  1. But that's the thing, the target audience for this product often already has a very capable cooling solution, be it aftermarket AIO or a custom loop and will do the kind of overclocking that a single fan radiator will be unable to deal with. To take your example if I sell product A at $999 and it includes a $80 product that i also have a $20 margin on. If I sell that same product at $919 without the added product I have the exact same profit at a lower price.
  2. Yes, and by reducing the cost of the product by whatever added expense they have with this AIO they keep the same profit as shipping it with it.
  3. Meh, I'd rather have them cut the price even further and let people buy better third party AIOs or use custom loops.
  4. I mean, that image you posted can be pretty much applied to the entire alt-right so if anything CNN was fighting fire with fire.
  5. Yes, because the iPhones never top performance charts and do a horrible job in production use cases /s
  6. That's why you use something like duplicati to make encrypted backups
  7. Any kind of ship control system isn't on a network you can plug something into. That's running on its own closed network(s)(It seems unlikely even things like navigation and flight operations are networked to each other). At best you'd be able to compromise the network for crewmembers when they are off duty and all that would accomplish is making their porn load slower. USB hot spots in general are no danger unless you know of some amazing wifi tech that doesn't have a horrible range like literally every hotspot I've ever worked with.
  8. The point something has a dedicated subforum on these very forums is when putting that info in the OP is no longer needed.
  9. Solid strategy honestly, and I'm fairly sure history will end up finding it the better one as it also makes the business more survivable should YouTube disappear or something similar.
  10. The private sector didn't remove lead from drinking water until governments made them, so yes I definitely will tell you how they are good.
  11. Do you enjoy not getting poisoned by your drinking water? That's government regulation.
  12. Considering Microsoft got hit hard for people not being able to pick their browser upon install a few years back, yes. As for Bing, Yahoo, etc, don't even kid yourself. Those aren't even close to competing with Google in the search engine domain.
  13. Doesn't matter, when you become large enough as a company anti-monopoly and anti-trust regulations kick in to keep the markets competitive.
  14. The difference is that neither Sony or Microsoft are the de facto standard for gaming, Google however is the basically undisputed master of search engines and thus pushing its own products hits competition in other sectors hard.
  15. Petrobras is about the same size as Alphabet Inc. actually. Beyond that, the EU has had this type of legislation for decades. It's still home to some of the largest conglomerates in the world and is generally considered a great area to start new companies, and American companies still keep opening branches in Europe and otherwise investing. Clearly those laws aren't killing business.
  16. Pointing out that a study was done by someone ideologically inclined or by an agency of an organization likewise doesn't automatically rule out objectivity. By all indications(both via research and recent electoral results) the EU is gaining in popularity.
  17. Here's an article showing the same based on research from a non-EU agency. Nice tinfoil hat btw. http://uk.mobile.reuters.com/article/idUKKBN1962WI
  18. The first part of that statement is likely a fact, the second is literally an opinion
  19. Yeah, EU courts already destroyed significantly less bad data logging laws. This isn't going to work anywhere beyond the UK.
  20. The work that went into making it isn't virtual.
