Used to be part of the Win 95 beta and such. It was greatly exciting back then. Now I'm in no rush to install Win11 whatsover, even though my main PC that I built last year actually has the Asus TPM module (added later) as I needed Bit

The assertion that people don't preload mechanical keyboards when gaming is fairly ridiculous.

The 970 Evo Minus sounds a lot more to the point. I have 2tb version bought last year, works great - but will opt for 980 Pro instead should I need more now. (Have a 1tb version of that too, when it first came out. Works well but honestly t

The card is fine, but if you want to control the oh so annoying lighting... Fortunately Afterburner will let you take control of the fan etc with a custom profile.

Have been happy with their Aorus GPU, a 1080TI Xtreme, however their software suite turned into a pile of shit. I will not buy another Gigabyte / Aorus card for that reason.

Logitech software might be bloated, but it's downright lean compared to the Roccat mouse I just got for my son.

Absolutely. The weight of batteries and increase speed will quickly tell you you need hydraulic brakes, and not a crap system either. I was thinking, the one in the linked article uses friction against the back wheel. What happens the mome

Jesus, yep. Big "Brother", always watching. What lives can we destroy today? Privacy is being hit hard now, on multiple fronts - it's very sad, scary.

Do what we do in Vic, Australia: Add usage tax for EVs, with only a narrow timed limited vehicle discount for standard range EVs. And not a single ICEV co² tax in sight. That'll help (the oil companies).

The privacy implications are fucking horrible. As an Android user I'd love to gloat, after all Apple have really had the upper edge on privacy so far, and their users have not been shy about telling us. Again and again. However any ple

There's an underground Australian Northern Territory campaign which was rather amusing: CU in the [state initials]. (Absolutely no worse than the FCUK clothing label, which I just find annoyingly lame - at least it was funny.)

And that way you get the username you want too, instead of the first five letters of your name/email. "Johnathan Smith" => "johna" == yuck.

I use Linux daily on Win 10. WSL2 is a game changer.

Ditto. Build high end computers and they'll last a decade or longer, at least since ~2011.

I'll grant that the battery life isn't terrific on the Carbon. Also the M1 CPU was a masterstroke of engineering by Apple. (Having said that my new Nano is working a lot better than the previous Gen6 - seeing 7 hours remaining on

That's truly one of the most bizarre accounts of harassment I've ever read. I hope they're well and truly compensated for their suffering.

To be fair, spoiling the ending of the movie was necessary to make her case - which also had said side benefit, giving her the most minor of retributions. It seems like she got judged massively simply because she was/ is a very attract

You were looking at it wrong. ;) I've been enjoying X1 Carbons for nine years now. In fact I've still got my first one, from 2012, which works great as my personal one - even though I've gotten two new ones from works since.

Wow, Take On Me doesn't even hit that list. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djV11Xbc914 Maybe it's because it's the 4k remaster, only out for 11 years? Nonetheless, it's got a couple of hundred views fr

And in (sim/real) car racing, we are constantly seeking tenths. :) Take Laguna Seca, 11 corners. If one could find a tenth in each, one would be a very significant 1.1 seconds faster per lap. Small fractions of time, what an interestin

I wanted to share the Hidden life Of Trees book, for anyone finding the above fascinating. The author explores the idea that trees use fungal networks to communicate, which is further to what we see about the plants here. https:/&#x2F

I actually read the whole piece as a humorous way of giving you an overview of some of the key AW services. I had a pretty good laugh at least, and thought it did a good job of it. :)

Well if they wanted to be 100% certain nothing could be recovered, then that is a very good way to make sure.
