    Grim new analyses show US COVID death rates remain shamefully high

    So you hide you head in the sand from the poor decisions made by many of the governors in this pandemic. I agree that Trump's response has been horrible, but the governors are just as bad. When you ignore blatant facts it makes your comment laughable.

    Grim new analyses show US COVID death rates remain shamefully high

    Such a negative article. Not representative of good ARS articles. Beth needs a new job!

    US states stopped their pandemic social restrictions too soon

    They were wrong, but that does not take away from the fact that her restrictions were completely ridiculous!

    You should wait for a patch before buying EA’s Star Wars Squadrons on PC

    Rather pathetic that a major software maker can't come to close to what Star Wars Galaxies Jump to Lightspeed offered 16 years ago. Maybe hire a development team that actually gets it instead of a group that obviously does not.

    Apple backs down on taking 30% cut of paid online events on Facebook

    It is a simple solution for any App to avoid this fee, don't accept payment through the app, make them pay via the internet. Problem solved.

    US COVID-19 deaths just topped 200,000

    Numbers, numbers, meaningless numbers. When you start looking at that 200k figure you realize that a vast majority of these deaths being attributed to covid are questionable since most of these people had underlying conditions. Especially since the testing process is full of errors. So when...

    LGR’s Clint Basinger plumbs the depths of retro-computing—and his YouTube comments

    Not impressed with Cliff Basinger and his YouTube channel. His grasp of what it was like in the 80's or 90's is very limited.

    What’s in wildfire smoke, and how dangerous is it?

    You can lay the blame for all this smoke on the politicians in the western states. Letting the environmental lobby prevent controlled burns has led to an enormous amount of fuel for these fires. Kind of funny as this post will be downvoted, yet most of these posters are ones that decry lack of...

    Nvidia RTX 3080 review: 4K greatness at $699—and good news for cheaper GPUs

    A lot of people when they look at the prices for a 4k monitor with 144mhz+ refresh rate.

    Nvidia RTX 3080 review: 4K greatness at $699—and good news for cheaper GPUs

    Take it from someone who has heard one when playing Control, it is much noisier in my opinion than my friends 2080ti.

    Nvidia RTX 3080 review: 4K greatness at $699—and good news for cheaper GPUs

    Nice card and the 3070 will be also nice. Problem is, don't expect to see them much on the internet or in stores until next year unless you like Ebay and high prices. I have a friend who is a buyer for a major computer retailer and they are only getting a very limited supply of these GPUs at...

    Colin Kaepernick hits the field in Madden NFL 21 without actual NFL deal

    I find it funny that a washed-out QB can get so much support. He was horrible his last two years in the league. Then you add to that the controversy he would bring to any team and people still think some team should have signed him? If I had the worst team in the league I would not have...

    Tesla’s Model 3 beats competitors in 70mph range test

    The real trick is to do this at night in the winter when it is single digits out. Huge difference in mileage under those conditions. Throw in a snow storm and it further degrades the mileage.

    Team behind the Russian vaccine publishes some details of early trials

    So while we wait for complete studies how many will die? A lot of people who are high risk or have to interact with others daily really have no choice, take a chance on dying to the virus or get a vaccine. The sooner the better. I think Russia rushed this virus out, but the ones in the US are...

    Pre-election vaccination plans by CDC heighten fears of political meddling

    This article has some holes in it. I have a good friend at Ohio State who is involved in the clinical trials for plasma and it has been very successful so maybe the writer of the article should do some more research. As to the vaccine, most of you replying are not high risk. Those of us who...

    PlayStation 5’s preorder phase begins, based on fans’ “PlayStation activities”

    I am in the same situation as many of the other posters. I see no game that I want that needs a PS5 to play yet. I will continue to use my PS4 until then. Both Sony and Microsoft have failed to get the developers with the really good games to match their release date.

    Your iPhone copy of Fortnite is about to become worthless

    I asked my kids if any of their friends play fortnite on their iPhone and I got a strange look from them. They explained to me that no one plays Fortnite on a phone. I am sure some challenged people do try to do it, but they will need cokebottle glasses when they get old.

    Your iPhone copy of Fortnite is about to become worthless

    This dispute is not about the iphone, it is about the ipad. Trying to play fortnite on a phone is a ludicrous endeavor. Like most people have mentioned, the Switch is a much better mobile platform. I think Epic is in the wrong here, they were the ones who violated Apple's policies, not the...

    What the advent of 5G—mmWave and otherwise—will mean for online gaming

    As for gaming, I very much doubt I will use 5G anytime soon. When they start replacing cable with 5G, which is at least several years down the road I will revisit it. I have one of the new iPhones on order which has 5G, but I never game on my phone. The screen is just too small. My tablets...

    Intel promises high CPU and GPU performance in Tiger Lake laptop parts

    Great CPU, but still stuck with the weak Intel graphics GPU. I would still take a Ryzen 4000 CPU/GPU over the Intel one. An easy choice.
