    GIGABYTE MO32U24 QD OLED 240 Hz 32″ Gaming Monitor with New ObsidianShield Film for Increased Perceived Black Levels Now Available

    QD OLED is OLED (Samsung), but it isn't the same WOLED (LG). There was an article around here about a year ago detailing the difference, and QD OLED had a lot of issues, and at times IPS would beat it for image fidelity. Seems it had big issues with ambient lighting? But I can't recall exactly.

    NVIDIA GeForce NOW Is Officially Available for Linux; Let the Games Begin!

    Would be nice if Epic could actually make the Windows version of their launcher worth a **** before forking a port off. GeForce Now - Because Now you can't buy a GeForce card at all!

    Very weird laptop trackpad issue.

    I have a cheap Lenovo with a trackpad that acts similarly, I can barely use it on a good day.

    $100 Grand Theft Auto VI Ultimate Edition Is Said to Lead Pre-Order Sales, According to Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick

    Ok I can't stop watching the cat and the hair just stretches like taffy. It's mezmerizing.

    Very weird laptop trackpad issue.

    I could totally believe that. A lot of trackpads are capacitance based, and if you don't have a solid chassis ground on the laptop (very very few do), any amount of static will wreck havoc. Glass is notorious for building up static charge too, and it doesn't help that a lot of trackpad surfaces...

    The July Steam Survey Is In: 16GB GPUs Have Officially Overtaken 8GB for the First Time

    Oh I wouldn't hold my breath on that one, given the layoff hammer keeps swinging over there.

    From GeForce RTX 4080 with 32GB VRAM to RTX 2080 Ti with 22 GB, Modded GPUs with More Memory Gain in Popularity Overseas

    Betting they have 8 year olds huddled over in a cramped hut with no ventilation for 18 hours a day desoldering the VRAM off them. (Does it make me a bad person that I immediately think this?)

    GeForce RTX 50 Series Sees Price Hikes Across Asia, NVIDIA Cancels Pre-Price-Change Order, and One Retailer Says Buy Now, Supply Is Unstable

    I am hoping this won't be the death knell of the DIY Personal Computer, but I'm really afraid that this might be the end of the road. Support and enthusiasm has been on a downhill trajectory for a long time now. Not from you guys, of course, we are the enthusiasts around here - just in terms of...

    GIGABYTE Launches AORUS P1600W 80+ Titanium Modular PCIe 5.1 AI TOP Power Supply

    I love the AI branding. Make everything AI 1600W is a big psu for 120V

    AMD Is Reportedly Jumping on the GPU Price Hike Gravy Train as Its Partners Claim a 10% Increase Is on Its Way in August

    Everything is going up in price, and most things by a lot more than 10%. I don't think this is a margin hike.

    Ex-Dragon Age Developer Considers It Unlikely a New Game Can Get off the Ground Due to How Those Who Pitch Ideas Are Often Ripped to Shreds

    I have to admit, so far, when idea people split off and form their own private labels after having had some success with a big developer/publisher - they have been fairly lackluster. Yeah, ideas are important. So are resources, and not all constraints are bad.

    How to Run Seekee on a Windows Computer

    Are any of us AI, really? What is reality? In a universe of red and blue pills, why are we restricting ourselves to just two "realities"? Who is to say which is the generated and which is true, since we all seek to manipulate our surroundings no matter how it is presented to us?

    How to Run Seekee on a Windows Computer

    I've run Bluestacks before. I don't have any reason to any longer, but when I did, it worked more or less as expected. It's a virtualized environment, but I wouldn't make any claims as to how sandboxed it is. Wasn't Microsoft supposed to have the Android Store available semi-natively on Windows...

    Halo: Campaign Evolved Early Access Starts Thursday. Here’s what you need to know.

    I can't really say I disagree with this. There are some that are squarely on the publisher - like decisions to force inclusion of DRM, or in-game advertising, or saying "We need more buzzwords" - but at the end of the day, the end result is the direct product of the developers. There are always...

    Microsoft Has Begun Testing Ad-Supported Free Xbox Game Streaming

    You guessed correctly - I am too old for that too. I don't watch much screen content at all honestly - occasionally a show on HBO or Netflix, and then games on the PC. Forums and newsfeeds when I'm just stuck with just the phone... and ... apart from what is required for work, I try to find...

    For cars owners who have KARR alarms

    I don't think I do - but that is kind of the scary part here, you may have one and not know it. Many dealers just blanket install them on everything, and do a good enough job of hiding them. And if they can't convince you to pay for it... they just leave it in there.
