Thinking about TR these days, I can’t help be reminded of the classic kids book The Giving Tree. Tech Report played its part in creating wonderful opportunities and connections for Scott, Geoff, Cyril, Jeff, Adam, staff writers, contributors, and many in the community. We tend to focus on how much i...

Go test drive some Teslas and give us your review of the whole experience. I have been too busy to learn about the tech but it would surely be fun to hear in your inimitable voice.

Or maybe some ThermoWorks products?

If TR members were to perform benchmarking and post numbers [...] Ah, no. Something more like: Mods/junior staff to perform official TR benchmarking using Mechanical TuRk. As subscribers we'd essentially pay for a single set of vetted results per major hardware release, complete with TR-style chart...

I like that Jeff's comments are focused on the big picture. Eventually, someone will do something like Labdoor for PC hardware, because there is a perpetual, structural gap in the market: https://labdoor.com/about/business-model Will that be TR? Who knows. I was first drawn here long ago (years befo...

Coincidentally (and anecdotally):
I've had a Vive since 2016. But only in the last 2 months have I started using it daily. Looking back, I see that initially I enjoyed VR mostly as a novelty. But now it's really becoming a part of my life.

Hmm... Good on Linus for putting real effort into understanding others, and growing as a person. We could use more of that around here: If those sorts transgender activists are running the show allowed to influence the tech community then Linux the 40,000 open source projects that use the code of co...

Self-proclaimed Excel and CSV reformatting expert here. I understand you're hindered by the export's formatting in some way, but it's not clear exactly *what* the existing formatting is preventing you from doing. That info is key to an elegant solution. As an interesting side-note, the existing form...

OK, agree on all the above stated points. But "archival" has a strong overlap with what is technically piracy. For example, trying to watch an episode of a low to mid-popularity TV episode that aired years ago and never saw a DVD release, and the TV network's not responding to requests for...

If you don't focus too much on how it sounds out loud (slightly lame), Ryzen is a really strong visual brand. The word RYZEN just looks awesome in marketing materials, more so than Zen. They got it right when they said they imagined it printed on the side of a spaceship to Mars. The only letters vis...

Great work! I have been there. One thing that helped me eventually (over a few years) stop craving soda was to intentionally develop a taste for very highly carbonated mineral water. (Topo Chico is good for this, its carbonation level is off the charts.) A couple years down the road, now I drink a l...

At some point, I'd like to see a comprehensive report on which entities PAY to run those ads in the first place and WHY. Is it some kind of "idiot filter," to recruit botnet machines? Or is there actual commerce occurring? I honestly want to know the scoop. Serious money is being sunk into...

Since Kaby Lake is a proper noun, one can infer that it rhymes with Swaby (located in Lincolnshire, England) which as glossed in the CMU Pronouncing Dictionary (http://www.speech.cs.cmu.edu/cgi-bin/cmudict?in=swaby) rhymes with "cabbie".

Anyone reckon her gender and appearance made (mostly male) venture capitalists and traders more willing to give her company $$$ without as much attention to due diligence as might have otherwise been applied? No, that's silly - we're talking about billions of dollars, not office politics. A real ex...

it's a step function. A very few Hipsters get to build/define the next step. Technicians/mathematicians bring everyone else up to that step. I love the analogy to a step function, I am reminded of Kuhnian "normal science" vs. scientific revolution. That's why I'm not surprised about Polar...

Retailers have no reason to not make extra money if the demand is greater than the supply. Especially with how crazy the difference is between the supply and demand. True. Imagine you saw a brand-new, in stock 1070 for $199. Would you buy one? Or maybe even two, just because? That's exactly how ret...

If you have noisy neighbors, try combining active noise canceling headphones with a loud bassy brown noise played over speakers + subwoofer. This combination will become your happy place if you sensitive to noise and/or misophonic.

that's precisely the predicament I'm in. Yep, we just had a GPU bite the dust in a gaming rig on Monday and were forced to decide between a discounted 9xx card now, or else endure the trials of getting a new generation card anytime soon. I am totally cool waiting for the TR review in light of the c...

I love my Grado GS1000 headphones. Their presence attributes help with positioning in VR to an impressive degree (I currently work as an audio programmer on a VR title), which adds another cool dimension to the room-scale experience. Also interesting: When the level of detail is sufficient in a pair...

I want to chime in that the TR team's work is very important, because TR is truly one of the only genuine sources of computer hardware journalism. This is of course still true today, however we need significant feature reviews of meaningful hardware. This is an exciting time for PC tech; I can't wai...

I do like the idea of adding brief benchmarks to the "In the Lab:" posts - it's always really nice to see early data.
A great example is this "first look" that Jeff did last year:

I will believe it when I can buy it from an e-tailer and use it. Have you looked into a career as a Grant Administrator? I think with this attitude, you'd be able to reject proposals with superhuman efficiency. I love reading about discoveries like this. It's something we didn't know previously, th...

Is it sad that I couldn't get paste the first paragraph?

Perhaps easier said than done!

Naturally I agree and really love seeing the written word coddled. But I realize it's a very tall order for small editorial teams.

Lately I like Rake on Netflix. It's really well written for a show that Joss Whedon didn't write. My wife and I really enjoy watching The Amazing Race together, we've been watching some old seasons after completing the most recent one. We also watch some Doc Martin together. She and I have also rece...

I never understood the whole flying cars meme. It is really a just small VTOL aircraft. Unless we develop a revolutionary propulsion tech that requires a fraction of the energy for flight over existing solutions. Flying cars will remain nothing more than a pipe-dream.
