    Xbox Game Pass for PC is available today

    Upgraded a few minutes ago, for $1. Live and gamepass were set to expire 7/7/19 and 8/20/19. After upgrade it expires on 3/3/20. Not bad. Now thinking about selling xbone if things like rdr2 and a few more make it onto gamepass.

    Hardware USB hub power question...

    All pc usb hubs without their own power supply are 5V only(if it just has a usb plug that plugs into pc). If it has it's own power input/adapter, a barrel plug for example, it MAY? be 12V. Is there a label on the hub at all? if it has 2 usb plugs, one can be plugged into a cell phone charger...

    Hardware Minor Xbox One controller concerns

    Yep, that is normal. Just bought a replacement blue one a few days ago, and it creaks and pops like crazy. Pathetic really considering the price of these things, but what do we expect, everybody charges a massive premium for cheaper made crap. Unfortunately it will continue, but at least I don't...

    Alfonso Ribeiro is suing Epic Games for using his dance move in Fortnite

    But aside from the studio owning FP, what about the hired choreographer that probably taught him the move? And the Springsteen video? I could see it maybe having traction if Epic called it "The Carlton" but this... no, just no.

    Gaming WHAT IS PORT FORWARDING? UNBLOCK YOUR PORTS NOW

    This happened within the last few months. unfortunately their modems are outdated crap, and the ''supported" list is older, like 10y old stuff. Found out I can tell them to make it just a bridge, so I am gonna get a wired router for the basement, and use the nighthawk for wireless. Then I can...
