Communal Noodle reacted to LinusTech in Rene Ritchie throws down the gauntlet with Linus
I guess you missed our Zenbook Pro review where we complained about how much it thermal throttled.
And conveniently you also missed the part where we mentioned in the 'Macs are slower' video that it's a problem with some Windows laptops too.
No, it's not. That's not why we edit off a high speed raid. The actual export/encoding process would perform similarly on a mechanical drive.

I feel like that's lazy programming though. Because you see that a ton and are even taught to never worry about memory or anything

Wait for Nokia 9 to drop from 550£ perhaps?
They have a nice trackrecord of OS updates.
Its post processing isnt as good as other componies, but it offers a good Camera combo

Communal Noodle reacted to david.lesicnik in What if...: Windows Mobile.
I loved just looking at my WP8.1 start screen and seeing the little tiles flip around and move about. It looked so clean and yet showed me just the information I needed.

Communal Noodle reacted to Princess Luna in What if...: Windows Mobile.
It never had any of this, Windows Phone was the lightest and fastest and most reliable OS for phones on it's time, yes it was superior even to iOS.
The sole reason it didn't take off was because every one boycotted it, the lack of Applications and Flagship Phones using it is what killed it.
That simple, I had a Nokia Lumia myself with Windows Phone and honestly I used it up till recently when I got gifted a new phone.

CSF: They have the funding, but the employees have to take initiative to do it. Perhaps post ideas and they may respond.

Communal Noodle reacted to Blademaster91 in Opinion: Apple isn't ripping anyone off
Saying I "hate" Apple is a strong claim, while on the other hand people blindly defend Apple on everything.
I dislike Apple for their policies and their practices to screw over the consumer, they also seem to ignore what many of their consumers want, alot of their diehard fans even criticize stupid crap like the gimmicky touchbar, soldered in RAM and SSD's, and aren't upgrading from their older laptops that have a better selection of I/O ports.
I'd like to see you prove that they don't though. If you've ever seen Louis Rossmann's videos, they sometimes swap components from other boards if they don't have the part available, and its not like you can just replace the screen on a macbook, you have to replace the whole top lid.

Communal Noodle reacted to Dabombinable in Opinion: Apple isn't ripping anyone off
How so? Few device manufacturers go out of their way to limit access to spare part, or have severe restrictions on who can buy them and exactly what repairs are allowed (eg. Apple do have those severe restrictions).

Communal Noodle reacted to Mooshi in Opinion: Apple isn't ripping anyone off
Or maybe people are getting blatantly ripped off for repairs. Doesn't matter if the hardware has a fruit or a Dell logo. Those prices are atrocious.

Communal Noodle reacted to TetraSky in Opinion: Apple isn't ripping anyone off
It has been proven that mere humidity change those "water damage dots" to red, indicating "water damage" for the Apple "geniuses".
Real water damage create corrosion on the board.
Apple is screwing their customers by claiming the tiniest of issue is water damage because of their faulty diagnosis methods involving those stupid dots that are WAY too sensitive to any sort of humidity.
You'd have to live in the desert with 0% humidity for the dots to never turn red over the course of normal usage.
The fact they are unwilling to actually diagnose a problem, just look for "water damage" (are the dots red? It's water damage, lets replace the entire board and the screen for good measure) and just outright decide to change everything instead of actually addressing the real issue, charging you for every parts in the process, is a problem and it needs to be spoken about.

Communal Noodle reacted to LinusTech in Shady stuff with PC secret shopper dell,maingear,ibuy,HP
Same card with same billing address (NOT the office, but my personal address) was used for all systems. Can't have an employee putting $10,000 CAD on their card. Not really appropriate.
We have no reason to think that anyone put 2+2 together for these purchases.
As was pointed out earlier in this thread, Yvonne Ho (not Sebastian) is not an obvious link to LTT for the VAST majority of people. The folks on this forum are an exception.
Also, only the billing department and customer care saw this. Pre-sales did not.
Another thing, there was no obvious tone shift in Maingear, for example once they realized who they were talking to. If we'd noticed we were getting special treatment we'd have called back to get another rep for sure (as it is we dealt with the first rep we talked to for everyone)
PS if Maingear was in on it, don't you think they'd have shipped us a more powerful system? Lol...

This is weird considering these two are related. https://babeltechreviews.com/nvidias-ceo-is-the-uncle-of-amds-ceo/
Must make family reunions awkward. ?
It's a pretty expected response from Huang to be honest, what else would he say?

Communal Noodle reacted to Deus Voltage in Jensen Huang (Nvidia CEO) Responds to AMD, " it's underwhelming-- We'll crush it"
PCworld released an article last night detailing Jensen's response to AMD. Nvidia's CEO seems very dismissive of AMD, stating the following:
When asked about the launch of the AMD card itself, he said the following:
Jensen was also somewhat dismissive of FreeSync:
Lisa Su from AMD responded to Jensen by saying the following:
My opinion:
Honestly, this is just getting ridiculous at this point. I think this could have perhaps been avoided if AMD, as some here commented, released an 8Gb version for a lesser price to compete more aggressively.

Communal Noodle reacted to bowrilla in Is it safe for an i7-8700k to run at 100% for days on end?
it's actually the switching that kills electrical components (especially PSUs). As long as the temps are within spec there's nothing to worry about continuous loads.

Communal Noodle reacted to .Apex. in i7-6700 - Cannot Use Integrated GPU
don't expect much BIOS control from OEM motherboards, they really don't expect their users to enter the BIOS so they put very little care and effort into it.

Communal Noodle reacted to .Apex. in i7-6700 - Cannot Use Integrated GPU
@Tudor30
you need to Force Enable the Integrated GPU in BIOS, otherwise it gets automatically disabled when you have a Discrete GPU installed.
If there's no option like that in BIOS then you really can't do anything about it

Communal Noodle reacted to NoCarrier in Show off your old and retro computer parts
Just picked up a pile of 3COM 3C509 16-bit ISA NICs. Got tired of using 1.44mb floppies (most of which are on borrowed time, i've had many fail after just a couple of read/writes), and got mbrutman's mTCP stack up and running. DHCP and FTP from DOS!

Got my IIGS running Gold Rush. It's funny how many millenials at work tell me there's no such thing as an Apple IIGS. They will tell me... "apple made the original iphone, 3G, 3GS, and the 4. They never made a 2GS"... and then I show them this.
