    Cities: Skylines II Patch 1.1.2f1 Adds DLSS Super Resolution, Bug Fixes, and More

    Their whole business model needs a retool I'd say, they're coming across as extremely greedy. FYI Cities Skylines 1 still costs at least $229.06 on Steam for the game and all the DLCs and that's with a 45% discount. If that was $60 for the whole shebang (most DLCs are years old by now) it would...

    No, more Sony KoolAid if anything, the motion picture industry has recently standardized 4000-nits for HDR Highlights going forward and right now the only technology with the pathway to reach that standard is LED, specifically MiniLED VA for which yields aren't that bad. microLED yields are...

    Scientists Develop a Solution to OLED Burn-in

    The industry is beginning turn away from OLEDs entirely it seems. MiniLED contrast with FALD looks spectactular, not as good as OLED yet but they can get much brighter than OLED. MicroLEDs when they get cheap enough will probably kill OLED off for good. The new industry standard is HDR...

    Bose Announces its new Ultra Open Earbuds with aptX Adaptive Support

    If someone figured out a way to make earbuds stay in the ear canal without sliding out over time they'd become very rich. Everyone would replace their old ear buds especially for sports and the like, everyone.

    Intel 15th-Generation Arrow Lake-S Could Abandon Hyper-Threading Technology

    To each their own I guess, to me not worth the security risk and the potential performance upside is minuscule to non-existent unless you're fully loading the CPU which I almost never do anyway.

    Intel 15th-Generation Arrow Lake-S Could Abandon Hyper-Threading Technology

    I've disabled HT on all my builds since at least the 8700K. No downside at all that I can tell for normal usage.

    ASUS TUF Gaming BTF Cable-Free Gaming PC Build Up Close: Bye Bye Cable Management

    Not having to route power cables to the front will be nice. I dread anytime I have to unplug the CPU's aux 4pin power connectors. I guess if someone's tower is stuck in the corner with little to no access to the back-side panel it would be harder since they'd have to unplug the tower, pull it...

    Samsung To Unveil New 'Designed for Samsung Gaming Hub' Partner Accessory Program at CES 2024

    I hate press releases. They often obfuscate what they're really releasing behind a bunch of inside mumbo jumbo that nobody understands, by design.

    Bethesda Details Starfield Update 1.8.88 and Reveals Future Update Details, Including AMD FSR and Intel XeSS Support

    I want a mod that completely avoids ever having to fly in space ships. It's more tedious then I imagine riding a sailboat across the Atlantic would be.

    Ericsson First to Market with Processors Made on "Intel 4" Technology

    I suspect it's because ML/AI and the Automotive industry's ravenous hunger for cutting edge chips are probably the reason that foundries are making too much money off those industries to allow the humble NIC and Switch to get the later nodes. Idk though. It's funny because In 2003 the largest...
