    so whats with evga?

    from what i remember reading at the time of closure, they have always outsourced production to other oems more than any other big manufacturer this means margins are way lower for their entire ;product line (and as a result, their low-numbers products like cooling and motherboards don't have...

    game burn out

    used to play a ton of online fps, but since the invasion of cheaters/cookie-cutter knockoffs/free-to-pay, Ive given up single player games these days are mostly console ports with some inexplicable unintelligent design issue or game-breaking bugs that makes me throw up my hands in frustration...

    Why did we abandon hydrogen cars so quickly?

    completely ignoring the fact that this still has to compete with hydrogen stations(they do exist) Toyota has this sort of pr prepared every time someone else announces something interesting -this is just an empty response to the recent Honda ev-palooza remember when Honda was following Toyota...

    Windows 12

    I hate w11 for one simple reason: unlike previous versions, they added a barrier of encryption acceleration, even though i don't use secure boot or encysted disc i was hoping for the same seamless up[grade I had from windows 7, not forced features only used by enterprise; instead, ill wait...

    Counter-Strike 2 Performance Benchmark

    no, the difference at 1080p very high is only 400mb. I think all 4gb cards can handle that easily Also, you'll notice certain cards can handle way higher vram than rated, like the 6500 xt @ 1440p very high, - as long as the game does not exceed the cards bandwidth, you can often exceed...

    Why did we abandon hydrogen cars so quickly?

    but, acting like hydrogen production is somehow cheaper than just buying batteries or creating pumped hydro storage is just as foolhardy there is a minimum cost for efficient electrolysis, involving a different mix of the same materials that already cost 5k per-fuel cell (IE Catalysis...

    Why did we abandon hydrogen cars so quickly?

    sure,but at way higher cost than the existing fuel cell.you need a different mix of expensive catalysts, plus who knows how much different water temperature than exhaust?

    India Imposes Import Restrictions on Prebuilt PCs

    TV manufacturing makes sense to corner, as it takes large quantities of precision equipment - both the large panels themselves, and they assemble LED back-planes on large PCB!! But the Chinese PC market is so generic worldwide because most cant afford an expensive model form HP/Dell/Apple; so...

    NVIDIA Announces Record Financial Results for Q2 of 2023

    so is the new cache-powered Maxwell reintroduction of the 128-bit 4060! most new games, it matches the old 3060 ti, for $30-off the 3060; the bonus being, cache +128-bit means the card doesn't appeal for AI but yeah, every other card besides the 4090 is overpriced :D

    Potential graphics card shortage incoming... interesting idea. A.I. demand taking up TSMC space.

    well, now that they've castrated 60-series back to the Maxwell days, the 128-bit bus means it will stay in-stock indefinitely: https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-DisplayPort-2-5-Slot-Axial-tech-Technology/dp/B0C7YPGFFW/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=rtx%2B4060&qid=1692836203&sr=8-3&th=1 and the 4050 will be 96-...

    Why did we abandon hydrogen cars so quickly?

    you'd be surprised how bored most folks get when a particular tech/market sub-segment hits saturation - they readjust priorities almost overnight! when you have new concepts driving this connected world almost-daily, the concentration-focus of individual mindsets changes just-as-often I'll...

    Why did we abandon hydrogen cars so quickly?

    you already have a way-more limited list at your local supermarket shelve space (some are licensing, while others are distribution limits/too saturated a market) - we're simply saying with increased cost of shipping, expect the foreign numbers to fall a bit further! you will still see the big...

    Why did we abandon hydrogen cars so quickly?

    about future containment hopes, well, they just got dashed by this: a syn-gas-powered ship to bypass all the h2 distribution issues! https://www.ship-technology.com/news/wallenius-wilhelmsen-contract-next-generation-vessels/ even if it takes us forever to switch to carbon-neutral shipping, the...

    Why did we abandon hydrogen cars so quickly?

    because the physics of keeping a cable suspended (a mix of taut or unloaded, with constant curvature effect) is so much m,ore complex than a fixed wireless lane, or even a preferred yo use a steel third rail i(more reliable for trains) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catenary wireless, on the...
