    Windows 10 Security Updates to Cost $61 After 2025, $427 by 2028

    Shameless but relevant follow-up. I did my intended AM5 upgrade and my specs on the left now reflect that. I can now officially say that Windows 11 is Fine™ with a side of shrug®

    Should the CDPR make the Fallout 5 instead?

    CDPR should make Cyberpunk 2078. Say what you want about the launch - and someone has already said it - but the combined loss of REDengine, their narrative skill and their artistic cohesion in a NightCity-like environment is a harsh blow that this industry won't fully understand until its...

    Sony PlayStation 5 Pro Specifications Confirmed, Console Arrives Before Holidays

    While I empathize being a fellow Canuckistan, I would caution measuring anything in our monopoly money *cough* Canadian dollars. Consoles are designed to be loss leaders so they can charge their Internet-device + Internet-service purchasing market a 3rd time. Better to measure in USD to get the...

    Windows 10 Security Updates to Cost $61 After 2025, $427 by 2028

    The TPM is the sticking point especially at that generational level. Very easy to have a Sky/Kaby Lake and not have a TPM. I built the PC in my profile specs in July 2016 using a ROG motherboard released late 2015, and don't have a TPM. "Just upgrade bro" is destroyed when that's a moderate...

    Sabrent Announces the Rocket 4 DRAMless M.2 Gen 4 SSD

    Sort of answering the question right there. Also, ours is not a species that does smart things to the envelope limit because they're smart things. We do things as quickly and cheaply as possible - as long as lives we care about aren't in danger - for maximum personal gain, until "good enough"...

    Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition Out Now on PC

    Thanks for the arrival date clarity but also *shrug* sounds like the cost of doing ownership business. Since most are willing to pay that cost - as well as buy things twice or three times - I don't mind this stratification in the industry. High speed for renters and and slow speed for owners...

    AMD Software Adrenalin 24.3.1 WHQL Released

    Get your specs into your profile so your messages come with context. Without your specs, everything you just said is potentially FUD. Not doubting you, advising you how to be a better community member.

    Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition Out Now on PC

    For what it's worth, Nixxes don't miss. I was impressed by them back in Tomb Raider/Deus Ex Human Revolution days and while I was on the fence when Sony bought them, I couldn't be happier with how they're being used. Their record speaks for itself, and they've spent literally decades making it...

    Frogware's "The Sinking City 2" Has Evolved into a Full-Blown Horror Game

    Out of curiousity, how did Alan Wake 2 disappoint? I haven't played it, just interested in your thoughts.

    Synology Introduces BeeStation: Create Your Own Cloud in Minutes

    Their nics are STILL on Namek?! I thought it was bad when I bought a DS220+ for my dad. Can't believe it's still an ongoing problem.

    AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D 12-core Processor Drops to $389

    We Kanuckistanians just can't have nice things

    Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut is Coming to PC on May 16

    Instantly wishlisted. Get back to rewarding game makers that deserve it.

    Humble Bundle Surpasses $250 Million Raised for Charitable Causes Around the Globe

    Happy to hear this. The real world impacts aside, every December I re-subscribe to the Humble Choice Classic plan and find that - some age aside - that its one of the best values in gaming if you're the "wait for it on sale" type.

    Warner Bros. Games and DC Launch Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League

    Despite being built on an anachronistic wallet vacuuming game design, I'm excited to see what becomes of this. The cutscenes look great and if there's some fun to be had, it could always be worth an hour over game pass. More like they're trying to make as much off of Harley Quinn as possible...
