CISC is all about doing more in a single instruction. That means more in a single thread... (there are 0 instructions on x86-64 cpus that can use more than one thread to execute)  that has nothing at all to do with mutli-threaded workloads, in fact it has an active downside to multithreaded workloads (see my above comment) for this reason applications were taks can be multithreaded do not even make use of CISC like instructions on x86 cpus due to the downside that these have both on power but also on memory can cache eviction.

Your argument might have some ground if you change it to talk about single threaded tasks but in the multi threaded space there is not CISC advantage at all.

No. Not happening.
 
I did a similar thing, though I spent something like ~$600 on a wheel + pedals + shifter. Outside the general movements of shifting, it's a terrible method to try and actually learn to drive a car. At least a manual car. There is basically zero realistic clutch feel or simulation in pretty much every sim game. Project Cars 2 and BeamNG.Drive are the most realistic for clutch, but without clutch feel it's a pretty moot point. You can't really do a smooth city driving start in any of these games, it almost always results in a stall. In a number of cases the sim doesn't even actually stall and the RPM just drops to zero.
 
I legitimately learned bad driving/shifting habits from getting a wheel first like slamming gears into place and dropping the clutch. Very rough shifting and it took a few months to learn it proper. After you know how to actually drive a car the sim can start to complement it. It's also harder to know the limits of the car since you have limited vision and can't freely look around.
 
If you intend on driving an automatic (and they let you test with one) it's laughably easy. Best I can recommend is finding out what the driving test requires and go down with a parent or someone to an empty park or parking lot with plastic trash cans for obstacles. Hell, do the same with a manual if that's required.

No. You spend 150 to 200 more and get a used Aeron.

Some new paste and you’re off to the races. 

you may benefit from fresh thermal paste, especially if the card hasn't been taken apart before

Maybe not exactly at your price point, but I've found that the RedDragon keyboards are decent bang for your buck keyboards at a lower price. I just dont know what that would be in your currency, sorry.

I would highly suggest getting a Herman Miller, if you can. *very* expensive but they last much longer than the gaming chairs. I’m 6’4” and I have the big Vertagear gaming chair. It’s been 2 years and the thing looks ragged. Herman Miller can be bought used after 10 years of use and still have plenty of life left. 

Herman Miller Aeron is the correct answer.  Make sure you get the size C.

Summary:
A few months ago, I reported that Texas Instruments had removed ASM programming support from the TI-84 Plus CE and TI-83 Premium CE in the latest OS. Despite the overwhelmingly negative feedback TI received from consumers, ASM was not brought back officially. Instead, developers behind the YvanTT account posted on Cemetech the very first jailbreak that will allow users on the latest OS 5.6.0 to run ASM programs and games!
 
The jailbreak is called arTIfiCE and the instructions for how to install and run the exploit are explained on the arTIfiCE website. It relies on an exploit found in the Cabri Jr. app to allow ASM programs to be run. Unfortunately, you can only run ASM programs through the Cabri Jr. app becuase the [prgm] menu will still mark the files as invalid. Cabri Jr. is very slow and unintuitive but fortunately there's a solution for that! If you install a shell called Cesium, you can easily run any ASM game. Cesium has a ton of features like RAM backups (so if a game crashes no data is lost) and a quick launch key combination!
 
For those who accidentally upgraded to OS 5.6.0 and want to go back to an older OS, you can! Be aware that if you have a Python Edition calculator, then I do not recommend downgrading because it will break Python capabilities. If you just use Cesium to run your programs you'll get both Python and ASM programming! If you're not someone with a Python Edition, then I have a tutorial you can follow once you jailbreak the calculator here.
 
I'm super stoked that the community was able to hack ASM back in within a few months of TI removing it. Like I said in my original report, the TI-84 Plus CE was never a secure device and apparently TI needed the community to prove that to them. I have add a warning: just because this works in OS 5.6.0 doesn't mean it will work in a future OS like OS 5.6.1 or higher. Therefor it's imperative you do not update your calculator even if a new update is released. And most definitely never update Cabri Jr. because the jailbreak relies on it!
 
Thank you very much to YvanTT who simply states that they're "fighting for the freedom of peaceful assembly." Happy programming!

Maybe I’ll be able to buy a 1080ti then

SLC/MLC/TLC/QLC isn't doubling, it's exponential.
1000/100/10/1 write ratio.
 
So 1 bit per cell, gets 1 million write endurance, MLC gets 100,000, TLC gets 10,000, and QLC gets 1000. Also the performance flies off a cliff with TLC and QLC
 
https://venturebeat.com/2019/12/06/tlc-vs-qlc-nand-pick-the-best-memory-technology-for-your-application/
 

 
From a logical point of view, 8-bits-per-cell will likely be where it stops, if only because that's the most efficient way to store whole bytes. However the performance does not scale this way.

 
SLC and MLC not even on the diagram. I don't think any manufacturer will be making SLC or MLC for consumers in the future either, just data center drives on full size PCIe cards. QLC might offer cheap storage, but it's cheap in the context of what you might use in a digital camera, where you only use the cards a few times. A QLC boot drive will probably not be the best use case on a small drive.
 
So the reason we keep seeing these capacities , 250GB, 500GB and 1TB and not smaller ones is because TLC is not a good fit for smaller drives, but may be just fine as long as the drive is large enough and the consumer doesn't live out of the last 20% of the drive. If you can keep a SSD less than half full at all time, it will last a very long time. Heck, the "defragment" tool on Windows serves an entirely different purpose for a SSD, in which to cycle the wear leveling (which it does once a month.) That itself might cause more wear to the drive, but also might make the ultimate lifespan of the drive longer by making the wear leveling more even rather than constrained to a small portion of the drive capacity where you keep erasing and writing files to. (eg Internet cache, temp files, etc)
 
And as we've seen, QLC kinda sucks.

 
Anyway. My opinion on Samsung is a bit all over the place, I don't doubt they make good drives, but I seriously question the drive performance will be maintained over the life of the drive, and experience suggests the drives get slower the more they are filled (see above graph) and it's always a tradeoff between drive latency and peak read/write performance.
For example, this drive is a PCIe 3D TLC drive:
https://www.anandtech.com/show/16012/the-sk-hynix-gold-p31-ssd-review
 
The 1TB model has twice the TLC performance of the 500GB drive. I reasonably suspect the same is true of all manufacturer's using the same scheme. So the reason we likely don't see 2TB drives in M2 form factors is probably because they can't physically fit more chips on the 2280's used for laptops. I've also not seen any engineering laptop come with a 2TB NVMe drive yet either.

Unless the computer is critical to work, school, etc than I would argue that you never need it “now”. Even then you can afford to take half an hour to research because if a system is “mission critical” than you should really be making sure everything you put in it will work well.

Some memory and an SSD won't pull 97W. In fact, they won't pull even a quarter of that.
And this is why people always recommend steering clear of "PSU CaLcUlAtOrS".

Just reprogram your TTS system to replace "burger king" with "mcdonalds" and "whopper" with "big mac". That'll stop them real quick.

You do not want to cheap out on the power supply. It's the singular thing you should never skimp out on. It powers your whole PC, so if you get a bad unit, it can short out and can easily destroy your whole system.
 
I wouldn't spend less than $60 on a PSU and always go for no less than a 80 Plus Bronze rated model. A 550-watt option will be plenty for the 390.

It's in the same ball park as an RX 480 when it comes to gaming performance. If you've got the PSU to run it, it's not a bad card by any means.

The thing is that they will use the data anyway because of the bullshit fines imposed on giant companies who break the law. You literally just build those fines into the bottom line as a normal business expense.

I miss the holographic "wafer" in a lot of the old Intel processor stickers. Though it's kinda cheesy given today's design language.

I’d say an interesting thing to buy if most mobile games weren’t trash ( loot boxes , aggressive pay to win , advertisements and more )
 
the problem for me would not be the device but the games
 
theoretically it has the potential to be a somewhat own small product class : phone and mobile game console hybrid: has the mobility of a switch and can still do everything a normal smartphone can do 

I use DroidCam on iOS/Windows. Works great and is simple and easy to use. Not sure what else you would want. The only issue is that my rotation seems locked. So my phone has to be sitting a particular way, which makes managing the USB cable more cumbersome. You can also just use it wirelessly though.
 

It's also worth noting as well that these days ABS is scarcely, if ever, seen in isolation. Even cars at the bottom end of the price spectrum incorporate dynamic brake force distribution which a human can't do with their right (or left) foot unless they've got a brake bias valve to madly twiddle with one hand that should definitely be on the wheel. Then you have all the other functions that work off the same slip sensors like traction and stability control to factor in.

The idea is to be able to brake effectively on your own, but braking on a track where you know where you're going to start braking, where the surface is clean and uniform and you are calm is very different to a child or an animal jumping in front of you. What ABS achieves is just to make that when someone panics and smashes the pedal (as they will) the car doesn't just lock up and slide. Having ABS doesn't mean you always smash the pedal, and it doesn't make you a bad driver. I don't see why you have an issue with a safety feature which doesn't affect people who are braking properly already.

Not long ago, Intel came under fire for some internal documents relating to marketing materials that were very misleading. Previously, some slides regarding statistics such as "60% of games rely on single threads" or something along those lines, along with some cherry picked games for performance benchmarks (along with questionable methodology) lead Intel to backpedal on their marketing stance after lots of negative press. However, after Intel told the world that "features are more important" (gamer's Nexus covered this as well,) they seem to be at it again with some new "data."
Yep, Intel says that their products stack up against the higher core count AMD counter parts. 
 
Trigger warning: cringe
 
In an ironic twist, Intel claims that the marketing for AMD's product segment is not representative of their real competitive performance. On top of that:
Unfortunately that's par for the course these days, but the level to which Intel brazenly qualifies the fact that it's cheating is pretty embarrassing.
This is just sad. From any reviewer, we actually saw that this laptop Ryzen 9 CPU can put desktop i7 models to shame. I sincerely hope Intel is not drinking the Userbenchmark Kool aid
 

^
Let's not forget this drivel that secures Memebenchmark's spot squarely in the nearest dumpster.
 
Closing thoughts:
I desperately hope that a similar marketing piece does not turn up from AMD. It's embarrassing and hurts the brand name. While I don't feel particularly fond of either company, since they are impartial corporations solely out for profit, it just hurts to read this stuff. It comes off as arrogant and self aggrandizing, which a brand is required to do somewhat, but this is too much.

I think it's hilarious that we honest-to-god have to worry about Blu-ray drives and fridges bricking themselves through a software update. 

My gtx 1070 ran stock at 1835. And 2050mhz OC-ed with a manual curve. I think it was worth a few hours of testing to get 10% more out of it. But I understand the fear. If you don't know how it's done and how it works, it's completely valid to be afraid to do it
