    Swamp cooler question

    Some folks live where swamp cooling is the primary home cooling method (I did, for 14 years). It'll be fine.

    Californian Cops Outfit Tesla Model S as Future-Friendly Police Cruiser

    Folks should try reading the press releases... The car will be used for neighborhood patrols, and is a pilot program. The solar panels were installed prior to September 2015 as part of a regional effort called R-REP...

    "Total War: Rome II" Developers on Female Generals: "Don’t Like It? Don’t Play It"

    It seems like they did just make some changes without really publicizing them. Then, some of the community flipped out, which prompted this reply.

    "Total War: Rome II" Developers on Female Generals: "Don’t Like It? Don’t Play It"

    What is it you're babbling about? "Soy eating protestors"? Do you read what you wrote before clicking "Post Reply"?

    "Total War: Rome II" Developers on Female Generals: "Don’t Like It? Don’t Play It"

    The game came out five years ago. If you were going to spend money on it, I think you would have already.

    30 Minutes of Internet Access Costs Vacationing Family $13,470

    The sorry isn't incorrect. What's incorrect is the summary on HardOCP. The article says nothing about airplane mode not disabling data (in fact, it says it does). What it does say is apps that don't require data to work still use it in the background sometimes such as to deliver ads, which is...

    Your 1440p Monitor Could Be Using a 4K Panel

    Do you even realize what website you're on? https://m.hardocp.com/article/2018/06/06/state_decay_2_video_card_performance_review/4 Look at that, a game that can be played fully maxed out on a single GPU in 4K. And the review is from this month.

    Apple’s Phil Schiller Explains Why Valve’s Steam Link App Was Rejected

    Just fact checking for you. The iPhone 4 was released in summer 2010, a few weeks before the Droid X (this was before Apple switched to fall releases). It was the first to not be carrier exclusive. The 4s wasn't released until Fall 2011; though I don't recall it being heavily rumored (they're...

    Overwatch League Pro Suspended for Homophobic Insult against Opponent

    The amount of Neanderthal-like behavior in this thread is staggering. I've got news for you guys, the Neanderthals died out. You're the outcasts of the outcasts and your time has come. Get over yourselves. And seriously, "I hate peas"? Why don't you "act like a man" and say what you mean...

    APKWS or Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System - OOORAH!

    You understand the rockets themselves are passive detectors right? I don't think ISIS is running around in the field placing spectrum analyzers and laser detectors at every surface of their HVTs in order to determine if anyone is shining a laser on it and what PRF it might be.

    The iPhone 7 Has Arbitrary Software Locks That Prevent Repair

    Ghost In The Shell Official Trailer

    I saw this on the Thursday evening before opening, first showing near our hotel in Dallas. I've never seen the original. I enjoyed this movie. It was t the greatest but it was fine. It was somewhat telling to me that the theater had less than ten people in it for the first showing in a major...

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

    Well, I'll tell you what...I have the exact same situation with my 6700K. No matter what I do it will not be stable above 4.7 GHz. At 4.7 GHz I can throw anything at it and it does just fine; at 4.8 GHz it fails. Depending on voltage it'll boot, but it'll always freeze in any benchmark...

    Star Citizen Switching To Amazon's Lumberyard Game Engine

    Here's the thing. Back in the day we'd have heard about this game as a sentence in a magazine article/interview ("working on something really neat," etc.). There would've been rumors for months to years and eventually a full page ad buy and then an article. And then it would've come out...

    NVIDIA GeForce Game Ready 376.33 WHQL Drivers

    It's a death knell dude, not a "death bell". Personally, SLI/Crossfire can't die fast enough. Developer support just isn't there like it used to be and it honestly was never *that* great. After my attempt at it in the GTX770 error I'll never try it again. Top consumer card or bust.

    AMD Named A Best Place To Work For LGBT Equality

    What you all seem to fail to grasp is that in this any many other countries there are still places where a person can be fired simply for being LGBTQ+. Imagine if you could be fired for wearing glasses, or being hard of hearing, or being a smoker, or being unable to lift 20 lbs. Just imagine...

    What got you into PCs and PC gaming? What year and why?

    There was always a computer in my house. We started off with what I remember being some Commodore or Amiga variant (that took what looked like SNES cartridges, though those wouldn't exist for a number of years) on which I played Q-bert and also dabbled in a paint program. Later we moved into...

    AMD & NVIDIA GPU VR Performance: H3VR @ [H]

    Value = Performance / $. Zero Performance / $1 = Zero Value. So, that doesn't really make sense either. Also, why wouldn't the 1080 be rated above the Titan X if this were true? The 1080 costs a little more than half what the Titan X costs and provides >90% the performance of the Titan X in...

    AMD & NVIDIA GPU VR Performance: H3VR @ [H]

    So with the current disastrous state of RX 480 performance in VR, why is it still being ranked above the R9 Fury X in the chart at the ends of these evaluations? The 480 is worse in all performance metrics; yes, it is cheaper, but if it's broken, that's completely irrelevant.

    GPU Mod Gone Horribly Wrong

    There is just no excuse for this. I did a quick search and EVGA uses 12 layer boards for their 980Ti Kingpin; typical 980Tis are probably 8 or 10 layer boards. How anyone ever thought this was a good idea I will never in a million years begin to understand. I wonder if the OP has speedholes...

    Win 10 posts are way down? Any ideas WHY?

    I'm running 10 on two computers now, my sig desktop and the new laptop I just got primarily for car tuning. I had installed it on my desktop right after it came out but with SLI being completely hosed up I rolled back almost immediately. However, I started having all kinds of wacky permissions...

    Windows Turns 30 Today

    I was five and a half. We had a Commodore and an Atari 2600. Eventually we had a Macintosh SE and then various other Macs and finally PCs. I don't remember my first exposure to Windows but I certainly wasn't using it at the beginning.

    WB: Arkham Knight’s PC Version Is Unfixable

    There are bugs but they don't believe they'll recoup enough profit to warrant fixing them. This, to the company, means it's unfixable. These companies aren't your friend - they're out to make a profit, plain and simple.
