    HP OMEN 16L Pre-builds Listed with GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB & 8 GB Memory Configs

    I agree. Interesting enough to not look boring like your typical OEM tower and not the garish and lazy over the top glass and RGB show trap that 99% of the DIY market falls into.

    Nokia, and starting on April first? There has to be some kind of clever joke here but its escaping me at the moment.

    Sony to Stop Manufacturing Blu-ray Media, Effective February 2025

    It is recordable media. This article and pretty much everyone that picked it up made (intentionally or not) it sound like they were going to stop doing physical media releases for movies which isn't the case (yet anyway).

    Sony to Stop Manufacturing Blu-ray Media, Effective February 2025

    4K discs are not any harder than a regular Blu-ray, you just need to find a drive with right firmware or find a compatible drive that you can flash yourself. If you "look around" you can find 4K Blu-rays of the original films. There is two version out there; one that is de-noised to clean them...

    Sony to Stop Manufacturing Blu-ray Media, Effective February 2025

    Whatever "Bravia/Pictures Core" is its just indicative of the problem. Content silos that get more expensive and restrictive (pay more for less) and consumer's having control over nothing.

    Sony to Stop Manufacturing Blu-ray Media, Effective February 2025

    This is the real reason you average fan of movies, TV, ect. should care. Picture and sound quality are thing but the way streaming is structured the consumer has no ownership of anything, and its cost prohibitive for any service to have access to everything and unlike music if the actors and...

    Jonsbo Launches the N10 and NV10 4.54L Mini-ITX Compact Cases Series

    Kinda wish there was a mATX version of this but these look great. The anodized AL with the wood trim is very classy look. Jonsbo seems to be the new Lian Li.

    Report: Intel Could Face Acquisition, Units to Remain Together

    IBM is a interesting prospect and makes some sense. IBM could use the fabs for Power and Z CPUs, Power's long term future is up in the air but Z isn't going anyway in the foreseeable future. And of course with their purchase of RedHat they are getting more involved in the x86 space so I could...

    be quiet! Showcases Pure Base 501 with Solid Side Panel at CES 2025

    Nice to have more solid panel options but you have to have something more going on in terms of design elements otherwise its just a boring monolithic slab from 2008 without just without the optical bays.

    Antec Launches Performance 1 M Aluminium ITX Gaming Case

    Same. Lian Li used to be the leaders making clean looking cases for adults that didn't stand out with like a giant over sized tribute to Voltron (00s) or unicorn vomit light show (2010s+). Now they are just another follower in the tempered glass RGB trend that dominates everything that isn't...

    peerless speakers-replacing drivers for higher quality tweeters drivers

    New drivers = new crossover always. The only exception would be if the two drivers are basically the same with a different diaphragm but similar material like AL and Ti but then they are going to sound the same as well. Also, not sure where you are getting the idea that Peerless doesn't make...
