Well firstly I didnt break it, was just a quote. Secondly as I said, it's nowhere near the new cost of the device unlike Apple who would rather push a customer into a new device than just repairing the perfectly usable old one. Does Apple say "well, you can just go out and buy a used phone for the same price as we're about to charge you"? No, they offer a refurb in exchange for a 6 (plus money) that they "can't repair", then refurb that and sell it on to some other unsuspecting fool.
 
Even if I did need a new screen, Android supports applications for a lot longer than Apple devices do.
 
I have a Galaxy S2 that still works fine and runs modern applications. Hate to break it to you, but you're talking crap again.

Glad my company uses teams....never thought I'd be glad to used a MS product over another.

this is what everyone wanted, they complained cable and DVDs and blu rays were too pricey. Well THIS IS the cost cables been paying, this IS what buying discs avoided. But when you demand convenience and kill other options well those guys who gave you the option you're using wont care anymore. Everyone things streaming is a cash cow and so they all want a piece. why I still buy discs for some things, and physical books.

And people wonder why google failed at fiber, spoiler it aint due to lack of lawyers. They just dont wanna do anything right. If it costs money to support and doesint make instant profit they dont wanna try it.

So to summarize Google tried out a new function causing many Citrix and similar VM systems to utterly fail at loading chrome pages. IT departments are furious that this was done without telling them.
 
 
 
This is concerning that Google apparently things making multi million dollar or larger company servers into test beds without consent. To my mind this should end in Google being fined very harshly and informed if any further instances occur it will be bankrupted and liquidated.
 
May sound harsh and I love free markets but this is playing with other company assets without permission and should be a fast track to bankruptcy. Googles apparently lack of ability to grasp that it is not used solely by windows and android users in desktop markets is staggering. The fact is any IT admin knows once you hit enterprise level things change drastically and single changes can throw entire sections out of whack if done in a ham fisted manner.
 
 
 
This is to me a dangerous president for them to go thorugh and it makes IT admins now have to question if they trust google in their high stakes equipment where stability is a MUST not just a nice feature in their system. I just find this to be very scary that Google apparently thinks there is nothing wrong with this behavior.

So I left Intel finally and built a brand new Ryzen 3000 rig.
 
Parts in use are as follows.
Ryzen 9 3900X
Asrock X470 Taichi Motherboard
Be Quiet Dark Rock 4 Cooler [non pro]
16GB [2x8] of G.skill Ripjaw V DDR4 3200mhz RAM with CAS of 14 [Samsung B die]
Boot Drive 970 evo NVME m.2 SSD
2tb WD gold HDD
GTX 1080 Super Clocked by EVGA [reused from last rig]
Corsair RM 850 Watt 80+ Gold PSU
Cooler Master H500 Mesh from Case
Screens 2x 1080 60hz 22inch monitors on side and central monitor is AOC Agon 24inch 1440P 144hz monitor.
Keyboard is a Corsair K55 and Mouse is a Corsair Harpoon RG
Speakers: 18inch Sound Bar
OS: Windows 10 Pro
 
Below are some along the way pics including some of the parts and besides the driver by Be Quiet I used the I fixit driver kit. 

@5x5 I am kinda on board with ya. I got my 3900X and love it. I never expected I'd regularly see 4.6ghz mostly cause few things are gonna use on a system ONLY one thread and lets remember background functions still run and COULD hit another thread. when I hoped for and GOT in spades was improved performance over my E3-1270vs ivy bridge xeon with 4c/8t and max of 3.9ghz [which I despite having better cooling than needed also NEVER got! I hit 3.81ghz but also all cores in use so meh] and guess what it is vastly superior to my ivy bride CPUs and it's great. My HAF 922 replaced by a H500 case with front mesh panel is comparatively dead fucking silent.  I think people are griping over something small. And AMD looks to be addressing it anyways. This feels like the 5ghz rumor pissing match that occured at launch.
 
For refrence my old rig used a Hyper 212 evo, my new rig uses a Dark Rock 4.

I managed to Snag my 3900X on Bestbuy during a weird string of availability at night. but yeah hard to find outside scalpers in the US here.

had some arctic silver cleaner get on my pins used iso 99% and soft tooth brush my 3900x works fine. Also used it when some thermal grizzly got on a pin on motherboard.

True to get larger projects done eventually decisions have to be made and groups can struggle. If nobody can have final say and votes end badly you end up with no progress.

This sums up my view.

You can buy some remaining WD Golds [what the Ultra star replaces] but there is not much difference besides the pricing scale shoots up fast.

Worse than even ALL the aforementioned ones I did read on this list, Cisco's LEO back-doors have already been found and used by hackers. It will happen the more we put in so we will see governments hacked MUCH easier and companies ruined for it. This is hilarious. They dont even recognize it'll happen but seem to assume ONLY they will know of them.

Lets remember they also run a clean room likely for sedative parts. This means they have to restart and ensure the airs dust free and continent free during this time. I;ve gotten to go inside once to a small fabs clean room long ago for production. They are VERY particular about what gets touched by what to ensure no damage to sensitive parts. Likely now they have to check any salvageable pieces or parts for continents that may now have ruined material.

Sounds like a episode of Sliders, you get hauled off if you try to pay in cash and not credit of some sort or a loan.
