I'm sure this is news that'll make a lot of people here happy. Anyone? No one? Anyway, Linux has for the first time hit 4% market share world wide. We're not including ChromeOS which is at 2.26%, and Unknown which is at 6.11%, cause we don't count those as Linux. Mac users dropped from 21%...

Hugh Jeffreys made a video where he goes into detail in how Apple has been anti repair and pro e-waste for the past 15 years. Things like pentalobe screws to gluing everything to serialization of components. He even mentions how their soldered SSD's are failing, which makes the devices...

I'm surprised nobody posted this, since it's getting a little old. A hacker group claims they have hacked Sony and have their data, and will release it if not paid. Keyword here is "claimed". https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/a-ransomware-group-claims-to-have-beached-all-sony-systems/...

The was voted in unanimously. "European Union is moving ahead with new regulation that would require Apple to make iPhone batteries that are easily replaceable by users. The EU parliament has voted in favour of this plan."...

Wonder if this means Americans will benefit from this too? "Apple has claimed that sideloading will "undermine the privacy and security protections" that iPhone users rely on, leaving people vulnerable to malware, scams, data tracking, and other issues. However, Apple must comply with the DMA...

Turns out Apple billboards telling you they have the best privacy is not to be trusted. Google does a better job respecting your privacy than Apple when you switch that setting on your device. The problem was spotted by two independent researchers at the software company Mysk, who found that...

Alyssa Rosenzweig who is working on the Mesa Linux GPU driver for Apple's M1/M2 has found similarities to PowerVR. To the point where she is borrowing from the Linux PowerVR driver. https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/18421...

So it seems cloud gaming is not the future. Who would have known? "Google Stadia hasn't been as successful as the Internet super-giant wanted it to be. While the game streaming service did end up getting its foot in the door for a little while, it hasn't been making waves since its release...

Should I start saying that this isn't an Apple unique issue before other people do? That other companies use Foxconn to make their products? That other manufacturers are just as evil. No need for suicide nets this time. Apple makes so much money partly because they'll do anything to keep...

If you’re grandfathered into the original $5 a month “Founders” tier or pay $100 a year for “Priority” access, then you aren't getting 60 fps. We somehow missed the part where Nvidia raised the monthly fee to $10 per month earlier this year. Even still, Nvidia now offers $200-a-year tier that...

All PS5 root keys have been extracted. I know that piracy potential is the first thing that comes to mind but if I were Sony I'd be worried that someone ports Linux and you can mine crypto on it.

M1 Macs are having their screens crack when opening or closing the laptops. Most users are getting their screens replaced by Apple. **EDIT** Seems no recall is issued...

Nothing concrete but it does seem like Sony is moving to release PS4 exclusives to PC. https://www.theverge.com/2021/9/13/22672280/nvidia-leak-geforce-now-playstation-games-god-of-war

It only plays 2D games and some graphics are broken but it does have impressive performance and even gets into Dark Souls, albeit with no 3D rendering. The emulator is called Spine and the developer is currently anonymous. https://twitter.com/notzecoxao/status/1435224231172784137

The group chat they were having was interrupted by one using an Android phone and not for the reason you'd believe. The Android phone crashed the entire group chat. "At one point center Thon Maker didn't have an iPhone, messing up the team's blue-bubble iPhone group chat," Fader wrote in the...

Resident Evil 8 has performance issues on PC and up until recently nobody knew why. Now we know why and it's because of DRM in the game. Specifically Denuvo since a crack team had it removed and now the game is fantastically better. A reminder that pirates have a better experience than those...

HP took top spot in PC sales with 11 million units sold in total and an annual growth up an astonishing 122.6%. I wonder if that's the reason Apple decided to limit their new macOS Monterey Features from Intel Macs? "Other companies boasting big growth numbers include Samsung at 116% and...

Some Xbox Series X games are now required to be online to play, specifically single player games. Did Microsoft not learn from the Xbox One?

Apple's like, "what silicon sortage?". "The next generation of Mac processors designed by Apple entered mass production this month, sources familiar with the matter told Nikkei Asia, bringing the U.S. tech giant one step closer to its goal of replacing Intel-designed central processing units...

"Our movie-like story kicked off with Chinese authorities detaining a fishing boat anchored near Hong Kong International Airport. Men on the fishing boat were swapping cargo over to a speedboat. When authorities approached, the smugglers hopped into the speedboat and fled. While the customs...

Judge Edward Davila has decided to let the “flexgate” lawsuit go forward, ruling that Apple should have known that they would fail and yet kept selling them anyhow. “The court finds that the allegations of pre-release testing in combination with the allegations of substantial customer...

Surprised this hasn't been posted but it seems that Nvidia's financial reports show that they've been selling to miners. About $175 million dollars worth of ampere graphic cards. Something changed in Ethereum V2.0 that is now better off on Nvidia's ampere GPU's...

Surprised nobody posted this but so far the Xbox Series X is loading faster than the PS5, but these are all games on the PS4 and Xbox One. So these games aren't using any “next gen optimization”. Still interesting to see that the raw performance of the SSDs aren't that different...

Just as the title says. Lots of familiar things for Linux users.

Look how cute their death march is.

Alexandro Sanchez the creator of Orbital PS4 emulator shows it booting into safe mode and showing an error. Actually shows some new interesting tech that's going into the emulator.

Anyone read this article? It might explain some issues people experience with Live TV. http://izanbardprince.wordpress.com/2009/08/13/microsoft-windows-7-cable-television-and-the-so-called-playready-drm-scam/

And that's why people pirate. AVGN got it right as to why DVD's are Bullsh*t. Just a warning the nerd does use bad language. http://blip.tv/file/2157862/

I have their WC-202 water cooling kit and I recently upgraded to a AMD Athlon 64 X2 3600 AM2. The water cooler doesn't fit onto AM2. I tried to E-Mail Evercool but they haven't E-Mailed back. I can't find their phone number. Does anyone know it?

I've checked ATI's website and AMD's. Where can I find the 690 and SB600 drivers?

I just ordered myself a new motherboard and everything but I hadn't thought about the water block being able to mount to the AM2 socket. Will this fit or will I need get myself a new bracket or water block?

My services and startup programs stopped starting up when I restarted my computer. When I tried to manually start the service it said file not found. I found the "-" without quotes in front of C:\ or "C:\ . I fixed it by searching the registry for -C: or -"C: and removing the "-". Was...

I have two 54G routers. One is a DLink DI-624 that I'm using for routing and hooking up my main PCs. The other is a Belkin F5D7231-4 which I'm trying to use as a wireless bridge so that I could connect my Xbox and use the shared internet connection. I'm not having any luck getting these...

Can anyone recommend me a general car forum that's very popular and of course free?

Anyone have a link to benchmarks showing the performance of NTFS when you change the cluster size? I wanna see if reducing or increasing the cluster size has any real benefits.

Is there anyway to stream Live TV from MCE to other XP machines? If so does anyone have a guide?

A trend I've been noticing in games is that they look great. Graphics have never looked better. Almost every game now comes with HDR and realistic physics. Though one other trend I noticed is that games are now shorter. If they aren't short then they suck. What I'm saying is that game...

I just love it when they give their opinions on this stuff. http://firingsquad.com/features/xbox_360_six_months_later/ My favorite quote.
