  1. Marvel Suing to Keep Rights of Iron Man, Spider-Man, Thor, and Other Avengers Characters from Going to Heirs

    Absent a contract to the contrary, the comics industry is a work for hire situation. If there were such a contract, they wouldn't be suing for copyright termination. Copyright termination doesn't get you back foreign rights, just US rights. It also doesn't get you back rights to derivative...
  2. HBO Releases First Image of The Last of Us Live-Action Series

    Given the stage of production it is in, it is basically concept art. The odds that it is final release VFX is near zero. They appear to be spending GoT levels of money per episode, so expect similar or slightly better VFX. It's HBO. If you are going to hate it, it's not going to be because of...
  3. SSD Prices Are Expected to Drop By as Much as 15 Percent

    Hunh? Maybe if you are talking data center, but covid and work from home has had everything laptop hammered for a good chunk of this year. Hence the 2Q20 uptick. I've been eyeballing NVME drives for the 6 months for a new build. I think the 2021 price cuts were already here as they had dropped...
  4. Early NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Stock Numbers Seem Depressing

    I've gone over to team red a few times. The amount of stuff that just didn't work as promised and overall issues has kept me on team green for quite some time. I finally managed to snag a 3080 FE, so I'm good, but the reality is AMD could have had millions of cards on day one and it wouldn't be...
  5. Windows 10 October 2020 Update Rolling Out with Updated Start Menu, New Edge Features, and More

    I've got 2004 on both my laptop and desktop. The desktop is fine. The laptop, despite MS saying it was ready for 2004, has had all sorts of problems. The fact that MS no longer lets the nvidia control panel control video card affinity sucks. The win10 method is garbage making me guess what...
  6. NVIDIA Reminds Us That Twelve More Games with Ray Tracing and DLSS Are Coming This Year

    They are trying to remind you that DLSS and raytracing are very important as competition is about to hit for said card.
  7. GeForce RTX 3080 (20 GB) to Cost $999? NVIDIA Reportedly Flooding GPU Market in November to Wash Away AMD

    His last conspiracy theory made sense. This one is much more plausible because it has a path to benefit for nvidia. Namely that they release the $699 tier cards oo get headlines with the performance and price and establish price pressure on AMD. AMD releases and announces a price, and then...
  8. Intel/AMD Pricing War Imminent? 11th Gen Core i7 (8C/16T) to Undercut Ryzen 7 5800X by $100, Rumors Claim

    I'm guessing he's less talking about next gen architecture for x86 and more about x86 vs arm.
  9. Now Laptops Are Ditching the Headphone Jack

    If you watch a lot of video with headphones, BT often has a problem with having a robust connection and keeping audio in sync. This is because keeping the connection solid is often achieved by having a larger audio buffer. But for audiophiles they probably won't care as fancy USB DACs with...
  10. AMD Releasing “Zen 3” CPUs on Nov. 5: Flagship Ryzen 9 5950X (16C/32T) to Cost $799

    Decided to pull the trigger on a 3700x when it hit $275. Figured I'd regret it later, but I have yet to see an equivalent 8 core 65w TDP part and the MSRP on the 5800x is a bit high. I'll see what they look like in 6 months maybe.
  11. Switch Users Urged to Provide Video Evidence after Nintendo Claims Joy-Con Drift “Isn’t a Real Problem”

    I think the problem is that it isn't fixable. It has to do with the non-traditional design of the analog sticks, and that was necessary to fit it in the form factor.
  12. Cryptominers Already Lining Up for NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 Series?

    The difference with crypto is that everything about it could be done another way than by just turning electricity into heat. The fact it is to create a market with a value that can be double, triples, or nearly wiped out by any existing bank simply deciding to manipulate it. As what it is...
  13. Cryptominers Already Lining Up for NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 Series?

    FFS... not this **** again. It both annoys me as a gamer, and it's an absolute ****show environmentally.
  14. GIGABYTE’s Flagship GeForce RTX 30 Series GPUs May Take Up Four PCIe Slots

    Hmm 4 slot cooling solutions. Asus providing visual indicators that the GPU thinks your PSU sucks. I'm getting the feeling that the 3090 might be a bit ambitious and touchy.
  15. Herman Miller Announces $1,445 Aeron Gaming Chair

    It isn't just you. I don't see how this differs form snagging a bulk stocked version from an office furniture place for $800 or so.
