  1. Well my day went from mediocre to terrible, finding your dog dead really just hurts

      Sorry to hear this.

      Best wishes through that, losing a pet is really losing a family member and can be hard (been there), I really am sorry for your loss.

  2. In all likelyhood the recent update to windows 10 botched the install causing the memory leaks as that has been a fairly common issue with past updates and this particular update was quite terrible in terms of reliability. To fix it you would likely have to reinstall windows 10, in a clean install fashion. (no guarantees it would fix it though as I said this update is particularly terrible) Also I'm not downloading a zip file to look at the specifics, I assume its just a single system operation eating the ram.

    Yep and as usual it was over hyped (just like Fury/x)

    If only cod games would flop, they stopped being fun after MW2, og Blops was fine but MW3 and up are trash so they likely will continue riding their money trains
  5. On the one hand this technology is likely going to abused beyond the scope of identifying targets seen by an attack drone thus being a major potential issue down the line. But if these people think that this tech used in the context of project maven would lead to more drone strikes on identified targets well they'd be wrong as the military usually launches anyway if targets appear to be "military aged men" I personally have no moral issue on working with weapons or on military projects, but given the political leanings of google employees I'm not surprised some do granted the fact they just realize google isn't some hippy liberal arts college and rather a immoral company makes me question their vigilance prior to this.
  6. The point of a poll is projection of outcome, preference or current standing if polls have become less accurate (which they have) then these projections are less meaningful, as to why they've become less accurate I can't be expected to know more than billion dollar information collection agencies but it is clear that they have become less accurate when comparing projections to outcomes in more than just the US election (pollsters even admitted it) As for statistical data I would be fine with it if it wasn't manipulated in some manner the vast majority of the time there is a reason why "Lies, damned lies, and statistics" is a saying. However it is becoming quite clear I should just post memes on threads about this topic as it would accomplish far more.
  7. This is true but it does mean that I can ignore them without much care without other evidence, people can use them as supporting evidence but they are not something that can stand alone, the results of elections and referendum would be far more conclusive and worth discussing.
  8. Quite a few potential reasons including network strain, the inability to prioritize business customers, potential legal fees every time netflix is laggy, the other aspects of something being a utility such as their legal responsibilities when having to deal with customers being more obtuse. But more so I think there is one key thing and you reference it in your list They would however would it placate the average consumer if it seemed that ISPs were indifferent to the law, essentially if it doesn't make the companies whom everyone hates suffer then why would it gain support, its quite a good strategy if it is planned but given that Obama was quite chummy with Comcast executives I doubt it really affects them in an extreme manner regardless.
  9. Wait so people are speculating that due to all of our recent info being speculation we are going to not be seeing new Nvidia GPUs for a while and then speculated a reason why...........ok why would the lack of credible info be any different than any other launch
  10. Who the hell takes surveys Did you see election polls prior to Trump winning Frankly after Obamacare was shoved down my throat I'm all for not passing anything ever again on the federal level, I prefer my state government to the federal nonsense any day.
  11. That's because they weren't in agreement of territory boundaries yet, in essence all of these issues stem from localized monopolization of telecommunications via a "secret" (everyone knows about it) agreement between the major providers to essentially form a cartel. In essence enforce the laws that deal with cartels and the issue becomes entirely meaningless. Frankly net neutrality never stopped throttling, it just changed how they do it essentially throttling data during certain time spans for regions rather than certain content like video streams and torrent.
  12. I honestly don't think most people care tbh, democrats might care but frankly they aren't swing voters so that's a wash mostly what the republicans should do is push for states rights to decide which means they don't have to allow it but put it into an ultimately unenforceable situation while doing something their base would agree with and snuff out cries about this relatively unimportant issue (since again it doesn't fix anything)
  13. Well I doubt it will pass the house and honestly I don't want it to I'd rather the companies that are forming a cartel be broken apart as net neutrality doesn't fix anything for me what so ever.
  14. No, pricing doesn't go down on CPUs not if they're new anyway
  15. Ummm I would not do that personally the HDD could start turning in an unbalance manner potentially leading to failure, its not an absolute requirement but almost all manufacturers recommend a 90 degree variant so horizontal or vertical
  16. If its specific to chrome it is in all likely hood a software issue and given the recent instability of windows 10 updates that would be my primary suspect, can't hurt to try the extra psu though, assuming its enough to power the computer That would likely fix the issue if software related, the only other potential problematic software component that would remain afterwards would be the bios
  17. No but if the solder was very light the contacts can burn
  18. Yield issues merely limit the profit margin and max output, and given how the main benefit besides die shrink of a smaller process node is power efficiency it would make sense to push that for mobile chips even if it may not get as good profit margins.

    Oh hey, I think I've been here for two years no…

    @Jtalk4456 Not as old (though not by much) but I didn't realize I've been on the forum for over two years till now, it feels like it wasn't that long time flies

    Every time I look at windows 10 more spiders burst from its seems, I think I'll stay away from those spiders The fact the OS is still riddled with memory leaks and crash potential issues this late in the game is unacceptable for an OS, this is why you don't fire your testing and validation departments.

    SO, with what Intel has released about the Z390…

    Yep 4790k is still a great chip, until programs start utilizing more cores or IPC jumps I see no reason to move on from it and frankly even if the core utilization jumps I would not go AMD assuming they are going to keep using infinity fabric, its not stable enough to be considered reliable nor are their optimizations on real world aps worthwhile.
  23. I don't install anything I don't intend on using, you can always install it later if you change your mind As for utilities I never saw a need for them, if you see a feature you like from one then grab it otherwise just avoid them (this is true for most moba vendors)

    SO, with what Intel has released about the Z390…

    I don't see why people even care about it being compatible tbh, if the board lasts longer than the chip its either a result of user error or a faulty chip. Frankly I should never want to upgrade my cpu that frequently and if a company isn't changing there designs in 5 years they are not going to be offering anything worth a damn.
