    Black Friday - Hulu/Max/Disney+/Paramount/Peacock Streaming Deals

    The one case where they’re not a deal breaker is Peacock. Those are all in the lead up to the movie/show and then the movie/show has no commercials. I don’t have Hulu/disney, but I’ve read they’re among the worse for ad supported services.

    "Star Trek: Discovery" Renewed for Season 3

    The first half of the final episode was great. The 2nd half was not. TNG's finale is still the best of the lot, but the series isn't a hair on the ass of DS9, which found it's footing after S1 and never slowed down. I wanted a theatrical release, but I can promise you there wasn't an audience...

    "Star Trek: Discovery" Renewed for Season 3

    What ratings? Streaming doesn't have ratings (and if you're talking about it airing on CBS, nobody was ever going to watch it there (including me) As for critics, Discovery has consistently been well regarded by critics. CBS aired it as a rerun. Not relevant. If they put DS9 (the best trek...

    "Star Trek: Discovery" Renewed for Season 3

    Grats. I liked DS9 too. I can promise you there was a ton of backlash against it. Don't believe me? Watch What we Left Behind. It was even worse than i remembered.

    "Star Trek: Discovery" Renewed for Season 3

    Perhaps, but while there are legit issues with individuals taking wokeness (aka political correctness) to ridiculous places, virtually every single person that mentions wokeness on H sounds like a sexist and/or homophobe (which has been rampant on this site since, at least, the Gamergate BS)...

    WD Easystore 14TB External USB 3.0 Hard Drive - $200

    can you bring in multiple devices and get extra coupons? I've got some ancient hard drives (some probalby that came out of a TIVO) that have no value to me...hell I think I even have some 90s SCSI drives somewhere around here...if I had a way to read them, I'd pull off my old college papers...

    WD Easystore 14TB External USB 3.0 Hard Drive - $200

    Well the beauty is if you don't need it right htis second, you can buy it now and if something better comes up, buy that and return these before the return date (which is sometime in January).

    Windows 11 available on October 5

    Mine did it by default (thanks to a bug that I"m sure has been subsequently fixed. I honestly don't care if it's a 4k Drive, since the only reason I'd buy one of those is if it made sense for backing stuff up, but I"m not sure it would. It's just easier to buy HD's and backup to those. But I...

    [H] Stock Alerts, Tips & Tears for Nvidia, AMD, Intel, PS5, XBOX

    I managed to grab a Ryzen 5600g from Best Buy today. I could have gone to Microcenter and gotten it, but I don't feel like driving and the elite points will get me dangerously close to a 45 day return period, which is great for price matching. FWIW, microcenter has them if you have one in your...

    Fractal Design R5 and R6 have 2 and 1, respectively. I store most of my data on my NAS, but the r5 has enough bays for me to put all my NAS drives in it'd and still have 2 empty bays, but my main case requirements are: be quiet and have 2 optical bays, though I could probably drop to 1 if I had...

    Windows 11 available on October 5

    I have 2 optical drives in my PC. One that I regularly use, and the other because it's capable of ripping my 4K disks to my NAS. There may be a day when i don't have an optical drive in a computer, but that day is more than 5 years off.

    Thousands of Playstation 5 consoles being stockpiled by Walmart

    Alas fuel prices are probably not going to go down much anytime soon, because, AFAICT, drillers are worried about over production driving prices down as they in 2009 and 2020 and OPEC isn't in a hurry to produce more barrels, so here we are. Fuel aside, covid has just screwed up the entire...

    Thousands of Playstation 5 consoles being stockpiled by Walmart

    Old info. Port of LB operates 24 hours/day at least 4 days/week. LA is working on moving to 24x7. That doesn't mean it's not an issue, but it's going away. What's more, both ports are now fining companies that don't pick up their containers within 9 days (if moving by truck), which seems very...

    Windows 11 available on October 5

    I'd give it a go, but they don't really support Skylake, so I'll just wait till I feel the need to upgrade my PC. The new PC I'm going to build for my parents will support it, but I'm not putting 11 on a system if I don't have 11 on my rig. Maybe in a year or 2 if I get the bug, but given that...

    Xbox Series S was available all day on 7/23 must have had a ton of stock come in (old post locked)

    The cart system that these stores use is stupid. FFS, if I have it in my cart, it should be mine for 5 minutes (longer if the site slows down). Best buy has an insane system where first you get in line...then you get an opportunity to buy it. Then you have to get a text or email with a code to...

    Xbox Series S was available all day on 7/23 must have had a ton of stock come in (old post locked)

    techradar does announcements on twitter (can't recall the guy's name) when there's a drop on the Xbox or PS5. I got mine from Walmart that way. I would have gotten one a month earlier directly from MS (it would have been easy this one time), but I really wanted one from Best Buy to get the 500...

    Xbox Series S was available all day on 7/23 must have had a ton of stock come in (old post locked)

    The thing about the Series X is it's got better video than the Series S. I'm pretty sure the Series S is a video downgrade from the One X. That's one thing Sony got right...AFAIK, the only difference between their 2 models is the drive. That said, I grabbed a one X from Wallyworld about 2...

    Windows 11 May Not Run on Early Ryzen, Threadripper, Skylake-X, or Any Pre-2016 Intel PC

    Unless they removed the ability to simply left click on the shortcut and add it to the taskbar, it's not a meaningful change, IMO, but i've been doing it that way since no later than 2015 (and that assume 7 didn't have that option. Of course it's a steam issue. Steam isn't using a shortcut...

    Windows 11 May Not Run on Early Ryzen, Threadripper, Skylake-X, or Any Pre-2016 Intel PC

    Once it was trained, it has always brought up what I want. Now the steam thing, IMO, is a Steam issue. They should install a shortcut into some folder in under the User's profile like, ya know, pretty much every other program. That said, i never even tried to launch it that way. I just load it...

    Windows 11 May Not Run on Early Ryzen, Threadripper, Skylake-X, or Any Pre-2016 Intel PC

    Maybe for you. Literally nothing has changed for me. Now when I first installed 10, it didn't always know which control panel/settings app to open, but once I picked one a few times, it defaulted to the one I wanted. Aside from that, the start menus worked exactly the same IME.

    Windows 11 May Not Run on Early Ryzen, Threadripper, Skylake-X, or Any Pre-2016 Intel PC

    That's not what the [H] crowd said. They claimed it was an absolute disaster that they'd eliminated the Win 95 start menu and I'd swear they also claimed it used up too much screen real estate, but I could be wrong on that one. The whining about how it was going to be impossible for...

    Windows 11 May Not Run on Early Ryzen, Threadripper, Skylake-X, or Any Pre-2016 Intel PC

    Which is why MS needs to change Windows to having nothing but a CLI. If people want a gui, they need to use FTP to download a gui for the desktop. Need a web browser...back to FTP. Make Windows DOS again. Seriously, virtually nobody wants the stripped down OS you want. And TBH, windows is...

    Windows 11 May Not Run on Early Ryzen, Threadripper, Skylake-X, or Any Pre-2016 Intel PC

    I guess my take is Skylake has some nasty bugs, so it's probably a good idea to leave them out, especially since 10 will be supported for 4 more years. Sometimes I feel the need to switch the OS, but I'm content with 10. It works well enough for my needs. But as soon as I upgrade, my MB/CPU...

    Windows 11 May Not Run on Early Ryzen, Threadripper, Skylake-X, or Any Pre-2016 Intel PC

    As someone with Skylake, I have no problem with this. 10 will be around for 4 more years. I seriously doubt I'll still be running this rig in 2025 (well at least not the CPU/MB and probably not the GPU either)

    Windows 11 May Not Run on Early Ryzen, Threadripper, Skylake-X, or Any Pre-2016 Intel PC

    Not on my PC. I have a PW...no pin. Same with my mother's PC....but father has it. I think we're all on the same version of 10. I know they're on the same version.

    Windows 11 May Not Run on Early Ryzen, Threadripper, Skylake-X, or Any Pre-2016 Intel PC

    Someone probably answered this, but there's an option somewhere to use a pin instead of a PW. I've never used it, but my Dad set it up on his PC in the last year or 2.

    It wins, because that's what people want. Do you not remember when the big PC builders offered Linux? It was a disaster. Hobbyists are not a major factor in the world of computing. It's business followed by consumers (or maybe Education and then Consumers). And as someone who's worked on Unix...
