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...

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...

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...

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...

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"...

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...

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...

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...

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

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...

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...

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...

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 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...

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:

The guy used to be a pundit of companies and CEOs and apparently this is the first time someone with thin skin (Elon Musk) couldn't handle criticism and lashed out. He cried in interview when some famous astronauts said they were skeptical about commercial spaceflight. This would be akin if...

Yeah, I mean why should we try to advance scientific understanding and research? How can this possibly be justified? Just disband NASA, retire the Space Shuttle program so Russian Federation has a monopoly on getting materials and crew to the ISS since the Soyuz launch vehicle is the most...

You should try ARMA.

They make it sound like it's a neural implant, William Gibson style, straight out of Neuromancer... instead of what it really is: optics and a screen attached to your face. These marketing assholes are going to ruin the new wave of head mounted display technologies with this inane crap...

Does anyone here actually use Dish? When I happen to be watching television in passing (stream life, baby!), I chuckle at those commercials that claim Dish is technologically superior to cable. The only person who I know uses Dish is my aunt and she is not very technologically keen. On a day...

The science involved is mainly Cognitive Science. Apparently, some spy agencies are able to hook you up to some sort of EEG or fMRI type device and flash pictures in front of your eyes on a projector. If you've seen the image before, a specific section of your brain associated with memory...

I guess people should be developing thicker skin, there are very serious implications of technologies that are already developed for the destruction of mankind. You know the whole 'self-destruction' part of the Drake Equation? I can't imagine their tone being more alarmist than say, that of...

Sounds like a terrible game in this case. I think someone would have better luck mapping X3: Terran Conflict memory to clients in the same way people have made previous GTA games multiplayer.

Just get X3: Terran Conflict and have it over with. :D

Huh, I have a key for this Star Citizen thing I got with AMD Gold with new video card, haven't used it yet and sad to hear that it sounds like it is worthless.

Sorry, I thought Daikatana made me John Romero's bitch. :D Also, you are right. PCs have been TV compatible for yonks. I never understood why people feel the need, I guess Lego is scary. Although I heard something about a FF7 remake? Shut up and take my money! ;)

K&R C Expert C Programming: Deep C Secrets, Van Der Linden the later goes into in-depth topics, examples, exercises, good supplement if you know the syntax and concepts pretty well but you want to nail them in C. The nitty-gritty like differences between arrays and pointers, chapter 8 is...

I'm going to be working on a project where, well, quite frankly, I will be doing work out in the booines or the rural south. Is there a 3G unlimited data plan that isn't stupid expensive and then after 4GB/s, throttles you down to 128kb/s? I'll be doing lots of Skype, uploading large files...

The Sephardic, Ashkenazic, and Mizrahi. If you have a subscription to [H]ardOCP it is amazing how oblivious some people are regarding this, especially in soapbox. Well, maybe criminal justice courses have requirements or a particular stress on statistics. Sounds useful for accurately...

The Soyuz rocket family, derived from the R-7 ICBM, namely the Soyuz-U has a great track record. 727 launches, only 19 failures. Across the entire Soyuz launch vehicle family they have a good track record. The problem though is with the US government totally underfunding NASA. As it stands...

People metaphorically fellatio this guy just for stealing the designs of Braun, Bang & Olufsen, Dieter Ram, and probably more industrial designers. Afterwards, they share the spunk. Not sure how stealing a industrial design style with the leadership of good technical behind you is a mean feat? I...

Anyone remember the original Rainbow Six? With the insanely accurate AI and multiplayer coop/team DM shooting guy with a Heartbeat Sensor out? Good times. Sad to see the IP drift to total crap. TANGO DOWN!!!

Some places supposedly aren't "diverse" enough. There are market forces at play and yeah, you'd probably have a hard time finding a woman who writes COBOL. The problem with the whole diversity thing is that businesses are not pro-actively trying to prevent women and minorities into the...

This will go over well. :rolleyes: Didn't Ellen Pao step down from Reddit few weeks ago because of something along these lines? I mean her and her husband are scam artists who have law cases for 'diversity' and 'discrimination' which is how they're rich, so...

Hmm, I never thought of that aspect. I think people looking at this at first glance will assume this will be a boon, a positive thing; taking for granted the "human element". Yup. I have too many hours logged into combat flight sims. Something that might be desirable is to add some sort...

Actually, I was musing aloud. A musical instrument is not always a sound investment of one's time... or even what someone wants to do, sort of like how S&M is not something I want to do. ;) I'm glad rhythm games like Rock Band have software based algorithms and are charted out in...

THEY can do it to fighter pilots, but not fast food workers? :p ;) :D I forgot about the electronic warfare aspect, yeah, Iran grounded a drone by spoofing GPS... guess that drone didn't have backup inertial guidance or someone was sleeping at the... stick? Heh.

I wonder on average, how much time people put into a faux-playing-rhythm game? I've seen people on STEAM who are casual throw many hours at very sandbox games, I can't think of anything more sandbox than an actual instrument. Although last time I've played, five or so odd years ago (the new...

That sounds unreasonable. The concept of having an ISP that also dominates internet search & advertising makes what is already discussed and the union one that conjures the word 'monopoly', also makes it unreasonable by yet another degree. :(

I guess the irony is being besides the fact that this is not a 'shoe' in the regular sense of the word is... lots of kids change shoes with style, not because they wear out.
