Well, sometimes it depressed me just to log in and see bs everywhere. The weird thing is that since I completly deleted it, I am less stressed though I did not even used it regulary, nor had I used the app.
 
And sure you can delete your acc entirely: https://www.facebook.com/help/224562897555674?helpref=faq_content
 
Instant-Edit: @Lacrimas was faster.

Well the hardware is not actually bad, it is more customised for the main use of the systems. A PC is more of an universal tool.
 
Sure, standards will bring down prices, but then again there is the danger of monopolies.
 
And tbh, if PC parts would get that much cheaper, I would personally be bored . I like to go to work and save up money for this hobby, plus you are more attached to the hardware if you worked hard for it. Else there would be the "Smartphone mentality" buy a "cheap" 150 bucks one, throw it away and so on. Not very environmental friendly.
 
There are already standards, like PCIe, S-ATA, NVME, ATX/ITX/etc., CPU sockets, RAM-Slots, USB/Thunderbolt. So you can choose from many things to suit your needs, therefore a "standard PC" seems a little bit unlikely.
 

Once I tried to delete an EA Origin account I never used. Tried it for 3 months in Firefox and Chrome with all plugins disabled, even made resets to access the EA Live Chat Support, never worked. Last October I tried Edge, it did not work. Tried IE, GOD BARN YOU, I was raging, it worked.

I saw that there are guides for choosing your storage device and a guide for Mechanical HD, but there wasn't anything dedicated to SSDs, so I've decided to do a guide, with some myths, tips and general info about most common SSDs. This took a long time to wrote, so I hope you can learn something. The guide for what SSD should you buy it's not complete (because I don't want to dedicate my life to write about SSDs, since it takes a lot of time), you can help me by doing the same as I did with other SSDs (using the official datasheets) then I'll edit and give credits to you. Please inform me about any errors, missing information and other stuff, credits will be given to anyone that helps.

UPDATE: Bandsaw wasn't a good idea so i made a hole and filed away the icon, its not as clean as i would've liked but either way the project was a success. I had to drill a wide hole in 3 layers of the aluminium because of uneven lighting so adding a circle shape of leds helped. 

Maybe we grow up? Or is it about that white pixel in many videos recently where I thought all my devices do ave a pixel error? Like the latest Tech Showdown Episode?
I mean yeah, cameras are expensive, but the heart attack everytime is real.
 
They need content to gain views and ad revenue. And audience ofc, so nothing new or wrong. But yes, somehow the content started to be more professional, but does not really reach the type of detail in work and motivation it did, in the old content before and and shortly after the move. It kinda seems now like "without a soul". Might be the pressure a business brings with it, I mean he has to feed his family and and maintain his living standard while paying how many employees? 10+? I even lost track
 
Well, though I still like most of the content, It seems to be replacable by other YouTubers. Welcome to the mainstream, which ist totally fine, because who would sell a product, that is not sellable.

Also, samsung has a MUCH LARGER market share in the SSD space. I am not arguing for or against, I am just saying they make incredibly affordable SSD's that seem to deliver. I have lots of em, and have had 0 issues. 

I wont order them in greece cause the prices are too damn high. Aachen is one of the best in europe and i did study to get thet 1.7 in Abitur to get there. Anyway, thanks for replying and for the kind words
Ive been to germany twice Dresden and Berlin, and to tell you the truth, i do like the cloudy kinda cold weather, even more when i get used to it after couple of days 

From my engineering studies, the phone that charges with 1A will draw 1A from both the 1 and 2.1A ports, no more because that's all the device will suck up. This is assuming the correct voltage of course.

tl;dr
Intel: We have too much inventory.
AMD: How do you make a CPU again?

I agree - if Zen is late, it'll be because of supply, manufacturing, or engineering reasons. But I don't believe it.
No worries Unless they make it against forum rules to post rumour articles, these are totally legit to post (And frankly, I doubt that'll ever happen, otherwise we'll have nothing to talk about for 6 months of the year lol)

Well, at least in my case I did not experience any issues with installing Windows 10 on my SSD and keep all the Steam files on the HDD.

They tend to last longer before failure.
 
This is due to how SSDs behave. SSDs are limited by the amount of times you can write over the same storage space. This is a limitation of flash chips.
 
The more times it is written to, the slower it will be (which is to say that this process is gradual and mostly negligible) until it stops working entirely. 
 
 
HDDs are also more reliable because you'll have plenty of advanced warning. it might show the problem in a different way e.g. Noise or high temperature. So you can catch the problem early on and buy a new HDD to replace old.

For the future: At least here in Germany you can buy 99% isoprop. alcohol in pharmacies. 100ml cost usually about 1-3 Euro depending where you buy it.

It is overclocking I guess. It uses 104% Power, means that there is an extra 4% power draw so, the voltage gets higher as current stays the same. I guess it is auto-overclocking.

You being unlucky. A single product does not mean a company is bad.

Depends on the budget and pricing. There is no real world difference between 1333MHz Ram or 2133MHz. Sure if they are nearly the same price go for the higher one, else it does not matter.

Literally.

Burn.

Well it runs very smooth, even in 2x and 3x, but sometimes if you change into 3x it has to think a short moment. After that it runs smooth aswell.
In 1x speed it will run very smooth, do not worry. The i5-4690 is the second highest i5 in Intels Haswell lineup only topped by the 4690K.

Your reasoning is good, less resistance = less heat, you misunderstood the math a little, its I (squared [I^2]) times resistance (R), not I times 2xR

Yo are refeering to Point of Sale Embedded XP. Which then is used for
ATMs or cashing systems. You just can not get banks to change their hardware every few years or even major retailers.

Yup, Everything went just fine, The best way to learn is to fail as i have shown time and time again 

Maye the "spirit" of electricity came into to you, when all of this happened
 
 
Lucky, that things went quite okay, I guess?

Yes, you could, and some systems are designed like this. Car batteries for example operate at 12 V, but deliver several hundred or even 1000+ amps very briefly to crank the engine. Since they only operate at 12 V DC though, you are completely safe from electrocution if you were to touch the terminals of the battery with your hands. Through the low resistance of the car's electrical system, the battery might be able to generate huge amounts of current, but such a low voltage won't send more than a few milliamps through something with high resistance to DC like your body, so touching the terminals of a car battery is totally safe (although there are other dangers besides electrocution associated with something that can deliver that much current, like if there is a direct short with something metal like a tool).
 
But resistance is higher over a longer wire distance as well as through thinner wire, which is why jump-start cables for your car should not be any longer than necessary, and cheaper thin cables often won't work, because the resistance of long wires or thin wires is higher, and at 12 V they may not allow enough current to jump start cars, especially larger ones like trucks. So, if you wanted to design something to carry power over a much longer distance than the internal systems of a car, for example power lines, and you wanted them to operate at 12 V so they would be completely safe, you would need either impossibly thick wires, or you need to find a material that is basically a room-temperature superconductor (ultra-low resistance), which if you can find a material like that, there is a Nobel prize waiting for you. This is why power lines operate at tens or hundreds of thousands volts, even though this poses significant danger of electrocution to people (among other reasons, such as efficiency/losses at low voltages).
If you plug in a device to an outlet, you are creating a connection between the positive and negative terminals of the outlet, so current can return to ground (which it will do since ground is at a lower voltage than the power line). But in doing so, the electricity must flow through the device in order to get from the positive terminal of the outlet to the ground terminal. The device will have some components inside with some certain resistance, electricity passing through the resistance will dissipate power (in Watts) and that is utilized by the device for operation.
 
The rate at which electricity returns to ground (the current) depends on the resistance of the device, through the formula V = I * R. Voltage is held constant at 120 V (or 230 V in Europe), so if resistance (R) of the device is lower, the current (I) generated will be higher, because the two numbers multiplied together still need to be equal to 120 or 230. So, a device provides a path to ground, a certain amount of electricity will flow through that path depending on the resistance of the device.
 
If you attach another device to another outlet, you are providing a second path for electricity to return to ground. Electricity will also flow through that path, and power that device, in addition to flowing through the other path. Again, voltage is still held constant on the power line at 120 V, so some certain current will flow through the second device to ground, depending on the resistance of the device.
 
So, the total effect is that more current is flowing. Even though you have more devices, so more total resistance being connected, the results depend on how you connect them. If you connect multiple resistors in a row, the resistance stacks up and the total current will be less. But if each resistor provides a separate path to ground, each path can carry an additional amount of current without affecting the current flowing through the other resistors. The more you connect, the more total current will flow.
 
In a physics class, this would be studied as "connecting resistors in parallel". The formula for the "effective" resistance of multiple resistors in parallel (like if you just looked at the total current going into the house and came up with one big "resistance" figure for the entire house) is
 
Reffective = 1 / (1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + ...)
 
And indeed, if you do a little algebra you can prove that the total "effective" resistance of multiple resistors in parallel will always be lower than any individual resistor in the circuit, so with more devices connected, the resistance of "the house" will be lower and more current will flow through the house. Which makes sense; with more resistors creating more paths, more total current will be flowing than there would be if that one resistor was the only path to ground.
 
Heat is a form of power, so that can be expressed in Watts, and also can be determined from the power equation, P = I * V.
 
Since V = I * R, you can use (I * R) instead of V in the power equation:
P = I * V is equivalent to:
P = I * (I * R), or
P = I * I * R, or
P = I2 * R
 
Which is not the same as P = I2R
 
With P = I2 * R:
2A2 * 120 Ω = 4 * 120 = 480 W
 
40A2 * 0.3 Ω = 1600 * 0.3 = 480 W
 
So, everything checks out
 
This confusion, by the way, is why everyone here really should take advantage of the superscript/subscript formatting buttons built into the forum rather than the up-arrow (^) symbol:
