    Horry Sheet! The mobile site supports notificat…

    I only know it does because the notification sound always takes priority over my music, which goes super quiet when I open the forums
  6. 960. Slightly slower, but longer driver support. Now that Fermi has been cut Kepler is next on the chopping block. Get a 4GB version if you can, 2GB 960 is pain.
  7. Completely TPM based if it's available. Secureboot will still shit the bed if an EFI module is loaded that isn't properly digitally signed, and will make you recover the key through various methods, which would tip off literally anybody that something's amiss. Anyway -- SPI should be locked on most systems from being flashed UNLESS the binary is signed with the same key. HP encrypts the whole UEFI with their own RSA key, and that should be an industry standard IMHO.

    I'll probably ALWAYS recommend AMD over Intel.

    Here in Australia the 2600 is much higher priced than the 84/8500. 8400 delivers much better gaming performance and Intel's cheap mobos (H310, B360) are sometimes half the price of B450 boards. It's very region dependent but I'd rather recommend 8400 for games (or Adobe users) and 2600 for games + content creation.

    then you're biased... your purchases should be based on whatever suits the persons needs best. not based on "muh AMD, chairman mao su makes best CPU" bullshit i'm fine recommending amd -- but if you're for example primarily gaming or using apps like the adobe suite (which haven't been optimised for AMD hardware at all) then you should recommend intel instead. recommend based on the person's needs not based on your own retarded personal biases
  10. One of the bigger electronics retailers in Australia. Like Best Buy levels of common.
  11. I've never had JB upsell me like that. Only HN and the Good Guys. I still own a monster HDMI cable. It's actually pretty good, but I'd never pay extra for it.
  12. "What is your email address" Why? "For the warranty" I'll file that with the manufacturer, thanks. "Okay" I don't want more spam, fuck off HN
  13. Nope.. This is your own security breached. You've been exposed on some sketchy list of usernames and passwords, which script kiddies have immediately started feeding into sites. Ubi support is super nice, talk to them and get your damn account back.
  14. most enthusiast boards have nice looking uefi, and HP and Dell's business machines have very nice UEFI with mouse support. but on consumer trash theres no need for that, consumers dont touch the bios 99% of the time anyway.

    tf2 would actually be cool to see - source games hate less than quads (tested with csgo, I get ~120fps on a system with 2c/4t but nearly double that on a system with 4c/4t). the igp would also be a cool test platform, considering the lack of CUs. 3 CUs? :^)
  17. mini-consoles are not sold at a loss at all - the hardware would be roughly $10 a unit - they use cheap allwinner arm cpus that are hated by the development community due to a lack of fucking everything and horrid OS support. (at least nintendo's hardware, sony's is unknown until people get their hands on it)
  18. wonder if they can get online optimisation good on consoles -- gta:o ran sub 20fps sometimes on ps4 base, even worse on xb1 with the worse gpu and less mem bandwidth.
  19. it would seem so - i'd still try it with another card and see if rendering performance improves. theoretically applications like this would use vram as texture cache only during the raytracing process.
  20. all are wired pcie, no msata here
  21. ... are you actually going to give us references to where it states that or are you just going to continue spreading useless FUD?
  22. This is for targeted Business to Business marketing. Outline which page that states they sell social media info to businesses, or stop spreading FUD.
  23. This is for businesses -- just makes it easier for smbs (especially without an IT department) to keep their systems patched and running well. This isn't really necessary for an end consumer.
  24. port needs to be wired sata not pcie, what's your laptop model - I'll check the data sheet on it and see what the mpcies are wired.

    @Ashiella better yet, use the xeon v3 boost clock lock EFI and lock it to maximum boost over all cores. I've seen 3.5Ghz 12cores, which is cool. Double that and it'll definitely bulldoze your Ryzen in content creation (doesn't help that most apps don't optimise for AMD anyway -- I'm looking at you, Adobe)
