My Thoughts:
It's about time that online marketplaces got regulated like real marketplaces. Fake versions of products are all over eBay, Wish, and other marketplaces. While I can definitely see this bill going overboard if not worded correctly, I'm definitely all for it.

In case anyone needed a reminder that corporations - all of them - not only don't give a fuck about human rights but actively encourage abuse.

I'm not that surprised and I hate that I'm not.

It's a start, they will eventually parse down the code

Using the near infinite calculating power of parallel computing to defeat the near infinite reproductive and mutation potential of harmful bacteria. Cool. 

thats what we call
The FUTURE!

I'd settle for stopping ISPs from buying laws to keep out the competition first.

I also, in addition to the above, would like you to tell me what magic paradise came rolling out from ISPs who claimed up down left right and center that as soon as NN was gone they would be free to invest more in infrastructure. You also fail to realize that about a dozen or more states have tried or have passed their own version of Net Neutrality. After NN was repealed no ISP started investing more and many have started to invest LESS, which is the opposite of what they claimed would happen.

"I'm so proud to argue against my own self interest"

You act like the battle is over when the FCC is being forced to reconsider their NN repeal and rehear arguments WITHOUT stuffing the ballot box so to speak. You also seem to think that everyone was saying that day 1 ISPs were going to magically start being evil again. They are going to slowly work their bullcrap back into the system over time so consumers don't get shocked at the crap they are pulling until it's too late.

Nice to see that they dealt with it better than slickwraps.

Please please please also make this a thing for laptop, EU!
and I don't mean 'the battery is removable using weird screws, you have to bathe it in warm water to unstick the battery .. etc. etc.', I would love normal removable replacable batteries again!
 
The downside to a removable battery on a phone is less water resistance of course, not sure how much I care about that as compared to an easily removable battery.

It's fair to say I have been frustrated to death with having to baby Lithuim batteries to make them last longer to avoid annoying repairs, so this sounds good to me.
 
While back in the old days the occasionally squeaky battery covers were a bit annoying, in my opinion having the easy option to replace the batteries was worth it. One can argue that this might make phones thicker (not that I care) or maybe make it easier to fishy batteries to get used,  but I do feel like reducing waste and increasing convenience is well worth it.

One could only hope for robust international privacy regulations..

I do hope we can get privacy regulations as robust as GDPR here in the States.

Got good deal for 1650 super, so I took it

That's near impossible, this board is that bad
 
that VRM temperature would be awful

For me, the speed wouldn't matter. I can plug a cable to my phone and charge from the wall-charger, if need be, but it'd be nice to be able to just slap the phone down on my desk and have it slowly charge while I'm doing something on my PC, all the while being able to quickly pick it up and start pacing around if I receive a call or have to go do something else.

Still punching holes in their screen, I see. I guess my 5t survives for another year

$800 for a phone with no wireless charging?
 
Oneplus can go eat a dick if thats true.

RX 580 = GTX 1650 Super > RX 570 > GTX 1650
 
So what you get really depends on local prices and availability, but they're all fairly good except GTX 1650. GTX 1650 is trash.
 
You could also look at used RX 470/570 or RX 480/580.

Why not the 1650 Super? It's a little faster than the 580 and significantly faster than the 570. 4GB VRAM sucks for sure, but not like a 570 is ever likely to run games well that need 6-8GB anyways.
