    MODERATORS Those original sources don't confirm this is water cooling. CAN WE PLEASE make sure that spurious claims are not posted all over the forum? This is deliberately misleading advertising and click bait. Can people also at least make the claims from reputable sources.

    Under NITROGEN OR REFRIGERATION Pure click bait. INFRACTION! 10 POINTS

    Depending on country That could classed as false advertising

    I WANT TO SEE BENCHMARKS. Before I open my wallet. Not Nvidia's figures.

    Looks like Linus is going to need truck loads of Canadian Rubles.

    Its a cost rise of 25% from what I can see for the tier 1 - premier card. To what it was from 2015. Inflation per se, doesn't explain a 25% price increase.

    I'm thinking of upgrading. If I got x2 RTX 2080 Ti for GB £1560 which is what appears to be the pricing reported. This would compare to what I paid for my current x2 Asus GTX 980 Ti STRIX via SLI 8 July 2015: (pre-order) £584.08 10 February 2016 (for new build in June 2016) £599.99 There is a clear 'CRYPTO MINERS TAX' being implemented here. Isn't there ? Burn those miners. With dragon fire.

    How long until they make the ads non skipable?

    It's them trying to have their cake. Raising subscription prices. Then eat it. Get commercial revenues. It is annoying.

    When is the Casino Royale vulnerability going to be found? Or maybe View to a Kill? Or Thunderball ?

    This is nonsense. In order to put on the market in Europe: Apple has a legal entity registered in Ireland. The EU could force close that entity and stop all Apple sales in Europe. By prohibiting any Apple entities opening elsewhere in Europe. Plus sale of products. Apple won't do this as their executive aren't stupid. Apple is already in trouble with the EU and had to pay €13 BILLION (US $18 BILLION) for taxes it claimed were not due but were deemed illegal Ireland state aid. The bills will just mount up for Apple. It will be cheaper if they just cooperate. Better for Apple shareholders who executives DO ANSWER TO. The EU has the tech giant's in its sights. For tax evasion and consumer over charging and anti competitive practices. https://www.irishtimes.com/business/technology/apple-still-owes-state-5bn-in-back-taxes-1.3584220

    No. This isn't America. Apple can be fined substantially. It's come from Apple over charging consumers for its products.
  14. mark_cameron
    As a point of context. The competition regulators would not try and enforce a standard In this way Unless they can prove that consumers are being over charged for something they should not be. It suggests the EU commission has evidence of Apple overcharging consumers directly when an industry standard port type is already available at a much lower cost. They've probably identified price inflexibility and price fixing. In some form. As that regulator has no power to enforce standards otherwise.

    It's going to retrial. That's not acquittal. He's going to face justice. The press also have a code not to report in a way that predjuices the trial whilst it is active. Or they will face contempt of court. Contempt of court is a very serious offence in the UK. That's all I have to say.

    That suggests computational investor correction via ATS. If it is so regular.

    Markets are cyclical. Intel has had little competition for years. Companies can often get lazy and complacent. Now some genuine competition is emerging in the short term some rocky times ahead for Intel. But in the medium to long term? If they reorganize and focus on ensuring short term loss is mitigated by medium term gain plus boosting competitiveness they shouldn't worry. What they need to do is get competent leadership in. Noting the CEO recently left due to code of conduct breach. Only if they don't get decent leadership in and don't reorganize is there going to be huge issues.

    Yes. His post confirms what an utter mess things are when Americans can't even get basic facts right. Plus how false narratives can be pushed (in America) by those with agendas. Frequently of specific political orientation. Disseminated with clear inaccuracies.

    Tommy Robinson was jailed as he commited a criminal act filming defendents/jurors outside of an ongoing criminal trial. Please don't claim Tommy Robinson is some sort of victim. He isn't. His jailing has been a long time coming. Nothing to do with this topic. Other than he committed contempt of court streaming film to facebook from outside a crown court. Thereby jeopardizing the trial.

    Why would I give someone the driving seat to my desktop when they can't even release updates that don't break my system? Where is the logic? Even more since it's drivers and custom software these updates are often breaking!
  21. mark_cameron
    As I previously said. Google uses its software to damage competitors in other markets. This is another illustration. Anti competitive behaviour.
  22. mark_cameron
    Nope. This is a US$3000+ paperweight As far as I'm concerned. All it is good for.
  23. mark_cameron
    That's nonsense. This is a hardware issue. People have already made software changes and still found throttling. You're paying for an i9 CPU But you're getting a dud. No software patches are going to change a faulty hardware design and lack of cooling. I also dismiss Apple's bench marks. They have used active cooling there. Like a water chiller. Or put the MacBook in a freezer.
  24. mark_cameron
    Name ONE computer that is more poorly designed than this US$3000 machine. One.
  25. mark_cameron
    Exactly. Intel didn't force them to put it into the Apple machine. It's a processor for thicker laptops with liquid or other advanced cooling. Apple are 100% to blame. This is one of the worst computers ever put on the market. Apple gets the award.
