    Comment by 'MercilessDeth' in 'I hate how TVs give you less features now instead of more'

    A USB hub supplies more ports, that's all. The throughput is still limited by the I/O of the port it's plugged into. If you're transporting files between USB drives plugged into a hub plugged into one port...well the port can only handle so much. Two USB ports next to each other are most...

    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0049SCB2Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_RhcyFb7RJJXRJ This one works with PS4, as I used to use it. Also, PS4 requires at least a certain HDMI revision (1.4 I think?) and HDMI cables rarely mark the versioning number anywhere, especially cheaper ones. An AV receiver handles...

    [POLL] 2020 U.S. Presidential Election

    I'm not really sure a vote in the general for Biden would go far in my state, but I am registered. Just never felt like I wanted to go to the polls. I think you're right about down-ballot though, where I can have a better impact, so I'll check into my options there. I'm far from a GOP fan, but I...

    [POLL] 2020 U.S. Presidential Election

    I read through the links, and I'll admit that I didn't watch the primary debates so a lot of that was new info to me. The problem is, as I mentioned before, is my worldview about politics (and I pretty much stay as apolitical as the world will allow me). I see what Biden says, and I like the...

    [POLL] 2020 U.S. Presidential Election

    I do find that interesting about the previous poll here--I don't think I saw it then. Trump definitely had support in 2016 from people who would not normally go GOP. I think he scooped up disillusioned Bernie supporters, since both his and Bernie's campaign focused a lot on fighting against...

    [POLL] 2020 U.S. Presidential Election

    I didn't vote in the poll because I've never voted in a presidential election. I've never held much faith in the political process in the US, and throughout my life I've not felt that material conditions have improved for the general populace as a result of our political system. That said, I...

    Gaming Nintendo account hacked, hacker used stolen credit card; how screwed am I?

    I'm not saying panhandling is unacceptable (there's a lot of circumstances in life) nor that being on food stamps is unacceptable (same reason). I don't think you and I are in disagreement about that. Kind hearted people choose to finance a person so that they do not starve to death, not so...

    Gaming Nintendo account hacked, hacker used stolen credit card; how screwed am I?

    If you panhandle for food money, then try to spend it on video games, get banned, lie to the company that can verify you're lying, and then lie about it on a message board, there's probably not much recourse for the account unfortunately. In many ways I hope this is just trolling to play into...

    [Update] RetroArch servers and repositories have been hacked

    There's lots to process here. The lack of backup/fail over/redundancy for the builds is whatever. I'm a big proponent of backups because I've never needed them until I needed them and getting cavalier has cost me data a time or two myself. Gaining access to both the buildbot and GitHub points...

    Games that require serious non game skills to play?

    It's funny that the Leisure Suit Larry "age check" quiz is mentioned. You could certainly be old enough to play that game now and probably need to reference some other source for the answers if your weren't an adult at the time it was released. I think the (in)famous Silent Hill 3 Shakespeare...

    Humble's Fight for Racial Justice bundle offers $1,243 worth of games and comics for $30

    I'd recommend buying it and just tuning the sliders for devs/humble/charity so that charity gets $0 (I do that 100% of the time anyway, charities are just grifters of varying quality). But for this one none of the three deserve a penny.

    id Software to remove new Denuvo anti-cheat from DOOM Eternal after major backlash

    The whole "angry mob" mentality is a bit silly and blows up insignificant issues a lot of times, I'll agree with that. But the update really didn't give a ton of indication that, once applied, anybody running Linux would no longer be able to even boot the game. This locks me out of the single...

    G2A keeps promise involving illegal game key scandal after paying out $40k to Factorio developer

    I don't necessarily disagree with the idea of grey market key sites (though, clearly, there's an issue where grey market and black market overlap). This is clearly a PR release to paint an out-of-court settlement as a "positive" move on the part of G2A though. The dev took the $40k because it's...

    Retro-Bit shows off its "improved" take on a Dreamcast controller, set for release this year

    I'm sure it's been noted, but the 6-button design doesn't seem that odd if you've played with one of these... If you find the Dreamcast pad uncomfortable though, this thing certainly has a unique feel
