Password Managers 2023

For a password manager, or really any product where security matters (like an operating system), it being open source is what enables people to review the code for bugs and security issues that can allow someone to exploit the code. In your case though, if the WAF (wife approval factor) is an...

Question Recommendations For Cat6 Cable?

So that his local network isn't limited by the same slow speeds as his ISP? If he wants to do local file transfers, host a local media server, play co-op games on a local server, etc.

Poll: Do you use optical drives in 2023?

I voted no, but I do have a ton of 4k Blu-RAY that I watch occasionally on a PS5. So I guess, kinda? I stream far more often though.

Discussion Steam Deck

I have a steamdeck and have been looking at getting a dock to play on the TV from the couch, which controller do you use and does it lose any functionality game-wise with losing access to the touchscreen?

Password Managers 2023

I'm a computer security researcher and I use 1password and my company uses BitWarden. I previously used PasswordSafe because it is open-source, peer-reviewed and doesn't itself involve any cloud storage, but the ease of use of services like 1password is worth the trade off in my opinion.

You wanna play an epic adventure on Arrakis? Wait a couple years.

I love the Dune series, first real PC game was Dune2 which essentially spawned the entire RTS genre and Westwood Studios. That said, I also don't expect this game to do well, although I'll probably still try it. If it was just multiplayer and focused more on resource / automation like Factorio...

Question Recommendations For Cat6 Cable?

If you are going to the trouble of putting it in the wall, always always plan ahead. Monoprice cables are very reliable and even the cat7 / cat8 are affordable. Even if you don't plan to upgrade your incoming bandwidth, why cripple your internal network speeds.

Discussion Lian Li O11D EVO XL Case

I don't know where they got the research, but Lian-Li seems to think there is a difference. As does Gamers Nexus.

Discussion Lian Li O11D EVO XL Case

Also, the heatpipe in many GPUs will not work if it is positioned incorrectly (ie with the IO at the top of the case vs at the bottom when upright), the upright GPU mount that Lian-Li offers supports an upright GPU configuration where the GPU can be positioned in either direction.

Question What happened to QD-OLED?

It was all the rage last year and the tech looks impressive. The QD-OLED Alienware AW3423DWF seems to be the best gaming monitor available, but I don't see it getting much love.

Question New gaming PC (box only), $2-2.5k, I am out of the loop, send help

I will always recommend splurging for a high quality case. A well designed case can last through several builds. GN did a great roundup of the best cases from last year, but TLDR; if all you care about is airflow the Fractal Torrent is probably the case for you. If you want a few more features...

Discussion Lian Li O11D EVO XL Case

Just thought I'd post an update I got directly from Lian-Li here: Also, this is the video from GN that goes into detail about the case. I have two new 7950x / 4090 builds waiting for this case, I considered the NV7... but it doesn't have the Dynamic capability and these PCs will be displayed...

Starfield - The successor to Freelancer?

Has Bethesda ever released a game in "good condition" :p:eek: I really, really want Starfield to be good but I'm guessing it'll be more of an Anthem than a No Mans Sky. At least Naughty Dog is also making a Sci-Fi game, maybe it can be a good replacement!
