Literally their least interesting product. An oversized 3440x1440 monitor, married to a desktop base, with manual adjustments for the flex. The pixel density is terrible, the base requires you to sacrifice desktop real estate to it, and most people will stop bothering with changing the...

"For another comparison, in the Swedish sport of Stångstörtning, a roughly 57-pound log is tossed, with the world record distance being 32 feet." Caber toss says, 'Hold my beer.'

Their lasers are just as bad too. They have 3rd party blocking circuitry in those and they have at least some of the models that require you to create an online account to activate the printer and I've periodically had that revert and require you to activate it again (activation prevents...

I hope to hear the sweet, dulcete tones of Enrique Lorres saying the subscription model is under-performing.

They've changed it so it doesn't force a connection to proceed. You still need to tell it to go the route of Domain setup to get to making a local account. It doesn't highlight that you can avoid the MS account.

They don't force the requirement to connect online anymore, so you can choose a couple of alternate options when it prompts you to make a Microsoft account and create a local account instead. It's not apparent, but it's there. They used to force you to go online to setup at all, so you had to...

In all fairness, they don't make the option to create a local account readily apparent, even after removing the absolute requirement they had previously (this could be bypassed, but it took working outside default OOBE).

If you're hunting for files that take up space and where they reside, Treesize Free is a good option. It's a small download and the install footprint is just as small (great tool when you're trying to rescue something that has almost zero free space). If you're deleting/disabling the Windows...

They are in a professional space, but often not so in consumer space. Many of the cheaper bullet/ptz have the connections exposed and often the onboard card slot readily accessible without tools (I've installed and serviced a large number of camera systems). The dome and turret style are...

If you must use wireless cameras for security, they need to support some sort of onboard recording/storage in addition to network storage, that storage needs to be somewhat secured (tools at minimum to remove it), and the power needs to be secured from easy tampering. Most cheaper cameras...

This was in response to a person using a GPU that would struggle at 1080 High+ settings for modern games, not to mention anything beyond that. The person I was commenting on will need a significant video card upgrade before he could even worry about maxxing out VRAM. If you're gaming at 4K...

I'm the same. 3440x1440 in a 34" was the sweet spot. I had a 40" 4K with decent specs that I tried as a monitor and the resolution didn't bring enough to the table to chase it any further given what I had to give up in frame performance. I preferred having the greater relative screen...

It carries a bit less weight complaing about it when you're rocking what was a sub $200 video card. There's things other than a reasonable price keeping you from the card. By all means complain where appropriate, but unless people stop buying it, your complaints will acheive nothing. I...

So 3.5-4 weeks and Skynet?

You're complaining about the VRAM (which doesn't matter as much as you think) and the price when you're sporting a bottom budget card. There's any number of cards you could upgrade to with a $300 budget that will blow that 570 out of the water. These should be over 2x the performance of your...
