    DocSwag got a reaction from AlTech in New iPhone 11 Launching Q3   
    Guys, I have some insane news you guys are not going to believe it. Apple's next iPhone is going to launch in the same time frame it always does. I know it's very surprising and you guys probably aren't gonna believe it, but trust me, it's true.

    this conversation happened between my mom and me just before christmas. she was doing some last minute shopping and asked me for a recommendation for my uncle. he like to take pictures and goes on a trip at least once every 3 months and already has a dslr so i told my mom to get him the ryze tello as it is relatively cheap that captures fairly decent pictures/videos. i then told her that he would only need a mobile phone to connect with it via wifi. then my mom thought it was a great idea because they will have a trip back to the philippines and would be perfect to capture aerial shots but she is worried that it might not work there because the place they are going to does not have wifi. i then told my mom that it does not matter because the phone will directly connect to the drone via wifi. she then reiterated that the place is a bit remote with no/poor internet. this went on for probably 5-10mins before my mom understood that wifi and internet are totally different things. i had to use a bluetooth pairing analogy which thank god i had just explained to her a few weeks before. ?

    This one time back in 2017 or so I came across a guy who was looking to make a new PC. He had given me a .txt file of his "dream parts list" and it wasn't even formatted right. He had the names of everything though and model numbers and all that. He had a H110M motherboard paired witha 1700x. That paired with a GTX 1050 TI and 32 GB RAM. I kinda just stopped talking to him at that point.

    I thought this was established already when it came out that 2990WX benchmarks under Linux painted a brighter picture for the CPU?

    I was helping my neighbor pair a bluetooth speaker and I asked her about an old Macbook Air she had laying on a wicker basket on her patio (yep, just laying there).
     
    I asked her if she had issues with it running hot, and if she wanted my Macbook Pro as a trade (she didnt care about the Air, I wanted something lighter than my old Pro).

    Her response was, word for word, "Oh no, Macbooks don't overheat. They have cooling fans."
     
    This was the day Linus reviewed the Core i9 macbook. I just chuckled and changed topics.

    2400 MHz is your memory not GPU core lol. You can see from the userbenchmark thing it says CLim (which I'm assuming is the core clock speed) is more around 2100

    @Flem33
    it won't game without a GPU, but as for the other parts yeah that's a pretty damn good PC.
     
    but i recommend you throw that PSU out and replace it with a lower wattage and higher quality one, even with an RTX 2080 Ti you won't need more than 500-600W

    I recall helping a guy (with two PHDs) with an issue where his PC was only typing weird characters.
     
    I went up to his desk, moved his textbook off the shift and CTRL keys and fixed his issue.

    A sibling buys a new hard drive after I try to get him to buy a SSD, telling him that the ~100MBs of a HD is going to be terribly slow for his boot drive in comparison to the ~500MBs of a SSD.
     
    He gets back with his new HD and tries to tell me how he saved a ton of money not taking my advice because his new HD says it will perform at 6Gigabytes per second. I try to explain that it's saying it uses the sata 3 6gigabit standard and all he's going to get is about 100MBs.
     
    Failing to listen to me again he tells our mutual friend that is hard drive is going to outperform our friends NVME-SSD.
     
    Needless to say after he left me and that friend had a good laugh. Some people never learn. And worst of all, he claims to be techy.

    I see this was moved to general discussion but why is this not news? The rule says 
    but if this guy found this and doesn't work for a news site he can't report it as news?

    Breaking fingerprint is pretty bad for security in general

    Dang... I know someone with a 6T. The next time I see them I'll see if I can try it out.
    It won't get locked, the mods will just move it to a different sub forum if they feel it's not following the guidelines and once you edit it to be fixed they'll move it back. I personally think your post is probably fine since videos are usually a bit unique in that you can't exactly quote text or anything

    I'm a bit worried about what malicious things this can be used for though, and what legal implications might arise.

    Based on the information I have received, I will likely be going with a 2600/x, and then upgrading once Zen 2 drops. It is worth the wait, especially since I will not be gaming on 1440p or 4k as soon as I am finished with the build.
