    Stadia not so good after all?

    So, inside of Final Fantasy 14 - an online MMO, there is a minigame called Chocobo Racing, in which you control a giant racing ostrich (it's Japanese, if you aren't familiar with Final Fantasy lore I couldn't even begin to explain). Now, of course, being an MMO, it's online, and all your...

    The Outer Worlds (New Obsidian RPG)

    Want to play this, but ... I want to be lazy on my couch, and I don't feel like spending $60 on the PS4 edition. May sub to XBL once the first major "fix all the broken stuff" patch comes out, unless I see it pop up on a good deal for PS4 around the holidays.

    Is there a way to output sound by HDMI without video ?

    ARC has been around since 2009 / HDMI 1.4. From my understanding, eARC is just higher bandwidth than ARC, won't solve this problem. Unfortunately, I can't answer your last question. I hope someone else can weigh in for you on that.

    * Basic Guide to Improving Case Airflow*

    Air flow on the CPU HSF isn't the same as air flow through the case. A HSF isn't typically directly pulling from or drafting out of a case vent. It's circulating air inside the case. The HSF isn't creating a differential pressure through the case or driving air in or out - and that's the...

    Finaly Switched :) any tips be great!

    This is really good advice. The only other thing I would add is not to be afraid of the command line - most things in Unix/Linux are actually easier on the command line once you know the right commands.

    Motherboard RAID 1

    For both Linux and Windows - for me - boot drive is always a fast single drive. If that drive goes bad, yeah, you have downtime. But it's also pretty lean - just the OS and as few other files as you can get away with. If it dies, just a clean re-install and then re-point the data directories in...

    NordVPN Encryption Keys Stolen

    So how do you get your kink porn then? 8mm? But seriously, VPNs are useful for more than just obfuscating your tracks on the web. It's a necessity if you wanted to use an open WiFi Hotspot (and even then I don't recommend that). I do take your point about paying for someone else's service - but...

    Motherboard RAID 1

    I tried once like 20 years ago and ... it failed fantastically. I've run software raid ever since. That said, I'm sure a lot has changed in 20 years.

    Forget Moore’s Law—Chipmakers Are More Worried About Heat and Power Issues

    If you look at per-core performance, it's not exactly been looking good for a while. A big reason why everything shifted to more cores, because we have really been beyond the low hanging fruit with regard to single core performance for a while. Now, Moore's Law doesn't explicitly describe...
