    GIGABYTE Shifts All Connectors to the Back of the Motherboard with Project Stealth

    Meh, not a fan of the idea. All for looks and yet they'll just make it more of a pain to setup or troubleshoot problems. This also doesn't give mobo makers much flexibility in placement of components on a board. Edit: Heh, drilling the front face while the machine is running. I really hate...

    Netflix Loses 200,000 Subscribers in Q1 2022, Blames Password Sharing and Other Factors for Stagnating Growth

    Hah, no. That will just lead to more piracy. That is like Humble Bundle's new Choice monthly rules. If you cancel/suspend for a month, you lose your 20% discount on their store and don't get it back for a year of continued subscription. The second I decide not to buy a monthly and lose that...

    Windows 11 Less Popular than Windows XP: Survey

    I had very few problems with win2k and ran it for probably 3 or so years on a Duron 1ghz and then an AthlonXP. Gaming wise a lack of problems might have been because I wasn't playing many old games at that point. I only upgraded to XP because I had a maxtor hd die on me for the second time so I...

    Windows 11 Adoption Appears to Have Stalled

    Yeah, not much motivation to even test it when it technically is supposed to only run on my newer Ryzen systems (sorry 1st gen 1700, you're already too old) and yet win11 seems to have issues with Ryzen chips and the new scheduler. On top of all the standard new win OS bugs and compatibility...

    Microsoft Planning Major Windows 10 UI Refresh for 2021

    " The changes will presumably include a sleeker, modernized skin, as well as refined menus and new animations. " Oh yay, I just can't wait for another update that moves old things around or deletes them and makes it all the more confusing to find menus and settings.

    TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan 500GB 2.5 SATA SSD Review

    Nice to see a large amount of test programs used in the review. TeamGroup seems to have some of the better options for price/perf these days for sata drives. Happy so far with mine. I agree with Burt though, 500gb is my standard now for a boot drive and maybe 1-2 games. Everything else on...

    [PR] AMD Launches Ryzen 9 3900XT, Ryzen 7 3800XT, and Ryzen 5 3600XT Processors

    A whole lotta meh in my opinion. All depends on where the price settles at after release. I can't see the 3600XT being worth $45 more than a 3600X or a $170 3600.

    Intel Plans to Cut CPU Prices in H2 2020 to Fend Off AMD Ryzen’s Climbing Market Share

    I'll believe it when I see it. They might want to do it before AMD releases the 4000 Ryzen desktop chips.

    AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT Gets Substantial Performance Bump on PCIe 4.0 vs. 3.0

    Its a 8x card. So in theory, more bandwidth available at 4.0 8x speed than 3.0 8x speed. Combine it with a 128bit memory bus and voila? https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/radeon-rx-5500-xt.c3468

    “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” Is Shaping Up to Be a Critical Disaster

    Hah, I'd forgotten the Enterprise out of water bit from Into Darkness. I remembered the red planet and white mud caked people but I had to go look up the clip. I can't even remember what the big plot hole was that turned me off while watching it. Despite movie #2, I think JarJar and crew did...
