Isn't having cameras connected to the Internet controlled entirely by a third party just great?

Hue is FREE right now on Steam. 94% Very Positive reviews.

Free to keep when you get it before Jun 8 @ 1:00pm.
 
For those that remember, Hue was given out for free on Epic Games nearly 3 years ago.
 
Hue is a 2016 puzzle platformer published by Curve Games, formerly known as Curve Digital. They changed the name in October 2021 as part of their commitment to better support developers. A few years ago Hue was also ported to iOS and Android but oddly enough they have different listed developers and a different name as the title and it's free on iOS but $4.99 on Android. Weird.

TGV Voyages Train Simulator is FREE right now on Steam. 45% Mixed reviews... People are claiming crashes.

Free to keep when you get it before Jun 2 @ 1:00pm.
 
Installing the game now and gonna look into the crashes.
 
EDIT: Game works just fine, not a single crash. I get like 25-40 fps on the highest settings so I'm gonna play on Low for a nice 70 fps boost! I'd imagine the AA is hitting performance when using the highest settings.

To celebrate its 10th Anniversary...

Battlestar Galactica Deadlock is FREE right now on Steam. 85% Very Positive reviews.

Free to keep when you get it before Apr 9 @ 1:00pm.

It's not like they wouldn't already have your address if the Person who drives the Tesla also bought it for themselves. But yes this is very much concerning. I just hate the fact that alot of electric cars in someway have to have IoT features aka be connected to the Internet and have weird Software bugs which might even be able to kill you. I once used to be a fan of their Cars but I wouldn't ever buy one now. I just want an electric Car with no Bullsh*t because I really enjoy how cool and efficient electric Motors are.

SLUDGE LIFE is FREE right now on Steam. 95% Very Positive reviews.

Free to keep when you get it before Mar 30 @ 1:00pm.
 
Fun facts, Sludge Life is an indie first person game oriented toward graffiti. The game was designed by musician Adam "Doseone" Drucker and artist Terri Vellmann following their release of Disc Room, High Hell and Heavy Bullets on Devolver Digital. Sludge Life was released in 2020 as a free Epic Games exclusive for the first year.
 
Sludge Life was banned by the Australian Classification Board after rating the game a "refused classification" in June 2021. Although details from the Board were scant, the May 2021 review and re-rate of Disco Elysium: The Final Cut (banned in March 2021) suggested that the reason for Disco Elysium may have been for the same reason: "use of drugs". Similar rating boards like the ESRB (USA) has given Sludge Life similar mature rates such as Mature 17+ (M).
 
If SLUDGE LIFE becomes an interest be sure to wish list SLUDGE LIFE 2 as it shows as Coming Soon...

Free to keep when you get it before Mar 9 @ 1:00pm.
 
Figment was also given out for free on Epic Games a few years ago in April of 2020.

I would go with a monitor upgrade first, then better hardware down the road. The 10700k is still a very good CPU.
 
Choosing 1440p would also have less of a CPU bottleneck, so if it's affordable, that'd be the best choice. You could also keep the monitor for when you get an itch to upgrade again.

Your system itself is fine. Your 10700k is not bottlenecking it.
 
Get a better monitor, there is absolutely 0 point in buying an expensive system like that with a monitor like that. I would suggest a quality 1440p 240hz IPS one for around 400$, or 165hz. 
 
Just dont play on max settings because those tend to be pretty crap anyway.

Final Fight is FREE right now on Steam. 89% Positive reviews.

Free to keep when you get it before Dec 12 @ 12:00pm.
 
Be sure to snag the Capcom Arcade Stadium for FREE in order to play the game.
 
Final Fight is a series of beat 'em up video games by Capcom, which began with the arcade release of Final Fight in 1989. Set in the fictional Metro City, the games focus on a group of heroic vigilantes who fights against the control and various threats of criminal gangs, primarily the Mad Gear Gang. The series has sold 3.2 million units worldwide as of December 31, 2019.
 
The game began development as a sequel to the original Street Fighter released in 1987, under the working title Street Fighter '89 but the genre was switched from a fighting game to a beat 'em up and the title was changed to Final Fight following the success of Double Dragon. Final Fight was ported to various home computers and consoles, including the ZX Spectrum, Super NES and Sega CD. It hit Steam on May 24, 2021.
 
Fun fact, Robin Williams stated that he named his son Cody Williams after a video game character, which is believed to be Cody from Final Fight.

While I agree that social media is more or less poison(probably unpopular opinion as usual), I don’t believe it’s the governments place or right to take the place of what should be a parents choice/responsibility.

Dw. There’s just been a lot of jumping to conclusions and calling stuff click bait that isn’t really the right conclusion or click bait. That was just the comment I dialed in on. Sorry. 
 
 
For sure. And with the different connectors that GN got compared to Igor with FE cards it just made it more difficult and time consuming to find the root cause. Bad batch? Different cable company cutting costs? We might find out eventually or it’ll be a “we found it. We fixed it.” press release. 
 
 
Which is why I do like GNs reporting. Steve was very clear he didn’t know the answer and has to do more research. He doesn’t and didn’t act like he knows everything. Combine that with their willingness to take down videos because of bad information and that gets a lot of respect from me. 

The purchase that brought me back to gaming. Deck is an impressive device and worth every penny

Mostly comes down to weird quirks when I had AMD. Minecraft with shaders would have bad frametimes, every couple seconds my FPS drops to sub 10 for a second, then back up. The nvidia gpu at the exact same settings runs at a constant 144 fps (16 view distance, complementary shaders with shadows set to 16, Versions 1.17 and 1.18) Even the 1080 Ti I used to have didn't have these issues.
 
7 days to die runs like crap regardless of hardware, but in Alpha 19, the AMD gpu would have sub 20 fps while either moving your character or your camera, even when set to 1080p. Coil whine was abnormally loud only in this instance as well. Turning shadows off had the game run as expected. Fixed in alpha 20, but that issue was never present in Alpha 19 with the nvidia card.
 
Left 4 Dead 2 at this point should be a CPU bound game, running at hundreds of frames per second with any modern system. The AMD card would drop down to 50 fps during hordes (90 with Vulkan enabled), where the nvidia card only drops down to 295 in the same situations.
 
When the AMD GPU worked as intended, I loved it. Borderlands 3, Metro Edodus Enhanced and heavily modded Skyrim ran like a dream. Unfortunately for most of what I played it was unable to deliver consistent framerates. All of this said, the issues, minus 7DTD as alpha 20 was out at the time, I had were completely absent when I demoed Manjaro Linux for two months. Leading me to believe AMD's Windows drivers are to blame. Had to DDU AMD's drivers a few times due to failed updates, or Windows breaking the adrenaline software.
 
GPUs in question are the 6900 XT and 3080 Ti, paired with a 5900x running at 3840 x 1600. Had a chance to side grade for a few hundred bucks and took it.

So... not present in official UEFI firmwares from manufacturers' websites that 99% of users download from.
 
If you're installing UEFI firmware coming from other sources and you get infected, that's on you; the same as with normal software.
 
I guess we'll have to wait and see if the news tells us whether the attacker had physical access to the computers or not, before or after they were sold or deployed.
 
I doubt it's a coincidence that 4 out of 4 of the countries mentioned have authoritarian regimes and/or high corruption.

Hard disagree.

Actually it can help increase the lifespan of the GPU. And it will make it quieter, cooler and use less power which is also nice.

As a CAD Technician I feel I am qualitied to answer this
 
*ahem*
 
Pretty fucking easy actually, printers are the bane of the tech world

Shouldn't the postal office not also start opening letters then?

CPU reviews tend to use lower resolutions to force a CPU "bottleneck" and show the difference in performance.
 
Generally (although not always), the higher you go in resolution, the more the burden shifts to the graphics card and the CPU makes less of a difference as long as it's enough to keep the GPU "fed."

Hopefully they make it an option and not a requirement. I wont pay monthly for my phone. I buy every phone out right. 

I was expecting the exact opposite of this.
VESA HDR certification is a joke.
At least displayport is okay.
