I think everyone's missing the point that Apple was trying to make here. Apple implemented encryption as a measure to protect user data from prying eyes. But lots of people here seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding of what this means. Encryption deals with complex algorithms and keys. In simple terms, these keys are big numbers that can be used to get the original data out of the scrambled up mess that encryption results in. What Apple is saying is that they designed this encryption schema in such a way that they don't have any private keys that would give them access to user data on the phone. 
 
A common argument I'm seeing here is that "Apple designed it, so can't they just decrypt it?" Well of course, if they had a key. Breaking encryption means finding the key to the encrypted data. However, modern methods of data encryption are done in such a way that even if you had the data in its encrypted form, you have nothing to go off of other than guessing. Constantly guessing to find the key is called a "Brute force attack." Brute forcing modern encryption methods mean that it could take millions upon millions of years to guess the key that works even with the fastest and most powerful supercomputers in the world trying keys. Unless the FBI is willing to wait this long, it can't be done.
 
Also, this means that should Apple find the key for this particular phone, there's no guarantee that the same key would work on the encrypted data of the next phone. What the government is doing is asking Apple to design their software in such a way that Apple always has a key that works. Now this sort of method is in use, such as the private keys that banks have which they use to decrypt transaction data sent from your computer or phone when purchasing something. But Apple argues that the type of data that the government could have access to with a single master key would be too telling about a person, and be a major breach of privacy. 
 
In short, fuck the government. Apple is totally in the right. 

*pats my dual stack router*
IPv6 is here already. it just needs to be "there" too.
 
(with "there" being those ISPs in the states that think e-mail is still all one would ever do on the internet)

If they just kept the site up but not the content I would say "Yay FBI FTW" but if they also kept the content up and available that's a little weird. Did none of the higher ups see any problems with that?
 
Couldn't they achieve the same result hosting a page identical to the site minus the content? Like let the creep-o's visited, poke around trying to find the goods, all the while the FBI is uploading their info to trace.

Agree that is good but not for the sake of owning it. I am studying Psychology an I truly believe that they have Psychological issue's that attract them to CP instead of punishing them for this Realy bad crime they should try to find out why it happens in the first place and then try to kill it at the source. As a general poeple like punishment more than reformation.   

When first overclocking, you should disable turbo and speed stepping. This makes stress testing a bit easier since it locks your cpu to full speed. You can enable them again when you get a stable oc.
 
For the settings, there is the quick and dirty way, and there is the methodical way. Quick and dirty is setting the voltage to a much higher value like 1.25 or 1.3, then seeing what multiplier is stable in your preferred stress test.
 
, manually set the voltage to the stock value listed in the bios. Set the multiplier to 40. Boot into Windows and run a stress test for about 15-20 mins. Keep increasing the multiplier by one until you get a blue screen. Then add a bit of voltage (anywhere from 0.01-0.03v is good, you want to keep this small) then stress test for a bit longer like 30 mins. Then repeat the process, stress testing longer as you go on. This gets you the lowest voltage for your overclock.
 
Most people use a mix of the two. A good place to start since you have a good cooler is 4.5 ghz with 1.2 or 1.25v. Once that is stable then you can keep pushing slowly, one mullet at a time, adding voltage only when you get a blue screen. Doing this, make sure to stress test for 1-2 hours on the first test to make sure you are starting stable to make the rest of the overclocking easier.
 
Once you are done (be sure to do a long 3-4 hour stress test) you can enable turbo, speed stepping, and adaptive voltage to make the cpu behave like a stock cpu with a turbo up to what your overclock is set to. Or you can leave it locked at 100% 24/7. Your call. Personally I prefer it to downclock when I'm not doing anything intensive.

This is speaking from personal experience, I would have to use that CPU again (which is still kicking around) and my GTX 960 to recreate the scenario I was seeing.

I'm not trying to shit on AMD's chips, they have their uses. However, for gaming, I don't believe (and I'm not the only one here) that they are a good value prospect.

So I looked in that Voat thread the OP linked to, and it seems people there were just as trusting of him as we are here. He also provided a link to an ISO that apparently doesn't work in a virtualized environment and must be run on a physical machine; pretty suspicious. A lot of his method seems to involve disabling random Windows applications and completely innocent network services in the name of preventing spying, which the OP conflates to human rights abuses, which shows that he has no idea what he's doing or even talking about. The applications he provides are safe, but one of them has a commercial license and can't legally be redistributed without permission - so he's basically promoting piracy, again, in the name of preventing spying. Oh, and when people question why he disables this or that even though they're pretty essential towards the functionality of Windows, he gets defensive and accused people of being MS shills for doubting him.
 
I think it's pretty safe to say that OP is full of shit.

dont do anythin this guy is saying if you dont want to potentially brick your system, he has no idea what he's doing.
 
if you want some actually decent information on how to stop the nasty stuff, go to barnacules on youtube, he has a few tricks.

oh, and in terms of credibility, he used to be on the microsoft bugtesting team as a quite respected employee, until MS decided to fire... everyone.

So you are against IE and Edge because they communicate with microsoft but you are ok with skype and windows update. That doesn't make any sense.

I5 or i7 with no gpu?
Why exactly?

Atleast 5gigabit speeds? All the android phones with USB-C are running on USB 2.0. The USB 3 chip apparently draws too much power. I'd rather not have that. So currently, USB-C is not practical, the only advantage is its sturdier.

Just to say it.
For one that lives in the UK your English is terrible.
 

Commas, period and other sentence structure goes a loooong ways.

"damages done" = extremely sensitive robotic manufacturing components misaligned by earthquake
 
solution = bring in engineers to realign the components for the chips to continue manufacturing
 
not that big of a deal tbh, its not like the roof collapsed

It is cool to say you hit 5ghz. Not that it will be cool, but it's cool. 

Ok, so how do I put this? I won't buy something just because it has a good review. In cases where I look at reviews, such as when buying peripherals, I only want to know the downsides. To me, lack of bad reviews is far more important than having a ton of good reviews. As an example, when I started looking for a new mouse, I didn't buy the SteelSeries Rival because there were plenty of people who had issues with the rubber grips. I didn't buy Func MS-3 because some people had issues with the firmware. I also did not buy a Logitech G502 because I don't like the shell on it.
 
The thing with reviews is that most of them are ridiculously subjective. Some people hate Zowie mice because of the stiffer Huano switches, whereas I really like them. While this is a difference in preferences, a less-knowledgeable reviewer might say something like "The buttons on the mouse are very stiff", which sounds like a design flaw, rather than a conscious choice by the manufacturer.
 
Lastly, I do not frown on good reviews. I'm not going to ignore a product just because it has a lot of good reviews. I just think that people put far too much weight on reviews. You have game developers who get paid extra if they pass a certain score in Metacritic. You have people who only buy games if they have high Metacritic scores.
 
In the aforementioned context, saying "This is a good keyboard" doesn't tell me anything of value. What makes it a good keyboard? Would you say that it's a good keyboard because it's not broken?

Some people just have faces that are irresistibly punchable

Nice clickbait title.

The way this post is written makes me feel like I'm reading the ramblings of a crazy person

This click bait title literally had me laughing
 
Want to figure out how to make your internet faster/lose weight?  Use this one weird trick with a hooker and a dog!

I agree, untill we see evidence microsoft are doing this in a malicious manner, or accessing data they shouldnt then everyone is just being paranoid 
 
Gathering data is not necessarily bad, as long as its anonymous data used to improve service, catch bugs etc etc wihch is the whole idea

I dont think Microsoft are downloading photos of your family, stealing your credit card, and selling your skype username to hackers,
 

They really are not

because that is a completely different and out of date operating system that has nowhere near the features of W10, it didnt have Cortana that needs voice data, it didnt have the app store, etc etc etc
 
Is it amazing? I honestly don't care, of course those services will not stop your OS working, they are just telemetry data, not important files, but equally this data does not seem to put anyone at risk.. so really who cares
 
As far as I am away, even if they are spying, its all anonymous data, therefore your privacy and security are not at risk, since the data is basically useless to anybody else if intercepted

I would however I don't want you messing with my skyrim mods. The installation order took me 3 days to figure out.

Pretty sure we all trust Microsoft more than your files. 

I don't understand why people think that our individual data is being looked at, no company on the planet has the man-power to individually sort through each one of our data pools and categorize us like people make it seem.
 
The only thing they're doing is looking at the big picture, like out of 600 million people, how many of them had their PC on more than 4 hours a day, etc.
It's DEFINITELY not like "how many times did Lays log into LTT today?"  There just simply isn't the manpower to sort through billions of people worth of data.
