  1. Warcraft Is One of the Worst Movies Ever Made, Ex-Activision Blizzard Boss Says: “A Terrible Idea”

    It was the first video-game based movie to gross over $400M. Too bad it cost more than that to make... It did very well in China. I had high hopes - Warcraft has a pretty rich lore and a lot of deep story lines to pull from. But the movie just kinda watered everything down and leaned way to...
  2. AMD Declares 2025 the “Year of the AI PC,” Comparing NPU Development to the 3D Revolution That GPUs Kicked Off in the ’90s

    Oh thank goodness. I mean, I'm sure having an NPU will be a requirement for upgrading to Windows 12 -- because that TPM they required us to have for WIndows 11 has been so great and necessary.
  3. be quiet! Introduces the Silent Loop 3, a High-End AiO That Delivers Immense Cooling Performance, Virtually Inaudible Operation, and Advanced Techn...

    Can't tell for sure if that's just a marketing image, but might be able to rebuild the pump. If so, a refill port makes perfect sense.
  4. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Has Allegedly Been Liquid Cooled to 20°C Using a Household Air Conditioner, and a RTX 5090 Is Next

    Yeah but they cost $$$$ whereas I can get those fridges for about $20 each in June when the local college kids are moving out of their dorms.
  5. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Has Allegedly Been Liquid Cooled to 20°C Using a Household Air Conditioner, and a RTX 5090 Is Next

    I'm kinda surprised Z didn't just go straight to a split duct unit AC for his overkill build like this.
  6. “I Guess It Was a Matter of Time”: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Power Connector Melted While Playing Battlefield V, User Says

    So did he use an extension cable, or is that the native cable from the PSU? It isn't clear in either the article or his PC Parts Picker list Really looks like a cable failure there, and those happen on occasion, so I wouldn't go jumping to this being a wide spread issue just yet. If he was...
  7. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti (16 GB) Launches on February 20, Delivering “2X” the Performance of the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti

    In marketing speak means... maybe the same speed, until you turn on our new, exclusive to 5000 series DLSS algorithm
  8. Valve Clarifies That In-Game Ads or Ad-Based Revenue Models Are Not Allowed in Steam Games

    Oh thank god. I wonder how this applies to.. say FFXV, which had a lot of in-game product placement ads, like Audi cars, NIssin Ramen, and American Express. https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Product_placement
  9. Take-Two CEO Admits PC Ports Can Generate Over 40% of Overall Sales as Company Intends on Launching GTA VI Exclusively for Consoles

    Why release it at the same time, when you can get a large chunk of those sales on the consoles by people who just can't wait to play it, and then again in a couple of years on the PC, when you re-release it with a few PC-centric improvements? Why wouldn't you double-dip sales like that? And...
  10. Cameras

    No actually that helps a lot - Unifi had been in my mind. IT ripped out my Ubiquiti router and put in their own Cisco stuff during the swapout, but I could always replace the Synology with a Unifi DVR, so that's definitely an option. That, and the reddit thread has people going both ways, with...
  11. Cameras

    Ok, so this isn't exactly the forte of this forum - but a lot of you have the right background and are good at it, so figured I'd ask. And Cameras are very much a part of security - physical security. At work, once upon a time in the not-so-distant past, I set up some security cameras for some...
  12. Overclocking NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Founders Edition

    My guess would be nVidia intentionally holding it back - so that if AMD does come out with a stunner, nVidia can "magically" come out with a 10% increase via a driver update. And if AMD doesn't have the right hand to play, nVidia can just hold it back and wait for the Ti edition. I mean, it's...
  13. Bill Gates Is “Stunned” at What Intel Has Become: “Basically Lost Its Way”

    I almost feel bad for Intel. Almost. I am sad that if Intel doesn't get it's act together, x86 is pretty well dead. I mean, AMD is there, and kudos to them. But I think if x86 becomes a one-horse race, ARM will walk all over it -- and that, I think, will be the death of DIY computer building...
  14. Turtle Beach Launches the VelocityOne Multi-Shift, Allowing Racers to Shift into a New Level of Realism with H-Gate, Sequential Shifting, and Analo...

    My son's cheap Logitech setup has a clutch pedal and I know he uses it because he screams about it all the time over Discord He mostly plays BeamMG and Farming Simulator - so I assume at least some of those support a clutch.
  15. LIAN LI Reveals Upcoming Products at 2025 Digital Expo, Including Three New LANCOOL Cases, a Rotatable PSU, and Vertical GPU Bracket

    That screen is just a monitor - nothing really special about it. I think I read somewhere that Windows would just detect it as another connected monitor (although that may have been a competitor's brand). Wondering if you couldn't use any small LCD and whatever software they are using to do...
