    New and simpler hack lets you bypass Microsoft account requirement when installing Windows

    I never understood this fighting about which OS is better. Use whatever suits your needs. However, just because you like it, it doesn't make it better than another OS. Microsoft also forces you to do things their way. Currently there is no way to get rid of the Pinned apps Startup menu and...

    Tesla Model Y refresh arrives to the US in March, with a massive price hike

    Typical Techspot article. Completely false. It doesn't "start" at $60k. It is $60k. It is one model called Launch Edition. It's fully loaded with all the options. I paid $60k for my Tesla Performance after I added $8k of options to the $52k base price. After the launch edition, they'll...

    The Best Value Gaming CPUs: 28 Top CPUs Tested

    That video is pointless. The comments pretty much have it covered. Who titles their video "4k gaming" and proceeds to not do any tests at 4k? And then he calls those that merely want to see 4k testing a vocal minority. Steve has to be the most arrogant reviewer I came across...

    A whopping 37% of Steam users' playtime in 2024 was spent on titles released eight or more years ago

    That's me. Just got FarCry5 again and it came with a free FarCry3 so played 3 and now 5. What a stunning difference in visuals. I just looked it up and even 5 is 8y old. Next up: Mass Effect trilogy, Control, Metro Exodus, Amnesia Bunker, Fallout 4 and Dark Descent, Shadow of the Tomb...

    HDMI 2.2 to be unveiled at CES, offering higher bandwidth, resolutions, and refresh rates

    It's for 8k @ 240hz. These things have to come out first before there is a need and gives TV manufactureres time to implement them. This is a TV standard. DP is a PC standard. I'd rather have DP 2.1 UHBR20 in 2025 video cards. You won't need HDMI 2.2 for a long time in video cards. Most...

    Bank of America lowers AMD stock rating, citing Nvidia AI dominance and declining PC demand

    That visual representation either did a horrible job of picking colors or tried to hide the negatives. On the right negatives are color coded red but on the left red is just another color. Coincidently Radeon which is represented in red is negative but also Xilinx is blue but also negative...

    IPS vs VA vs TN vs QD-OLED vs WOLED Explained

    OLEDs make improvements every year. LED TVs have been what they are for a very long time. I forgot how old my TV is but there is nothing that makes me want to replace it. It will definitely be an OLED TV. https://tftcentral.co.uk/articles/gen-3-samsung-qd-oled-2024-panels-and-improvements...

    IPS vs VA vs TN vs QD-OLED vs WOLED Explained

    They're identical other than the light source. What you're talking about could have been applied to cold cathode fluorescent lamp backlighting technology also. https://www.flatpanelshd.com/focus.php?subaction=showfull&id=1474618766 LCD panels have not changed fundamentally over the last 10...

    IPS vs VA vs TN vs QD-OLED vs WOLED Explained

    QD-OLED panels are brighter than WOLED and it's not even close. You might want to revise your brightness section. https://www.rtings.com/tv/learn/qd-oled-vs-woled Brightness and color volume are two closely related aspects of a display's performance. Whereas the color gamut measurements above...

    IPS vs VA vs TN vs QD-OLED vs WOLED Explained

    LED displays are actually a type of LCD, but with LED backlighting instead of CCFLs. The latest Macbooks Pro have Quantum Dots in their LED LCD displays.

    AMD X870/X870E Motherboard Roundup: 21 Motherboards Tested

    Thanks for the comprehensive review. However, you left some important things out. For one, Taichi has a VRM fan and heatsinks. Does anyone else do that? Taichi also has M.2 heatsinks at top and bottom. This is pretty important these days. There is no mention of heatsinks in your reviews...

    AMD X870 Flagship Roundup: Zen 5 Motherboards Are Here

    "Other than the toned-down look, the Taichi and Taichi Lite are the exact same motherboard." That's incorrect. From the paragraph above. "The VRM is covered by large heatsinks connected with a heat pipe, and despite this, Asrock still included a small active fan. However, we couldn't hear the...

    Asus ROG Swift PG32UCDP 32" Review: Top 4K WOLED

    If you like better color that you can notice, buy a QD-OLED. You prefer peak luminance that you can't notice, buy a WOLED. WOLED and QD-OLED being the same price is wild. But even Samsung is mixing up WOLED and QD-OLED in their TVs without marking on the box which panel they are using...

    The OLED Burn-In Test: Three Month Update

    HDR 400 True Black is not the same as HDR 400. You're also looking at 100% window. It can reach 1000nits. Here is a good article. Text clarity has been mostly fixed with the 3rd gen QD panels...
