As others have said, make sure it is the video card that is defective, not the monitor. If it is the monitor, there are all sorts of options depending on your budget, size preference, aspect-ratio preference, whether you want greater than 60hz refresh rates, and so on. Slickdeal Monitor Deals would ...
It is more likely that clause would be invalid under the "Fair Use" exemptions to copyright - the Commentary and Criticism portions in particular. You are allowed to use portions of copyrighted works for these purposes; what Intel is doing is akin to a book publisher shrink-wrapping their ...
So it looks like Debian is refusing to carry the microcode update for this exploit, due to legal reasons. Intel changed the licensing terms, and included some really troublesome legal language. 3. LICENSE RESTRICTIONS. All right, title and interest in and to the Software and associated documentation...
One interesting (and tech related) aspect to this case is that Freescale Semiconductor had 20 engineers aboard that flight. One theory is that the US diverted the plane using some secret-squirrel remote control tech, to prevent the engineers from giving key info to China. Or that China did something...
To add to this, there are RAM shortages that put a limit on how many cards Nvidia or AMD can make; until the Chinese get their DRAM fabs up and running at the end of this year/beginning of next, and Samsung/Hynix/Micron get their current fabs upgraded at around the same time (how convenient ) that r...
I honestly don't see insect based foods catching on much in the western world; even if meat prices rose a lot, I bet most people would just eat more beans before they turned to bugs.
I have been playing PUBG quite a bit lately; sometimes I play very carefully & cautiously, creeping and crawling towards the end. Other times I get in a vehicle and drive around honking like a maniac, trying to run people over. :lol: I really love the whole scale of the game; 100 players on an 8...
I think Microsoft forcing the tile-based UI on desktop Windows 8 ended up backfiring on them; MS obviously did this with the intent of using their desktop monopoly to get people accustomed to this UI, and thus want the same thing on their phones. Only people ended up hating it on the desktop, so whe...
Newegg has the LG V20 on sale for $300 right now; as mentioned in the OP it is probably the best phone with replaceable battery available right now. I also agree the comments that phones have hit the "good enough" tech phase a while ago; I am using a nearly two-year old Zenfone 2 Laser an...
RED, everyone's favorite cinema-grade camera maker, has for some reason decided that it is going to release a cellphone telephone. Purportedly it will come with some novel holographic display, though RED is being rather sparse on the other details. Starting at $1195 for the plebian aluminum model, a...
If we are talking about race courses, wouldn't it be possible to put induction coils in the track next time the surface is refinished, so the cars could recharge as they race? Then you would only need a small reserve battery on the car itself.
I just noticed something really interesting about that chart; it has a Raven Ridge benchmark on it! Apparently it matches an i5 6600 in Fritz Chess. Kinda sad that is probably more relevant to any of us here than the actual Nano benchmarks.
Maybe they want to replace all those Atom C2000 chips that bricked themselves? Embedded products are the only real niche I see for this. Even then, if I were running an embedded device manufacturer, I would be trying to move everything to ARM anyways; lots more vendors to source from.
I agree that it makes little sense to buy $650+ phones these days. Especially since I see plenty of people buy them, and then only use them for Facebook, Snapchat, and other similarly undemanding apps. I bought a Zenfone 2 Laser for $200 last November, and it has been very nice for money - 5.5"...
It would also be technically possible for the FCC to only approve phones that work with all the major network's LTE bands, and then mandate that the major networks allow other phones to roam on their networks at reasonable rates. This would be great for consumers, but doesn't seem politically likely.
Honestly Google Fi is about the closest you'll get to this which no one has mentioned. And there's a reason it's limited to only TMo and ATT. This is incorrect - Google Fi does not partner with AT&T, but does use Sprint , as well as US Cellular and T-Mobile towers. You are right that switching ...
End User, what kind of images are you upscaling? If they are anime/manga related, I recommend you try Waifu2x out. It is a program that is specifically designed to upscale those sorts of images, and seems to do a better job than Photoshop or the Gimp at that task.
I am guessing the target market for this is older computers controlling industrial equipment. Think some $100k mill saw that was installed in the mid 90's, and never got any software updates.
Now, now, lets be fair to Apple. The iPhone 6 & 6+ were the first time that Apple engineers had to deal with designing two different sized phones at the same time, instead of the one at a time they are used too. So cut them some slack.
Given that the RX 470 is 8/9ths of a RX 480, and will presumably be clocked a bit lower, it should still have 80-85% of the RX 480 performance. Which should put it comfortably above the 960/380x in DirectX 11 games, and allow it to match a stock clocked 970 in DirectX 12/Vulkan games. That is plenty...
Well, I am planing on picking up the RX 470, as I mentioned in a previous post. ;) Has anyone heard any more news about it? Other than the June 29th info (that it is a RX 480 that has had 4 of the 36 Compute Units disabled), and the logically deduceable stuff (it will cost less than $200, probably $...
I am waiting for the RX 470; I need to do a major system overhaul, and going with the cheaper 470 will let me spend a bit more on the other parts I need. The RX 470 should be plenty for my needs; now that we know that it has 32 compute units, or 8/9ths of a RX 480, and given that it will probably be...
I saw that article. About the binding arbitration clause in the EULA, well I think Microsoft's lawyers didn't want to be in the position of arguing in front of judge that the EULA is still binding even if you never actually agreed to it. Anyways, you think the class action lawyers would be salivatin...
If tomorrow, the world switched to Linux.. It would worse than the windows landscape is now for threats, pua's, cryto. Virus are where the money is. Just curious, but why do you think this? If Linux itself had any gaping security issues then all the web servers running it would be hacked; while Lin...
Nothing wrong with those parts, though unless you really need the ECC RAM, going with a nearly $300 motherboard & $350 Xeon will cost you a lot of money over getting a high end consumer board & Core i7, while not actually performing any better. If you do want to spend $300 on a motherboard, ...
Well, the Chinese seem to like the iPhone~esq UI approach; a big grid of icons and folders, and nothing else, for whatever reason. Lots of Chinese OEMs use launchers like that on their phones. Maybe it has to do with how Chinese writing is very visually busy, with lots of complex characters with no ...
I'm tempted to build something like this with used xeons to get 32 threads http://www.techspot.com/review/1155-affordable-dual-xeon-pc/ My compile jobs take hours single threaded If you want to go with the used Xeon route, then the socket 2011 v3 chips (versus the socket 2011 chips mentioned in tha...
Well, I suppose we might see some server oriented boards made with Summit Ridge in mind might include some really crappy onboard graphics chip. But what I meant is that things like PCI-E lanes, USB controllers, ect being integrated into the CPU should mean that those should be the same on every boar...
