    So I saw this video on YouTube and thought "what better way to see Linus (or Luke #BringBackLuke) completely fry a 1080ti?" After all Linus has already delided a 6700k, why not blow up a video card? Maybe have it in the vein of those manly videos that Linus likes so much. Just a thought. #BringBackLuke

    I'm putting this here, because I am 90% sure that Ubisoft is just trying to fix this without informing anyone. I started getting e-mails this past week that my account and password had been changed with Ubisoft. At first I thought this was a phising scam. But the websites they linked me to worked out. However the site that it links to is just a page where you have to find your region specific support. The phone number listed there informs you that if your problem is not specifically that you can't log in then you are SOL over the phone. If you follow the link to the region support then you have to log in to do live chat. But of course live chat has a high volume. Suspicious. If you go over to the Ubisoft forum there is a note there that you should change your password. All this leads me to believe that Ubisoft has been hacked, but they aren't telling anyone. Further their customer support is a joke. Just keep digging Ubi. NOTE TO MODS: If you need to move this because it is not "news" I understand. But I think this qualifies.

    About two years ago when Comcast and Netflix were in court I had this issue. Was watching a show on Netflix and it just kept buffering. Switched over to the same show on Xfinity and it loaded right away and streamed in HD. Back to Netflix and it throttled. Opened Speed Test. Told me that My speeds were fine. So yeah, Comcast is doing for internet what Volkswagon did with cars. "Is this a test? OK lets lie."

    One thing to keep in mind is this is using Netflix servers. So you might get 100Mbps from other sites. But the point is that Comcast is actively throttling their competition.

    EDIT: I decided to add a poll to this. ------------------------------------------------- So Netflix released on Wednesday Fast.com. The purpose of the site is to test how fast your internet connection is. Gotta love that last line. "The results should be similar in most cases." In my opinion this was created as a direct jab at Comcast. It is well known that Comcast has throttled Netflix in the past. The point here is to hold Comcast's feet to the fire and make sure they are doing their job. So are they? You tell me. I'm paying for 70Mbps.

    The only 6.5u spacebar I can find is from Max Keycaps and is black and translucent.

    So for the long keys (shift, enter, space) the keyboard either has a stablizer bar or dummy swtiches to make sure that when you press on any part of the key (not just where the switch is) that the switch gets pressed. If there is a stablizer bar, then you have to be very careful pulling off the keys. On this keyboard you can just pull up and not have to worry about taking it off the switch then moving it off the stablizer bar. If you are still confused take a look at Luke's Ultimate Keycap guide.

    The astute among you may notice a couple of things. First that I have some extra keys. This is because I ordered a 104 set for my TK wich is basically a TKL+. So I have all the num keys and PrtScrn and so on. Second, you may notice that I did not change out the spacebar or the CTRL keys. This is because WASD does not have those keys in the sizes I need. Row 4 of this keyboard is non-standard, so yeah. I have to work with what I got. However, i can get 1.5u for the CTRL keys from other places. Third, you may notice that the OS keys are not Tux. My guess is I forgot to mention that when I put in the order. That is OK as I was planing to change those to Trifoce keys anyway. Fourth, the F5-F11 are media keys and not F keys. I wanted this. and it looks AWESOME! Fifth, This is board with dummy switches, which makes changing out the keycaps MUCH easier than other kinds of boards. All in all this was a pretty good keycaps switch. Some of the keys are not quite down all the way, although I suppose that after some use they will fix themselves. Let me know what y'all think.

    skip to about 49 min to see Jay explain why this isn't just typical copying.

    I can agree with the assessment here. I have had mine for about a week and I love my keyboard. I am however getting custom keys for mine.

    saw this update today. Looks like we get to see the heat spreaders. Also looks like it will include USB Type C Source: http://techreport.com/news/28450/skylake-boards-from-biostar-are-coming-in-august

    Yeah I figured it out thanks

    So Vic. Then are all the tech blogs wrong? They seem to be saying that no one needs to worry. But it sounds like you think Spotify is out.

    At first I thought it was odd that the promo image used Apple products. Then I realized that they are the (almost) the only products that use Thunderbolt. So my question becomes how sucessfull will this be right now? Without a lot of laptops that have Thunderbolt are people going to go out and buy a new laptop just to do this? Would you go out and buy a whole new laptop?
  18. Artificial Ignorance
    how?

    Because of the sucess of the Kickstarter campaign for Bloodstaind (originally posted here by Bouzoo), it looks like the Wii U and the PS Vita will be getting a port of said game. Normal streach goals right? Well sort of. Bloodstaind is being develeoped using the Unreal 4 engine, an engine so powerful that it was previously thought the Wii U could not handle it. (See this post by bitcrush!). The news today is that the comapny responsible for the port to Wii U and Vita, Armature Studio, has said that they will share code with anyone authorized on said systems. This could be really nice news for Wii U and PS Vita lovers.

    OP here, So I think we beat the innovate invent thing to death. But the question still remains. Did Apple buy out Beats because they actually wanted streaming music for the sake of streaming music or was it a cash grab to help boost iPhone sales?

    they mention a few times on the IndieGoGo page that the Developer version is clear. I'm guessing that will change for mass production
  22. Artificial Ignorance
    I was browsing IndieGoGo and came across this It's called the eNote and it seems pretty cool. Here is their promo vid. They display a few choice options for how it can be used. Like a digital parking stub, or signage at a store that has QR nutrition facts and auto updates. They say that they are crowdfunding because they feel that developers might come up with some new options that they can't think of. Honestly it's not too bad. $150 will get you a developer item and $700 gets you five. Not two bad for a product like this. They list the specs as below. I can see some people getting behind this. The only issue I see is the cost. A lot of the funtionality that they seem to be showing we already have. The question becomes how accessable can we get this. If I can buy one for $20 from my city and then use it as a parking stub then yes it works. But if I have to pay upwards of $50 I'm not sure. I think it might come down to the effective uses that people can get out of it. At any rate they have been up for 14 hours and raised $1,200 of the $75,000 goal.

    So apparently PornHub has an IndiGoGo campaign to make the first porn in space. They are calling it Sexploration. As of 11 hours they have $2,661 of thier 3.4Mil goal. Hoestly this doesn't surprise me but check out some of these funding rewards. For $20,000 you can write your own scene. For 'only' $150,000 you can get one of the spacesuits which are apparently 'great for cosplay.' No quite sure what to do with this.

    You talking about back in the 70s when Apple stole the GUI interface from Xerox?
