    I have a remarkable solution on my phone, its a seperate 3.5mm jack and USB C port
     
    But companies want to abandon the 3.5mm jack... Why not make a phone with two type C ports, or in the case of the iphone, 2 lightning ports?
     
    You'd at least be able to charge and listen without this article's absurd product!

    This is an interesting move, we'll see if other retailers take similar approaches.
     
    The way I see it this is a win-win, they get to sell more systems (probably) and customers get a fair price on GPUs, given you want a new system and not just an upgrade.
     
    Edit: sorry for the misleading original title, I just kinda copied the title from PCGamer, fixed it.

    bAiLeY sMiTh reacted to Tech_Dreamer in Drone used to rescue two stranded & drowning at rough sea.(World first)   
    Expectation :                                                                            Reality:
     
                         
     
     
     
    Reportedly a Worlds First UAV shore rescue,  Australia , a rescue drone was put into test under real life scenario has saved a pair of swimmers caught in rough seas in 700 meters off Lennox Head in the state of New South Wales. Nick named 'The Little Ripper'  an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) was originally introduced to monitor offshore activity to detect deadly predator such as sharks near the beached & alert the officials to clear the beaches , The drone was being tested by officials when the distress signal came in about the situation & it went from a test mission to a rescue mission.
     

    Yep, those two tiny dots.
     
     
    Lifeguards were busy testing the UAV off Lennox Head when the distress call came in  & the testing phase was quickly changed to a life saving response to locate & assist the people in distress, The response took barely over a minute (70 seconds) to locate the individuals offshore in distress in the rough sea as they were battered by waves . A scenario which would take more than a couple of minutes for Life Guards to show up & respond let alone find them in rough environments.  The drone then deployed pods it carried  to the distressed swimmers & the individuals managed to hold on to it & stay afloat the deployed drop pods expand so it gives more than enough room to grab hold of it without loosing grip. They managed to reach the safety of shore within minutes afterwards.


     
    Rescue footage
     
    The Little ripper drone is packed with supplies including inflatable rafts and GPS beacons, can fly through the air for two-and-half hours on a single charge In the future there would be more of these & more advanced versions of it hopefully , This one is on a small scale , maybe we can have a bit better implications of large sized drones for this , using it other than to kill someone from a remote place.
     
     
    The drone itself cost about 25k AUD, But seeing it in real life scenario & it's efficiency & usefulness, i think it payed off, In December 2017, the NSW government announced it would invest $430,000 in drone technology as part of a trial on the North Coast of NSW.
     
    Cool huh? Leave a comment on what You think about this whole shenanigan, with AI taking over something like this , it would be awesome .

    bAiLeY sMiTh reacted to A Silver in Amazon are having a f*cking joke   
    The cooler on my GTX 1080 was coming off and I couldn't repair it so I sent it back to Amazon and ordered a new one. Two days later and nothing arrived and on the third day, Amazon delivered something but it was a fucking box of feeding hay for an animal, not a £600 GTX 1080. What the fuck, I am now out £600 and have a box of hay instead of a GTX 1080... I don't care that Christmas is a busy time and that it came late, they should have at least gotten the fucking item right...

    My little brother used to think that the more data you store on an HDD, the heavier the component gets. He also thought that if you pivot the monitor clockwise during a transfer of files or an installation, it would go faster because the gravity would help the loading bar fill faster...^^
