  1. Switch to TPG. The customer service is nonexistent but at least speeds are quite good
  2. Hahahahha That is perhaps the best solution I've heard so far.
  3. Just short the power connectors on the motherboard with a phillips head or, and this is somewhat inelegant, you could short the power connectors and then use the PSU's power button as the system power button
  4. That used to be the case but the P phones are now flagship. Think of it like how OnePlus has 2 flagship devices that release during different dates ie. OnePlus 7 Pro and OnePlus 7T Pro.
  5. Huawei has announced its new flagship P40, P40 Pro and P40 Pro+ handsets. These devices do not come with GMS and any google suite of apps, instead relying on Huawei's App Gallery. These new flagship devices contain the HiSilicon Kirin 990 5G chipset which directly compete against the Snapdragon 865 mobile processor and the X55 5G modem combination. Huawei's SoC design incorporates the 5G modem inside of the SoC unlike Qualcomm's design which means that all of the P40 lineup contains the same 5G modem supporting the same 5G bands unlike the Galaxy S20 lineup. They claim this design is much more power efficient than Qualcomm's design. The P40 supports a 50MP main camera, 8MP 3x optical zoom telephoto lens and 16 MP wide angle lens. The P40 Pro doesn't include the 3X telephoto lens favouring a 12MP 5X optical zoom periscope lens. The P40 Pro+ bumps up the optical zoom capacity of its little brother to up to 10X optical zoom from its 8MP periscope lens. Both Pro devices contain a 40MP wide angle camera. Perhaps the most distinguishing features of the P40 Pro which has had a hands on by MKBHD is the perplexing display. It is 6.5 inch OLED display with a resolution of 2640x1200 and that display is shared with the Pro+. It has an out of the box refresh rate of 90Hz but the most confusing aspect is the screen curvature which curves from the left and right side, not as dramatic as the P30, and curves from the top and bottom but not the corners which disrupt the "water flow"design Huawei was going for. The Pro+ also contains 40W wireless charging which is neat but good luck trying to find a charger that supports the wattage. Pretty confusing lineup and without the inclusion of GMS very hard to recommend. Full overview at this Anandtech article and this video by MKBHD.
  6. Probably going to be some Frankenstein proprietary format or basically fake wraith prism coolers.
  7. I am optimistic about crypto but due to its high volatility and just how complex the whole process is compared just buying stocks of a public company I wouldn't recommend crypto to basically anyone as of right now. Let's see what the future holds for it though.
  8. Might be. Personally i heard this news a couple of hours ago and I just wanted to see the community's perspective on this and inform y'all
  9. via: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2019/11/official-monero-website-is-hacked-to-deliver-currency-stealing-malware/ The official website for the digital currency Monero was hacked and modified to deliver a malware disguised as crypto wallets with the purpose of stealing user's' currency. Researchers found that there had been changes made to the Linux binary was a script that ran when open which sent your wallet seed to a server. The Windows CLI wallet functioned similarly. At the time of publication of this topic and article from which this was sourced, one reddit user has claimed to have lost his/her coins due to the installation of the Linux binary. GetMonero's advisory has yet to claim the any vulnerabilities in the website and if the site had been fixed. There is a download link of the Linux binary meant for developers and researchers to analyze and comprehend the code.
