RIP to this incredible pioneer of hard hitting underground electronica

Had a problem with my T300 rs not calibrating when first plugged into USB port so I decided to update the firmware from V24 to 28 but now when I plug the USB cable in the red light just flicker's then goes out and nothing.

Facebook. Sorry if that felt like being singled out -- because what ended up happening is thousands of Americans were singled out in targeted advertisement campaigns, in an information war campaign between the USA and Russia.Not looking to discuss the bigger existential crisis afoot, only...how do you feel about Oculus? Has your impression changed any?

Do I have to run Nvidia 3D vision wizard after every Graphics driver update? Currently I do a clean install of a new Graphics driver, but it's a pain having to run through the wizard for Nvidia 3D vision for my projector and monitor each time. If I just opt to update the graphics driver and keep the setting, will this then prevent me from having to run the Nvidia 3D vision wizard and set it things up again?..

An interesting article and step by the Federal Trade Commission in the US:Stickers on gadgets warning "warranty void if removed" are deceptive and likely to be illegal in the US, its consumer watchdog has said.The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) said it had written to six companies to warn them about using misleading language.Ordering customers to "use specified parts or service providers to keep their warranties intact" was also prohibited, it said.The companies have 30 days to respond to the FTC.The commission did not name the companies it had written to, but it said the list included video games companies, smartphone-makers and car manufacturers.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-43724348

Anybody been playing it - what are your thoughts? I don't want to really discuss the "political" aspects of this game because they are superficial at best and honestly not really worth discussing.I am about 8 hours in (I had all of yesterday off, woohoo!!!) - I am not going to put any spoilers in this thread. But hot damn - I haven't really enjoyed a Far Cry game since the first one - but FC5 is just brilliant. I have read the reviews - and yes there are problems with the gameplay in as far as there are lots of systems interacting with each other all the time. It is a game where you don't really have a moments rest - and the story / narrative isn't as deep as it possibly could be. It is closer to the farcical GTA series than it is to anything more serious - which is a bit of a shame because the setting is very well realized and interesting to explore, but it doesn't feel dangerous or creepy very often and I think that is a missed mark.However it is just extremely fun to play. Before it

Just lately I'm starting to see more Pc games getting priced at $59.99. I hope VR games don't start edging towards that price. I wouldn't mind but some of the game are absolute pants. I'm not talking about games like your GTA ...etc. Are they doing this so that when these games are on sale for say $39.99, then everyone will think it's a bargain? I've just been looking at the DCS modules aswell and see there's some jets going for $69.99 and above..

I have a Corsair Force LX 256GB SSD which I now use for OS, system apps and main games. It was the only drive in my computer up until 6 months ago and has had moderate use over the past 4 years. It has been formatted 4 times that I can remember. I have a few questions about it and a possible upgrade.What sort of lifespan can I expect from it? I understand that there is a limited number of writes that can be performed before it dies.I see articles about how much faster new SSDs are. Is this only for specific use case scenarios like massive files being transferred and say, content creation?How much has current gen SSD tech improvements improved gaming load times over my older drive? How much faster will a new Evo 960 be for gaming, if at all?My motherboard only supports PCIe M.2 cards so a more expensive NVME is necessary rather than a SATA M.2, would I be better off with a 2.5" Evo rather than a M.2? Are there any trade offs?As I understand it, not having an OS on drive will improve loa

Does anyone use Google drive or something similar? I'm just wonder if it's worth getting and if it stores your files safely? Are there any others that are better then Google drive or is it better just getting a large Hard Drive? I'm just thinking if the Hard Drive developed a fault and I would lose all my files.. 

Crypto mining profitability with graphics cards tripled over night due to Monero regaining ASIC resistance! Prepare for a massive GPU shortage again! Oh wait, that's only good news for miners, Nvidia and especially AMD. >:)

From the days of the dk2 am back :) just got a rift with touch. Hopefully to install tomorrow

I usually slam my mouse on the desk and punch my keyboard., At times I will also squeeze my controller hard with my hand and twist it.I have been known to throw my keyboard.Usually I swear loudly with the word, 'F**K'. 

Im a sucker for April fools jokes.If you come across anyone good, please do post them. Here is one:  https://www.razer.com/campaigns/project-venom-v2https://youtu.be/j8UJE7DoyJ8For years, we’ve been creating high-performance gaming devices with the best features. And now we’ve finally hit the next frontier of performance: YOU. I want some of those : :p  

Not that you'd want to of your own volition, but on occasion, you have little choice.I have an Acer Aspire with Win 7 Starter on it and I now need to put Win 10 on it, but even us disabled users can't officially get a free key now. However, it turns out that as long as you have a valid activation key for 7 or 8, you can use it for 10.I got this info from Forbes:https://www.forbes.com/sites/ianmorris/2018/01/26/how-to-get-windows-10-for-free-in-2018/#5ed1e1b65145and it seems to be still valid. I'm just downloading 10 now, to a USB stick - I'll confirm it works later today (or not - but I reckon it will).

I tried watching a streaming movie - the new maze runner.I watched 'blade of the immortal' - very good movie.Was thinking about playing VR but getting frustrated with RoborecallI have Dead Cells, but killed it.. Anyone got some thoughts for my existence? My wife is out as well.. so cant even talk to her..

Oh boy ...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffNlrGRrY9Yhttp://puccho.jp/a-n/

every time I play the game, I have to star from beginig

So I have recently noticed a drop in performance of some of my applications on windows that used Hardware Acceleration, I thought maybe a dodgy Nvidia driver.Get this, turns out, that by some strange glitch in the matrix, the applications were trying to use the Graphics Chip on the Intel CPU !!!! totally messing up Hardware Acceleration. Seems some people on the Nvidia forums had a similar issue with their Mining software suddenly trying to access Integrated graphics.NOTE: This only applies to PC's and motherboards that have some sort of DIsplay port like HDMI/Dvi on them and NOT Laptops, To solve this I used DDU and removed the Intel drivers, while disabling the automatic update.

I am curious to know if it is only me that really gets bored around the 10 - 20 hour mark.

on the nvidia store. i dont think theyve gone up yet

Does Nvidia 3D Vision work with Windows 10 Fall Creators? I have set everything up on my monitor and ticked 3d Vision in Nvidia Control Panel, but no game is recognised and they all start in 2D? Monitor is set to 120hz, so I'm now left wondering if it's the Windows 10 Fall Creators, because it's a while since I used Nvidia 3D Vision. I ran the 3D setup Wizard alright, so no problems there. Anyone have a clue why my games are not getting picked up by Nvidia 3D vision? Thank you!@cybereality - Do you know anything about this or anyone else?

Hola colegas, no les parece una buena idea que la casa de oculus este en un barrio como en el juego The Sims? que cada uno haga su casa pero que pueda salir y caminar por un barrio donde estan las casas de tus amigos. Si tus amigos estan en linea pueden abrir sus puertas y dejarte entrar. Si agregas a alguien como amigo, su casa aparece en tu barrio en un "slot" disponible. No es una mala idea, seria muy divertido y pasaria mucho tiempo interactuando, como una red social en vr en el lobby de nuestras casas.Comenten!Hello colleagues, do not you think it's a good idea that the oculus house is in a neighborhood like in the game The Sims? that each one makes his house but that he can go out and walk through a neighborhood where the houses of your friends are. If your friends are online they can open their doors and let you in. If you add someone as a friend, your house appears in your neighborhood in an available slot. It is not a bad idea, it would be very fun and I would spend a lot

I was just talking with one of my friends the other day about game remakes - what with the System Shock remake apparently being in jeopardy.I think that so long as the original is preserved and playable that remakes are a good thing - especially for gaming as some of my favourite games from the 90s/early millennium just do not translate that well anymore due to limitations of the graphics engine or even basic things like control mapping.Some of the games I'd like to see remade are:Cybermage: Darklight Awakening - a lost and forgotten Cyberpunk shooter, not quite an immersive sim - but did a lot of what Half Life did before Half Life. Something that I think could be remade in the Build Engine to great effect.No One Lives Forever - probably not the most cost effective game to remake, so many levels in different locations with tons of assets created for each location. I think this game would benefit from some cutting down of certain elements (cutscenes, etc.) but the objective based steal

Hey everyone!I wanted to share a quick video I put together of this really good standing desk I bought. I use it for both dev work and playing. So far no major issues at all, I highly recommend it.Check it out! Ignore the purple walls, painting is happening as soon as the weather breaks haha :)
