  1.  @LowTechPC  the less they know the more it will appear to be working. It is only when you scratch the surface that you might discover some anomalies. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

  2. Probably not considering how much power these cards use. Some of these cards require two eight pin power connectors and consume 250 Watts. My whole PC doesn't use 250 Watts.

  3.  @LukeHimself  the great outdoors is a pretty big place. You should not generalize experiences. I know where I live can be extremely quiet. I've even been in Manhattan when it was quiet. Was right after a blizzard and the whole City was completely paralyzed. It was surreal. Today I know what it sounds like when a tree falls in the woods too. They do make a sound. I've heard corn grow too.

  4.  @LukeHimself  it is quiet enough here for me to hear my blood in my yard. Which is the gold standard of it's quiet. I like to call it mighty peaceful. You get a good night's sleep here. Or a nap if you'd like to take one of those. I think I could go for a nap myself now.

  6. Your problems are all software related. Run an OS that can multitask. This is blazing fast https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summit_(supercomputer) and it doesn't do Windows.

  7. Having worked in the business of commercial renovation they could use some help. The whole job should not have taken more than a few weeks to complete. The demo phase should have been done in two days. I'm not seeing more work than that. WTF is that track still doing attached to the deck? Strip it out!

  10.  @dosgos  headphones can be real good but I have sensitive ears. I don't like stuff on them. I do appreciate an actual sound system too. Just the spacious sound actual satellite speaker cabinets deliver. I'm pretty proud of the sound system I have on my PC. It ain't much but I think it has a nice sound. Certainly does it for me. I use a Blu-ray player as an amplifier and the only annoying thing is it turns itself off after a period of inactivity. So I just run a player on shuffle playing my whole MP3 collection all the time. If I want other sound I pause it. Otherwise my PC is always rocking tunes. Turns out constant tunes is nice. All stuff I like and it's commercial free.

  11.  @dosgos  I made my center channel speaker out of two 2.5" Altec Lancing drivers I pulled out of some PC speakers. They have a nice sound to them. Audiophile would be lost on me. But if I wasn't happy with what I have I'd be getting something else. For what it is I'm good though.

  12. Damn you're a dip shit. This is a prototype not a retail product.

  13.  @Aelfraed26  or people that just don't want to draw many Watts.

  14. Tweaker has meant the same thing for quite some time. That's what we called anyone too wound up on stimulants even back in the early 80s. Then you're tweaking.

  15.  AmusiaPrussia  you said, "Steel made with no impurities does not need to be folded." But that is not why they fold steel. They actually fold steel to add materials to the steel. Kind of like mixing it. So one piece of steel can exhibit different properties. Namely toughness along with hardness. You cannot get those two attributes together with "pure" steel. You get either one or the other. You can have either a soft steel that resists breaking or a hard steel that is brittle. But if you fold a soft and a hard steel together then you can have both. Kind of. Steel is disrupted to drive impurities out of it. Classically with a hammer on an anvil. In more modern times it is done with rollers.

  16. Compared to their mismanagement too from what I've heard.

  17. Actual performance has been driven by Moore's Law. But we're at a point where it is not as easy to keep going anymore. Look at the advance of the industry like folding a piece of paper over and over. Initially it isn't so hard but after a number of folds it just gets tougher and tougher to make the bend. At it's core Moore's Law was all about shrinking the pitch of parts on a die. That's it. That is where virtually all performance gains have come from. Halve the pitch and double your performance. Now they can't even reduce the pitch by 50%. Up to about 10 years ago they halved the pitch like clockwork. Then it got hard to keep doing that. Since about 22-24nm it has gotten really hard to reduce the pitch of parts. Which is why the industry is stagnating. Their path to increased performance is blocked for them going forward. They just can't make that hard fold anymore. They've actually resorted to what amounts to lying about pitch lately. In order to keep the fantasy of the good times going.

  20.  @TheRedneckPreppy  It was a while ago I installed it but I think it did come in a binary. I only installed it because someone on IRC said they couldn't get it to run. The easiest way for me to figure out what's going on is to just try to get it to run myself. Then once I did I never uninstalled it. They were missing some so files. I ran strace on the installer and figured out what they were. Once I got it running that's the last I saw of it. Looked pretty involved to me though. The binary is linked to 133 shared objects. $ ldd /opt/resolve/bin/resolve | wc -l 133

  21.  @Tallnerdyguy  Any cooler will be adequate for the performance you receive. But if you want more then get more. Thermal throttling has been a thing like forever.

  24. CampyCamper  silver tarnishes a lot. Perhaps reactive means something different though?

  26. I'm hoping in 10 years the price will come down to something I find reasonable.

  27. No I mean there is nothing under the copper ring around the hole plus some space beyond that.

  28.  @SaturnusDK  AMD has no process. AMD has not made anything in over 10 years. They bowed out at 45 nanometers. All AMD does is design work today. They have other fabs make their chips for them. TSMC makes all of their 7nm chips.

  29.  @pino_de_vogel  let's be frank, 5 GHz is pretty good.

  30. @blitzwing1 Intel got on top because they built the mountain they're on top of. Robert Noyce invented the integrated circuit. He was also a founder of Intel. Then Intel went on to produce the first microprocessor. So when you're first you are also on top of a heap of one.

  31. I bet you'll probably never buy a multi-million dollar super sports car either. That doesn't mean they should not be made or no one will though.

  32. My point has nothing to do with math. It has to do with the production and availability of premium products. The better something is the more it tends to cost.

  33. The consumer PC market is finished now. It has been that way for years. Average people do not have PCs anymore. They have smartphones or tablets. Companies catering to a market that no longer exists will put their own existence in jeopardy.

  34. That chair and table set does make a powerful statement.

  39.  @GamersNexus  I'm looking forward to the data you can collect to back up your hypothesis. Color me somewhat skeptical when it comes to your noise building theory. There may actually be something else going on when fans are running next to each other that amplifies the sound than just the noise they each individually make adding up. You should setup an experiment where you can speed control all three fans and tune them. It could be ground breaking research.

  40. If you think this is bad just wait until there's no food.

  41. And you're still going off BS numbers. Unless you have Steve come to your house and measure the temperature you're getting. Because in the end that's all that really matters.

  42. As far as any company is concerned the best possible price is as much as they can get.

  43. Intel makes more money than the rest of the chip manufacturers on the planet combined. You think they're scared they'll run out of room to keep all of their money?

  44.  @lt4324  I'd like to have a 4790K but they cost too much. Lately the price on them has actually increased 31%. So not headed in a direction beneficial to me. I actually want a newer system with nvme and USB 3.1 DDR4 etc.

  45. Transient free line current is always better. Though how far a UPS goes towards cleaning up line current is another question.

  46. None of this means beans. The only thing that matters is the temperature you can manage to achieve.

  47. You can get a mirror finish. What is hard is keeping the surface planar flat though. Two warped mirrors are not going to make very good contact.

  48. All Intel cares about is that their chips don't burst into flames. They have thermal sensors in there that make sure it doesn't happen too. Past that they're going to guarantee certain minimum specs. What anyone can do beyond that is entirely up to and on them.

  49. Perhaps the concept of diminishing returns eludes you? The further up you go the harder it gets to go any further up. Costs escalate exponentially with difficulty. To go 10% faster it costs 100% more. No surprises there.

  50.  @formbi  Intel is a hardware company. They just distribute software to sell more hardware. If they can get the DG2 right I'm buying one.
