• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

    Is Deckard dead? Well after a second opinion, its condition was upgraded to... "Alive"

    Valve will tether it to some explosive ace(s) up their sleeve, like Half-Life 3/L4D3/Portal3 (the "full" experience, or something).

    ChatGPT linked to declining academic performance and memory loss in new study

    I love it. I also love that I didn't have access to this in my schooling.

    Any safe ways to sell a GPU online?

    I have a new EVGA 3080 Ti FTW3 Ultra I'm selling, with a few interested buyers, none of them local (unfortunately). I'm wary of selling a high-value item like this online via shipping/Paypal/eBay/etc. given the horror stories I've heard of sellers getting scammed due to payment services nearly...

    Does distance between m2 slot and CPU make a difference?

    Generally, does distance between m2 slot and CPU bear any impact whatsoever in terms of latency/performance/response time? Specifically, on a Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Master (with a WD Black SN750 1TB NVMe drive), there are 3x m2 slots. I've RTFM already (attached) and have had the SN750 plugged...

    How to disable annoying mouse middle-click "autoscroll" function?

    Is there a way to disable the utterly annoying mouse middle-click autoscroll function? It's activated by pressing the middle mouse button, usually in web browsers (but also other programs). When pressed, it changes the mouse cursor to an omnidirectional free-flow cursor, and wherever the pointer...

    Twitch Majorly Leaked

    Twitch got leaked, and leaked hard: source code in its entirety -- not only Twitch's, but other Amazon/Twitch subsidiary projects like Amazon's Steam competitor, et al -- login/payment data (change your P's and 2(FA)'s), and the real juice: streamer payout data. It was no secret xQc was making...

    Free Battlefield 4 Standard Origin Key for Amazon Prime Members

    New freebie: Battlefield 1: In the Name of the Tsar DLC free on Origin for a limited time. Can claim it even without owning Battlefield 1 in your library. Hoping Origin gives out B1 for free sometime soon :D

    Are there any >30" 1440p monitors without VA's ghosts-in-the-monitors?

    Really appreciate the suggestions, these look great! Genuinely excited. Any thoughts on the Samsung G7 vs. LG 32GP850? Both look like great monitors and seems they fared comparatively on Rtings. If recent sales are any indication, looks like it may be possible to snag a new G7 for mid $500's...

    A fresh new Firefox is here

    The day "Tree Style Tabs" -- a more or less Firefox-exclusive addon -- stops working is the day I never ride another fox of fire again. "Container tabs" has been pretty handy, as well, no longer having to juggle multiple browsers/incognitos to get separate cookie sessions. As for the privacy...

    Are there any >30" 1440p monitors without VA's ghosts-in-the-monitors?

    ...and with Freesync or G-sync? I grabbed a Dell 32" 1440p Freesync (S3220DGF) last year only to discover that the thing is straight up haunted with all the ghosting going on in it. A shame, as it looks great otherwise. Though its Freesync feature is also pretty janky (unofficial using an...

    The last train of Microsoft

    I wouldn't hold your breath. I can't think of anything Microsoft has been successfully competitive with in the consumer market in the recent decade or so that didn't already have a monopolistic champ-by-default stranglehold on the market, e.g., Windows and Office. Not even Google can dent those...

    Oh Snap, Won Newegg Shuffle....To Buy or not to buy

    There's no way this is over in ~2 months. Because it's not just a matter of suppliers climbing back to standard production output. Demand right now is heavily skewed due to a year and a half of people who have reached their "Time to upgrade" windows but have held off because of the...

    Luciferin. DIY bias lighting for your monitor.

    This looks fun, I'll have to give this a go! I have some spare Arduinos, MSP430, and Raspberry Pi's I'll have to see if I can adapt to it.

    Is this old Dell monitor repairable?

    If you're able to follow simple instructions off a tutorial, you have the skills to do it / learn it. If you search Youtube for "How to test power supply", you'll see a smattering of how-to videos showing you how to do this with your multimeter, able to do it in probably less than a minute --...
