    The best way to deal with this is to pre empt it by garnering trust. Transparency. Regular watchers know because we've seen it. Such as here

    It's typical of the butterfly effect. A throwaway (or not) accusation can have a huge erosion of trust in the audience. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_effect

    I would suggest the route to legal action is find out who he works for given his apparent knowledge of 'paying for a booth appearance'

    If it delays me upgrading for a snake oil salesman promising a product that doesn't exist. Yeah.

    Given the laws in the USA that Linus has in the past commented about the need to disclose paid sponsorships which 'paying for a booth visit video' would potentially come under. Provided such was disclosed I have no problem with it. Linus has endlessly commented about where LMG revenues come from. I see 'PAID SPONSORSHIP' and the like in his YouTube videos straight off the bat. Where they are. I seriously doubt these accusations are true against Linus in particular. For starters. Gamers Nexus too I doubt also.

    The intro comments have everything to do with it. Intel have taken a massive credibility hit. In my eyes. And many others.

    I did laugh at the intro... It's us. But it's like this. How can we take seriously anything Intel announces? Given their shredded credibility? Are Intel lying about this? Are they lying about the 8 core 8700k?

    If you don't have a problem with Intel masquerading a US$10,000 Xeon processor as a new chip to fool consumers that its a new chip about to be released, then obviously there is no hope for you.

    I know what the difference is between 'a concept' and a 'product advertisement'. This isn't normal. Its downright deceitful. As was indicated in the thread on Tuesday: Intel advertising by displaying a product that technically isn't what they claim it is. Hence why not sure I believe the 8-core 8700k claim.

    Listen, I'm in the market for a PC (CPU) upgrade later this year and I go for enthusiast parts. But the way Intel is behaving by demoing a Xeon chip as that clearly was not a new chip, then fail to mention it was overclocked suggests to me that I might need to take my money over to AMD. As frankly why would I was my money on a company/chipset that isn't as good as claimed or - worse isn't as claimed.

    Oh the usual 'blame the media' The genuine consumer media such as LTT and GamersNexus immediately cried BS, that what Intel was claiming was not the case. Don't do the blame the media track. Intel clearly mislead people. Knowingly. Media people in this industry have no benefit from misleading their readers. Whereas Intel clearly have a benefit. From those reporting directly at Computex - they were clearly misled. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-28-core-cpu-5ghz,37244.html

    It was misrepresented as a new CPU when it wasn't. It was reported like it was ambient. It wasn't. Its a misrepresentation. When the new CPU is nowhere near available whereas Threadripper 2 is virtually here. Its a lie to make people delay upgrading something that is not imminently going to be released by Intel. Its a shoddy business practice
  13. mark_cameron
    It clearly was faked - as GamersNexus and I believe LINUS TECH TIPS have stated and demonstrated, the motherboard was clearly not the correct board or chipset to achieve what it acheived without -10 degrees Celsius cooling. No consumer is going to get ambient temperature: 5 Ghz so it is a clear fake. Not only that it was a previous generation canabalised Xeon CPU! Bear in mind I'm a Intel user myself. Don't want to bash Intel. But fake is fake. It was poor judgement and whomever in management at Intel approved this brought the company into disrepute and should be disciplined.

    No I couldn't. As i'd never buy Apple. I think people who do are asking for trouble.
  15. mark_cameron
    You're missing one important point. If I broke it. I could easily get it fixed.
  16. mark_cameron
    I am not able to fix that Apple Pro. I only have this piece of advice. Don't buy Apple. When you could buy a much better PC for the same ludicrous price.

    Do they do RGB rehab?

    Regulation isn't "government interference" Lack of regulation would mean my tv signal or worse yet ambulance and emergency service signals being interfered with. Yes the UK is one of the most congested islands in the world. From my rudimentary reading I could do what Linus did here in UK. But only in a specific area in a licence granted to me by Ofcom. Which i would likely need to prove does not impact any one else. I also could not use a fixed or permanent mounting. As of yet.

    I hope that Valve paid the security researcher a large bounty for protecting their customers. By notifying them properly.

    Blatant. Added to my 'Not interested' list on Steam Will stick with Rainbow 6 where there is narrative

    That's incorrect. As a European Union Regulation: It doesn't need to be put on a statute book or implemented in national law. Any differences is due to OTHER national laws and not the GDPR. Or where GDPR itself says national laws apply. Of which there will be few as the purpose of an EC/EU regulation is to harmonise in one action. Don't confuse DPD (Data Protection Directive) with GPDR. Which has just started and replaced DPD. A European Directive is different to a European Regulation. It requires member states to implement it and there are greater scope for national interest variations. A regulation does not. European Regulation becomes law automatically. Everywhere in EU/EEA. European Directives are less powerful than regulations. The old law that was technically in force up to 25th May when it was repealed. Was a directive. Regulations also overrides national law. It's harder to get a European Regulation in place. Politically and legally.

    From what I've seen and heard TotalBiscuit was totally right about over monetization of games. Making people pay for half completed games. Pay twice or thrice for simple add-ons that should of been in the base game. I agree. Totally. It's killing games. I got burned with Dawn of War III collectors edition. Disgrace of a game. Batman Arkham Knight. Bad port. Disgrace. Etc etc.
  24. mark_cameron
    That's outrageous. If a company sells a defective product it can't charge consumers for the privilege of repairing the defect. Basic European Consumer law says this. It's why I won't buy Apple.

    I would say you've already got this with 4G LTE and soon 5G microwave These are set frequencies reserved for high speed internet Check out some of these LTE routers https://www.amazon.co.uk/slp/lte-router/djrydx94bryh7k4
