    Cord-Cutting, Or How to Stream your Way to Success

    I was under the impression that Amazon got away with not taxing sales in most states since they don't technically operate out of them. Has that changed?

    Cord-Cutting, Or How to Stream your Way to Success

    I think you'd have to setup the DNS through the router, and then block access to googles DNS servers, also through the router. As far as I know, there's no way to force the Chromecast to use another DNS server any other way.

    Cord-Cutting, Or How to Stream your Way to Success

    I don't really see the big deal. Most of your states have lost so much tax revenue from people shopping on Amazon instead of locally, using Netflix instead of renting movies and paying for TV packages, etc. It's essentially what, an extra 70 cents a month for Netflix? Hardly worth some big...

    Honestly, I think the stock google keyboard is the best of the bunch right now. Seems to have the least amount of derp, and does gesture typing better than Swiftkey for me.

    I have fiber to the house and I pay $85/month for this in Canada, plus bundled TV, and I'm straddled with a fucking 500gb cap. Cunts.

    I've been using my 2500k for over 5 years now at ~4.2Ghz, and even the Skylake shit doesn't make me feel the need to upgrade. Might not bother until PCIe SSD's become commonplace and I need more lanes. It's just sad that AMD hasn't really done fuck all in that time.

    Anyone have access to or know of a good textbook site? Specifically looking for Java Foundations: Introduction to Program Design & Data Structures 3rd edition. Pearson (Addison-Wesley), 2014 ISBN-978-0-13-337046-1. Fucking highway robbery out there.

    I recently grabbed aAmazon.com: FiiO E10K USB DAC and Headphone Amplifier (Black): Electronicsfor my computer. It's pretty highly regarded as the best DAC/AMP solution for under $100, and thus far, I'm really happy with it. What really sold me on it was the fact that it has a line out as well...

    Ballers (HBO show with The Rock)

    It was enjoyable enough. Entourage was a guilty pleasure of mine, so I guess this is right in my wheelhouse. It's definitely not something I'll be on the edge of my seat waiting for every week, but it's good enough earn 30 minutes of my time. Hope it gets better.

    I wish Wind would expand to more cities. The seem to be the only carrier in Canada that isn't hell bent on fucking its customers in the ass with outrageous data fees. I'm in Kelowna, and would ditch bell for them in a fucking heartbeat. I went from an original Samsung Galaxy S to a Oneplus...

    LTT did a review of the G1 980Ti and it shat all over the Titan X. It's not up on their YouTube channel yet, but even with that card not running its OC profile, it was better than the Titan across all benchmarks.

    I recently purchased a G1 970, so Freesync is pretty much out of the question for me. The two monitors I mentioned are really the only good 1440p G-sync monitors I can find here. Have any of you used a 24" 1440p monitor? Is that too many pixels in too small of a space?

    I've had a couple problems in the past with Logitech mice with the buttons become squeaky or double clicking, but their customer service is fucking top notch. I sent them a G500 that had the LMB starting to fail, so they immediately sent me out a G500, and then when I told them the button had a...

    I'm so jealous of you fuckers with your G-Sync monitors. I've been using the same shitty 23" Acer for like 10 years now, way overdue for an upgrade. Problem is, they're so damned expensive in Canada. $600 for a 24" BenQ XL2420G or $900 for a 27" ASUS PG278Q ROG Swift, and those seem to be the...

    I don't know much about them personally, but a friend of mine who is really into all that shit raves about the Audioengine A5+. They're typically around $400 for the two speakers with their built in amp.

    There's no way you're using more than 2-300 watts at idle, even with those power hungry 290's. Use HWMonitor or something to check to make sure your voltage rails are stable (within 5% of what they should be). Try a fresh install of whatever OS you're using too. If the problem persists you'll...

    2015 NHL Playoffs Thread

    This playoffs has been pretty dull IMO, not nearly enough drama. I've been watching a lot of the games, but things just seem too defensive again. Reminds me of the year the Hurricanes won the cup before they changed all the rules to open things up. It's too easy to just shut down an offense...

    NCIX prices are all in Canadian dollars. Newegg.com doesn't ship to Canada at all, and newegg.ca generally has worse prices than NCIX. Same deal with Amazon. Shipping is always super expensive to get things to Canada, and there's always a chance you'll get dinged with duty fees. On occasion...

    Why do they even have a glass back? Sounds like a terrible design decision. I like the OPO's back having some texture to help prevent a drop.

    The fact that they somehow feel justified in charging $80-100 just to watch this shit on TV says a lot about the sport and where it ranks these days.
