The Hondas have blade brake control (take your hand off the safety bar and the blade stops) while the engine keeps running.

My latest set of gloves are the Gyde by Gerbing Vanguard 12v heated gloves, they are conductive on the index finger. Good to about 40F on the bike at 65MPH without plugging in. 150 grams of Primaloft. Also have the Hestra 3 finger Army gloves, with their warmest Primaloft Extreme liners - would...

I was researching peltiers many moons ago, things to watch out for: A) Having a sufficient DC power supply-usually external (they can get thirsty). B) Figure out what to do when the cold side drops below the dewpoint and condensation starts to form....IIRC there was a device available that...

Watch out for those U (ULV) cpus, they are pretty gutless (tho good for battery life).

Personally I would go with the Note 4 to have the microSD and removable battery.

About 4k when you include the price of the bonus 49" LCD 4k screen with this deal: http://slickdeals.net/f/8116598-55-lg-ef9500-4k-oled-3d-hdtv-lg-musicflow-p7-bluetooth-speaker-pre-order-3000-more-free-s-h

The best TV ever reviewed by Displaymate (LG 4k OLED). http://www.displaymate.com/TV_OLED_LCD_ShootOut_1.htm If they could just make a projector with that quality...

Will need to clear a 100 ft downhill gravel driveway with a 20 ft turnaround this winter. I'm thinking of one of the Honda 2 stage snowblowers with tracked drive. For the vehicles, Blizzak snow tires (switched to Nokians for several years but they seem to do better for high speed cruising than...

Samsung does support Quick Charge 2.0 on it's newer phones, like the Note 4, Note 5, Galaxy S6 etc. http://www.phonearena.com/news/Smartphones-with-quick-charge-fastest-to-recharge-from-0-to-100-2015-edition_id69328

Unofficially you may be ok with a high quality DVI to HDMI cable and defining a custom resolution in the drivers (though only at 30Hz). https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/804836/4k-over-dvi-partially-works-with-gtx-460/

This. You want to use a 28/24 AWG cable. A charge only cable with the data pins shorted can also help to get the max charging rate. http://m.thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-micro-usb-cable/

Apparently this will be out in October... http://m.windowscentral.com/new-version-dell-xps-12-windows-10-will-be-surface-2-1

The habitable room in a Crown Vic is used for a) the front seat passengers and b) the boot.

2 year old is prob too much maintenance for a "free" day care configuration.

Have you considered something in the MicroATX form factor with say a Fury Nano? Unless you chose the K series quadro for the certified drivers?

Chewy, if you are looking for a 34" 21:9 panel might want to wait for this, 100Hz support and G-sync: http://techreport.com/news/28972/asus-previews-rog-swift-pg348q-and-pg279q-g-sync-monitors

Yes, 4k blu-ray will require new players (disks can hold up to 100GB via three layers at 33GB per layer, and video is compressed using H.265 for additional efficiency). The PS4 may end up supporting it via firmware upgrade but nothing concrete yet. Sat companies would need to provide H.265...

So had the Philips 40" for a while now, and it's being picked up tomorrow to go back to Amazon for a refund. Serious shadowing on the left and top side of screen which is very apparent when a white web page is over it, and the top bezel seems to bow upwards towards the center when compared to...

Well my philospohy is if 30 days of heavy cpu/gpu use doesn't kill it it should be good for a couple years. You really have to see the rog g751 in person, its got a massive ventilation system. I would agree for a normal sized (thin) laptop it would be a death sentence.

Sprint network is shit unless you are in a major metropolitan area or near a major highway/interstate. If that doesnt matter you should be ok. Which carrier does Ting buy service from? For the kids I've had good luck with StraightTalk from Walmart (uses Verizon network), $45 per month for 5GB...

Sorry I made a typo it's a 980M. SLI was just way too expensive a jump from single gpu, plus the MSI GT80 reportedly makes quite a racket when cranking.

Sent you a private message Lunar.

Yeah I discovered the fah viewer app, looks like 7 Haswell cores at approx 3.2 GHz is good for about 17,000 PPD, and the 980GTX is good for about 180,000 per day. Had to move the slider all the way to the right to get the gpu working hard. Can barely hear the fans with everything cranked which I...

With the 1Ds mk2 we generally got shutter failures at cycles ranging from 300,000 to 500,000. Canon ended up agreeing to replace the first shutter failure under warranty, and then we paid 2-300 for subsequent replacements. Apart from the shutter itself failing we also saw issues with the mirror...

Ok I'm back into production with sons laptop, looks like I should get about 6k per day from the CPU and 4k per day from the GPU. They've certainly made it easier to configure than back in the day. Edit: I entered my passkey but looks like I will need to submit 10 WUs before the bonus kicks in.

Ended up ordering an Asus ROG G751 with GTX980M for my youngest, he still has 4 years before college so weight won't be a problem. Eldest has one year to go and has requested something more portable in the 13" range. Asus did announce the successor to the 751 with Skylake at IFA but couldn't...

Nice bike Chewy! I take it you prefer the forward controls of the cruiser style over the more upright feet closer to bum angles of the Z300? IIRC you bought the Rebel used? How many miles were on her? I've recently gone past 60,000 miles on the 95 VFR, apparently the engines are generally...

Titan X has DP 1.2 ports, the key would be if your 4k displays have them. You may have to go into the monitor settings and switch from the default of DP 1.1 over to DP 1.2 to get the 60Hz support.

My ideal laptop is the forthcoming Lenovo P50 or P70 workstation class units (P70 downside being a not easily swappable battery).

It seems that going to a significantly thinner form factor causes significant performance degradation compared to the previous Surface 2 Pro: http://www.anandtech.com/show/8077/microsoft-surface-pro-3-review/3 Given this is billed as a full "Windows PC" as opposed to a limited function tablet...

Will be able to give initial impressions on Wed. Purchased this purely for desktop work (prob four 1080p sized browser windows). For something that was to be used for 4k blu-ray playback I would be waiting for something with HDMI 2.0, HDCP 2.2, and HDR support. Also considered the Dell 5k but my...

Almost certainly, very unlikely they will support Win 7 on the Surface 4.

Its available from Amazon in the US now for $800, ordered one for work to replace two 22" 1080p panels.

I would wait to see if the Surface 4 suffers thermal throttling like the Pro 3 first: https://m.reddit.com/r/Surface/comments/28v4dz/the_surface_pro_3_thermal_throttling_thread/

Tea, Storagereview did a bit of analysis on one of the shingled drives: Summary was it can be used for backup but seems like you need to do a fair bit of workarounds to avoid their issue where extended sustained writes cause performance to go to complete shit...

Apparently the UltraHD Blu-ray spec has been finalized, question is if they will work on anything apart from the few HDTVs that support HDMI 2.0 along with HDCP 2.2. The new spec does support some kind of HDR which the 2015 model year Samsung 4k tvs support.

Apparently the Playstation Vue service is going to allow single channel a la carte selections in July (though it is only available in a few cities): http://variety.com/2015/biz/news/playstation-vue-sonys-andrew-house-on-the-road-ahead-1201522102/

Probably a little late to the thread but Amazon have the Sony 128GB UHS-I U3 microSD card for $71:http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00MCJPSUO/ This is their 94MB read/60MB write speed card, I'm using it in their 4k action cam but should work fine in a D-SLR with the provided SD card adaptor.

So after riding this for a while I can provide a review. It has a Two Brothers carbon fiber exhaust which sounds incredible. Starts ok at 35 degrees in the morning with plenty of choke, once warmed up the idle has this wandering nature which is fascinating. With the V4 it can be ridden gently...

Late reply to this but here goes: There's no better motorcycle to travel a significant distance in total comfort, especially if you have a passenger. The engine is mounted low so it isn't top heavy at all. What I didn't like was the detachment from the riding experience, given my first bike was...

Picking up a mid 90s Honda VFR750F tomorrow. The Goldwing is an incredible highway tourer which can easily carry a slab or two of beer in its luggage, but I miss the feel of the wind and looking forward to the feel and sound of the V-4 engine. Trimming 200-300 pounds of weight will also help...

You should try/rent The Last of Us. Magnificent.

Congrats dd and wife! Chewy - Sounds like you were very lucky to limp away without being disemboweled by the guard rail. Front tire blowout is my worst fear, sits right alongside deer strike from the side. Here's to all the gear, all the time. Today was the first day I rode my new steed into...

Sure, but the timing belt is either working, or failed (catastrophic loss). So now that the belt is replaced, my warranty coverage is still good until I hit 100,000 miles (oil changes have been done at the specified 5,000 mile intervals).

I didn't have the $385 at hand when 60,000 ticked over. I relied on Hyundai's safety margin (if they rate it for 60,000 miles, the average failure point must be significantly higher). And yes, I knew the engine would be toast if it had failed. Coug: Yes, the Elantra. They found some of the...

Driving along on the way to work, 65MPH, divided highway, two lanes in each direction, engine cuts out, check engine light comes on. Tried downshifting and engaging the clutch to start it back up, whilst underway, no luck. Luckily I was just before an offramp, so could pull over into the...

I was thinking of buying the Fenix PD32 "Ultimate Edition" which can deliver over 700 lumens in short bursts. But of course as soon as I order it they will release the PD33 with a better LED in it.....

The latest PS3 firmware update removes the F@H application so my production is crippled. :(

Yup, just watch out for this sign:
