    Question DDR3 memory, 16.0GB installed, 6.94 usable?

    Hello! I am an avid tomshardwae reader but rarely post, however I am kind of stuck... I have 2x4GB GSkill memory modules which I assume have been working fine for years. I just came across a set of 2x4GB Crucial Ballistix and installed it. Well, Windows now states 16.0GB but 6.94 usable, CPU-Z...

    Orange Pi 3 Ready To Take On Raspberry Pi 3

    I love how devices like this are 40 bucks but a phone- because it has a shell and screen runs $600. I know it's not apples to apples but I mean there has to be at LEAST 25%-50% if not more markup for these devices for the company to profit.

    That's all fine and dandy, and I love APU's. I actually have a AB350M Pro4 new in box waiting to use, this gives me another option. However why is it still impossible to find a decent laptop with a 2500u? There are 3 options as far as I can tell and they call have sub-par screen panels and other...

    Longer ISP Lock-In Will Increase Investment, Says New EU Commissioner For Digital Economy (Op-Ed)

    I read this article and thought to myself "I have never in my life ever heard anything this stupid' Then I read Dovah-Chan's comment and it stole Mr. Oettinger's 5 seconds of fame. You now hold the trophy in my book. Large ISP's make money hand over foot. Any consumer in favor of locking...

    Streamz Reveals Android-based Smart Headphones

    Loving this product, but trying hard to justify $550. I mean even with quality pieces the parts list shouldn't exceed $200. I know there's overhead and r&d but still the price seems a little ambitious.

    HTC One to Go On Sale at AT&T on April 19 for $199

    TanquenBut you can buy a 64GB Mico SD card for like $40 and that’s retail for a Kingston part. So even $100 extra for 32GB is a rip off. You know the cost difference for them is like mthere is no SD slot. What a scam. Not defending HTC or at&t for their pricing on this but the cost to...
