    PUBG: Black Budget, the Upcoming Extraction Shooter Spinoff, Enters Closed Alpha Testing on PC in December

    This one the one I was thinking of, the trial is pretty interesting https://www.gamesindustry.biz/explosive-unknown-worlds-lawsuit-filing-claims-krafton-created-secret-task-force-to-execute-a-takeover They are going so far as to subpena ChatGPT logs claiming the CEO was asking ChatGPT how to...

    PUBG: Black Budget, the Upcoming Extraction Shooter Spinoff, Enters Closed Alpha Testing on PC in December

    Isn't this the company that went all in on AI generation and is laying off/pushing out developers left and right?

    Valve's NEW Steam Machine...

    This is true, but they still had to spend capital to get that production run manufactured at some point.

    Is this cooler design innovative or dumb? (Chinese KX-7000)

    I agree! could almost do it with a regular heat pipe arrangement

    After Nearly $1 Billion in Crowdfunding and 13 Years in Development, Star Citizen Is Nearly, Nah, Who’re We Kidding, It’s Never Going to Happen

    Man, I admit that game had so much promise back in the day. Today, it's people paying absurd amounts for CAD files to fly around.

    Valve's NEW Steam Machine...

    That's true of any console. Steam isn't afraid of taking a loss though - remember the days of $5 Steam Links and Steam Controllers?

    Is this cooler design innovative or dumb? (Chinese KX-7000)

    Should work ok as long as it's oriented correctly. It won't shatter any records but for a standard business PC or something that would be more than adequate. That said, not exactly easy to install or pull off if you needed to repaste, and very specific to that motherboard/case combo. I think...

    Seasonic Is Reportedly Expanding Its Prime Fanless TX Power Supply Series with a 1000W 80 Plus Titanium Model

    1K fanless is a feat. I agree, seems a bit niche, as once you get that large other components all have fans that make the PSU negligible. Still neat though.

    It Was Forty Years Ago When Microsoft Introduced Windows, Joining a New Wave of Graphical User Interface-Based Operating Systems

    If Windows Update makes Edge my default browser one more f'n time... I'm gonna go all Red Stapler.

    It Was Forty Years Ago When Microsoft Introduced Windows, Joining a New Wave of Graphical User Interface-Based Operating Systems

    I admit to watching that mostly just to watch her run down the isle with her hammer.

    Valve Announces New Hardware for 2026, Including a New Steam Machine and the Steam Frame VR Headset

    True, although any distro that you get Steam running on and put it in Big Picture mode is "pretty darn close"

    Valve's NEW Steam Machine...

    I have no idea, but don't forget to account for inflation! I assume just about as many people are still regularly feeding their digital pets as are using their Oculus regularly. Perhaps a Venn diagram would show a lot of overlap there? I have no scientific data to back that up, other than I...

    Tamagotchi has sold over 100 million too.

    ASUS Leads The Pack as OLED Monitor Shipments Increase by 65% From The Previous Year

    I've been so close to pulling the trigger on an OLED monitor, just haven't quite done it yet. My IPS monitors are still doing ok, but if any of them were to meet with an unfortunately accident... it would be a shame.

    ASUS Goes Retro with Its ProArt PA401, PA602 Wood Edition PC Cases Available in Select Beige or Retro Brown Colors

    I kinda dig it actually. Not sure if I could actually find 5 1/4" drives to populate it though. But only if it still comes with the physical keyboard lock and Ghz speed indicator on the front.

    Valve’s New VR Headset “Deckard” Will Launch in Late 2025 for $1,200, It’s Claimed

    I don't think I'm worried too much about the specs. I mean, I am not expecting a machine that can run 4k 120FPS based on what's been published - so it won't be a top dollar high margin machine. Once you come down off that cliff, it's all about what the performance vs price comes in to be...

    Valve’s New VR Headset “Deckard” Will Launch in Late 2025 for $1,200, It’s Claimed

    Pretty sure Facebook killed VR when they bought Oculus and pushed out Palmer. Not that I think Palmer could have sustained it, but Meta sure as hell wasn't gonna make it. And didn't.

    LIAN LI Launches SP and SX Platinum SFX Series PSUs with 80 PLUS Platinum Certification

    Like... 20 years ago, Lian Li was awesome. Today.. not sure I'd go there. They compromised their "all aluminum" case principle chasing budget build dollars trying to capitalize on the brand name. They still have some decent products, but it's not a brand name that you can universally associate...

    What’s the best way to install Windows when upgrading components?

    Yeah, seriously considering my next build (which isn't being planned yet) being Linux on bare metal, and keeping a copy of Windows in a hypervisor for those things you just absolutely have to have it for. I've almost went and formatted my current rig, but I find that I'm much to lazy to do...
