    EA Confirms $55 Billion Buyout Deal, and According to a Report, the New Owners Are Banking on AI to Reduce Operating Costs

    Depends on the wording of your employment contract. Some companies allow employees to cash out PTO thereby assigning a monetary value to it. Most companies don't allow that and assign no monetary value to PTO until it is used.

    EA Confirms $55 Billion Buyout Deal, and According to a Report, the New Owners Are Banking on AI to Reduce Operating Costs

    A lot of companies are moving away from accrued and rollover PTO to a un"limited" PTO platform. And they're not paying out any accrued or rolled over PTO. They did that to us. We had people with 8+ weeks accrued that just POOF'd. When you have hundreds or thousands of employees that's a lot of...

    NVIDIA RTX 50 SUPER Series Might Debut at CES 26, Launch Between March-May, and Has Been Spotted on the Seasonic Website

    Well, yeah, right tool for the job applies. All I use my GPU for is gaming. And for my needs at 1440P 16 GB is more than enough.

    NVIDIA RTX 50 SUPER Series Might Debut at CES 26, Launch Between March-May, and Has Been Spotted on the Seasonic Website

    16 GB is not an issue at 1440. I can max out settings for every game in my library. TBH, I tried a few of my games, side by side, on two 32" monitors. One 1440, other 4k. I honestly can't tell much, if any, difference in quality. Maybe, slightly, in some instances is the 4k better. YMMV

    Deus Ex Remastered Arrives for PC and Consoles on February 5, 2026, with New Visual Enhancements and Character Models

    While watching the vid I was also thinking "geez, these updated graphics look like hot kaka". Quake Live has better graphics, and that's browser based lol

    Another Round for the Champ as AMD Announces New AM4 Ryzen 5 CPU

    Nothing wrong with this kind of CPU for general office PC's. More than enough power to run any kind of productivity application.

    Apple A19 Pro Bests AMD Ryzen 9 9950X And Intel Core i9-14900KS in Single-Threaded Tests While Leaving Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite in the Dust

    Just looking at how bad it performed in multi-threaded applications it has zero chance of making any headway in the desktop market. And only 2.7% faster than the snapdragon. Most everything application wise is moving away from being single threaded.

    Battlefield 6 Battle Royale, the Battlefield Way, Testing Phase Begins This Week with up to 100 Players in the Deadliest Ring Yet

    There could be smaller maps for lower player counts. Nothing is mentioned about that though. I think only PUBG does that now. I'm hoping this 25 man squad deal is a specific game mode, and solo's are a thing.

    Battlefield 6 Battle Royale, the Battlefield Way, Testing Phase Begins This Week with up to 100 Players in the Deadliest Ring Yet

    Couple other things I don't particularly like. 1. The zone is instant death. This is going to make maps extremely small no matter how big they are. People won't be able to spread out as much for fear of getting unluckily caught by the zone. While this will increase game pacing, it's going to...

    Battlefield 6 Battle Royale, the Battlefield Way, Testing Phase Begins This Week with up to 100 Players in the Deadliest Ring Yet

    I was excited for this, until they announced it's just going to be another Warzone. Why can't they keep it simple? Drop in, loot, survive, kill, win. None of this loadout nonsense. Knowing EA they'll find some way to make it pay-to-win with "exclusive guns in this weeks Battlepack".

    Starlink

    Wish I could do that with Spectrum. They're the only option other than DLS. They have us by the short and curly's, so they won't apply any promotions to lower our bill. I pay $115 a month for 600/20 service.

    Intel Files Patent For Software-Defined Super Cores, Allowing 2 or More Cores to Function as One

    Our VM environment is mixed use. We have several thousand SQL instances though. Instead of managing SPLA licensing ourselves we use Azure agents that report directly to M$ and get a considerable discount for doing so.
