I suspect Epic is claiming damages from lost sales originating from the negative affect of stream sniping on the twitch audience as any proceeds from hack/mods sales are to small to qualify. They still need to have more evidence beyond "they must have reverse engineered" to get past a hearing or two but most of these lawsuits end with the defendants failing to respond. I have not seen any reports of actual follow through to collect damages. Seems merely a cease and desist action. It would be interesting to see some well financed and motivated defendants take a case like this all the way the get a few more definitive legal rulings in this area.

I assume you are using nicehash. I had to back my max overclock down to keep it stable with nicehash while running a monitor as well. I suspect your problem is related to mining while running a monitor with nicehash auto setting your P0 power state. I believe it maxes mining and when the display wants resources the drivers briefly interrupt whats running to prevent lock. perhaps make different oc profile for each and restart between to make sure the power state is rest.

Is it a 2GB or 4GB 960?

If the bandwidth is available it only takes one isp offering unlimited everything to break that practice, Look at the progression of cellular data plans over the year. I'm typing this over a Verizon hotspot with an unlimited data plan. Verizon did not want to offer unlimited data plans but competition forced them to. EA just tried to pull similar thing with starwars and look how long that lasted.

The solution to all the fear of ISP throttling is Google Fiber or equivalent. With 1GB up/down there is no incentive to throttle. So we should be trying to get there instead of adding governmental overhead to protect against imagined fears and maintain the status quo.

The internet we have now was developed and became great without net neutrality. Look back at the history or government regs in regards to tech, they are always a bottleneck and behind on almost everything. Need an example? "When AT&T wanted to start developing cellular in 1947, the FCC rejected the idea, believing that spectrum could be best used by other services that were not “in the nature of convenience or luxury.” This view – that this would be a niche service for a tiny user base – persisted well into the 1980s." https://investorplace.com/2017/07/we-could-have-had-cell-phones-40-years-earlier-ggsyn/#.WhXHn0qnFaQ

I had a evga 960 4gb FTW and it could do +96 core +414 memory but some games did not like any memory offset making them freeze and crash. Make sure you stress test it before trying games and back it off a bit from your max overclock.

Oh no..... the FTC will once again be responsible for regulating anti-competitive ISP behavior, however will we manage. My house is only a few hundred yards from the local comcast plant and this week they finally agreed to extend service providing I fork over a not insignificant amount of thousands of dollars for the line. I've been trying to have this done for years while using satellite and cellular connections. For everyone with high speed internet don't forget those without and the role competition with private ISP investment make in improving service for all. Sanctioned monopolies are the problem.

"Remember how Apple unveiled its $1,000 iPhone X with facial recognition software that allows you to unlock your phone with your face? Well good news, people who don’t have enough to worry about in the realm of cybersecurity already! Now there’s a neural net that can take just about any 2D face picture and model it as a 3D face. And while any security threats the tech poses are probably not imminent, it’s still pretty easy to imagine this technique being used for something nefarious." https://nerdist.com/neural-net-3d-face-2d-creepy/ https://www.theverge.com/2017/9/18/16327906/3d-model-face-photograph-ai-machine-learning Try it here: http://cvl-demos.cs.nott.ac.uk/vrn/ Can we get some 3D printed Linus Masks? This is not breaking news but after the WAN show discussion I was surprised no one brought this up. Considering this type of tool in conjunction with the massive private and public sector facial databases, the iphone X and facial id ingeneral does not seem secure.

They don't offer unlimited data with those unfortunately so it has to be a "phone"

I need suggestions for a cheap phone with fast hotspot capability. For $20/month I can add a line to my Verizon Unlimited Family Plan. I am planning on using this line as a 24/7 hotspot for my home network. Until my local ISP adds ports (waiting 2 years) my only other option is satellite which is $65/month for lower speeds than Verizon. My local Verizon tower gets little traffic so I use 300GB/month on my phone with no noticeable throttling. I want to use this new 24/7 line primarily to handle updates (steam, Microsoft, drivers) so I don't need to wait every time I connect and to send security notifications. It needs to be a phone to get unlimited data so should I just pick the cheapest 4G Lte Verizon phone? Or are there differences in through-put speeds on the cheaper/older 4G phones or compatibility issues when sharing connections. The phone will connect via usb to my PC with the connection shared to other devices. Thanks

Just sold my evga 960 4gb for $160 (craigslist) and ordered the B-Stock 980ti VR edition for $299 as I figure that it is a newer SKU than with less use then the others. Possibly the best $140 I've ever spent. 1 year warranty. Thought for a while about the b-stock 1070 sc for $350 but no.

A better laptop for my girlfriend. She has an ancient HP running Windows Vista that's sounds like it's taring itself apart inside and gets hot enough to cook eggs. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00SV72ZA2/ref=mp_s_a_1_12?qid=1449812832&sr=8-12π=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70&keywords=laptop
