 or Making It Worse?

    Am I the only one not caring about new phones anymore?

    My last two have been oneplus they have each lasted many years and I've loved them BUT if I had to buy again today I'd be looking carefully to see if they are continuing in the US. I don't think oneplus is looking too healthy at the moment but I hope to be wrong. Almost any mid phone has...

    Linux gaming thread, what games are you currently playing?

    Playing Crimson Desert on Bazzite. I've got a grip on how to do Proton version switching if needed, which it rarely is outside of bleeding edge new games. It's actually extremely easy. Thr game runs fine with the current Proton versions from steam but with limited FSR only until the bleeding...

    Windows 11 23H2 to 25H2 Upgrade Allegedly Breaking Internet Connectivity

    Yes but the VMD mode thing is only a very recent excuse. A whole hell of a lot of laptops and desktops were set to RAID mode over the years before VMD ever existed. OEM shenanigans and a desire to turn on features to make the spec sheet look impressive.

    Is This Reasonable Price For 64GB DDR5?

    There were signs. The industry has already been moving toward all the major OS's and software packages as online services cloud or otherwise. Everyone has known it was coming for many years, it's just that we have arrived now. When things break, it's almost always with how these online cloud...

    Windows 11 23H2 to 25H2 Upgrade Allegedly Breaking Internet Connectivity

    Quite a few OEMs of desktops and laptops over the years produced certain models of desktops and laptops where for whatever reason they thought using the RAID mode by default was a good idea. I always did the same thing, set them back to AHCI and reinstall. Leaving them in RAID was always a...

    ARC Raiders by former EA exec Patrick Söderlund

    Intel To Offer AMD-Like Desktop Socket Longetivity, Supporting Multiple CPU Generations

    With the reports from Hynux yesterday that they think the ram shortage may go to 2030 now, this is more like Intel trying to make a move of necessity on their part look like they intentionally decided to do something consumer friendly. I wish I could believe they are doing this because AMD...
