    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...

    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?

    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.

    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...

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

    AMD Announces Availability of EPYC 4004 Series Processors with Up to 16 “Zen 4” Cores

    More pcie lanes would by what I wanted, but ya limitation of the motherboard, I am sure, as well as the cpu. What do these chips do my 7950 doesnt? I am guessing there are differences - I just dont have any experience with a proper server, as opposed to my laptop or router acting as a server...

    VESA Elevates PC and Laptop HDR Display Performance with DisplayHDR 1.2

    I ask because I dont know: How much is hardware? How much is software? Can older displays be upgraded? Dithering seems like it would be software/firmware but not something I know.

    Todd Howard Confirms Fall Launch for Starfield’s Shattered Space DLC, Explains Why Future Fallout Games Won’t Be Set Outside of the U.S.

    It would be awesome, though very difficult to pull off, to have a Fallout for each continent. Well, most of them anyways, but does each area/culture have something like the American 1950's to parody? Something with enough depth to do it right? I dont know.

    The Lord of the Rings Trilogy Returns to Theaters This Summer

    Ya I have the extended versions on either DVD or Blu Ray, and every few years spend a long weekend watching them. I forget if it was the linked article or elsewhere, I had though I read somewhere, that there video and fx, not in the original extended release. Or perhaps I am reading too much...

    The Lord of the Rings Trilogy Returns to Theaters This Summer

    How much new material? How touched up for the new special effects? And given the extended status, for an already very long set of movies, how will my bladder manage a large cherry coke and a what? 5 hour movie??

    Limited-Edition Fallout Gear Announced by Corsair and Elgato

    Ummm, I know what the microphone does, the other two pieces I have not a clue. Tried looking at specs and the Corsair site, still dont know. Not an audiophile so what does the box with the buttons do and what does the box with the dial (I assume a volume control) do? For $160 I expect more than...

    RGB Lighting on RAM Can Cause Permanent Burn Marks on GPUs, Users Say

    Not a problem with my current case, still good to know I suppose. Wonder how much a layer that blocks UV but not visible light would add to costs? I also read the other day, interestingly enough, our retina's can see some UV were it not that our cornea blocks it while remaining transparent to...

    ASUS Teases ROG MJOLNIR: “Not An April Fools’ Joke”
