  1. Re:are they really 4k, or are they... on Flood of 4K James Bond Leaks Further Point To iTunes Breach (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    You are probably thinking yify, and movies released in weird resolutions like 1920x700, this was due to cinema aspect ratio and not trying to scam you.

  2. Re:I am sorry for your pain using Google. on How Badly is Google Books Search Broken, and Why? (blogspot.com) · · Score: 1

    Google is a good search tool

    is it? Just yesterday I was looking for "PC Mag 1997 january Pentium MMX" and Google refused to return PC Mag 7 Jan 1997 issue results, whats even more weird clicking Google Books "browse all issues" returns

            The requested URL /books/serial/ISSN:08888507?rview=1 was not found on this server

    but "About this magazine" will happily give you a list of all scanned issues :o and opening january one will let you search it and will return positive results.

    I am in awe of how successful Google shills were in pushing this "google backtracks" message by citing article clearly stating V3 proposal is full steam ahead and NOTHING is being changed apart from maybe considering bigger static list ...

  7. You might be used to console gaming (usually >150ms input lag).

  8. https://www.esportsearnings.co...

    Im ~40 and currently top 99.9% in WoT (tank fps), there is a lot more to FPS than just fast reaction times. Super smash terrifies me tho :), so does tetris and fighting games.

  9. 80ms gaming machine? were they using office grade 10 year old LCD monitors and gameport joysticks? Normal PC:

    re Shadow Play - streaming to another pc in the house? 5ms difference is impossible, unless again someone was using TV as his main monitor. NVFBC adds 16-25ms delay alone, locally, then you need to factor network and used monitor.

  10. Playing competitive FPS game is not the same as playing on a competitive level. You are saying same things console players have been saying for almost 20 years, and you probably know how confrontation between console player and mouse/kb combo looks like. Next thing you will claim there is no difference between "cinematic" 30Hz vs 144Hz :).

    You might be playing fortnite against teenagers using gamepad (handicapped input device) and big screen TV (up to 150ms input lag without switching to game mode https://www.rtings.com/tv/test... ), colloquially called "shitters".

    Yes, GeForce now might be good enough for people who find current consoles with dips below 24fps perfectly acceptable.

  11. I wasnt aware of any html tags build using newline (\r\n) character sequence.

  12. Ok, this is hilarious, /. is eating everything between less/greater than signs.

    "That means you never properly played PC games at "over" 60fps with "less than" 20ms total input lag.
    GeForce NOW "over" 80ms between pressing a button and reaction on the screen."

  13. Wtf /. code at half of my reply :o, probably got confused by greater-than/less signs. Again:

    That means you never properly played PC games at > = 60fps with 80ms between pressing a button and reaction on the screen."

  14. > They play great, and don't feel any different than playing them on my own system.

    That means you never properly played PC games at >=60fps with 80ms between pressing a button and reaction on the screen.

On a pod of endangered dolphins, no less, quite possibly the last of their kind.

    Wishful thinking. Historically, Microsoft never avoided paying its fines on either side of the Atlantic, just to name one.

    Intel still hasnt paid $1B fine for bribing retailers to not stock AMD parts.
