Hey! They go back to the operating budget at Gawker. They don’t go directly to the writers or anything like that. Read more

Being free to do something and that something being a dick move are not mutually exclusive. Read more

Mostly that NVIDIA’s was way, way worse on AMD card’s than AMD’s was on NVIDIA’s cards. it was a huge performance hit instead of a more mild one. Read more

Well, for what it’s worth, AMD has a program very similar to GeForce Experience that can automatically set graphics settings. GeForce Experience does a better job, though. Read more

Yeah, I tried to mention this in the post, but your explanation is a bit more detailed. Thanks for expanding on that. Read more

Yup, this was my experience as well back in my Linux days. Read more

Honestly, I’ve always had more frustration with AMD drivers than I ever had with NVIDIA drivers. NVIDIA drivers have been pretty painless, while AMD drivers have caused nothing but problems (and their Catalyst software is pretty awful). BUT that’s just one man’s experience. Read more

I prefer Windows to OS X a lot. I can still text from my computer because I have an Android phone and use MightyText. But I’ve never been a fan of the Surface. I have a Dell XPS 13 laptop though and love it. Read more

This is the best correction comment I’ve ever gotten. Read more

I honestly waffle back and forth. Windows 10 has some nice improvements, and I think it’s worth it. But it also has some weird little bugs here and there. None are really deal killers, just kind of silly and make the whole thing feel less polished, and it drives some people a little crazy. I don’t know how many were Read more

Nah Apple’s always really late with Boot Camp drivers. Probably just laziness/low priority for them. Read more

It’s not that weird if you think about it—the reason you can’t use Boot Camp is because Apple hasn’t released drivers for their hardware on Windows 10. I imagine Parallels doesn’t need drivers for basic stuff like the trackpad, though—maybe that’s all handled through the host OS (though for advanced features like Read more
