    Target joins Best Buy and discontinues sales of DVD's and Blurays

    I recently bought The Abyss and True Lies on 4K disc. I don’t know if I will even open them. I downloaded a copy from torrents so I could use as I wanted. Mostly just wanted to support the artist. No regrets.

    Apple Plans To Overhaul Entire Mac Line With AI-Focused M4 Chips

    Maybe it’s a usage case thing. Both my M1 MacBook Air and M2 Mini have 8GB of RAM. Has never once been an issue for me. RAM is designed to negate the effects of slow storage. Get fast enough storage and that need becomes less evident.

    AI Developers eyeing gaming GPUs

    This is good news. We’ve had some brainstorming sessions at work lately about how we could manufacture in the future using A.I. generated pictures of dogs wearing hats while playing basketball. We have some solid leads so far.

    HDMI Forum to AMD: No, you can’t make an open source HDMI 2.1 driver

    I'd venture to guess that had AMD not invented AMD64 at the moment in time that it did, Intel was probably getting ready to revoke it's x86 license from AMD.

    Going from iTunes to Apple Music and Apple TV program on Windows. Can you share your library?

    Been messing with this for a week. Apple Music on Windows is garbage at worst and pre-release beta at best. The Windows version is *only* the main window part of the app. So any feature that would require a different location other than the main program is missing. For example turning on Column...

    Apparently NAND prices are too low, so Samsung is cutting production by half.

    Wondering if I did good by buying a 4TB for $230 recently. Maybe they will come up with something new like a Moobibyte to allow for shrinkflation…less NAND, same great price.

    Is it safe to use other USB Type C Charger

    USB-C negotiates the connection. If the device and charger are capable of agreeing on a different voltage and current rating than the baseline USB standard, then they will take advantage of better power delivery possible with USB-C. But if either side can’t say what it is capable of then you...

    Going from iTunes to Apple Music and Apple TV program on Windows. Can you share your library?

    We just got the iPhone 15's and when trying to sync the phone, iTunes said we could no longer use iTunes and would need to use the newer programs to access iPhone 15's. I have been using iTunes on Windows to share my music and movies out to other computers and Apple TV's on the home network. I...

    30tb hdd for consumers this year

    So in 4 years when they come off server lease, they should be very reasonable price 😎👍 I’m currently upgrading to 12TB SAS drives at $100 each. Those should hold me over.

    Apple wants $73 million from Epic

    If you owned a store, how much would you keep after the sale of products made by other companies? Would you keep any of the sale price? Just enough to cover operating costs? Or would you profit? You can’t sell anything if you don’t have a distribution channel. Epic is free to build its own...

    "Triangulation" infected dozens of iPhones belonging to employees of Moscow-based Kaspersky

    The iPhone nor iCloud were hacked for the Fappening. The users were hacked and passwords were collected. But if people were selective in how they discussed it, it gave the perception that Apple products had been compromised. And THAT was the story many wanted. We just had to see a soccer players...

    Rambus Advances Data Center Server Performance with Industry-First Gen4 DDR5 RCD

    Intel is making chips that are space heaters. Rambus is in the news. I feel 20 years younger. Any moment now AMD should announce the ability to run 128 bit programs on 64 bit CPU’s.

    Sony still working with the FTC to stop the Microsoft Activision merger.

    I keep hearing that Sony is the dominator in console sales. Isn’t it usually the little guy that says he is the victim?
