This is great discussion, thank you everyone. Like I said, a lot of us around here still use PIA, but the VPN industry as a whole seems to be in a weird place these days, so we're still going to hold off on actively promoting anyone in the space for now.

In the pursuit of ever increasing monetization, today we're announcing our presence on a new platform...OnlyFans!

Doesn't matter if it's a joke, I got what I was looking for...

We had a plan to do this but killed it because a lot of the other things that make LTX so great, didn't translate well.
 
Don't worry though, we've got some smaller, fun things in store coming later this Summer.

I was surprised to see the notification on my rooted S7 Edge with a custom ROM. 
 
Never enabled Find My Mobile so wondering how they done it.

dude is hitting that midlife crisis. I'm right there with him. This shit 8-5 job is turning me into a zombie just so i can afford my lifestyle, which is spending 80% of it at work, preparing for work, and missing out my life and kids and family. I have another 17 years of this to look forward to. At least Linus can make a lot of money and actually contemplate retiring at some point in the near future.
 
I'm a slave to my mortgage for the next 20 years, and no real way out of it.

Every single youtube reviewer has stated that the 3600 is the best performing and value for money CPU around... Intel integrated GPU's are garbage for gaming so you'll need a GPU regardless. Your brother doesn't know what he's talking about and probably has only ever listened to intels marketing blurb or intel fanbois.
 
You gain massive performance over anything similar from intel with the exception of a few areas that where intel has better single thread performance... So games that rely heavily on single thread workloads may still slightly favour intel CPU's... But overall, when you factor in all types of games and other work loads... the Ryzen 5 3600 wins out by a large margin.
 
and always... ALWAYS go for dual channel ram, these Ryzen CPU's love it... the faster the better. If you can afford 3600mhz, get it unless you are sticking with a B450 board in which case you may struggle to run it at those speeds... It does vary from though... 3200mhz ram is still a good bet if you want to save a little extra towards a better GPU
 
 
As for your brothers reasoning... is he utterly clueless, or deliberately trying to sabotage your build?

Hmmm, your brother doesn't seem to know what he is talking about.  Like . . . at all.

A lot of bad information overall in this thread.  
 
1.) You cant go Quad Channel with Ryzen 3000 (or Intel consumer products afaik)
2.) Single Channel (1 stick) is performance degradation on both platforms
3.) Almost all of AMD product line-ups are overclockable, highly recommended from me
4.) Your brother has no idea what he is talking about
5.) A iGPU (integrated GPU) will only work for doing Netflix and stuff.  Some games like Pinball will work fine with it but overall its not a GPU (built in graphics display on intel).  If you are not building a gaming rig, then go with AMD APU's, still a much better offering than Intel atm.

R5 3600 is overclocable just like all other AMD CPUs, AMD is not doing the same locked shit the Intel does. All the X at the end means is just that it's slightly better binned CPU factory pre-overclocked a bit.

in my book, thats 95$ more to spend on a GPU

If i were you, i would probably go with AMD

I suggest you stop talking to your brother about computers.

He's giving you some BAD information. First, you should always go with dual-channel RAM if it's an option. Single-Channel immediately takes away performance. Second, you cannot use Intel's integrated graphics to play any real games. You need to purchase a GPU no matter what. Finally, the Ryzen 5 3600 offers better overall performance, but it does lose in a handful of games. 
 
So you had the right idea, do not listen to your brother.

Depends on which one. Its like asking if a car is good for racing.

By all logical definitions each land mass is an Island (how we have decided to define the word we made up, island) so I concur, Africa is a continent but also an island - but their question asked specifically what ISLAND in the continent of Africa is the largest - and that is referencing Africa as a continent, and the merriam webster says it has to be smaller than a continent, so in this specific question the other people were right about Madagascar.

So, this is ENTIRELY rumor, the sources are "itself" and WCCFTech, and they flat out admit that they know truly nothing about the GPU's...
 
?

Just in case any of y'all wanted it!

That there in lies the problem. Mental Heath is not taken serrously. We dont have a good system in the US for dealing with Mental Health and that has been the cause of numerous problems in the US.
