I'm in Durham, NC. We're a few hours from the coast, but the models still have us getting 10 inches of rain dumped on our heads. I grew up near New Orleans, so I'm no stranger to the stress of hurricane threats. But it's been a few years since I've had to seriously worry about it, and boy is it not ...
Disappointing to hear about those issues. I haven't experienced them with my XPS 13 (1080p, i5-6200U), but your experience certainly makes me wary about buying another down the road.
I have an i5-6400 in a Shuttle barebones in my living room running Ubuntu as the host OS and three KVM/libvirt VMs : a Windows system with a 1050 Ti passed through (and connected to my TV), pfsense for routing, and another Ubuntu system hosting the controller software for my Unifi access points. It ...
How is performance now a few months later? Mostly fine, in my experience playing with the console docked. You'll see occasional FPS drops and some texture pop-in. It's noticeable when it happens, but it hasn't been frequent or severe enough to disgruntle me. Are there any games that are even remote...
I received one as a surprise birthday present several weeks ago. I agree with pretty much everything you've said. The console has a solid, well-engineered feel, and the Pro controller is great. The kickstand could have been better, though. Zelda has blown me away. It's the best open-world game I've ...
Avidemux can do everything you need, but is a bit clunky to use. I'm no video editing expert, but I've loaded Avidemux about a billion times. Takes about 6.5 seconds every time.
Liked the movie. Didn't love it, but liked it. I have to say, though, is there some rule of Star Wars that orphan protagonists must live on desert planets? Environments that are functionally identical to Tatooine are getting stale.
Spells that didn't deal with artifacts were exceedingly thin. (..I think Strange used about 5: shield, whip, portal, glass realm, "inception" spell.) This really bothered me. Let's draw energy from the multiverse to cast crazy spells...or actually let's just do some parkour while whackin...
Thanks for the information, this will be useful for me as I continue to waffle for the next few years over a monitor purchase.

How?
Simon is pretty active both on twitter and on his own forums at TFT Central. You may have some luck trying to reach him directly to see how he managed to do it.
I did actually go through the de-registering process, and the problem persists. It's likely user error on my friends' part, but it's still a bit irritating that it's an issue.
I don't usually jump aboard apple hate trains, but iMessage has turned group messaging among my friends into a mess. For it to fail over gracefully to MMS, I think all of the iPhones in the group need to have the "use SMS..." option set properly. And god help you if any of those iPhones ha...
Having recently built a mini-ITX system, I have resolved to go back to micro-ATX for my next gaming PC. JAE, what specific limitations are driving you back to micro-ATX, out of curiosity? My most recent personal build was micro-ATX, and I've been leaning towards mini-ITX whenever I build next. I re...
Most of the time I don't have trouble deciphering these. But auxy, how does one visually decode the "ω" character that's used often as a nose/mouth? Are those meant to be nostrils? Some sort of impossible contortion of the mouth? Or upper and lower lips rotated 90 degrees, like this?
The 980 SC (blower) I bought from that sale for like $370 just got here a couple days ago. I am extremely pleased, the card is in great shape and FC4 is running like a dream.
It's certainly theoretically possible, but I don't believe NVIDIA has built any kind of support for this yet. GameStream is strictly from your x86 gaming rig to your ARM Shield device, not another x86 machine. In the meantime, there's always Steam in-home streaming, unless you're specifically intere...
Man, I love XAML. XAML is great. Some more advanced bits are tricky, but it's very expressive and powerful once you're comfortable with it. I haven't touched the iOS SDK since 2011, but back then I didn't like it too much. Objective-C was clunky, Swift looks like a much better language to deal with....
Ooh, just thought of a good one. Torchlight 2 allows up to 6 players and can regularly be found for like $5 a copy. If you like dungeon grinding Diablo-style lootfests, Torchlight is great.
Like superjawes said, I think MOBA is the way to go. Dota2 is crazy fun, and is completely free.
Of course, the learning curve is very steep and the community is pretty unforgiving. But since you have a full team of 5, you'll be insulated from the worst flaming. Or there are always bots.
I'm pretty excited! ..but I don't own an Xbox One. This is the only release thus far that's tempted me at all to get one. Playing Halo 2 online is among my fondest gaming memories, and I'm pumped that it will soon be possible again.
I was in an position almost identical to yours. E8400, 4GB DDR2, and a GTX 460. About two years ago I snagged an SSD, which really breathed new life into the system. Obviously it didn't do anything for my framerates in games, but general usage and loading times became much faster and more pleasant. ...
After that though I am unsure particularly with regards to motherboard/cases/psus Choosing a motherboard largely comes down to the feature set you're looking for. If you're getting an unlocked K intel chip, you'll want a Z97 chipset. On the other hand, if you're not going to be overclocking, save y...
