    muh eye strain - 17"+ IPS laptop recommendations?

    I have an IT consulting business and in the past year I find I am on a laptop working on-site 50+ hours a week. My vision checks out ok but I am having a lot of trouble with eyestrain. I am looking at 1080p 17"+ laptops with IPS screens. Software I regularly use does not support scaling, so...

    What are chances of Vanilla Android on S8? False touch detects?

    This is probably pure speculation - but I wonder if Samsung's false touch detection for the rolled screen edges on the newer phones is software or hardware-based? Could stock Android be run on an S8 without tons of false clicks when you hold it on the sides? I'm still on an almost 4-year-old...

    Will there ever be a smaller Android with flagship features again?

    I am still using my almost 4 year old Nexus 5. I have a pretty decent case of carpal (umbral whatever) tunnel in my right wrist, which means I am a complete pussy and heavier phones really irritate my wrist. There seems to be a lot of cool stuff coming out like the almost edge-less displays and...

    Modern POE VOIP Phones over Cat 5 Question

    Small Expandable 10gbe Switch + Large Expandable 1gbps Switch?

    I am about to add 3 new servers into an existing network, which is currently all on 1gbps ethernet. All of the new servers are SSD-based and to me it makes sense to go with 10gbps coming out of the servers into a switch, and then 1gbps out to the workstations. The new server location is about...

    Are Dell Ultrasharps unique in their matte coating?

    I bought a Crossover 434k a few weeks ago and I can't stand it. The reflection gives me terrible eye strain. This has been the case my whole life with glossy but I read that the Crossover was only "semi gloss." I even ordered a custom cut matte protector from www.photodon.com (great product...

    Just made the switch from 970 SLI to 980 TI

    I know this is beating a dead horse, but I regularly see threads about it (there's one right now!) I just swapped from 2 x EVGA 970 FTW cards to an Asus 980ti Strix. For anyone on the fence, just do it. I did some preliminary testing this week (which I will post) with my 970s and in...

    Source for custom size matte film?

    Is anyone aware of a place where I could buy a roll of anti-reflective coating? Similar to what they offer for phones and laptop screens but where I could cut my own size? Anyone on Alibaba wants me to buy a couple thousand dollars worth.

    Vcore on 6700k Questions

    I purchased a 6700k and ASUS Z170-AR from Fry's yesterday. I've gone through the BIOS, HWMonitor, and HWINFO64. All of them are reporting 1.34-1.36 vcore under load, with HWINFO64 sometimes showing as high as 1.4v. I have every cpu-related BIOS setting at stock. Is this normal? I read in...

    Starcraft 2: Legacy of the Void Beta

    Anyone else playing? I can't find a thread. As far as I can tell this is available for anyone who pre-ordered.

    I got all this stuff last year to mess around with X58 (never had one when it was current) and do some virtualization, but never really got around to it. 980X is originally out of an HP Elite tower.
