Oh you haven’t met FutureMotion… if you replace the tire on your OneWheel and mail it to them for warranty service (I think it’s $80 each way) they’ll take the third party tire off and put a stock one back on and then complete your warranty service. Most users of these devices just forget about the warranty after the first few hundred miles and take them to third party repair shops. they’re not keen on the product they’ve created having a flourishing mod community around it. these batteries used to work without the need of a chip, FutureMotion released firmware updates that bricked any customers existing batteries functionality. The boards still worked but they made it so that the the controller reads amp hours and once it reads the number of amp hours that a stock battery has it shuts off, doesn’t matter if there’s 2 times the amount available left… just shuts off

https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/04/16/sony-reveals-next-gen-playstation-details not the best source but still, whether you’re a pc enthusiast or a console player this is pretty great news. Says the Navi gpu will support ray tracing. also looks like this should be backwards compatible.

I mean thats obviously a problem, but retailers that aren't second hand shops aren't going to be affixing these stickers to a product... Research and try not to buy second hand unless its a part you can verify prior to giving them the cash. Plus you can file complaints with amazon/paypal/ebay etc if you get a product that isn't as advertised.

its stable, but there's some weirdness since they removed some of the shortcuts like the control panel being in right click on start and changed some of the settings to be removed from control panel entirely and only exist in settings. But in terms of having to fix things? Nah, thing is rock solid in my experience, had it for about a month.

probably, but its so worth it

Sure its workstation hardware. But the thing is the average professional user that wants to do content creation (photographers, designers, editors, etc) wants displays without the glass to combat glare and then on top of that the iMac's 5K display supports something like 78% of the Adobe RGB spectrum? Good luck with that. SSDs continue to go down in price so its not really a concern when pricing out a machine. ECC memory? WHY? The average user, professional or not, will be just fine with standard ram. 10Gb NICs aren't exceptionally expensive either, not to mention that if they give a shit about using it, then they have majority of data stored on a network location, so SSDs aren't going to need to be at the massive capacities that the iMac Pro is touting. Vega cards? No clue on pricing yet, but much like the video Linus did regarding the r9 in the iMac these cards get throttled quite often due to heat. The iMac has never been stellar at cooling. Do I think this new machine will do better at cooling due to the all solid state architecture and 2 fans? Yes. Will it be as good as a standalone card with its own cooling solution or a liquid solution? No way. My biggest problem with the iMac Pro is that its just this weird stopgap while Apple figures out the actual Mac Pro and its also horribly non-serviceable by the user. I don't think the studio is a good machine either.

Exactly, if threadripper beats intel's pricing by a large margin and still maintains a large percentage of the performance its per dollar performance will be much higher and therefore a better buy. The asus ROG boards are like RGB madness one of them even has a physical fan on the chipset heatsink.

SLI two titan X's and get a double socket x299 board with two of them i5s you got yourself a system

hence optane... they don't see average users swapping any parts outside of adding sticks to a computer.

bad value? Thats called just being stupid on intels part because the didn't wanna leave the i5 out of the party. Oh and by including the i5 in the X lineup they just made the whole processor sku system even more of a damn nightmare. I guarantee some of the really high end (with what looks like boat loads of RGB) x299 mobos will be on par with the price of the i5 X if not more. Talk about stupid.

that i57640X seems really really silly.

intel x series "the l3 cache is ribbed for your pleasure"

but what if I want to build a 14 gamers 1 PC rig

What I read on Anandtech http://www.anandtech.com/show/11464/intel-announces-skylakex-bringing-18core-hcc-silicon-to-consumers-for-1999 was 2000 for the 18 core variant and 999 for the 10 core so roughly 100 per core? Seems about right but one might be curious to see if these are just rebranded xeons

I see a Holy $h!t episode in our future haha
