    New Solar Cells Offer the Chance to Print Out Solar Panels and Stick Them on Your Roof

    That's a real nice solar installation you've got there. Would be a shame if ANY WIND AT ALL were to happen to it. Especially on that particular roof going across the ridges like that instead of down the channels. I'm certain nothing at all could go wrong with providing as much surface area as...

    NordVPN: Why the False Allegations are Wrong

    It's a really huge leap if using OpenVPN or IKEv2/IPsec. Using either of those, you're not using an app from the VPN provider, it's either a crossplatform opensource gpl'd thingy (OpenVPN), or a built in to almost every operating system VPN Protocol (IKEv2/IPsec) ...so unless there's some...

    NordVPN: Why the False Allegations are Wrong

    So the logging thing is I guess a theoretical possibility (and is such with any VPN that you don't personally control, that's just a matter of trust), but the other accusation just seems dumb... Hola only works via an app cause it's a kinda sketchy P2P thing, while Nord offers OpenVPN or...

    2017: The Biggest Decline in Pay Television Subscriptions Ever

    Of course, when you look at these numbers, keep in mind that the third quarter had a few bits of completely minor inclement weather (I think they called them Irma and Harvey) that might have driven large chunks of cable subscribers into temporary residences.

    General Motors Executive Says Elon Musk’s Self-Driving Claims Are “Full of Crap”

    Anyone that says that fully autonomous car stuff can't be done with just cameras (and radar) is bullshitting. GM apparently forgets that our current method of (mostly) safe driving relies on basically nothing more advanced than two cameras on a bobble head and a pair of microphones. The...

    AMD Ryzen Threadripper Specs and Pricing Officially Revealed

    And you still get the full quad channel ram with all 8 slots still working. Probably why they're not getting flack over that.

    OnePlus 5’s Display Is Inverted, Causes “Jelly Scrolling”

    Interestingly, 180 rotation used to be an available option prior to Kitkat. You can still give upside down it a try if you download an app like Set Orientation.

    Scythe Mugen 5 CPU Air Cooler Review @ [H]

    They are, technically. The way they currently do their reviews they only display the top 19 products they've ever reviewed, the current product being reviewed, and the stock cooler. Each section (stock speed, oc speed, and noise) are ordered separately, so it's possible for a cooler to be...

    Erica, the Most Autonomous Humanoid Robot on Earth

    After watching this video, I'm a bit torn. On the one hand, it is way better than some of the old Disney animatronics. But the movements and speech are still clearly off... but... I dunno, it's not quite twinging that uncanny valley. It's better than Bioware's recent efforts soooo

    IBM and VISA Want Automatic Payments for Usage and Potential Repairs

    Before you get your paranoia engine going, you might want to re-read a bit of that article. "Out on the road, the connected car alerts drivers when it needs a fan belt or other parts. The driver pushes a button in the vehicle to order and pay for the part, and to arrange a service appointment...

    7600K Naked Die Cooling Temperature Follow-Up @ [H]

    If you just want better temps and are willing to risk it, then yeah. See http://www.hardocp.com/article/2017/02/02/intel_kaby_lake_i57600k_cpu_delid_relid_temp_results, Kyle used some NT-H1 paste before using the liquid metal. 6 degrees better than stock on average.

    Intel Kaby Lake i7-7700K CPU De-Lid & Re-Lid Results @ [H]

    I don't mind watching Linus as entertainment, he's a funny guy. But his methods are a bit questionable, which leaves the results... also a bit questionable. Plus stock fan so there's only so much improvement you can get with that. Just for giggles, I checked to see if anyone had replaced the...

    AMD Presents New Horizon

    Dota2 was running smooth on the 6700K. They swung the camera around and showed the players screen and it was aok, the monitor behind the player was displaying the player's stream, and it was the stream itself that was unable to keep up with the load. (Upper left is the stream, lower middle...

    AMD Presents New Horizon

    X58 Hi Five. Though my I7-920 @ 3.2GHz doesn't quite hold up as well as that Xeon you're sporting, at 2:30:38 it ain't too bad... (compared to at least one other run I've seen)... but this has convinced me it's finally time to throw this box out the window as soon as price war begins.

    Tesla On Autopilot Crashes Into Bus

    Hey Steve, might want to recheck that article. "It" in that quote was the Danish tour bus that was "returning to the inside lane after overtaking", not the Tesla.

    Fury X vs. Titan X benchmark

    They've got another article (http://wccftech.com/unlock-memory-overclocking-amd-r9-fury/) posted yesterday, indicating that the memory can be overclocked with some third party software, and they've got links to third parties with benches and details.

    ASUS ROG Poseidon GTX 980 Platinum Video Card Review @ [H]

    Dunno if the price dropped overnight or what, but that Sapphire can be had for 339 aft rebate over at newegg, a far cry from 400. Edit:Ninja'd... To add to the post though, for maximum performance from this 980 you've also got to factor in the price of the water cooling system you're going to...

    PC Power & Cooling Silencer Mk III 750W PSU Review @ [H]

    Either the graphic or the summary for the 80Plus testing is wrong. The graphic shows it being ~85%-88%-84% efficient, the summary says it is 87.71%-90.33%-87.31%.

    Batman Arkham Origins PhysX Demo

    Most annoying thing with these damn fog demos... http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=op4S1CRK10A#t=118 This is from six years ago. And in this demo it's just an after thought, hey, we've got soft particles... oh and they react to physics stuff too, whatever. Actually...

    CEO Says Hackers Tried to Extort Data, Money

    I remember seeing this a few days ago. Looks like a standard response whether it was simple CYA coming from the hacked, or if they really were trying to extort him. Of course, LulzSec claims they were just stringing him along, and that he solicited them to attack his competitors. The...

    You Fade To Light

    As I remember first seeing a system very much like this the first time I went to the Childrens museum in or around Nashville TN. That was almost 20 years ago. Obviously, now they're using Oleds, but I just don't see a signifigant leap from an art perspective.

    ATI Radeon HD 4870 1GB GDDR5 @ [H]

    To make your question/point stronger, over this last weekend the 512 was as low as $225 at Best Buy.

    ATI Radeon 4870X2 Review - Microstuttering

    I only call BS because I can't imagine getting Half-Life 2 running at framerates lower than 40 on one of these cards... unless he's pairing the card with a 386 processor.

    AMD Radeon HD 4800 Series @ [H]

    I noticed in the Crysis portion of the review, the summary says this: While the tables above indicate that the 4850 is running on High physics compared to the 9800GTX running Medium. Not a huge difference, but that would indicate the 4850's surpassing the experience of the 9800GTX.

    AVADirect HTPC @ [H] Consumer

    So... wait. Let me get this straight. The reviewer's audio receiver had coax S/PDIF input. Your ordered configuration had coax S/PDIF output. The reviewer gripped about a lack of optical S/PDIF output AND went out and bought a coax to optical converter instead of just hooking it up?

    AVADirect HTPC @ [H] Consumer

    They do offer sound cards (and other motherboards) with optical out. I'd blame this mostly on the choice of a Creative X-Fi without it's addon expansion unit (since you decided to get a X-Fi in an HTPC anyway...:confused: ) Now I do understand the motherboard was, of course, not the one you...
