    New LG 4K 'Cinema' Format 4096x2160 Panel Now In Production

    The problem comes when YOU ARE the creator of the content. I'm hoping that this panel shows up in hardware LUT displays as well (and that perhaps one day I can afford it).

    Hard mouse pad?

    I like hard surface with low friction/high glide but some texture for feedback. I'm really liking my Func F30.R.

    Computer reboots when accessing NAS share.

    Is there any chance that it's trying to do autoplay or something similar on that share for some reason? (It's a long shot)

    Best way to hide data

    I've seen this suggested in the thread a lot. I would kind of expect based on reputation that the nation in question would be 1/ blocking access to cloud based storage and/or 2/ carefully monitoring the kind of activity to/from said storage.

    Calibrating NEC LCD2490WUXi2: Tips needed.

    Tips? The process is pretty much a couple of click with Spectraview. You definitely, DEFINITELY want to go the Spectraview route to do this so that the internal hardware LUTs are used. Once you have an appropriate colorimeter (and have licensed Spectraview) it's a completely hands off...

    The perfect ZFS home server motherboard.

    Seems like Asrock got a lot of things right there. Too bad they didn't equip it with a high quality Intel onboard NIC too.

    Intel NSA Security issue - Backdoor to access your PC using Intel

    The first thing I was thinking is that you need far more than 3G radio hardware to actually do something with it. You'd need a data plan on every carrier in every country around the globe for every single Intel vPro processor made. Who is paying the carriers for that? Who is keeping all of...

    Windows 8.1, so far so good

    But "UPGRADE" licensing is not the same as an "upgrade" install even though in English we use the same word. You could have a perfectly valid license to upgrade (being the owner of an eligible previous edition) but you MUST do a clean install because, for example, it's your first time going...

    Best slick but silent mouse pad

    I have always hated mouse pad shopping because everyone's terminology is a little different. I like low friction, good glide, no sticktion, but a rough texture that helps to communicate by touch how far/fast you've moved the mouse. I'm using a Func F.30R which I like a fair bit. I really like...

    Windows 8.1, so far so good

    Yes, weird. I'm a TechNet member but I also purchased a retail Win8 key when they were running the promo earlier this year. I never ended up using it yet - I decided to wait for 8.1 to use it on my main workstation, and I want to do a clean install. I'll be a little ticked if the Win 8.0...

    PC can't 'restart' from Win7 anymore - "Overclocking Failed!"

    So I did the big jumper-based CMOS clear and threw everything back together. I saw at least one normal restart (it could have been two) following that process but again today the system can't restart. I think all I did was set XMP timings (to rated, not overclocked) and then put it back to...

    When do you juggle process priorities?

    The only time I touch it is if I'm doing large file compressions (like huge 7zipped backups) or video encoding (like 6-12 CPU hours rendering an AVCHD disc). I make sure that the processes are set to lower than normal so the system stays responsive. Generally I've found that the apps...

    PC can't 'restart' from Win7 anymore - "Overclocking Failed!"

    Yeah - I know the "Overclocking Failed!" message is pretty generic, misleading, and can't be taken at face value. I saw the "wake on PCIe" thing in a thread about cold boot issues. I tried it and that's not the fix. I have also completely removed nHancer, nVidia performance, nVidia system...

    PC can't 'restart' from Win7 anymore - "Overclocking Failed!"

    Pretty sure 3602 was stated as one of the ones you could not downgrade.
