    NHTSA Stops Autonomous School Bus Company from Transporting Children to School

    Babcock Ranch is a closed community that has been built to be "The town of the Future". Kind of like paying to live in a lame version of tomorrow land.

    Hardware Unboxed Analyzes Intel's Commissioned Core i9-9900K Benchmarks

    This probably has more to do with encouraging investors on Wall Street than it is about misleading people building gaming machines.

    Cryptojacking Attack Hits Water Utility in Europe

    It is fine if the managers are just managers, as long as they hire IT staff that they trust can depend on to handle the IT workload and actually let them do their job. Too often the Manager knows nothing of the systems he/she is in charge of and then dictates (micromanage) to the actual IT staff...

    Marvel's The Punisher: Official Trailer 2

    Iron fist just sucks, DareDevil season 1 mostly sucked. Luke Cage had some good moments but mostly sucked. I enjoyed Jessica Jones and Dare Devil season 2. The defenders was not all bad but not all good either.

    Farmers get Cornholed by DRM Software

    I live around a lot of agricultural areas and I have not seen many John Deere in many years other than the lawn tractors at Home Depot. Mostly I see Kubota and New Holland. My city used to use John Deere 10 yrs ago but all their tractor rolling stock is New Holland now. Maybe John Deere is more...

    LinusTechTips Ryzen 1800X Review

    I wish I had a ryzen in my workstation at work, but at home it is mostly gaming at 1080p. I really want to go AMD on my next build. Not being able to run the memory at full advertised speed and lack of core clock seems to really kill the performance of this chip. really hurts this chip.

    Scientists Create An Android-Powered Artificial Pancreas

    I have been a type 1 diabetic for 36 years and and currently us a wireless pump and a Continuous Glucose Monitor. I carry separate device to control each. The wireless pump uses a proprietary wireless signal that only has a range of 30-40 inches. I think this is a good call for the pump as it...

    What It’s Like to Work On a Video Game Flop

    I have to agree, the market has to be saturated with the required labor or the business practice would be unsustainable. No matter how distasteful the practice is, it will continue until the game developers cannot replace the lost workers with cheaper labor.

    Holdouts Of The Social Media Age

    Why I’m Dumping Google Chrome

    Honestly, all the big three browsers have issues. IE 11 just crashes all the time, Firefox is a sluggish browser now that won't even give you the option to open a page with SHA-1 SSLs, Chrome is not buggy for me, but they are dropping NPAPI support. This is not a big deal to most, but it means...

    Amazon’s First Ever Prime Day Breaks Global Records

    I got a pack of baby wipes, yea!. It did pressure Walmart into a big sale as well and I found some good deals on things. Neither sale was filled with electronic deals. I for one still like amazon's prime service as it is very convenient and their return policy is fantastic. Yes, their sales...

    Windows Server 2003 End of Support Looms

    I recently migrated my domain to server 2012. It was a little weird at first but I do like server 2012. Running all VMs makes the transition less costly as one license is good for 1 physical or 2 VMs.

    Cricket wireless or something else?

    My wife and I have been using Republic wireless for awhile now and are very happy with them. There service is not for the hard core phone users, but for casual users it is great.

    Could You Fall in Love with Your Computer?

    Hardware progression is not really the issue here, it is if software will ever be able to "feel" or choose based on desire. Even IBM's Watson just runs through a series of simple logic test until it finds the most probable answer to the question asked. Even the best AI we have now cannot be...

    Gigabyte R9 290 Windforce on Newegg

    I think many of you guys make too big of a deal about the noise on the reference 290s. I have an xfx 290 in my computer right now and it is not that loud. Of course I have other fans running as well. the ref cooler set to run at 55% in a case with other fans under my desk and I can't pick the...

    Trustworthy GPU manufacturer

    I have had several Sapphire cards over the years and they were all good cards but recently bought a sapphire 290 BF4 edition and got fucked out of my game key. So I returned it to newegg and bought an xfx 290. My temps are slightly lower on the GPU and VRMs with the xfx card than the sapphire...

    4 Weeks with Radeon R9 290X CrossFire @ [H]

    I had a Sapphire 290 non x, that I returned due to BF4 licensing issue, and now have an XFX 290 non x. Neither one gets very loud imho. They are far from quit, but I cannot hear them over my other case fans until I manually set the fan to 60% or higher. Now at a true 100% fan RPM, the fan is...

    The Gaming PC That Costs $13,000

    Dell and other PC makers have a very low margin on most PC/laptops, that is why they always try to sell you extended warranties, cables, printer and ink. Those things have 30-50% margins. Most computers and cell phone markets are so competitive that you usually only get 1-5% margin, or even a...

    Tesla Demos 90 Second Battery Swap

    First Look At Windows 8.1
