    Stuff_ got a reaction from da na in Experiences with non-techies   
    Basically dealing with my mom, dad, brothers and girlfriend all cause me stress. I can keep my head for a little while, but eventually I get frustrated.
     
    Example: I just bought/installed a h80i and I told my brother about it, and he said "so is your pc a fish tank now?" I was like ugh never mind.

    So everything up until the turbo speeds stick with the Intel specs but once you go above turbo (4.5ghz I suppose) adaptive will take over and set a maximum voltage? 
     
    Also I'm super disappointed in the heat of kaby lake. 
    Can't read even hit 4.7 without warm temps, but my voltages seem very low. Just a shitty tim job I guess.

    Stuff_ reacted to laminutederire in AI can predict who will be criminals based on facial features   
    " Absent, too, is any discussion of the incredible potential for abuse of this software by law enforcement. Kate Crawford, an AI researcher with Microsoft Research New York, MIT, and NYU, told The Intercept, “I‘d call this paper literal phrenology, it’s just using modern tools of supervised machine learning instead of calipers. It’s dangerous pseudoscience.” " Does that resume your thoughts? (It's from the article of the source of this post)
    Re read the article more thoroughly, it's damn scary...
    Half of the criminals probably aren't criminal since they are only in the wanted list of the Chinese government... so they may just be enemies of the state because they want freedom and say it loud enough, while still being smart enough not to be arrested. That starts well.

    Some really interesting stuff going on there.

    They had access to the administration panel of the registrar, not the site (imagine the registrar is like the post office, they keep tabs on who and where every one is). 
    It is not like that in this case. 
    He can say what he likes, if he'd like to provide some proof I would happily take him seriously. 
    The issue is that Linus may not legally be able to tell you about that company. he may have a contract with an NDA protecting them, or maybe he's planning to take legal action against them, whatever the case is, if he doesn't or can't tell you, I think we should respect it, because I'm sure he has reasons. 
     
    Sadly to the general public it's a differentiation without a difference. It's sometimes hard to balance the discussion of something so technical knowing that many people reading would not have the background to understand the minutiae of the topic.

    Why would they no longer wish to sell the DB if they actually had it? Basically Linus called their bluff, and thus far, they haven't done anything to prove their cards. If they really had it, and wanted to call Linus out on being a "fucking retard" then they would paste the DB somewhere, and simply not sell it.

    Stuff_ got a reaction from AU_Gundam in Intel wants USB-C to replace the headphone jack   
    Adapter is the wrong way to approach the problem. If you lose it, you're SOL. 

    So often I listen to music in my car. My car isn't new enough to have a Bluetooth module to support music, so I use the aux input. nearly every time I charge, and listen simultaneously (so my battery doesn't drain). I can no longer do this without some adapter? That sucks.

    Stuff_ got a reaction from ShadowCaptain in Deadmau5 watches LTT   
    Joel (deadmau5) produces exactly what he always has (if you ignore his halcyon441 (pre-deadmau5 era, but of course everything was different in 80's)). I don't see anything that Joel has done as commercialized. If you look at David Guetta, absolutely. This is likely why he hates most EDM artists (Zedd, Calvin Harris, Avicii, etc). They've done precisely what you said.
     
    Further, times change. Things change. Electronic music has, not only grown, but become more defined as a whole. You can specifically find what you like. 
     
    You're acting like that hipster that got upset because his favorite underground artist now has 10 views on YouTube.

    To further @ShadowCaptains point, you should be happy more peoole have discovered these styles of music. That has moved the entire electronic music genres as a whole. New ones popped up, etc. And independent labels like mau5trap and monstercat came about and allow people to keep their own music style while being able to get paid for their work.

    Well, he watches it occasionally. I thought that was cool. I suppose it's expected; Deadmau5 is a pretty tech-savvy guy.

    Not true at all. He takes much more time to actually create his music, and he loves doing it. 
    Just the other day he did a live set on twitch, and it was really fun.
     
     
    But yeah, he's a really nice guy. He does troll, but who doesnt.

    @GlassBomb they didn't say a free product. They said the shipping is free. No cost, to the consumer, for the shipping. The shipping costs is a different industry, thus a separate cost is associated with it.

    Stuff_ got a reaction from ian223 in Lawmakers pushing to make owning an unregistered prepaid phone illegal   
    This is fine. A lot of countries already have this in place. There's no issue with registering a pre-paid phone. Unless you are doing something bad/illegal. Which is the point of this bill.
     
    Also people will complain about this bill, however they don't even have a pre-paid device. Anything the government does to try and curb terrorism, illegal activity, etc, is frowned upon by the general public because of their ignorance.
