    ingelberts got a reaction from okkee in Genuinly terrible search results on Google lately?   
    Has anyone else noticed some genuinely bad results on the first page of google searches lately?
    These results link to websites that are at the very least not very reputable and -one could reasonably assume- malicious.
    Also, the highlighted text has very little to do with the original query.
    The first obviously garbage result on the screenshot I took as an example is the 4th one down on the 1st page...
    This has been happening with just about every search query lately and I don't think the queries themselves are that outlandish not to reasonably produce any relevant results.
    In fact, Bing produces page after page of relatively useful links, no garbage to be seen until I hit at least page 5.
    What is google playing at?
     
    I am running a couple tracking blockers and an adblock (disconnect, decentraleyes & ublock origin) but disabling them doesn't seem to change anything at all.
    Also have most if not all tracking and history related settings disabled on my google account.
    Don't think its malware injecting bogus results, I've replicated this on various devices & networks, including one brand new PC with an entirely clean windows install.
     
    Was just wondering if anyone else has been noticing a similarly subpar experience?
    I feel like if this continues they could be jeopardizing their dominance in search.
    Granted, its not their main money-maker anymore (if it ever was), but I would think it is still an important gateway to services that are...

    Thanks man! I'm actually aiming for 1440p ultra wide -once I can afford one- which I think this setup should be able to push at a decent frame rate.
     
    In that case I do agree the slight bump in efficiency doesn't really justify the 30% price difference. And the Corsair RM650x you recommended is 10% cheaper still so I guess thats where its at for the PSU.
    Thanks so much for your help, really appreciate it.
    Yeah I'm all about the TKL boards, which actually seems a little ironic given I'm an accountant by profession. There's just something weirdly sexy about those short little boards. 
    I'll definitely show off the final product! Might be a while though, I take quite a long time deciding on things if you hadn't noticed.

    OK I'm gonna trust you on this, did a bit of creeping through your post history and you really seem to know what you're talking about, especially when it comes to PSUs.
    Thanks again for the feedback man!
