This is a solid point - any first (or even second or third) time buyer of a gaming rig that is currently using a GTX 1070-class video card and playing on a 1080p monitor (which describes about 95% of the folks out there still) really has no reason outside of ray tracing to upgrade at his point. All the scavaging for…

Thank goodness for that.. and I mean that sincerely.

That’s a fair point to make. Doing something kinda dumb the first time and then admitting it was dumb and not wanting to repeat it seems to be a trait in short supply anymore.

Yup!

Stand the box on it’s end. You don’t seem to move very many things around for someone with a lot of opinions on moving things around. 

You don’t live outside of a large metro with strong public transport I take it. Many Americans do. In my state (Indiana, ya, I know) not having an actual automated vehicle that functions in 4 seasons and can keep me from freezing or being soaked in two of them is simply not an option. It just isn’t. Car pooling also…

Very few people are “fine” paying $1,000 for entry level laptops. They didn’t say “laptops”, they said “entry level laptops”. The poster’s point remains salient: you seem to be getting a little carried away about $350 for a smartwatch. I’ve been shopping them recently, and that’s basically in the lower 50th percentile.

Hopefully not while you’re at speed on a highway, right? Because that would be a bit of a distraction. You wouldn’t do anything unsafe, now, would you?

Truth. There’s a whole lot of laziness that goes into these things nowadays. There’s almost a complete lack of editorial pride in some of these, or at least guidance. It’s not just Gizmodo though, it’s getting pretty prevalent on a lot of tech spots and seeping into more mainstream sites as well.

You’re also an idiot. So many idiots.

You’re an idiot. That is all.

I 100% agree with you on this point. I make it every chance I get; we simply didn’t end that war correctly or bring those people to proper justice or punish the other side and establish American preeminence over them. We should have stomped them into the dirt, imprisoned or executed their leadership, and outlawed…

Same. I think I still only come back to these Gawker sites out of habit, but there is little to no effort in editing, and the youth and inexperience of the “writers” is really grinding on me as well.

They understood the level of amateurism and lack of awareness, dumbass. Kinda not the same thing. 

It’s a South Park reference, not an aviation reference, although yes they were a real airline.

You’re an idiot. And probably/likely a child.

Trust me, I’ve been yelling at this guy for a while now. I’m not even sure how/why he has this job. I’ve yet to see an article he does that wasn’t just infuriating from a tech perspective (and editing).

It’s because OP is an idiot. Simply moving over to a different kind of storage medium isn’t going to solve any of his problems, which seem to stem from a fundamental lack of understanding of data redundancy. All of his articles are like this. Also, one doesn’t “download” movies from a school network, but that’s a…

Untrue. While yes it’s possible, that statement is unsupportable and not factual. I’ve read lots of other people repeating that scenario but mysteriously it’s always “I heard of” as opposed to “here’s the proof”.
Also, what’s this dumb fascination with trying to maintain privacy on Facebook? Who gives a shit? Create…

I suspect there are many, many things that are beyond you. “Bicycles are just the worst! They’re awful! I’ve never ridden one and never will!” - Trusted Bicycle Reviewer.
Social media is just like any other media. Do with it what you will. I use FB to keep up with friends and family, some of whom I hadn’t had contact…
