I hope that was a joke. But with the anti-NVidia zealots, you never know.

Utterly insensitive of you. You should have given it a proper burial in the backyard, next to the pet iguana.

Yet you appear to be treating it as a contest. And if you were confident in your facts, you wouldn't react so stridently to having them challenged. He stated he had no problems with installation. That was it. Then you countered with mocking condescension. Facts matter, Joey. That said, I...

The mere fact that you are so stridently outraged over an obviously tongue-in-cheek post more clearly demonstrates my point than I can myself. Zealotry is never a good look. It's even more ironic when your post couldn't be more wrong. In theory, stranded wire can be modeled as an infinite...

His idea is even more revolutionary than you think. Stranded copper wire is nothing more than a bunch of independent current-carrying strands. Why not monitor the load on each individual strand? That would be even safer and more robust still!

You remind me of a PC mag editorial in the 1980s. The author was angrily offended by the introduction of PCs with more than 640K of RAM -- not gigabytes or megabytes, but kilobytes. His rationale was, that since any PC program could easily fit within that figure, providing more would simply...

The lifespan issue is primarily with blue OLEDs .. the higher energy levels required degrade the emitters much faster. QD-OLED definitely outperformed the old LG panels, but having seen the new LG MLA (microlens) panels, I'd have to give the edge to them.

Yes, but a "white" LED is a still a blue LED, just operating through a Stokes shift conversion.

I'd heard that a few times, but I'd always thought the difference was minor -- until I read the comparison that @TSiAhmat posted, above.

Taken at face value, that seems a strike against the monitor; it's literally implying that, the entire time you're in front of it, you're causing excessive burn-in. LG is now quoting a 100,000 hour half-life for their latest OLED panels; a period as long or longer than the lifetime of other...

Off topic, but CRTs didn't have "native resolutions"; they were simply bandwidth limited. Video cards used to drive a CRT had certain pre-defined resolutions built into the DAC ... put simply, that resolution divided into the CRT's bandwidth gave you a maximum refresh rate.

One of the first multiplayer PC games I recall playing.

My mechanic works on engines all the time. He's never designed one. I based my figure on a prior estimate that 50% of home house fires are due to electrical appliances/devices, heir power cable, or the receptacle, not to internal wall wiring. Not that it's relevant. If that inside wiring...

Your conspiracy theory has it exactly backwards. NVidia spent far more designing, implementing, and promoting the new standard -- then redesigning it again for 12v-2x6 -- than the trivial cost of a second connector -- especially when nearly all that latter cost would have been born not by...

No, you've failed to understand the math. It's not the "lost sale", it's the fact that forcing a utility to purchase power generally costs them a great deal of money. The grid isn't a big bucket that you just pour electrons in and remove them as needed. Adding power at the wrong time can...
