Every time I go to print it, you tell me you plan to change something
 
You 169% sure you're ready to print?

a class action lawsuit has already been filed because of this.

Up until a few days ago if you walked in to an Apple store and told them that you felt your iPhone 6s was feeling a bit sluggish and wasn't keeping up with your day to day tasks, the Apple store employees would not have known that Apple was throttling CPU on devices with older batteries and would not have known that a battery replacement would fix the customers issue. Instead of offering an actual solution to a known problem, they would have simply attempted to sell you a new model iPhone stating how much faster and more advanced it is than the older iPhone model.
 
Personally I don't think this wouldn't have blown up for Apple as it has done if they were transparent about the issue, offered to replace faulty batteries for customers still under warranty (instead of nerfing the device to hide the fault), and/or made the CPU throttling a transparent option in settings that users can enable and disable, eg.

Battery Optimisation: On/Off
Enabling this may provide improved battery life and stability on older devices. WARNING: Enabling this may impact performance

It's going to be interesting to see how this fiasco plays out in Australia. Under our Australian Consumer Laws we have a statutory warranty period for purchases that cannot be undone by a manufacturer or sellers own [lesser] warranty. This covers the basics of the item you purchase such as:
The goods will be of acceptable quality. The goods will be fit for a particular purpose. The goods will match their description. The goods will match the sample or demonstration model. You have title to the goods. You have undisturbed possession of the goods. There are no undisclosed securities on the goods.
Different periods of length apply for different items. For smart phones, the warranty period is 2 years. This 2 year period means that it is considered reasonable for a consumer to expect their phone to last a period of at least 2 years. (You can read more about this from Apple's own website: https://www.apple.com/au/legal/statutory-warranty/)

The iPhone 6s is only 2 years old (September 2015 release in Aus) so a large number of these phones will still be covered by this consumer protection.

Apple knew that due to a design flaw [in the batteries] the devices would not be able to last a reasonable period of time at an acceptable level of quality. At the time Apple were made aware of this, they should have, as per the Australian consumer laws, offered customers at least a repair or replacement. Instead of doing this, Apple committed to taking measures to conceal the problem from customers, which in effect prevented consumers from accessing their consumer rights and having their devices repaired/replaced under the warranty period.


I would not be surprised if we end up seeing Apple Aus being forced to recall the affected iPhones for free battery replacements as well as an iOS update on the devices that removes (or changes, see example above) the CPU throttling 'feature'.

 
 

I mean, what flagship today has an easy to replace battery? 
 
I can replace any iPhone battery in 10min for only the cost of the battery itself. 

Interesting. I'm glad they made battery replacements on the iPhone X easy and inexpensive when you remove the back gla...... oh. 
 
EDIT: Seems you can replace it from to front. Wasn't aware of that. 

Cool feature like power saving mode in windows but Apple does stop optimizing IOS updates after 2 years for your iPhone. Which also falls right into the length of Apple Care

So yes, Apple does slow down your phone if your battery has degraded to the point that the phone would not be able to provide the required power to keep the system running during some tasks. If you remember not too long ago people complained about iPhones just randomly shutting off while in use, apparently this was due to their batteries simply being so degraded that at some point in their normal operation, there simply was not enough juice. 
 
If you will also recall Apple issued an update to "fix" this and apparently to do that, Apple scaled back the performance of iPhones with poor battery health to prevent them from simply turning off during normal use. 
 
So no, Apple does not slow down your iPhones deliberately simply because a new one comes out....but they do slow down the performance if your battery becomes warn out and degraded.....or at least that is what this article says. 
 

 

Just got this in the mail today

It's still alive, yeah, but @iamdarkyoshi still needs to print the case

Sorry for necroposting again, but the excitement is real, and I'm just hoping that the project is still alive and healthy. Which it probably is.
 
Also I'm bored and don't know what to do with myself right now.

Don't even care how successful this will be, I just want to see how this performs

vega is very efficient  when its not at a high clock. 56 and 64 are running at near max clock out of the box. 

However, the motherboard does follow the micro-STX specification. If it does, well, I know what motherboard I'm getting next.

It's probably going to go into the Skull Canyon NUC replacement.

It is a development board not the final product, for what is worth that IS LAPTOP MEMORY

It's probably a development or SFF board. It doesn't mean it's not meant for mobile.

Mobile solution for sure, Intel can't give a decent iGPU to costumers so went to knock on AMD's door, this is priceless... a shame Intel Iris Pro never took off it has a great name for marketing

That's a lot of power phases.

A video has emerged on Youtube showing what looks like Intel's upcoming cpu, the Core i7 8709G. based on the KabyLake G architecture. The cpu is a quad core with hyperthread running at 3.1GHz and has a turbo of 3.8 or 3.9GHz. What's unique about this cpu is, it comes with Radeon VEGA M graphics with HBM2 memory.

Mute sound before playing.

Well, yer ma and pa fucked, 9 months later...

I feel like I do all those things except biking I like to walk though.

Sanctum 2, Dungeon Defenders 2, if you want mobile games, Bloons TD5, and BTD Battles

Yah know, I fucking hate installing tower coolers lol
didn't sprain anything I just wasted a lot of time. lol

No, it'll connect to the standard PERIF/SATA connector on the modular PSU.  Only instead of having 3 or 4 SATA connectors like the ones that shipped with my Supernova P2, it'll do nine.  Which will be perfect for the nine 3.5" drive bays stacked up in my server.  Right now I have multiple sets linking from the PSU to that stack and this'll be a LOT more efficent cable wise.
