  1. 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...
  2. Starfield Rolls Out New Update with REV-8, a Land Cruiser with Powerful Mounted Turret

    I tried it out this morning, and the first thing I see is a hilarious neon "missing texture" for all the planets in the system map. A simple restart fixes this problem, but I was laughing seeing that. I played with the vehicle and of course the game crashed after i used the vehicle booster to...
  3. New Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season Two Trailer Teases Return of Sauron and Legendary Siege of Eregion

    I don't understand it either. Amazon harps season 1 as a success. Disney is losing money with their insistence of DEI agenda, but they continue to push that manifesto even when things burn around them.
  4. AMD Ryzen 7000 and 5000 Series More Likely to Fail than 14th Gen Intel Core CPUs, New Data Suggests

    All I see are numbers of CPU failure, and no details of what issues the CPUs experienced. I seriously doubt the veracity of their report. They stated that they overclock...so does this mean maximum overclock? Stable overclocks? Modest overclocks? What? What kind of issues did they experience...
  5. “Painful”: Intel CEO Confirms He’s Laying Off 15,000 Workers as Part of Cost Reduction Plan to Increase Efficiency and Market Competitiveness

    Yeah DOW was in a freefall today. However, AMD stock went up...I'm hearing the Jaws theme over there over Pat's head.
  6. “Painful”: Intel CEO Confirms He’s Laying Off 15,000 Workers as Part of Cost Reduction Plan to Increase Efficiency and Market Competitiveness

    While that typically happens, a sign that things could be changing is that the intel stock took a rightful beating today. If this continues, Pat will not get his golden parachute.
  7. Seven Samurai Slices Its Way onto 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray on October 21

    I'm getting this one. This and the original Magnificient Seven are on my 4k list to buy! Fun fact: Lucas cites this movie (along with the old serials) as an inspiration for Star Wars.
  8. “The Forever Mouse”: Logitech Mulls New Series of Mice with Subscription Fees

    My mom's first computer was an emachine that she got about a year after I graduated from college. She had a p3-600 (like the picture shown). I remember replacing the power supply and my mom crying in the background thinking that I would be electrocuted. When it was finished, her computer...
  9. Intel Is Rumored to Be Cutting as Many as 10,000 Jobs as Part of a Strategy to Save $10 Billion in the Coming Months

    This must result from them releasing the AI chips...they are replacing manpower with those. (Sorry, sorry--this is a horrible situation for those 10,000 being laid off...never wish that on anyone. I felt like bashing intel this week.)
  10. Intel Reveals September Launch Date for Core Ultra “Lunar Lake” AI Processors

    What's with the naming schemes for the AI chips? They all have been horrible. None of them roll off the tongue and are not easy to remember. Good god, did the....AI choose those names?
  11. Intel Currently Has No Plans to Recall Failing 13th and 14th Gen Processors nor Will Sales Be Halted

    And fix as minor as a wrong number on the heatspreader according to some reports (Ryzen 9 9700x instead of Ryzen 7 9700x). Now that is dedication to quality.
  12. “Fallout: London”: DLC-Sized Mod for Fallout 4 with New Quests, Original Voice Acting, and More Launches on July 24 for Steam and GOG

    For games I've liked, I've double-dipped with Steam and GOG (Fallout games, Elder scrolls games, etc). I then download the game files and back it up so that I do not lose that game file. BTW Fallout 3 installs better from GOG than from Steam (and Fallout 4). I love Steam, but I have found GOG to...
  13. AMD Ryzen 9000 Series “Zen 5” CPUs Were Delayed Due to Typos, Photo Showing “Ryzen 9 9700X” Suggests

    Unlike Intel who rushes the 14th gen out of the door without much (if any) quality testing and was silent on how to approach the PR nightmare. I like that AMD catches something minor like a "9" on their heat spreader, and they're willing to delay and fix it to prevent misunderstandings.
  14. NVIDIA TITAN AI “Blackwell” GPU in Development with 63% Faster Performance vs. GeForce RTX 4090, Leakers Say

    That's all? My wife would inflict every Aztec torture device on me and then add Mayan torture just to make sure I would never be tempted to buy this potentially hella nice card.
  15. Nobody Wants to Die is Now available for PC and Consoles

    "Individuals suffering from depression may not have a safe experience playing this game." So are they now posting "trigger" warnings to games? So what game will a person suffering from depression have a safe experience? Doom Eternal where exploding, shooting, and dismembring demons cast a...
  16. Financial Returns for AI Investments Disagreed Upon by Goldman Sachs Researchers and Other Experts

    We will see a crash in the next 3-4 years after MS proves they are losing money for their copilot program. We are in the rising curve, so make the most money you can now and jump off when it starts to dip.
  17. “Truly Sorry”: Bungie Addresses Several Critical Issues Affecting Destiny 2: The Final Shape’s Launch

    How is it that there are network and server issues when a live service game launches? Do they not test it before launching? Has this release-on-a-hope-and-a-prayer ever worked?
  18. Cyberpunk 2077 Development Fully Ceases 3.5 Years After Release

    Doh, I meant the Redkit where modders can update the quests, dialogue, etc in witcher 3.
