  2. Some people like air raid sirens. There's someone out there for everything.

  3. Intel did invent the monolithic integrated circuit and the microprocessor so they do have a history of invention.

  4. Small minds live in small worlds.

  5. Was obsolete. No one wants 40 nm anything today.

  6. AMD abandons products regularly. It's what they do. I'm pretty sure their board is peopled with reincarnated indian treaty negotiators.

  7. It really stands for Masochists In Training

  8. I grew up in the New York metro area and there's a rich history of tweaking there.

  9. The tariffs are to address very real problems. Now if you've any viable solutions to any of that feel free to share them. Otherwise I'll thank you to pipe your ignorant ass down.

  10.  AmusiaPrussia  k you replied. I need to check user names better thanks.

  11. Is it really Intel's fault what drivers Windows has? Intel has their own OS, you know? Support is likely better there.

  12. What's the difference?

  13.  @curly_  prices are often fixed by what it is estimated a region can bear to spend. Companies are driven to maximize profits. Which means they will set prices both up and down depending on economic factors. In other words if they think they can squeeze and extra bit out of you they will. Or whatever they can get. There are other factors going on right now globally beyond US taxes. if I was them I'd be turning the screws on everyone right now too. You have to make hay while the sun is shining. Europe is largely locked down too. Means more people cooped up playing with computers. Supply and demand.

  14. They are using Boba Fett

  15. Probably. He's done everything else against the USA so it would be in character for him.

  16. There are definitely some tones that are more grating than others are. db alone does not tell the whole story or often even the most important aspect of the story. And yeah changing pitches is one of those annoying things to listen to. Steady drones are more easily ignored.

  17. What's better and worse in GUIs is subjective. I don't use any Desktop Environment myself. They're too involved. I just need a Window Manager that can put windows up on my desktop. The WM I use has not gotten any better in the past 15 years either. In fact it hasn't changed at all. I'm OK with that too.

  18. I'm going to be stretching my 4670 for more than a year. Temps are good. Core 0: +25.0°C

  19. Bill Gates wants to solve the problem at the root of it. He wants to eliminate people.

  20. Gigabyte is a Taiwan manufacturer. So the best on the planet. Certainly over mainland China crap.

  21. We'll see. Might be a big nothing burger too.

  22.  @aaronthomas6155  the only thing the DG2 has to beat is my 750ti. I don't give a flying F about the 40 series. Because I do not have one of those. I certainly do not expect Intel to take the lead coming right out of the gate either. But Intel could crush Nvidia and AMD on foundry capacity. Intel owns most of the foundries on the planet. They have 12 chip fabs. Intel is a chip manufacturing company first and foremost. It's what they do. Intel makes chips. They invented chips.

  23.  @aaronthomas6155  Robert Noyce the founder of Intel invented the monolithic integrated circuit.

  24.  @aaronthomas6155  Intel made the first microprocessor as well.

  25. That's rat urine.

  26. USB-C, formally known as USB Type-C, is a 24-pin USB connector system, which is distinguished by its two-fold rotationally-symmetrical connector.

  27. Yeah no. They test every chip they make. Every chip made is tested multiple times during production in fact. Why do all of the processes on a faulty part? That's why you never hear about someone getting a dead chip new. Not unless the idiot kills it themselves.

  28.  @bluephreakr  not Arch Gentoo! Heck Linux from scratch!

  29.  @bluephreakr  under the hood all Linux is too advanced for normies. Heck it's too advanced for me. I send core dumps to developers and let them sort it out.

  30.  @junko4166  I pass the buck. Recompiling with debugging symbols enabled is as dirty as I'm willing to get. I usually get fixes in about a day.

  31. You don't like DaVinci Resolve?

  32. Where'd you find a used i7-4790K for $100?

  33.  @davidgunther8428  I'll have to give that a look. On Aliexpress they're over $160 still. Which is too expensive for me. I'm just going to wait until they depreciate more I think. I figure in a couple years almost no one will want one then. I still will though. I want to max out the CPU in this PC.

  34. Next you have to get a PC built by the Verge to review.

  35. This long haired freak should see the data storage facility I worked on once. They had a battery room the size of a basketball court and that was just to tide them over until they could fire up their three generators that were each the size of a freight locomotive. They really were not playing games with power. On Google maps they call it a "law office". So they really don't want anyone knowing quite what they're really up to. Rumor was it backed up Wall St. financial data. So basically a lot of money. While we were working on the place it burned to the ground. They were just like well, build it again. They had serious cash.

  36.  @Igorsov  let me guess a young prick that's seen nothing believes nothing too?

  37. I have some parts in my old data sheet books that are not on the Internet. But my library is far from all encompassing.

  38. We show them what 1970s technology can do. Which is still better than anything they have today.

  39. There's this amazing invention called the wheel. You can get them on gadgets called hand trucks. You should look into it someday.

  40.  @PainterVierax  I should hope Linux runs rock solid on IBM hardware. IBM does own Red Hat Linux now. Red Hat is as official a Linux distribution as there is. So whoever owns Red Hat effectively owns Linux. Linus runs Fedora which is the test branch of Red Hat. I'm still miffed by Red Hat going subscription though. Some things are hard to get over.

  41.  @godfist314  online updating may seem common now but that's not how it always was. Red Hat invented the up2date online updater in version 7 circa 2001. Initially they gave it away for free to everyone that just wanted to use it too. And that's exactly what everyone did. I mean everyone ran Red Hat 7. They just about took over the distro market. It unified Linux. But when RH 7.3 came out they decided to make it need a subscription to use up2date. Faster than everyone came together we all left. Fragmentation has been a major problem with Linux. They solved it. Then they threw it away. At least they showed the world how to do online updating though. Today even Windows does it. Not very well, but it does it. Red Hat invented it. The Red Hat 7 era was a magical time to run Linux. It is something we'll likely never see again. RH screwed up big time! The damage they did to Linux by making that decision is incalculable. 20 years on we're still suffering for it. Linux remains a marginalized might as well not exist OS on the desktop. And yeah I'm still pissed.

  42.  @PainterVierax  WTF are you talking about? What does anything you wrote have to do with what I've written? Nothing. Absolutely nothing at all. Pot, kettle black! Attack of the mole people for sure.

  43.  @PainterVierax  I assumed it was a reply to a comment I made. My reply yours it still stands though.

  44. What train? You just give them user accounts and tell them to suck it.

  45. Being naked and generating less of a static charge does make sense. There's less material friction.

  46.  @SaturnusDK  Intel gives you the option of using Speed Step. Right now my CPU is running at like 1 GHz. Dealing with you dimwits is not a terribly taxing task. At that reduced load there is reduced power consumption as well. You're barely firing core 0 over here bright eyes. Core 0: +22.0°C

  47.  @Tallnerdyguy  all CPUs thermally throttle. The only question that remains is where. A 100W cooler will net you Intel's specified ratings. Beyond that you will need more cooling to have any chance. Surprise surprise.

  48. Only people living under rocks bought Bulldozer CPUs.

  49.  @stevesmith1383  "most people dont' calculate power consumption". They're dumb for not doing so too.

  50.  @stevesmith1383  what are you paying a kilowatt hour? What is cheap?
