    because, underneath it, it's still 10, just worse

    More than Half of Those Surveyed in the U.S. Claim They Only Buy One or Two Video Games a Year

    I might buy 1-2 AAA titles at launch every year. Otherwise I wait until they are heavily discounted or free on Epic.

    Intel Is Expected to Share Details About Panther Lake This Week, as Rumored Specs About the First 18A Node SKUs Grow

    Intel has cared more about using less power than being faster. The whole P-core and E-core thing is just odd. Fine for office PC's, not so much for gaming. If they want to get the gaming crown back they're going to have to focus on power over economy. I don't see them doing that with their...

    Microsoft Removes the Ability to Install Windows 11 via a Local Account; Online Accounts Are Now Required to Complete Setup

    We use InTune and O365 to manage everything. We can send someone a laptop with a fresh install of W11 that hasn't gone through setup. All the end user is doing is connecting to their network, logging in with their O365 account, InTune takes over and pushes all their software. Easy peasy

    Microsoft Removes the Ability to Install Windows 11 via a Local Account; Online Accounts Are Now Required to Complete Setup

    not exactly running through Window setup in an enterprise environment anyways. We do that once, clean up everything that needs cleaning, install what needs to be installed, make an image and deploy that.

    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".
