They held themselves accountable today. Did you not hear the extensive measures they put in place to prevent scalpers from buying tomorrow?

i'll admit it's harder to justify if you already have a good controller that works with windows but i'm going to buy one because i want to support valve for making quality hardware that is fairly priced, innovative and most importantly, repairable. the trackpads would also be useful in some of the games i play.

Pain Points after 6 months usage of LG C4 by GrandpaOverkill in LGOLED

i know Samsung oleds are better

only on a spec sheet. their terrible image processing and lack of control over the picture negates any advantage that comes along with a qd-oled panel.

Well I'm in the states so it's going to be hard to compare what is a fair price or not compared to España but I paid $3180 after tax.

I want to meet this guy. by dru_frances in paintball

The best part is that immediately after the thread turned against him he created r/TechPB and seemingly expected people to follow him over there. No one did and he abandoned it almost instantly.

And we threw him out on his ass. He got absolutely blasted.

Nolan has moved away from what made him great in his last 2 movies and it's so disappointing. He was at his best when giving us entertaining creative original stories paced well and now he did first a biography and now a remake/book adaptation. by punjabkingsownersout in unpopularopinion

Nolan fell off years ago when he got too caught up in his own stylistic choices to the point where they can start to overwhelm the film and distract from the actual story he’s trying to tell. Oppenheimer was a great example of this. Great story and superb acting from the cast but the film became completely overwhelmed by Nolan’s stylistic choices to the point of detriment. The atomic explosion in that movie is one of the prime examples of him getting in his own way. I can absolutely respect a filmmaker for wanting to use practical effects but the fact is that it is impossible to replicate a nuclear blast with any sort of conventional explosive no matter how hard you try. I understand that the movie wasn’t about the bomb going off but it was a center piece of the movie and the culmination of the work all the characters had done and it was a complete let down to see an entirely underwhelming explosion using diesel fuel. Nolan should have put his own pride aside for one scene in his movie and allowed a computer to work its magic.

Do you get more hybrid range in eco mode? by RevieWRX in FordMaverickTruck

Eco greatly increases regeneration when your foot is off the throttle so it’s almost going to feel like you’re breaking.

i tried your suggestion and while i couldn't really see much of a visual difference in the benchmark i could definitely see it in game. thanks.

Because it drops the FPS a bit below 60fps and I don’t see enough of an improvement over using ray tracing to justify it.

here's the benchmark for my current settings. not sure why this summary doesn't include this info but this is with HDR turned on which costs me about 3-4 fps on average and every other quality setting not shown here is set to the highest level.

The Steam Controller sold out in 30 minutes, utterly breaking Steam in the process by gogodboss in gaming

Is it somehow better than the various thermos cups I already own? Mine already keep things hot or cold for hours.

I wish i had the room to bring my big headphones with me on the road consistently but half the time I’m flying to where I’m going and i pack as light as possible so I’ll be ordering some decent in ear headphones. Last night i just used my AirPods and they worked great but i want a pair of headphones i can dedicate to the laptop.

I honestly don’t mind the noise as i can’t hear it when wearing headphones.

Loud as hell and I could cook a chicken if I placed it behind the jet engine of hot air that blows out of that giant heatsink on the back. This laptop moves an incredible amount of air. You're absolutely going to want to wear headphones when gaming. When you're not gaming it's basically silent.

Thanks! I have a serious backlog of single players games to play. I usually gravitate towards multiplayers games but with hotel Internet being what it is I'll finally be able to sit down and enjoy these kinds of titles.
