Very secure software doesn't help if your physical access security isn't equally good. The xbox 360 had good hardware and software security but was glitched out and sniffed till they cracked the software. Coupled with the native x86 arch of both the xbox one and PS4 one could expect even faster hacks that may even…

Technically Microsoft could release the encryption keys and just say that is enough and leave it at that. With those keys you could run anything you want it would just not be trivial for a user to prepare such a patch. I would expect though that they would never do that intentionally and they likely have no plans for…

Don't worry even if there isn't a Microsoft made kill switch someone will make one. They run on PC hardware (AMD CPU/GPU, and supposedly win8embded+server+proprietaryOS) so no amount of DRM is going to stop someone from reverse engineering the entire thing as the electronic and computer heritage is literally identical…

Betamax and HDDVD players will still work with betamax tapes and HDDVDs for the foreseeable future. They may not be making them anymore, they may not care about them anymore, they may not offer any support. But you can still use them with your existing media. The re-sale value on working/reconditioned Betamax machines…

4K at 24fps is what the HDMI supports (Meant for 4k Movies). Most games run at 30fps or 60 fps because the motion blurring in movies is ok but not in gaming.

This is why the xbox one can't possibly be the center of your AV setup. HDMI CEC has tons of differences depending on the mfg and while Sony can operate with all its products if you have a mixed system of stuff HDMI CEC and even just IR control is not so simple. Which is why I think the xbox one's TV centric features…

I would highly question the "working" gun part of a 3d printed plastic gun. (I would fear more for my own safety than the target if I had one. (When your bullet is stronger than the gun material itself you should be questioning the logic using it over say just a simple crude metal firing system) Other than for…

Could you actually reference a printer that cost 150 dollars in total to make because that sounds awfully optimistic unless your talking about a very very crude system running off a glue gun driven by hand with a bunch of rulers and a frame to serve as a guide.

They can't print the motors, electronics, metal hardware you need.

If only 3d printers could actually print things at 1 part per minute or something. (More like hours/days per successful part)

I think the main problem is they have no one responsible for looking after the system and seeing the economic/drop levels across the server. They probably just have totally automated checks which obviously failed. Not to mention the fact they didn't catch streamers, social distribution of the exploit until it became…

You would think though for a real money trading system they could selectively roll back bogus transactions like what happened in the bug. But it seems like they are manually going through logs and cleaning up each exploit account.

I'm not sure what the exact volume of the parts is but it is 3$ for setup for the full color, and if it was 100% of the 3d bounding box it would cost you 15 dollars in total. So factoring in some profit they are only really earning probably 10-20% margin which is pretty tiny for the volumes they are likely to get.

I doubt sending in targeted killer viruses into the brain is going to end well. (The misfiring neurons may not be different in any way just bad connections) The likely outcome would cause fatal/debilitating brain immune reactions for a viral vector that kills cells (This is the activator of the brain's own immune…

Brain pacemakers can do this without re-purposing existing cells. Normal neurons can't reset the brain during a grand mal seizure. They are more like brain defib than pacers though.

Technically a CRT has a much lower latency than an LCD or most other types of displays. Review sites often measure the difference between an old CRT and new displays to see how much processing delay exists. (In really bad cases it can be 100's of milliseconds which is ontop of any network, graphical lag)

Don't worry those constants and variables are certain to sort things out for you. Alternatively if you nose actually continues to bleed for a prolonged period of time you should seek medical attention.

People can have different opinions and Elizabeth was both annoying and a very poor AI controlled character even given the limited interaction she has with the game space. The snap teleporting got disconcerting as well. The dialogue was all in the trailers already for the most part so I guess that also ruined it in a…

She did the exact opposite for me (running into hostile turrets for "cover"). Executing non-scripted NPCs who are non-combatants has no reaction. She throws items in a very obviously timed pattern. The door locks where always the same and hilariously twice in the game the locks where place above a modelled door lock…

You nose is bleeding but only when the plot wants you to forget. (Serious plot contrivance) And the gate lock thing is absurd and just pads out that area needlessly.
