    Netflix Didn’t Attribute Any Value to WB Games in Its Deal Because It Was Considered Relatively Minor to the Grand Scheme of Things

    I went to look it up in their published income statement, but they lump WB Games in with "Studios", so you can't see it distinguished from other content. They only mention a massive drop in revenue lately (almost 50%), along with a massive cut in spending following their latest restructuring...

    AMD FSR Redstone Is Coming To Town: ML-FSR For RDNA 4

    I think I'm ok with that really.

    EVGA RTX 3070 and Intel UHD 770

    I think you might be able to just remove the drivers for it, but Windows may want to keep re-installing them and thwarting your attempt. I wouldn't just unplug the power while leaving it in the PCI slot though - either leave it all plugged in, or remove it entirely. It ~shouldn't~ hurt it and...

    TEAMS on windows 11 SUCKS!!!

    I always hear people on Teams saying "I put something-or-another in chat" And I think "Oh, that's cute. I thought we were chatting?"

    NVIDIA Quietly Re-Adds 32-Bit PhysX Support for Select Classic Games on RTX 50 Series GPUs with Its Latest Game Ready Driver

    Let's hear it for fixing things that were working just fine and you shouldn't have broke in the first place!

    Buyout Deal Worth $82 Billion Could See Netflix Gain Access to Warner Bros. Game IPs Such as Batman, Harry Potter, and Mortal Kombat

    I always feel like when two giant conglomerates merge, it ends up being somehow worse for everyone else. Inevitably they start spinning stuff back off in ~5 years, but only after after destroying your dreams and crushing your hopes... Warner has to be getting tired of being passed around like a...

    RAM == LOBSTERS???? OH CRAP!

    Oh wow holy cow “The AI-driven growth in the data center has led to a surge in demand for memory and storage. Micron has made the difficult decision to exit the Crucial consumer business in order to improve supply and support for our larger, strategic customers in faster-growing segments,” You...

    The Price of Steam Machine Could Be Within the $600–$800 Range, According to Costs of a Mock-Up Test Build

    I seriously don't think graphics/hardware will get pushed much further, at least in the near term. I know that's gonna get a lot of pushback here. But... Look at the most popular games online right now. Most of them will run on a potato. Many of them are many years old. I mean, sure, there are...

    AMD RDNA 3.5 Radeon 8060S iGPU Dukes It Out, and Bests, NVIDIA RTX 4070 and Many Other Mobile Graphics Solutions

    This sums up my experience with Steam Deck - it's nice to have when the wife ropes me into watching dumb TV shows, but yeah, really glad it isn't my primary device. It's mostly nice because it's purpose built - what it does, it does very well, and it doesn't pretend to be a 4K gaming machine or...

    35% off @ $259.99 Intel Core Ultra 7 Desktop Processor 265K - 20 cores (8 P-cores + 12 E-cores) up to 5.5 GHz

    That's exactly what I was thinking too. AI Benchmarks are... not impactful for my workloads at all.

    The Price of Steam Machine Could Be Within the $600–$800 Range, According to Costs of a Mock-Up Test Build

    This is just like all those "I built a PC specced to a console and it cost $XYZ" It will be interesting if it's totally open and you can install other OSes, like the Steam Deck is.

    The Z Build(s) 3.0 - Go Big and/or Go Home

    What you say is true, and I don't dispute the effect more flow will have on the radiator. I entirely agree. But let's hold the flow rates you have constant (because in reality it will be constant, you aren't varying the flow rate in response to anything once you have it in service) and consider...

    level1tech watching three ASROCK AM5 mobos like a hawk!

    Hmm.. That is a fair point.

    level1tech watching three ASROCK AM5 mobos like a hawk!

    Interesting. Just at first read, and I don't know all the particulars about it... but it's gonna be really hard to stand on anyone having done anything wrong when you have an overclock in play. Doesn't matter that it's two different components. Now - that doesn't make it right. Probably is...

    Early Black Friday Deals on RAM, NVMe Drives, GPUs, and More

    I was thinking the exact same thing. Generation over generation performance/value has ... changed.

    Valve's NEW Steam Machine...

    Honestly, if they had a version of Steam Link that worked at 4k HDR I'd be happy (currently use AppleTV for this, but it seems to have more latency). I don't really care about local performance when I have a gaming PC on the LAN that I can stream from.

    The 10 Most Influential CPUs of All Time

    I guess if your main goal is just to win the Mhz war, then it's definitely possible to hit 10Ghz. But I'm glad we kind of got off that train. Things got better quickly once we did (and the software caught up to SMP)

    The Z Build(s) 3.0 - Go Big and/or Go Home

    I still get hung up on this right here and can't see how it's an issue. But anyway, fun to theorize. Looking forward to seeing what it does once you flip the switch on.
