    Blizzard Cancels Blizzcon

    intel 13th and 14th gen xx900 and xx700 may have defective cores causing crashes in gaming

    China unveils world’s 1st diesel engine with 53.09% thermal efficiency

    This is the previous model of that engine it doesn’t seem terrible… But I understand it uses Ceramic ball bearings to lower friction which would not be fun to replace. https://en.weichaipower.com/product_business/powertrain/engine/truck/dump_truck/202003/t20200326_61634.html

    The Apple Vision Pro goes on sale in the US on February 2 for $3,499

    The Python 2, has me reinterested in the game, and my Rift S is old... and the Display port requirement is annoying as finding a good laptop that has one that is actually wired through something other than the tiny onboard GPU is tough.

    Unreal 5.4 Update now available

    While I agree take a look at most current games and features like Ray tracing aside, if you leave it and upscaling and frame Gen off. Put basic raster graphical presets to their highest, then to their lowest and you start seeing not only very little performance difference but also not a huge...

    The Apple Vision Pro goes on sale in the US on February 2 for $3,499

    Crushes it in every measurable fashion and is supposedly even better than what was leaked as the Hololense 3 while being significantly cheaper, as the Hololense 2 can reach $6k each.

    The Apple Vision Pro goes on sale in the US on February 2 for $3,499

    They aren’t any more or less fragile than the others, but I have no clue what Apple was thinking with the launch of these things, it’s very half-assed. All substance but no show. But in the case of Hollywood none of the other AR units have the screen quality and color accuracy they need so...

    Two years after launch Windows 11 adoption is still waaaay behind Windows 10

    Yeah I just got mad at it signed into the Intune Admin portal, created a support ticket, and it went from there. I had gone through their guide a half dozen times and gotten nowhere so I figured before I sign a bigger contract for big money why not give them a shot.

    intel 13th and 14th gen xx900 and xx700 may have defective cores causing crashes in gaming

    The chip will happily suck up everything you throw at it. Intel builds the “oh shit” protections on the CPU but just like everyone else the BIOS controls the power flow. Processors are like goldfish, they will eat everything you throw at them till they pop.
