The new ‘Twilight Zone’ is available to stream in black and white
[ad_1] CBS All Access just gave nostalgia-seekers something to watch this weekend. As promised, the streaming service has released a version of Jordan Peele’s The Twilight Zone series in black and white.

Pushing a 28-core CPU to its limits: 6GHz and beyond
[ad_1] The usual precautions apply. The motherboard has to be insulated with dielectric grease to fend off any accidental drops of water. Likewise, paper towel lines the gap between each memory slot, and then yet more paper towel wraps around the pot and memory sticks, to soak up condensation. A small fan helps blow the […]

More ‘Death Stranding’ details are coming on May 29th
[ad_1] Hideo Kojima’s Death Stranding has so far existed as little more than a collection of strange cutscenes and brief gameplay snippets, but it’s about to make considerably more sense… hopefully. Kojima Productions has teased a countdown to a news announcement on May 29th (May 30th in Japan). Just what you’ll see is in the […]
