    Microsoft finally putting Publisher out of its misery.

    To comment, I would get all three programs in that suite tbh. You effectively get one free and can use them all while inside Publisher using Chromas (switch between all apps while in the same file) without the need to export and import all the time.

    Microsoft finally putting Publisher out of its misery.

    Funny enough, I was tasked to make a newsletter as well not even 2 weeks ago, started with Publisher since we had M365, within an hour I requested Adobe InDesign. They said F no (monthly cost for business) so I went with Affinity’s suite. 137 bucks for Photo, Vector and template design was more...

    Latency Pipeline, "Input Lag," Reflex, & Engineering Interview

    Steve is definitely more direct in his approach but to say this is not sponsored by nvidia because he was not paid doesn’t really say anything. It’s effectively free marketing which will indeed have its perks in the future. Paid or not. It could just be access for future content. I don’t see...

    Microsoft says Xbox has "lost the console wars."

    Gen 7 yeah but towards the end with Kinect there were signs. Loads of people said it was going to be a problem for the One and like you said it effectively killed their momentum. What’s dumb is that even with that horrible launch they could have strived and been competitive. They just never...

    Microsoft says Xbox has "lost the console wars."

    You know, even though I'm now in my 40's with teenage kids and I very rarely even play video games it's posts like these that make me proud to be a veteran of the previous console wars both here and elsewhere. As someone who called this over a decade ago it makes me proud to know my hours of...

    Enshrouded

    I don’t normally play these types of games but have Valheim which I thought was terrible. I thought the world was boring as hell, it looked bad, and just had zero direction. Enshrouded has me more interested at least, it has clear instruction, clever story, looks ok, has a Zelda BotW feel to it...

    GeForce RTX 4070 Super reviews

    I’m willing to wait for it if I need to, so launch day availability is not an issue for me. Unless you’re talking about something else.

    GeForce RTX 4070 Super reviews

    Nah I've learned my lesson. With nvidia especially you want to sell your cards a full month prior to release at least. Throw your backup card in and wait till launch. The sell value difference after launch from before and after is huge. I can actually profit off my 4090 after having it for over...

    MSI Monitor Cheats for You

    The only time I thought I was cheating with hardware was way back when I used some device that hooked up to the Xbox iirc and let me use a keyboard and mouse. I think it was an XIM or something from WAY back when. It was the most fun I’ve ever had, just being able to slaughter everyone and...

    The Apple Vision Pro goes on sale in the US on February 2 for $3,499

    Well it’s definitely being used for military applications such as drone swarm flights as of late last year.

    Some Microsoft hardware is coming back

    It’s basically the industry standard imo.

    WTB: Budget Gaming Laptop

    I’ve got an older Lenovo 15” Legion 5i I don’t use anymore. 10750H 2060 16GB 1080p 240hz It still played everything fine at native res but I wanted a 16:10 and something with a little more juice (I got an Acer 16” with 4070 Ti for 1200 during Black Friday)

    Amazon Prime Video will start showing ads on January 29th

    I haven’t paid for cable in 15 years probably and rely on Plex and unRaid. I started with Windows Media Center a cable card and automation software to remove commercials back in the day. I also don’t pay for streaming. The only thing that sucks is some sporting events are not broadcast on local...

    Starfield Dev's getting a little petty on social media

    It’s trash because what made those games awesome (though flawed) was the exploration and world, interesting side quests, etc. Saying you can explore way more and more worlds is a perfect example of more not being better. Having to go through half a dozen loading screens and prompts to do a...

    Nvidia RTX 4090 power connectors melting?

    I just bought a replacement cable for my SFX 750 Corsair and haven’t had any issue. I REALLY need a 90 angle adapter because the NR200 is without a side panel (in a cabinet so no big deal) but I was always worried about this issue and never went with it. It’s in my media cabinet and I’d never...
