    Help: Recommend me a monitor (27-32")

    I went with HP X27q @ 27" QHD (1440), IPS panel with 166hz refresh. Was on Amazon for $210. Had it for about two weeks? I'm kinda glad I didn't go 32", the X27q has very thin bezels and 1440p is game changing for productivity. Gaming performance didn't take as large of a hit as I'd thought, but...

    Square one again passing the blame

    Because I want an RPG to have a somewhat coherent story or because I'm tired of in-your-face subversion in Western media at large? Try to be specific next time, please. Going by the other posts, it seems like SE has somewhat unrealistic expectations in their corporate "targets" as...

    Square one again passing the blame

    Having fresh blood is probably not enough. They also have to dump Nomura. Fire him, management, time ghosts, loot boxes/gaccha shit (Ever Crisis), NFTs all into the sun. Square-Enix is approaching Shinra levels of greed. So I don't know that a Sony acquisition would help. Couldn't say. I wish...

    Square one again passing the blame

    A company's reputation is an important factor in making sales in certain segments and I think Squeenix might have botched things up with how FF7R (and KH3?) was handled, among various other variables. They certainly don't do themselves any favors with their press releases, that's for sure. I...

    Help: Recommend me a monitor (27-32")

    Just browing amazon, Samsung does have a lot of good entry offerings in the 1920x1080 realm on the cheap with some bonus features, like slightly higher refresh rate (75hz) or curved (do the manufacturers all adhere to the ####R system of curvature?) Samsung T35F Series (LF27T350FHNXZA) 27"...

    Help: Recommend me a monitor (27-32")

    Been out of the game for awhile. Hell, my first post on [H] in many years! Been using my laptops for awhile but now I've got a new place and new machine. At present, I'm using a 27" Toshiba TV as the display for my rig. I have my Samsung 16:10 22" TN monitors from back in 2007... one needs...

    Cable Companies Shortening Ad Breaks In Response to Cord Cutters

    Too little, too late. They had a chance to address this ten years ago. Possibly earlier than that. Kids are watching content on their hand-me-down tablets. Bonus is that you don't have to simply watch things with an interactive device. Close process, spin up STEAM or launch some educational...

    Intel Hades Canyon NUC Benchmarks Leak

    Yes, the Atom has more performance than ARMv8 Cortex A53 but Burticus was not suggesting that ARM SoC beats Intel Atom in performance... just for what his goal was that the RPi 3 with ARMv8 w/ 1024MB of memory is at a much lower price point and fulfills his needs in the goal or niche Burticus...

    Made a folding sim chair.

    Is that a seat and seat mounting bracket for a '86 Monte Carlo?

    PSU review sites

    I'm asking for a friend because my memory has failed me. My IRC friend keeps claiming to run into issues and is quick to blame the PSU. (his last POST problem was cheapo memory, being pulled from the slot it booted but now he's claiming won't POST now due to ethernet card) Aren't there two or...

    Manned Spaceflight Is A Waste Of Resources

    I don't get it the whole anti-space exploration/NASA thing. Even conditionals like anti-meatsack launches. Is this a political thing? People need to stop being like bean counters and being so myopic. Three words: side spun technologies. You see it with the closest thing to megacorps that we have...

    Upgrade path from LGA775/E8400?

    PC Hound Part List CPU: AMD Athlon X4 880k ($91.1 @ NCIX) Motherboard: MSI A68HI AC ($79.99 @ Amazon) Memory: G.SKILL 8GB (2 x 4GB) Sniper Series (DDR3 2133, CAS Latency 11) ($32.99 @ Newegg) Power Supply: SILVERSTONE 450W ST45SF ($59.99 @ NCIX) Case: SilverStone Milo Series ML08B-H...

    Upgrade path from LGA775/E8400?

    In video games and general computing applications I find myself CPU and memory bound. With games, my CPU is starting to feel its age. I bought ARMA 3 while it was on sale on STEAM and disappointed I could barely play it. I launch STEAM, Firefox, and a game and things get really bogged down...

    NASA Planning For A Disastrous Asteroid Strike

    NASA does not receive enough in funding. It's less than 1% of the federal budget. Also, yes, they do collaborate with the major aircraft firms, USAF, DARPA, and the DoD, to name a few. I don't really understand why you would want to dismantle them at all. Despite their poor funding they...

    VGA In Memoriam

    Erm, I saw this on Hackaday's RSS feed and VGA isn't dead or anything, so... A bit redundant, I suppose the Front Page News forum is becoming an aggregator in the same likeness as say, Buzzfeed or something. :confused:
