Howdy. I'm looking around for a beginner-ish camera, preferably a used mirrorless, that I can use for stills. This is somewhat of a toe dip, so if I enjoy it/want to dive deeper into the hobby, I can pick up a better camera in time and use the same lenses, but I do want something that is going...

CP2077 is using 7 gigs of VRAM at 1080p. Ultra with raytracing and DLSS at 4k is using 9 GB of VRAM. That level of VRAM usage isn't normal, but I seriously doubt we're going to see games using less VRAM as time goes on.

What's new, drama sells. Yes, those channels knew they would get views from those videos, but consider the alternative. If any of the major players decided they weren't going to take a stand for editorial integrity, they would have been accused of being shills. And, in my opinion, rightfully so...

Just for clarification, did you actually mean 60 mWh? 60mWh is on par with some small power plants. 60 kWh seems a bit low, but 60k kWh is such a large number I'm a bit flabbergasted.

300 miles of stated range is a minimum for consideration, 400-500 miles would be the point I didn't care anymore. Do I need that range all the time? Nope. But last Tuesday between leaving home that morning and returning that evening, needed to drive around 250 miles. In a situation like that...

I had an iptorrents account with a large ratio (something like 6:1) but let the account lapse. Any chance someone can reinvite me?

I never really kept up with it because a little extra power usage didn't really bother me, but hasn't this been an issue since Kepler? Maybe Fermi? I seem to remember reading about higher power draw when you used two monitors with dissimilar resolutions.

It can keep track of parking lots better than any human, yet still runs itself into a barrier at highway speeds. Right now, we can play the numbers game with self driving cars (automated driving accounts for x accidents, human driving accounts for y accidents), but they make mistakes that no...

My experience is similar, but not exactly the same. My N6 was laggy and slow a year after I got it. Dropping a custom ROM on it made it significantly better, but another 6 months and it was back to being crappy and slow. The fact that the Google phone couldn't manage to stay stutter free for...

Apple's OLED implementation is leagues better than Samsung's or Motorola's though, even discounting color saturation. I'm late to the party, but I had one of the first major Android phones with an OLED screen (Samsung Captivate), and have used several since then. Even in period I thought the...

I guess i7s are dropping hyperthreading from now on? Seems a bit ridiculous that you gain two cores, but lose threads with this generation. Especially with the i9 costing as much as it does.

So you'd also handicap the card for high performance compute workloads? I doubt universities would appreciate their cards being nerfed. Same goes for Pixar or whoever else is trying to use them to render huge workloads in a centralized fashion.

The only complaint I have with mine is how easily this screen scratches, but a) my Nexus 6 was much the same, and b) I have absolutely no screen protector. Even still, I feel this glass is way, way softer than it should be. Next refresh cycle, I'm probably going to shell out for the Whitestone...

I don't get my ID swiped when I have the receipt. Buy the computer in cash (can't track a CC#), keep the receipt (no DL tracking), vary the store (no single store has an inordinate number of returns) and times you come in (you don't see the same employee twice). You could probably get away...

Now we just need to make sure everyone standardizes on the same thing so we don't have 7 competing standards, and call centers that only support 2 of them. This is a good thing, but it is only beneficial if the information is actually in a meaningful format. The problem is alluded to in the...
