  1. Cemu emulator 1.16.0c publicly released, brings Vulkan support

    Being that there are hundreds of emulators for every computer and console in existence with many of them getting updates every day, just curious why this one deserves a Neowin article.

  3. Nokia 7.2 unboxing and first impressions

    Note that the new Nokia phones (HMD Global) are not from the old Nokia (https://medium.com/@roundedeve...who-is-nokia-cb24ecbc52a9). Also if you read the Amazon reviews of Nokia 7.1, it is plagued by USB-C charge port failure issues, the total lack of support, claims of water intrusion where none occurred in order to avoid fixing a design flaw. It is possible 7.2 is not much better. Also, battery charging is too slow and capacity too low for $299. But then again, maybe for US market, this is decent value. For $299 (approximately Rs.21000), if you are in China or India, you get outstanding phones.

  4. Should I upgrade my rig or stick with it?

    I would stick, if I were a betting man. The current rig seems decent, I'd probably be using it for another few years. But I'm a light-weight in this, I will run my hardware into the ground before I consider moving on.

  5. I don't think so, short of contacting the folks behind ScummVM themselves. There is however a short doc about the creation of this game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zkwpa5YPhx8" rel="external nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zkwpa5YPhx8 These war storie docus are pretty good. The one on Dead Space is also pretty interesting.

  6. I know what they are,. and they have very little interest in the public, just like the regulators of other services. More interested in the companies than the public, they come out with reports now and again just to make it look like they are doing something.

  8. Hello, If you go through the circuit breakers on the electrical panel in your home one-by-one, is there one circuit breaker that, when thrown, disables the the refrigerator and the PC? Oh. You should not have the refrigerator and your monitor plugged in together. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

  9. The orange outline for the notification only lights up briefly, right or does it keep pulsing continuously? If you are away from your phone when it comes in, you will miss it. Also its Ambient Display only lights up briefly?

    Likely the witty humor of one or more working there. I think it's a funny, at least.

  13. Cemu emulator 1.16.0c publicly released, brings Vulkan support

    Major update to a fairly unique emulator. Seems reasonable to me. How many other Wii U emulators are there?

  14. Nokia 7.2 unboxing and first impressions

    Snapdragon 660 is old now though. Other than that, Nokia 7.2 seems to be a decent phone. I have used some of Android Nokia phones and they were all good -in terms of performance and material quality- even though they didn't have the newest processors. If I would switch to Android, it would be a Nokia. I also like those model names, pretty simple. They may be pricy, but still more trustworthy than other Android phones.

  16. Show us your PC Setup - Bonus points for RGB

    Primary workstation. Running off a Brix Pro. (i7 4770R, 16GB Ram 512 m.2 SSD) I'd love to build a new PC for it, but I just can't justify it. Other than the loud fan when the CPU is taxed, that's the only issue I have with it. It does everything I need.

  17. Google adds achievements to Stadia, with some limitations

    The sooner this fails the better. Preferably leaving a crater sized loss of money so the idea doesn't come up for at least another 10 years. If this takes off it will be the end of perpetual game ownership and having the freedom to play when you want, how you want, and for however long you want. And preservation will be a thing of the past. So imagine Game A, A Stadia exclusive, is available for only 5 years. So 6 years later you have a hankering to play Game A. But you can't - all because the majority bought into Stadia and didn't care about the long term consequences of playing games in such a strict walled garden where content can be whisked away or heavily altered (censorship, removal of music to avoid paying further royalties, etc) without warning. So all you're left with to scratch that itch is watching old Twitch or YouTube playthrough videos. Compare that with some NES game you spent playing in your childhood. Now - over 3 decades later you can still play those in a myriad of ways because the content was stored on some media that could be copied and preserved. Preservation of games should not be yet another thing sacrificed at the altar of instant gratification and convenience. I hope this fails so spectacularly that it makes any investor laugh at the prospect of ever investing in another attempt again. Efforts should instead focus on things like Steam Link and similar - where the consumer has the local copy of the game data and streams it from a device that they are in control of and thus the consumer is the arbiter of content availability. The only thing that makes this possible end of days regarding preservation palatable is that I find the vast majority of AAA games to be garbage. And indie developers will likely still release things that you play locally (or stream from a device or server you control). This is one time I am glad the internet infrastructure in the U.S. is in such a horrid state that many people are still subject to data caps. That is a safeguard against this getting popular enough to make PC gaming and local play game consoles no longer profitable. With walled garden video and music streaming services preservation is still possible as the content can be captured -- usually bit for bit. But that isn't going to be possible with games that are exclusive to corporate-controlled server based streaming. Perhaps if they guaranteed to release a local copy of exclusive games once they are removed from their service it would be more acceptable. But I wouldn't trust any public traded corporation to adhere to such a promise.

  18. Show us your PC Setup - Bonus points for RGB

    Hello, I was looking at AMD's (Zen2 microarchitecture-based offerings because the price performance ratios on them are very compelling, but I was concerned about stability. It seems all the motherboard manufacturers are putting out a constant stream of AGESA updates, and while it is good they are rapidly fixing issues, the fact that they also introduce new ones. For me, stability and reliability come before performance, and while I did want to try something with higher performance than my now-previous system, I did not want to make any sacrifices when it comes to stability and reliability. Also, I know that all of the existing hardware works with Intel's CPUs and chipsets, as well as the software I use. There are some things Intel-based motherboards seem to be simply better at, like CPU-less BIOS (UEFI) firmware upgrades, and I had concerns about having to migrate virtual machines to recognize the new CPU architecture (it seemed like a lot of work for minimal trade-off in performance). The Intel Core i9-9820X was purchased from Micro Center for $350 plus tax. I also had to make a round-trip drive of about 140 miles, but I felt it was worth it for the discount (~60%).

  19. That doesn't really stack up. You ship to those who got in first on the date you said you would. Something fishy here.

  22. I was anti Apple for lots of reasons then because I am a grown up now I decided to see what all the fuss was about and BANG my life is now better because I jumped right into the Apple ecosystem and got all their stuff. For me all my Apple stuff just works like it says it will on the box. No more comparing specs and taking risks and trying to get a bargain. My life is better, I am happier.

  24. It is in orbit and scheduled to touchdown on Sunday. Software anomaly (apparently a clock issue) -- so the spacecraft wasn't firing at the correct times during orbital insertion. In other words ... the spacecraft wasn't lost ... it's just in the incorrect orbit. You must be fun at parties! Depends on how many beers I've had. Was "RIP" a joke ... thought maybe Peresvet hadn't read the article and assumed it was lost. I would have chucked at something like it was "Starliners time to fail ..." or "Boeing set the clock back on U.S. human space travel" ... or something more clever. RIP ... kinda weak.

  25. Desktops Thread: 3Q 2019

    Wow, I haven't been around for a while. Seems no one shows their desktops any more. I remember each month, by the end of the month there was pages of people posting screenshot of their desktops. How times have changed
