  1. AMD Ryzen 7 9700X/7700X to Deliver up to 35% Improved Gaming Performance with Windows 24H2 Update, Benchmarks Show

    Nice boost for me (I am guessing since my cpu hasnt been tested).
  2. Microsoft Says the End Is Nigh for Control Panel, Nearly 40 Years After Its Introduction

    I was going to say let the witch hunts begin, but they started without me. Now where did I leave my pitchfork and holy water? I've heard both can be used to some success when trying to get Windows (or windows programmers) to do as you wish. Like others, I may be showing some of my age. in...
  3. Soap Box Day. Steam update game process.

    Interesting, I have all of those enabled and doesnt seem to work. Or perhaps it works for some and I dont notice.
  4. Three New Xbox Consoles Are Now Available for Pre-Order Ahead of October Release, including Xbox Series X Digital Edition

    Why yes, I do. Its pretty nifty for making pics of my D&D characters and looking up info on random topics. Did have a big fail today trying to make a pic of my Tabaxi Rogue/Warlock. It just could not put whips in his hands/claws as weapons. Got everything else right though.
  5. Three New Xbox Consoles Are Now Available for Pre-Order Ahead of October Release, including Xbox Series X Digital Edition

    I dont follow consoles much. Always been a PC player since the days of my Apple //c and Lode Runner, Wolfenstein, Ultima, etc. To those who know and do keep up, is there any new tech in these? Or are they the same old of the current generation? If newer stuff I might be tempted to pick one...
  6. Soap Box Day. Steam update game process.

    In a preachy mood, seems like the best sub-forum, feel free to move. WTF doesnt steam have an update all button? Also WTF does Steam only download one update at a time? Usually well below my top speed meaning a second data stream (and a few more) would be fine. Why cant/wont Steam allow for...
  7. Denuvo by Irdeto Launches New AI Product to Detect Bots and Cheaters

    Denuvo seems like such a contentious product. /get_on_soap_box: ON First, let me explain, I agree with the goal of stopping bots and other "cheat" behaviors. I'm more so an RPG/MMO player than shooter, and have run into tons of bots farming and causing problems. The WOW Gold bots/spammers are...
  8. Black Myth: Wukong Devs Warn Against “Feminist Propaganda,” COVID-19, and Other “Negative Discourse” in Lead-Up to Today’s Release of Chi...

    I am wondering if that is a bad translation. Idioms from other languages tend to not work post translation. That said, WTF is 'Feminist Propaganda' and why does the Chinese government want it censored? Hmmmm, Copilot seems to have actually come up with a decent analysis. ".... Conclusion The...
  9. AMD Ryzen 9 9950X CPU Review: 16-Core Zen 5 at $649

    Nice my CPU holds up for gaming at least.
  10. Dragon Age: The Veilguard Launches This Halloween, according to Leaked Trailer from BioWare

    I really want to play the first Dragon Age and work though the series. I started it once before back in the day, so very long ago, when I was using 3x 1080p with NV Surround, which the game was really buggy and annoying with. Now it just wont run on my current system.
  11. “No Reply”: Some PC Makers May Not Honor Intel’s Extended CPU Warranty

    Other than laptops, I typically buy by the part. I'm guessing its like if I got a new refrigerator. If the 6502 (just go with it) running the display does some self immolation, I dont have a warranty on the part do I? Hmmmmmmm Socketed CPU's vs soldered I see being an issue too. Do OEM's...
  12. Cooler Master Readies Its Groundbreaking Modular Hardware Platform MasterHub for Release

    Looks pretty nifty. Wish I had a use case to justify getting one. I can see how it would be very useful for many types of work. Just nothing I do. Or at least that I can think of right now. I suppose this could change at some point. Now if they added a game controller module....
  13. CrowdStrike Explains What Led to Last Week’s Global Tech Outage

    No matter how much you try **** will happen. How you respond is more important that never making a mistake. But it is not like this is the wisdom of the ages or anything everyone doesn't already know :) I'm not connected to the IT world well enough to know how/what happened other than a...
  14. AMD Commits to AM5 Support through 2027+ as Company Confirms Zen 6 and Zen 7 Architectures

    I like sticking with AM5, will my mobo stay relevant though? The newer x870e chipset already has some nifty upgrades. What will the next 3 years bring?
  15. Logitech Unveils Its Most Portable Keyboard Ever

    Looks nice, could be useful for switching between laptop/desktop instead of using 2 keyboards. Er.... except, do they have a model with 10-key? No 10-key is a deal breaker for me.
  16. AMD Ryzen 9000X3D CPUs May Be Launching in September

    I saw 1 article that said with the 870e chipset/right board and the new 9000 series am5 there would be 44 pcie lanes, I am starting to wonder if that was a typo and should have read 24. Not like I plan to go SLI any time soon but an x16 card with 4 gen 5 x4 nvme drives in raid 0...... Oh the...
  17. AMD Ryzen 9000X3D CPUs May Be Launching in September

    Did I correctly read more PCIE lanes with the right match of CPU and Chipset?
