    The 5 biggest gaming trends I think we’ll see over the next decade — from the end of Xbox and Nintendo Switch 2 to 8K and the PS6

    Digital downloads only work, when the console makers actually provide you with a big enough hard drive to hold your games, and this console generation doesn't do that. That's why I don't own an XBox series X/S or PS5. I want my games to be at my fingertips, I don't want to have to delete, and...

    News 5 classic movies just added to Prime Video with 90% or higher on Rotten Tomatoes

    I hope they aren't going to claim ownership over thse movies, now, so that we can't watch them anywhere else. :rolleyes:

    News Samsung Galaxy S21 vs. iPhone 12: Which phone wins?

    I don't see how any phone maker can use the "it's better for the environment" argument, as an excuse not to ship with a charger. If you don't get a charger from them, you'll be forced to get one from somewhere else, so you're not doing anything to save the environment. A charger and cable are...

    News E-bike riders aren’t wearing helmets — and head trauma cases are through the roof

    Let's be honest about what ebikes really are. Electric motorcycles. The Uk is having a big problem with pedestrians being mowed down in crosswalks by these things. Some of them travel as fast as a 250cc motorcycle, and are completely silent. Someone looks to cross, sees a bicycle off in the...

    News Scientists just developed a 200,000GB optical disc that could replace Blu-rays

    So first, Sony gets kicked to the curb by digital distribution, and now, a new optical format stands ready to kill off whatever life Blu Ray had left in it. Sony deserves this after how they cheated to kill off HD DVD.

    Forget self-driving cars — CES 2024 showed us how AI will truly benefit drivers

    The only good thing that AI can do, is stop people who think they are somehow privileged, and don't have to obey the traffic laws, from putting the rest of us in danger. 90 in a 55? Not anymore, you don't. Like to run red lights? Not if the car locks up the brakes until the light changes. Ran...

    It's funny how I have absolutely no use at all, for any of these "essential" apps.

    News macOS 13: What to expect from the next macOS

    Looking at the model years that are supported, I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that this will be the last version of Mac OS that will support Intel processors.

    News Nvidia RTX 4090’s ridiculous power could leave AMD in the dust

    No, most people do NOT have a $5k computer. That's crazy talk. Most people have a computer in the $1k-$1500 range, if they're lucky. Many have to make do with whatever they can manage to cobble together, on an even more limited budget, even if it means buying used.

    News Nvidia RTX 4000 GPUs could be pushed back — but there's good news

    Not only has supply on new rtx 30 cards loosened up considerably, but the crypto crash has caused the big mining farms to dump all their cards onto the market, as well. This isn't going to be good for new card launches. Everyone gleefully snapping up all the excess video cards now, won't be in...

    News Xbox Series S leak just revealed bad news for storage

    I don't know. How is either of them better than the $150 that I just paid for an 8tb external drive for my PC?

    News Xbox Series S leak just revealed bad news for storage

    Storage is going to be an issue on all the consoles this generation. I have a 2tb external drive attached to my 500gb PS4 and a 5tb external drive attached to my 500gb XBox One, and even they filled up fast. It is inexcusable to not have at least 4tb of storage in this generation of consoles...

    News AMD Radeon RX 6800 could pummel Nvidia RTX 3070 — here’s how

    Well, when you are putting the 3080 competitor up against the 3070, of course the 3070 loses. Duh.
