    Headphones & Audio Devices

    The driver support for the Xonar is lousy though. I'm usingthesedrivers and they've worked a lot better for me.

    Headphones & Audio Devices

    I'm using HD558s with the Xonar DGX and the sound great to me. Though I'm certainly no audiophile.

    The Astronomy Thread

    Yep, likely not nearly as tricky landing this as it was for the rockets SpaceX is trying to reuse. From what I understand, Blue Origin is just trying to do some short duration space tourism, so they don't go very high and aren't carrying much weight. Still good to see. I only saw blackening on...

    So, I'm dying...

    Dammit, you're one of the good posters on this board. In my job I end up dealing with hospice frequently. Mostly nurses, but I also end up briefly talking to family members and patients as well. While it is generally 6 months or less, being on hospice isn't a guarantee of death. It's not...

    Smartphones

    Google photos default to private unless you change it and it's unlimited storage as long as they are 15 MP or smaller, otherwise they use your Google Drive storage. With Marshmallow finally introducing app backups and the various other backup/photo sync services, a properly set up phone dying...

    Spacebar runs power lines. Have to have copper to do it though.

    Fallout 4

    Don't care what the reviewers say. I'm expecting Fallout 3 with a new coat of paint, which will be the base for glorious mods.

    Fallout 4

    The top thread when I visited a little while ago was bitching about Bethesda forcing you to be a parent. The second post was bitching about being a straight parent.

    Another option would be the OnePlus X if you don't want a big phone, which is stupidly good for $250. The problem is you still have to deal with their invite system.

    That "test" is the equivalent of Buzzfeed clickbait.

    Smartphones

    The OnePlus Two is running OxygenOs, which OnePlus hired most of the main devs behind Paranoid Android to make. While I have very limited firsthand experience with it (ran the first release of it on the OPO for about a week) the PA guys generally kept things close to stock with a few tweaks here...

    Smartphones

    As far as I know you'd lose the number when you cancel your service. I imagine you'd have to port the number over to a WiFi calling service like Google Voice or somesuch to keep it. I'm not terribly familiar with those, as my only experience with WiFi calling is using it in Hangouts on a few...

    Smartphones

    That's correct. As long as the WiFi calling app you use isn't dependent on your carrier you're good. You could use the Hangouts dialer for WiFi calls if you want. The phone will keep functioning just fine, it just won't have any access to the cellular network.

    Smartphones

    If you've got Nova Launcher and TeslaUnread installed, make sure to turn on unread count badges in the Nova Launcher settings. In the upper right corner is a toggle that needs to be enabled for it to start working. For battery %, go to Settings>Status Bar>Battery Status Style and change it...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Oh I know getting rid of time zones would never happen, though I imagine they have to be a bit annoying for people who live on the edge of one. My perspective on it is a bit warped though, since I don't give a shit about what time the sun rises and sets.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    I've worked nights for almost 17 years now, so what time everyone else is on doesn't bother me. Making sure I'm paid correctly when the time changes, having to deal with coworkers showing up late the next morning and other little things associated with DST just rustle me. Hell, I'd be happy...

    Windows 10

    If you've gone through the upgrade process before on the same hardware that how it's supposed to work. I did the upgrade then wiped my machine and reinstalled from USB with no issues, but it doesn't seem to always work for everyone.

    Win 10 still has IE as well.

    Windows 10

    The biggest complaint I get from folks after they do the upgrade is their sound not working any more. Seems like a lot of hardware manufacturers are still slacking on drivers despite windows 8 drivers working most of the time.

    Windows 10

    The part that article doesn't mention is that the people getting that are the ones that opted in to the upgrade then decided to cancel the install. Though I have seen people saying that the Win 10 install was checked off in the optional updates in Windows Update despite not having checked it off...

    Desktop Computers

    I replaced my old Logitech G11 with a Corsair STRAFE about 2 months ago and it's fantastic. I got some o-rings for it and it's not terribly loud, though still louder than the G11. It uses Cherry reds so the actuation force is pretty low, but more importantly it provides an even amount of...

    The Martian (2015)

    Just saw it tonight, theater was almost full but it was cheapass tuesday, so it was only $6. I ended up reading the book first and I thought they did a great job adapting it. I understand them making the end a bit more "Hollywood", but one thing about it bugged me more than that. I really...

    Chromecast - the new Google TV

    It's not like you can't get them anywhere else though. I doubt this is lawsuit worthy, though I won't be surprised if someone tries. I can only see this as a stupid move for Amazon. It won't increase sales of Fire TV/Stick, may cost them a little consumer goodwill, and will drive a little...

    Chromecast - the new Google TV

    Well, if you want to get a Nexus Player, Apple TV or Chromecast from Amazon, better do it soon. Amazon, Gunning For Award, Will Be Banning Chromecast And Nexus Player Listings From Its US Store Amazon says it's to avoid confusion because those don't do prime video, so what about the...

    The Martian (2015)

    If I hadn't already been sold on this before, that interview would have sealed it. I get the feeling that this is going to be the kind of realistic sci-fi movie that I had hoped Interstellar would be. Only question is do I read the book before or after?

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    I'm not sure which rustles my jimmies more: having to do somebody else's job because they didn't do it right, or because they didn't bother to do it at all.

    Chromecast - the new Google TV

    Almost every review I've seen about the nexus player was disappointed in it and said the Shield TV was vastly superior, but it's also 3x the price. It's also just an Android TV device, not the full version of android, so it just does video and whatever games that are Android TV compatible. It...

    It would make sense that it would, since that's part of the Fi stuff IIRC.

    No idea on how easy the Fire tablets are to root, but I'm hoping the $50 one gets root quickly. I've been toying with the idea of putting one in my car. The amazon appstore isn't bad. You can check it out yourself by sideloading it on any android device. They've got most, if not all, of the...

    They said they same damn thing with Skyrim and it turned out to just be Gamebryo with a new coat of paint. I'm expecting more of the same.
