  1. @dizmo +1 Yep exactly. @valdyrgramr Yes, but water is a strong natural barrier against radiation. And also against neutron rays. That's (partly) why nuclear plant reactor are built with a pool above the reactor. So the ocean could be locally contaminated by human activity, and it's under close look by world wide agency to monitor the decay of the radioactivity in those area (if they still exist, apart from Fukushima obv.)
  2. Actually it would be a highly diluted contamination. Still pretty bad tho. Like the one happening in Fukushima (Leakage from the blew-up reactor and uranium bars pool's directly in the ocean). You would have to forbidden fishing in that area for a lonnnnnng time. Hopefully, since Chernobyl incident, they know how to do things. (fingers crossed !)
  3. Funny. But, it really could be just a bug. That the thing with big companies : we assume that everything they do is on purpose, after all, they have a such internal checking and testing system that never fail. How could they push a bugged update ? Here is the thing : It is still run by human that make mistake. So i found it plausible that it was "just a bug". Okay it is not very likely, but considering that even replacing screen with a genuine one don't work... yeah that's a bit "too big" to be "on purpose". IMO.
  4. To have installed my Vive in random location for demo (LAN for example), i find it pretty easy to setup after all. You just put the base station somewhat facing each other, use one Wand controller to set the edge of the play area, and.... done. I mean, how could it be more straightforward ? (Yeah ; that the base station scan the room ofc )
  5. I've always find this move (with X series) kinda weird : You pay the "X" an extra 10-20 bucks, and they remove the cheapo-but-handy heat sinks. I know Intel is doing the same with "K", but that was a point that AMD could use to not be compared with the competition.
  6. Well they maybe want to skip the 2800 for this refresh, and bring the X800 series back for Zen 2, who knows. Lest wait the official presentation before drawing any conclusion i suppose.
  7. Good point. But that is without saying that you have the money to do so. Most of "young" or with low income peoples may be attracted by the fact that they can just spend a few hundred in a new CPU, and see the benefit immediately. Well, if there is a benefit to see. But we can argue that after 4 years, at least in generic task, CPUs have a significant boost. Especially if you consider the person who bought a i3/r3, then upgrade to a last gen i7/r7.
  8. On the French website Tom's Hardware, relaying Chinese website "Hardware Battle", a capture of a synthetic test of the allegedly 2700X, show some good performance compare to his rival, the Intel 8700K. http://www.tomshardware.fr/articles/ryzen-7-2000-processeur-amd-benchmarks,1-66968.html I translate for you : The Chinese "Hardware Battle" just publish new benchmarks of Ryzen 2000 (allegedly 2700X) CPU. The website doesn't give the exact model and we have to wait the launch of the new family of chip in April to confirm those result. They are interesting, because they show that XFR 2.0 of Ryzen 2000 could reach 4.35Ghz, offering a boost in performance relative to first Ryzen. Ryzen 2000 could take the leap against Coffe Lake 8700K according to the result in 3D Mark FireStrike Ultra and Cinebench R15. It is important to take this with a bit of salt, and wait for more ample test. Results of those benchmarks are nonetheless encouraging. this boost gain in performance seem to be due to memory optimization, AIDA64 is showing a non-negligible drop in latency. Another source from videocardz.com (Thx @Carclis) Slide from the Zen+ presentation leaked (Thx @Taf the Ghost)
  9. They just pushed the live stream to +24 hours. I guess they won't launch today.
  10. From my understanding, Face ID will not require 100% of the face to recognize you (A bit like Touch ID don't need 100% of your finger to recognize you). That is why even with a full motorcycle helmet, Apple claim that it will still work. So make-up and other fancy head decoration should not be a problem for Face ID.
  11. Considering that a mask, realized by specialist from hollywood (if i recall the keynote correctly), didn't fooled FaceID, how in hell, could a fancy picture do it ? I'm legitimately curious.
  12. No. You also have to look at it. I bet it'll be much harder for someone to force you to look at your iPhone to unlock it, than cut your "unlock" finger (if it go this far..).
