Trilogy? But there are like 7 of them?

I can't speak to Samsung. There is usually a secret keypress or something to get there. On my LG C3 it was a matter of mashing the mute button several times rapidly, and this brought up the hidden settings menu, but honestly, there isn't whole lot of useful stuff on that menu. It DID help...

There is nothing sanctimonious about them at all. China is growing their military capabilities very rapidly while at the same time threatening just about every nation on their borders with territorial water claims that violate UNCLOS agreements and other nations territorial waters, not to...

Will be interesting to see if anyone wants to play these titles with the increased latency streaming entails.

Yeah, I have nothing against game streaming in theory. If it enables gaming for some that otherwise would be out of reach, I'm all for it. I don't think it is for me though. I mean, I guess some kind of casual game not highly dependent on latency could be enjoyed that way, but for me that...

True, and if they are doing this on purpose, by putting weak protections in such that they can easily be overridden, that might just be a violation of the law. It certainly is a violation of the spirit of the law. For this to be legit, the capacity needs to be reduced by methods such as...

Kids also have more time on their hands. These days I'll be lucky if I can get through 2-3 AAA titles in a year. But I remember being a kid and playing a large variety of diverse titles, many of which I didn't even like all that much, just because I had all that time to fill. As I have become...

Not my thing. I'd rather just buy the few games I like every year than perpetually subscribe to getting random titles I may or may not like, but having more options is always good I suppose. I can't imagine Sony would be thrilled about having Game Pass on the Playstation.

"bypass export controls" sounds like a needlessly incendiary headline. It sounds like they just designed a special version of the GPU that MEETS the export control restrictions.

The Rtings review says it is BGR. https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/samsung/odyssey-ark-s55bg970 They have a section on text clarity too.

Oh, interesting. I've never come across those. Very well might.

Heh. Glad I'm not into the the "mouse switch wear-out test" game. I wasn't going to buy any Diablo game anyway, but I am even more sure I won't. Seriously, if this is the way things are going, I might just go back to my old bad ways I haven't visited since I was a teenager in the 90's, except...

Yep. the short hand C2, G3, M3 etc. names are just short hand. They are not the full part number. I don't have a perfect picture of how they translate into LG's part numbers, but anywhere you'd buy a TV, they use the shorthand in the main title (and probably list the part number in the spec...

So LG grades it's OLED TV's into thee grades. C, G and M. C is the lowest cost (bit still not cheap). M is the most expensive. G falls somewhere in the middle. All of them are available in a range of sizes, but the smallest panel (42") is only available as a C model. At least the last time...

Yep, it's all about the subpixel layout. TV's in general are bad compared to screens marketed as monitors. All screens have some issues with subpixel layouts. Windows is pretty good at optimizing for screens with traditional RGB layouts. That's what ClearType was all about. But many...

Maybe you can mine Chia on it? :p I suspect the reason why CPU's like - for example - the 5800x3d are so much faster than the 5800x despite using the same arch and being clocked 200-400Mhz lower (depending on boost) has everything to do with better utilization of the cores. The cores...

That's cool and all. Now make it 1TB in size :p All joking aside, I bet there is an application for the EPYC X variants and their 768MB of L3 cache. I'm not quite sure what it is yet, but I bet there is one.

I know it's trendy in displays to want "all the hertz" but I am perfectly happy with 120hz. Heck, I'd be perfectly happy with 90hz. I still maintain that 60fpps is an acceptable minimum, at least for single player titles, and I really see no reason to ever exceed 120hz, even if you are the...

Exactly. (I tried to sneak in an edit to my above post to add more content before anyone read it, but I failed :p )

True, but look at the numbers. It increased to a "current load" of 4,177 with a peak of 33,467 players. About 65 million users use steam daily, and there are about 125 million monthly active users, so even while this is a sevenfold increase in Half Life players, we are still only seeing 0.02%...
