    Wonky System Startup Issue

    Final update. None of the above troubleshooting led to a resolution. It was the damn UPS I had it plugged into. Not sure what that's about. Why it would work but only after "warming it up". I have it plugged into a simple surge protector now and it's been working fine.

    Wonky System Startup Issue

    Multiple friends have mentioned to me that it could be power related. I remember during the build that there were two CPU power plugs: an 8-pin and a 4-pin. I didn't hook it up because the manual hinted and google suggested that the second one was for multi-GPU setups. My power supply came...

    Wonky System Startup Issue

    I can't believe I didn't think of this. My friend suggested a BIOS update. I have a vague memory during the setup of downloading the zip and seeing it was a *.cap file and putting it off until later because I didn't want to deal with it. LOL. So I looked and I was on version 0321 which is...

    Wonky System Startup Issue

    I'm having issues during start-up of my latest PC build. First thing: this PC works! Just having some weirdness on startup. Once started it does not have performance issues. I have been able to get it to start each day, after some trouble. Here's the system in question: ASUS TUF Z490 Gaming...

    Grim Dawn: Forgotten Gods Releases on March 27th

    It seems like a risky move to make an ARPG in 2019. Diablo 3 is still going strong on variety of platforms and there's a new Torchlight right around the corner. That being said; this has a nice clean look that I don't hate.

    Microsoft Admits Cortana Is an Epic Failure by Shamelessly Selling Amazon Echo Dot

    I could never even get her to acknowledge me speaking to her. How exactly are you suppose to pronounce the stupid name? Is it Cortan-aaa, Cortan-ah, or Cortan-ae? Only one of them is correct and will get her reply. Then M$ integrated it into the start menu of my desktop and all its ever done...

    Westworld Mobile Game Blatant Ripoff of Fallout Shelter

    I love it. I had no intentions whatsoever of playing the Westworld game because I thought it looked just like Fallout shelter. Now I'm going to play it BECAUSE it looks just like Fallout shelter. Good job shifting my perspective, Bethesda. Stupid assholes.

    It's On Like Donkey Kong

    Of all the games that I've heard about convincing someone to buy an entire console. Donkey Kong classic may actually be the dumbest.

    Amazon Patents Online Store Shopping Control

    I read a theory about this on slashdot this morning where a commenter suggested that Amazon has patented this to prevent other retailers from being able to effectively combat showrooming. (A concept that's been discussed on [H] in the past.)

    Neill Blomkamp's New Sci-Fi Short “Rakka” Now Streaming on Steam and YouTube

    You mean saved by Die Antwoord. I remember thinking "oh that's a really cool cameo" and about twenty minutes later thinking... "holy shit, that's no cameo, this is awesome". If anyone should get blamed for being bad in that movie, it's Hugh Jackman.

    The Game Industry's Disposable Workers

    I'm a full stack developer and we can't hire enough people, my company has expanded the department three times just in 2016. Maybe developers should give up on trying to land gigs developing games and you know... go where the work is.

    Best Buy Employees Surprise Teen Who Visited Store Every Day To Play Smash Bros.

    He didn't act excited at all. I remember being a kid and I remember that smug WTF look on his face. That kid was lying to his parents about his whereabouts. Now that he's stuck with that lie; has no way to get that WiiU into his house.

    Bug Allows Activation Lock Bypass on iPhone, iPad

    It's the FBI's fault; they opened the flood gates on people being interested in cracking these when they demanded the Apple unlock that terrorist iPhone. I think the incentive may have gone up even more when Cellebrite scored what had to have been a very lucrative payday.
