  2. Microsoft Officially Retires WordPad After 28 Years

    I used WordPad for .rtf files. Word was...unreliable...at least for me...regarding .rtf files. But I haven't used it in years...think back to OS/2 warp days and WordPerfect.

  7. Toshiba Announces Mx11 Family of Helium-Sealed High-Capacity HDDs, including 24 TB (CMR) and 28 TB (SMR) Models

    I've had Toshiba X-series desktop drives, and they were fantastic (their laptop drives are another matter...slow as molasses). My PC has the 12 GB White label WD drive for archival storage. It is good to see Toshiba still making drives. However, I think they stopped making consumer drives some...

  8. Deliver at All Costs Is an Isometric 1950s Themed Action Game Where Mass Destruction May Be Inevitable While Getting the Job Done

    BINGO! I had delayed returns for customers on my Intel Woes BINGO card.

  12. Intel Core i9-14900K Microcode 0x129 BIOS Fix: Before vs After Performance Benchmarks

    Great writeup as usual. This is "a time will tell" scenario if this was a placebo or if it indeed worked. I can't help but wonder if this is akin to putting lipstick on a pig and declaring it is fixed. Slight changes all of a sudden will prevent degradation (if a chip has not been degraded...

  15. Half-Life 2 RTX Gets One-Hour Gameplay Video from Gamescom 2024 and Nova Prospekt Trailer from NVIDIA

    I"m reading that it could be equivalent to 7800xt or 7900GRE but with faster ray tracing (and at the same price). So your 7900 xt and xtx you should still keep.

  17. GTA VI Could Cost More Than $70 and Set a New Pricing Standard for the Games Industry, Baldur’s Gate 3 Dev Says

    According to economic theory, if demand goes down...then prices SHOULD go down. This is not what we are seeing here.

  19. Microsoft Says the End Is Nigh for Control Panel, Nearly 40 Years After Its Introduction

    Now I remember what the Windows Settings remind me of....the Windows phone. I used to have a Nokia Windows Phone and the UI is very similar.

  20. Microsoft Says the End Is Nigh for Control Panel, Nearly 40 Years After Its Introduction

    Windows settings is a maze of trying to find the exact functionality you need to do. For example, I need to access the network adapter to tweak some ip4 or ip6 settings. Holy-hide-and-seek-Batman that thing is buried in multiple pages in Settings. This is not an optimal UI design. It is neither...
