    Star Citizen Developer Calls Real-Time Ray Tracing "A Massive Headache"

    That's a shame as it really a perfect game for it. So many super shiny reflective surfaces.

    Sprint Sues AT&T over Its Fake 5G Branding

    Good! Tech people might understand the lie but the average customer is just going to go "oh I have 5G, that's one more than 4G, must be better".

    Microsoft Begs You to Stop Using Internet Explorer

    I work for a large company that has IE11 as their only officially supported browser. Not just for legacy! Brand new web apps are being created today with IE11 support as a requirement. They can say whatever they want but what MS really needs to do is EOL it yesterday. Sadly MS won't. Their...

    PSA: Anthem's Open Demo Is Live until Tomorrow

    Sadly no. It is possible to play by yourself but the missions aren't designed for it. Bullet sponge bosses with perfect aim and relentless fire combined with infinite re-spawning minions. You really need more people to divide the attention up so that somebody has a chance to get in some good...

    PSA: Anthem's Open Demo Is Live until Tomorrow

    Anthem doesn't have any RTX features yet. I have a 1080, so similar performance to the 2070. Frame rate is generally above 30FPS in 1440p on Ultra. I tried running at 4K but it was dropping below 30 too much to be comfortable to play. Adjusting the settings didn't make much difference in...

    I am still using my iPad 2 from 2014. Are people upgrading iPads?

    Do yourself a favor and find a secondhand Air or Air 2, or pick up a base model when it goes on sale. The retina screen makes a huge difference even just for watching videos. I have an Air 1 that I still get a lot of use out of. I watch videos and do some web browsing, mainly reading...

    Microsoft Makes Final Push to Rid World of Internet Explorer 10

    Can they kill IE11 while they are at it? All of the modern web applications I build at work have IE11 as the officially supported browser and it makes me sad.

    Windows 10's Live Tiles Dead? Windows Lite Will Reportedly Feature a New Start Menu

    I thought live tiles were a neat concept when they first came out but I never got into them. Too much delay and distracting movement. I just use the live tiles area to pin shortcuts to my programs so I don't have to find them in the list. If you want that feature now give Stardock Fences a...

    Intel Revamping Its Control Panel for Integrated Graphics Speaks to a Larger Strategy

    Love that screen shot of recommended settings ... 720p everything on low. Maybe when they bring some actual power to the table things will get interesting. If Apple can bring "XBox One S" GPU power to a slim tablet maybe Intel can manage to get out of the PS2 era with their high-power desktops.

    Heavily Overclocked RTX 2080 Ti Averages 51 FPS in 3DMark Raytracing Benchmark

    Star Citizen needs this.

    Introducing the NVIDIA Control Panel Windows Store App

    Although the windows store distribution is a little odd, there is a advantage in splitting the components up. Maybe then I won't have to download the control panel that looks like it hasn't been updated in 10 years with every driver package? Maybe with the control panel split out that means...

    Dutch Police Can Remotely Recover Autonomous Vehicles with the Thief Inside

    No thanks, that's how you get your car back with a trashed interior. I would prefer that the car allow the thief normal control until the police have intercepted it, then it can pull over and open all of the doors. Or it can just immediately pull over and open the doors. The autonomous car...

    Sony's Mobile Division Is Losing More than the Gaming Division Is Making

    Same that they're floundering, they seem to be the only manufacturer making full-featured "small" phones anymore. If you can call something with a 5" screen "small".

    Six Years Later, Star Citizen Is Still Raking It In

    I'm a backer (cheapest package) and feel like I'm getting my entertainment value from that money just screwing around with these alphas and watching the updates. This update was amazing. A bunch of the worst qualities in games all in one stage demo! Bad/slow dialog from the quest giver. Fetch...

    High Refresh Rate or Overall Image Quality?

    Give a high refresh monitor a try if you can. Some people think it's the best thing ever even for desktop use (scrolling and dragging windows will be smoother). I personally think high DPI and image quality are far more important. I increase settings in games until I'm below 60FPS anyway, so...
