Depends what your definition of "SFF PC" is. My setup (i5-7500 and 1060) is relatively tame, but still probably needs ~200W or more under high load. I think the term being used should perhaps be "HTPC"?! Even then, there are HTPCs that will break this brick. My old MSI GT70-based laptop (with a...

"waiting is for squares." So is being an unpaid beta tester for Microsoft. I'd gladly skip this update if I could.

I'd be stunned if the new 300-series mobos supported Kaby or Skylake. Not that it wouldn't be possible, but there would be no practical point. With Coffee Lake available (and priced to compete against Ryzen), who would buy Kaby or Skylake CPUs to put in the new motherboards?!

Can't say I'm a fan of the latest redesign (a la cryoburner's image), either. Too much white space, images are too large. Ofc, I use an adblocker, too (uBlock Origin) on Vivaldi, so I've been used to seeing pretty much all the content links without having to scroll. I'd much rather go back to...

I'd like a way to opt out of OS updates that seem to only promise to disrupt my camera-less, mic-less, HMD-less and touchscreen-less desktop productivity and add irrelevant Windows Store bloatware that I will be unable to remove. Sigh. This is why Windows XP and Windows 7 will never die out in...

Good luck.

@RomeoReject I'm gonna guess that there are significant penalties that can be brought to bear (e.g., terrorism charges, organized crime charges), but actually gathering enough evidence to make charges stick is difficult. I will also hazard that it's difficult to track/find the command and...

Innodisk has some really interesting products like VLP SO-DIMMS and interesting form-factor SSDs and memory. Hope insurance covers any losses.

I hope that Digi-Cert knows how the fraudulent certificates were issued so it can avoid the mistakes going forward, otherwise Google could just blacklist them, too.

I don't know whether to be encouraged or dismayed by the VCs consolidating the stock for a majority stake. I fear that the new "ownership" could portend mediocrity and commoditization for Corsair's products.

Let's see, who doesn't like Ukraine? Oh, yeah! Russia!

"2TB of flash ready to hold a Steam Library" This seems a bit overkill because 1) an Optane cache can reputedly make cheap and reliable "spinning rust" sing and 2) who keeps 2TB of games on local storage just in case they might want to play any random one of them?! (Or is that just Skyrim with...

Where will the data come from when NOAA's budget cut kicks in?!

PIO boards are as rare as hen's teeth stateside, so I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for this case or boards to put in it. Not a consumer product.

Sounds like grounds for demanding the US Federal Government provide free credit monitoring for all US citizens...lol
