These Awesome If Impractical Keycaps Are Perfect For Dinosaur Fans

The Memeda Dinosaur Ages keycaps highlighted by PC Gamer are available to pre-order from Drop. You can purchase two different species of hand-painted dino—a Tyrannosaurus or Triceratops (coming soon)—and each one comes in four different colors: green, yellow-brown, light blue, and maroon. Given their sheer size and the amount of detail in each keycap, they’re not cheap: $39 for a single one. But then it’s not like you’re going to replace the majority of keys with these oversized novelties—that would definitely impact your words-per-minute speed....

Tool Claims To Sniff Out Cheaters Abusing Chatgpt Ai For Plagiarism

ChatGPT can write code or school essays and any sort of content in response to a human (textual) prompt. OpenAI’s chatbot is also easy to abuse, creating new content to cheat during exams or filling entire websites with worthless – yet superficially convincing – textual garbage. As a response to this, 22-year-old computer science senior at Princeton University, Edward Tian has created a tool named GPTZero. Tian spent his winter break developing a platform that could detect whether a human or the ChatGPT algorithm created a given essay....

Toshiba Encore Windows 8 Tablet Review Battery Life Wrap Up

That said, the Encore’s battery life doesn’t seem to hold as long as some of the other tablets I’ve tested recently, despite featuring similar internals. This could be due to the HFFS panel, which is a type of display seldom used on tablets, but other software and hardware choices may also be contributing factors. Our video playback battery benchmark backs this up. The Lenovo Miix 2 8, which is very similar to the Encore spec-wise manages to last nearly two hours longer....

Toyota S First Modern Ev Arrives This Spring Starting At 42 000

Customers will also have the option to purchase a ChargePoint home charging system and roll the cost into the vehicle purchase or lease. Kits come with a 23-foot charging cable to support different parking configurations, and Toyota says you can expect to get about 25 miles of range per hour charged. Ideally, you’ll just want to leave it plugged in overnight to top it off daily. With horsepower ratings of just 201 for the FWD variant and 214 for the AWD model, don’t expect the bZ4X to be a street legal rocketship like some other EVs....

Triple Monitor Gaming Geforce Gtx 590 Vs Radeon Hd 6990 Test Setup And System Specs

The Radeon HD 6990 was a little trickier as it only provides a single DVI port along with four mini-DisplayPort connectors. The Dell 3008WFP’s offer DisplayPort support though a mini-DisplayPort to DisplayPort adapter is required. We used two of these adapters to use Eyefinity mode. Once the monitors were connected to the graphics cards creating a group configuration was easy. Both sets of graphics drivers automatically added extra resolutions such as 7680x1600, 5760x1200 and 5040x1050....

Twitter Adds More Users But Makes Less Money Blames Elon Musk

Twitter’s Q2 2022 results show its second-quarter revenue was $1.18 billion, representing both a quarterly and yearly decline, albeit only slightly. However, its average monetizable daily active users (mDAUs) was up 16.6% compared to Q2 2021, reaching 237.8 million globally. $1.18 billion is no small sum, but Twitter’s costs and expenses for the quarter totaled $1.52 billion, an increase of 31% year-over-year. It reported net losses of $270 million, $33 million of which was related to the “pending acquisition” of the company....

Unreal Tournament S Facing Worlds Is Still The Best Multiplayer Map

For the uninitiated, here’s a little bit of context: Unreal Tournament drew first blood on the PC in 1999, with a fanciful, science fiction tone and particularly gory splatters. The game focused its efforts on online multiplayer—there was a single player campaign, but beyond using it to learn the controls, few players paid attention to it. As for myself, I was too busy teaming up with my college roommates, squaring off against other dorms on our school’s LAN....

Upcoming Google Chrome Feature Will Help Conserve Battery Life With Many Open Tabs

Google Chrome is by far the most popular web browser around, although it has also developed a reputation for eating up system resources. That might change to an extent soon, as the company is testing a new feature that will improve battery life for Chrome users on all platforms who like to keep many tabs open. Currently, Chrome only allows webpages to run JavaScript code once a minute after you haven’t interacted with them for over five minutes, essentially putting inactive tabs to sleep....

What Ever Happened To Msn Messenger

For that, you needed an instant messaging program, and when the mainstream Internet movement really started to take root, there were four major competitors jockeying for position: AOL Instant Messenger, ICQ, Yahoo! Messenger and Microsoft’s MSN Messenger. Microsoft’s entry launched on July 22, 1999, which was already late considering ICQ had been around for nearly three years and AOL had followed with AIM in the spring of 1997. Even Yahoo’s messaging client beat Microsoft’s to market by over a year, but as Microsoft proved, you don’t have to be first to reach the top....

A Brief History Of In Game Advertising

This isn’t a mobile or even a free-to-play phenomenon. EA caught flak last year for displaying the equivalent of pre-roll ads in UFC 4, a full-priced console game. But when did this all start? When did game developers realize that their medium offered opportunities to monetize through ads? What did the first in-game advertisements look like? In this piece, we’ll take a step back and briefly explore the history of in-game advertisements....
