    AMD Ryzen 7 9700X CPU Review: 8-Core Zen 5 at $359

    Great review. I sat out the last round, still on AM4 5700x. I hope the AM5 mobos that are in the wild will at least boot and allow a firmware update, if I end up buying a Microcenter bundle or whatever.

    ASUS Announces NUC 14 Pro+ with Up to Intel Core Ultra 9 Processor and Thunderbolt 4 with DisplayPort 1.4 and USB4

    I thought NUC was dead? Or did Asus pry the corpse away from Intel?

    Anyone else tired of Bioshock yet? I mean the first one was different and cool but the rest just haven't gripped me.

    Ghost of Tsushima Jumps 70 Spots to Become Best-Selling Game in May 2024 (U.S.)

    Awesome game. I played it on a base PS4 and it was still a phenomenal thing to behold. On a high end PC with the settings cranked up I'm sure it will melt eyeballs.

    GIGABYTE B650E AORUS ELITE X AX ICE Motherboard Review

    Nice looking but $230 is about a hundy more than I have spent on any of my last 3 or 4 mobos. $150 is my top end.

    SpaceX Awarded the Contract to Help Crash the International Space Station into the Sea

    If they can launch something to assist bringing it down... how about, oh I dunno, launching something to raise it's orbit back up? Why destroy the ISS, it's not like it's milk or eggs that goes bad? I understand maintenance is a thing. But if we destroy it, we have nothing to replace it with...

    Western Digital Launches WD Blue SN5000 NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSDs with up to 4 TB Capacity for Budget Users

    We'll see what pricing looks like but I am for affordable, name brand SSDs! I think I dropped over $300 on the 4tb black I put in the PS5. If I could see a 4tb blue for $200 or less, I would retire my ancient 5tb spinner/game drive

    Logitech Unveils Its Most Portable Keyboard Ever

    IR yep. I think I still have an IRman in my closet junk box I used for remote control. I mostly used Windows Media Center for playback stuff, but Winamp was always available for quick and dirty music playback. I was really looking into the cablecard or HD homerun options but they were pricey...

    Logitech Unveils Its Most Portable Keyboard Ever

    I did something like this too in the early HTPC days, around 2k, except I used a super long ps/2 extension under the couch, around the walls under the carpet. I had tried some inexpensive wireless setups but most of them were still IR back then and they kinda sucked. My first wireless...

    PlayStation Portal Gains Several New User Enhancements with Latest Software Update, Rolling Out Now

    Me too. Sony will probably forget about it soon too. I just read today that Sony is abandoning PSVR2, thing hasn't been out that long. That doesn't affect me, I am not the VR target audience (BARFS). Nor am I really in need of a playstation tablet.... I guess if you have multiple people in...

    Logitech Unveils Its Most Portable Keyboard Ever

    I had one of those back when I had a HTPC. Big fan of the trackball, the keyboard not so much and it desperately needed backlighting since I was always using it in the dark. It just up and died on me one day, and then learned they didn't sell them anymore. Just went with a Logitech K400 which...

    Star Wars: The Acolyte Premieres on Disney+ with a 94% Tomatometer Score

    Yep that one is the GOAT. I also liked Jedi Academy but that was probably more for the lan party lightsaber battles than the actual campaign story. Also relevant, but will it ever get completed? Outcast remake
