  2. Just for reference... I remember that my 2 755m in SLI could run Destiny 2 @1080p between 25 - 30 FPS. (This was in beta while Destiny 2 at that time had no proper SLI support). In other words... It isn't a very demanding game... I'd rather see something like Shadow of The Tomb Raider Now, don't get me wrong... it's a good thing that Intel has improved considerably in this department.

  3. Samsung says it sold nearly half a million Galaxy Fold units

    I would be surprised if it sold 40,000 let alone 400,000.

  4. Hands on with Lenovo's ThinkPad X1 Fold running Windows 10X

    The list of reasons. There is no advantage to a dual screen. Windows Phone was abandoned. Managing services between Google and Microsoft will be seen as a drawback. The software won't be formatted for a dual screen. Windows 10X won't be finished.

  5. 🙄 Better tested and released than rushed out. 20H1 refers to the first half of 2020, not the beginning of January. 20H1 is slated for March/April. Once MS hits a code freeze on the current branch to be released, they skip ahead to a future release on the fast ring. Been like this for years and there is nothing wrong with it. You don’t stop future development because you hit a code freeze. 1909 just came, why in the world do you want to rush a new update? In case it’s confusing to you, 1909 refers to the sign off date, not the release date. Don’t like it, go grab another OS and leave Insider builds to those who understand them.

  8. Samsung says it sold nearly half a million Galaxy Fold units

    Have you used the Fold. Everyone I talked to except for you of course says it's a pretty cool phone. Why don't you go and see it before you spew. wtf? dude look at the picture you can see reflections down the screen I'm not spewing anything it's right there in the picture... and I said * IF * it is doing that enough to reflect light it would drive * ME * crazy, that's a personal opinion... and don't tell me you can't see that light reflection in the picture above because it's very obvious

  10. Hands on with Lenovo's ThinkPad X1 Fold running Windows 10X

    You can see the Chromium version of Edge on there. That means 2 things. A) Windows Store will be open to more than EdgeHTML 2) There is support for Win32 apps in some way But Fullscreen only is a bad idea, they tried that with Windows 8

  11. Samsung's newest rugged smartphone features a removable battery

    I really hope this thing sells like hotcakes, and makes the company realize people want removable batteries. Well, at least I do.

  12. Here's what ports are on the back of the Xbox Series X

    USB Type C wouldn't make sense on the console itself. what would you use the port for? you're not likely going to plug in thunderbolt or anything. most USB Drives are Type A and most wired peripherals use Type A. If we're to see Type C anywhere it would be on the controllers as most cords are Micro/TypeC to Type A. I don't know/see many Type C to Type C cords.

    I remember on my PII 333 with a TV tuner. In BeOS I would double click the TV tuner app and it would open AND start playing live TV ..Instantly! ... blink and it was open and playing.

  20. Hands on with Lenovo's ThinkPad X1 Fold running Windows 10X

    "There is no advantage to a dual screen" - Tell that to multi monitor setup users. "Windows Phone was abandoned" - Irrelevant to the device in question "Managing services between Google and Microsoft will be seen as a drawback" - Please provide more info. Creating a Microsoft account is dead easy, Microsoft now plays nice with Google's services, and Apple product users are already accustomed to "Managing multiple services" without any issues, don't know how managing a Microsoft account will be any different that an iCloud account. "The software won't be formatted for a dual screen" - That's a bold and definitive statement about the future you are making which nobody knows. "Windows 10X won't be finished" - No piece of software ever is.

  22. Samsung's newest rugged smartphone features a removable battery

    Hardly. Removable batteries makes perfect sense for those of us who buy a smartphone with the expectation of being able to use it for several years. With the current high costs of phones, they hardly qualify as "disposable."

  25. I've gone back to using the default Microsoft-provided driver and am happier for it. I'm fed up with the bloat that comes in these driver packages. Whilst I appreciate they're trying to enhance gaming, I don't need any streaming features bundled in, or hotkeys or overlays.

  27. What a joke of a process. Why not just allow users to enter the search engine if it's not on the list to begin with? There should be a other option that lets you punch in what you want. And how can they turn this around and make it an auction and get paid for it? Who the heck sees this as correct? Should get drawn right back into court.

  28. A look at Acer's new, far less expensive, $14,000 gaming chair

    For that price, I could get the haptic feedback suit and gloves, the Pimax 8k VR headset, and a PC cable of driving it, and still be able to buy an OK used car.

  41. Heaven

    An eighty-five year old couple, married for almost sixty years, died in a car crash and went to the Pearly Gates. They had been in good health for the last ten years, mainly as a result of the wife's interest in healthy diets and exercise. St. Peter welcomed them into Heaven and took them to their small palace in heaven- complete with a large bedroom, Jacuzzi, full kitchen, and billiards table. "How much will this cost us?" asked the husband. "Nothing," St. Peter responded. "This is Heaven- everything is free!" Next, he took them to the Championship golf course just minutes away from their mansion. They would have golfing privileges whenever they wanted, an angel as a caddy on command, and the course even changed daily to represent the most elite courses on Earth. "This is... stupendous," the wife asked. "What are the green fees?" Again, St. Peter said "Nothing. This is Heaven- everything is taken care of." Next, he took them to the equivalence of a five-star restaurant next to the course. Wagu beef, prime rib, lobster, veal, salmon, rare vegetables and spices- all one could eat. "How much-" "Again, free," St. Peter responded to the wife. "This is Heaven." The husband paused. "Well... this is all nice, but... do you have any low cholesterol, low-fat options...?" St. Peter chuckled. "In Heaven, you don't have to worry about Earthly problems. You will never get fat and you will never get sick." Suddenly, the husband grew angry, and screamed toward the sky. St. Peter and the man's wife tried calming him down, but he kept getting angrier. "What's the matter???" the wife asked. "Why aren't you happy here???"

  42. No. The platform was the number of bits a program ran at. Architecture should tell you if it's ARM or Intel bits.

  43. So for Task Manager they just renamed the Platform column to Architecture? Not sure I would really categorize that as an improvement.

  45. Here's what ports are on the back of the Xbox Series X

    ...but 'real gamers' said it shouldn't have one. Then they bought PS4s and complained for years and worked with hacks to get the same functionality, especially 'live TV' on their PS4 before cord cutting Apps were available. (With Sony 'selling' them a solution via Vue.)

  46. Here's what ports are on the back of the Xbox Series X

    Stuff like this is why: https://shop.westerndigital.co" rel="external nofollow">https://shop.westerndigital.co...3-2-ssd#WDBA3S5000ABK-WESN" rel="external nofollow">https://shop.westerndigital.co" rel="external nofollow">https://shop.westerndigital.co" rel="external nofollow">https://shop.westerndigital.co...-3-2-ssd#WDBA3S5000ABK-WESN So you can realize the full potential of that drive. Type C is just a connector. To utilize NVMe drive it would have to be at least a 10Gbit USB 3.1. Type-C being a connector is understood. Your comment still backups up the point that if anyone is to take advantage of current and future storage, like NVMe, a USB 3.1 (gen 2) Type-C or A would be required. I know Type-C can be used with older USB standards, but generally when I see it in hardware it supports at least USB 3.0 today. In my personal experience type C is awful and should be destroyed for the good of mankind. I recommend we nuke it from orbit. That's a first. Why has your experience been so bad?

  47. the type of arrogant American remark that gives you lot a bad name. Oh look at us we are a big country and we do not give a crap any one else, we can use drones to kill people and sod the consequences, our companies can do what they like , not pay tax in other countries but as soon as a country fight back, we get the same American crap. considering that most of the population of your country are immigrants, you have nothing to be arrogant about and most of the problems in the world is caused by you lot poking your noses where it do not belong. I just wish our own government would stop following yours like a puppy dog, maybe the U.K should be more like France. .
