You could argue pretty much any autocorrect/learning keyboard is a keylogger then. I think the whole hullabaloo surrounding the "privacy concerns" for Windows 10 are ridiculous. Your phones have "keyloggers", track your location, and use advertising across devices already as do desktop browsers. First everyone criticized them for being underhanded with the privacy settings which was valid. Now that they've come out and laid everything out and even made the dumb users aware of what they were tracking. 
 
Now it's a conspiracy and Microsoft is obviously lying, it never ends does it. Can't possibly say Microsoft did something good, nooo, Microsoft is evil and trying to track all of us, even though they do much less than modern day smartphones...I'm honestly so done with the ignorant Microsoft hate train, it screams of "I don't understand anything about data security and the fact that we carry around mobile gps', with all our personal and sensitive data, cameras, and microphones", oh but Autocorrect and advertising? Microsoft is literally Hitler
 
Edit: Now does this mean I'm ok with spying? Fuck no, but Microsoft is doing leagues less than what is being done on the smartphone side of things, even though they could well go full throttle spy mode yet they haven't

Becausse with Product X (Ryzen 1700) you can just overclock it to 4ghz or however high you can get it and call it a day while still having your warranty in tact
 
But with Product Y (7700k) your warranty is voided just by overclocking their unlocked CPU, then if you don't want terrible thermal performance, you need to buy a delidder ($20-$30), liquid metal ($10), knowledge on how to delid and relid or seat in the socket wihtout shifting the cpu. Then you have a faster processor just for gaming. At which point, it doesn't make much sense unless you know how to do all of the above and are willing to do so from the start. For non-enthusiasts and just gamers in general, the 7700k is pretty much equivalent in buying power to the 1700 with a small performance hit, but for less money. It's basically a trade off between the two processors, where one is bought over the other in the above scenario.

Honestly this was not GN best video, the whole point of the heat shield is to shield from heat and act as an insulant. The point of the heat shield is to prevent GPU fans from venting out heat onto the SSD and potentially damaging it over long term. Why GN didn't test with a gpu which is what the whole purpose of the heat shield is for, idk, maybe it was just an oversight. Just thought to add some context here

See, the people who game for days straight then drop dead ARE mentally ill, but it's just a different outlet for their mental illness, not a whole different disorder. This is retarded, coming from someone who has family members and friends working in various medical fields from cardiology to neurology to psychiatry, they all laughed when I showed them the article.
 
First at Breitbart (Even my the neurologist who is very conservative)
 
Then at the "claim" that there can possibly be a gaming "disorder"

This is the go to argument for defending Microsoft. I get it, it seems a bit pointless to split hairs over what Microsoft is tracking, when you may well use an Android phone.
 
But, it sidesteps the actual issue. Microsoft have changed business models, they've gone down the route of trying to copy Google, and they've treated their consumers with a certain level of arrogance. The very first example of this, is trying to create a local account on your first install of Windows 10. For any competent user, it's a real smack in the face when they treat people like idiots. If you attempt to take away control of your OS and how it's used from your technically proficient users, you will alienate them, and they will push back, or move to an OS that better suits their needs.

"4k", I don't even understand how they can market these things as 4k gaming and get away with it. I don't think a single PS4 game plays at 4k, but rather just uses reprojection and tiled rendering, and even then the resolution doesn't hit 4k but somewhere slightly below it. Usually 1440p or inbetweent 1440p and 4k
 
Interested to see how Scorpio goes but I expect the result to stay the same, Xbox just doesn't have a reason for anyone to buy it anymore? What exciting exclusives are there over Ps4? Practically none outside Gears, Halo, and Forza which all recently have not done very well aside from Halo 5's multiplayer. I've been thinking about heading back to my sony roots for a while (had a ps1, and ps2 fat/slim) but again, it would only be for the exclusives. And right now I'm waiting to see if sony makes a move like Microsoft to push for game everywhere for PC as well. The only thing that turns me off from buying a console is having to pay fucking $10 a month to actually play the damn games because they have bullshit drm checks and can't run without being online.

And do you hold this view to your phone's keyboard as well as autocorrect? Do you disable those on your phone as well? so.....

I don't
 
wait .. AMD has patents? where did they found them, in a cereal box?

Ok, I laughed because it's probably where they also found their marketing department. Probably sent some boxtops into kellog for "professional marketeers"

If you actually read the chart they are using game release performance, which is pre-performance fixing patches for most of the games excluding ashes of the singularity. How much of the performance increase was actually Nvidias new driver rather than the actual patches being pushed through these games? If they had tested current patches before and after Nvidia drivers then we'd be talking. But this? It's nothing until I see someone test before and after with the drivers on these games
