You can also get the samson sr850 headphones they are really really good headphone and at a wonderfull price. They sound like headphones many times the price.

I forgot to mention. The beyerdynamic tygrs are open back and are 32 ohm which are easily drivable without an amp. That with the modmic 4 uni is really good.

You should drift away from these usb "gaming" headsets. You could get a pair of studio headphones that are actually good.
I use the DT 990 pros 250 ohm which are open back. But they require an amp to get the most out of them. The DT 770 pros (80ohm) are closed back but have pretty good soundstage for closed back. The imaging is perfect for gaming as well. Pair this headphone with a modmic 4 uni and you are golden. There are other options out there but I just love beyers build quality and sound signature.

Oh wow i can really hear that... yeah i can totally see why you returned it!

Likely spring ping. That can be reduced by using springs that aren't garbage, and pretty much eliminated by lubing the springs.
 
It's not technically a full size, but it has pretty all the keys in a more compact layout. GMMK is another option again, but that one does not have extra holes for PCB mount switches (not an issue, just annoying that you have to cut off two metal pins if your switch is PCB mount), and it uses plate mount stabilisers. While the XD96 supports PCB mount switches, and you can use screw in stabilisers, which are superior to plate mount stabilisers (e.g. Durock/Everglide).
You're likely better off getting a barebones kit if you get the GMMK, as the switch options they carry are not really interesting. The keycaps should be fine, though, as they are just cheap doubleshot ones (miles better than on gaming prebuilts).

Err, the server doesnt use GPU at all.
 
Server just needs integrated graphics.

It's a server. Don't need a GPU. A cheap display adapter is enough.
I believe it would be plenty, and if it isn't it's easy to upgrade. Go for the 16.

No it’s just a nice to have, don’t bother with it if you don’t wanna spend the money. 

Charters TOS is unenforceable honestly.  It says...
 
This makes playing games on XBox Live against the ToS, as there are games with P2P match hosting.

You may want to consider using AWS. Considering it's probably against your internet company's TOS to host a game server.

M o n o p o l i e s, kids, M o n o p o l i e s!

A rumor fabricated to shake investor confidence. 
 
All it is. 

Ouch... Hope they compensate the guy.

The problem is there's never a positive resolution for almost anyone except larger youtubers. You appeal, CR holder says "no it's legit" and the strike stays on your account. 
His problem will get solved if it gets attention or the CR holder is good enough to manually review auto claims, other CR holders either dont review, double down, or manually claim to censor to take profits. 
9/10 times there's no resolution for this. 

That is how youtube works, I heard that there are companies that automatically send in a complaint no matter what. They manage heavy loads of channels, and they have computers that constantly scan the flicks.

The curse of backroom paid exclusivity deals is something that has been a blight on the world of consoles for many generation with companies like Microsoft and Sony competing to see how much money they can thrown around to keep developers off competing platforms, either for a period of time or sometimes even permanently. It's a losing situation for consumers with games not being available on the platforms we want and developers becoming reliant on the platform gate keepers rather than on selling as many copies as possible across multiple channels.
 
Speaking to PC gamer Tim Sweeney made the following comments
"These exclusives don’t come to stores for free; they’re a result of some combination of marketing commitments, development funding, or revenue guarantees. This all helps developers."
https://www.pcgamer.com/amp/epics-tim-sweeney-reveals-how-the-company-lands-exclusives-for-the-epic-store/
 

 
Upto now for the most part this cancerous practice has not taken hold off the PC gaming world. The major players are Steam, Origin, GOG, Uplay, Battlnet, Humble Store with Steam obviously being the dominant platform. None of these platforms offer exclusivity deals to 3rd party devs. As a result there are lots of games available on multiple store fronts, this makes sense for the dev as well to reach as many consumers as possible. Some games rely on one store by choice, for example Valve keeps their games exclusive to steam, EA keeps their games on Origin. This is their choice of course, what we have to ensure is that they do not incentivize independent 3rd party devs to stay off competing platforms. There have been some attempts to introduce paid exclusivity amongst PC launchers, by the Windows Store and the Oculus Store. For example Microsoft paid to keep Rise of the Tomb Raider away from Steam and PS4 for a while when it was available first on Xbox and then on the Windows Store. Fortunately it did not escalate into an arms race.
 
Let me emphasize that I am 100% in favour of having multiple store fronts. I support Epic in their endeavours with this new PC gaming store. One of the things that defines us as an open platform is that we can purchase and install software from different sources and anybody can choose to open a store or even sell their game direct to consumers. Steam itself would never have been able to spring up and revitalize PC gaming if not for this fact. We need open competition, new stores will spring up, some will die and some will thrive. This concept is more important than convenience.
 
An example of how this can damage the market; The PC platform actually consists of three operating systems- Windows, Mac OSX and Linux. Some stores like Steam and GOG support all three, some like Origin are windows only etc. A promising in development game known as Rebel Galaxy Outlaw has now signed up to be Epic exclusive for a year. Which cuts off access to players using non-windows operating systems and they are not happy about it. Clicky. Now I know this particular case doesn't affect many of you but the concept is important in demonstrating the dangers of this practice.
 
Steam at the moment does also offer funding and loans to indie game developers, they sign up a deal with Valve that the game must be made available on Steam, but they retain the right to also simultaneously launch on any other platform as long it is also available on steam.

How much do we know about the architectures of the RTX cores and Tensor cores? Is it possible that they are similar?

As you may have heard we'll be moving all subscriptions off the LTT Forums and on to Floatplane.com. You will no longer be able to subscribe through the forum AND all billing agreements made through the forum will be cut off. At this time we request that all users cancel their subscriptions on the forum and start new subscriptions on Floatplane.com.
 
Subscriptions done through the forum have been a major accounting problem for a long time now as the forums billing agreements have all been with Linus Media Group instead of Floatplane media which is an accounting nightmare that we are going to try to avoid in 2019.
 
As a gift for dealing with the hassle of migrating things over, and to cover any time you had left on your subscription, we will be granting two bonus months to all creators that you are subscribed to on Floatplane.com AND you’ll gain access to an exclusive live chat emoji all on January 31st.

These steps are correct for most people but sometimes the cancel button is sneaky and decides to be somewhere else or isn't there at all.. This is another reason we are moving away from the LTT forums as we can't fix some of the payments problems. If these steps don't work for you please move on to Method 2.
 

Method 2, Cancelling through PayPal:

Should've spoiler tagged it for the climactic reveal.

It's an i3 with one of the most powerful graphics cards you can currently buy in terms of gaming performance. What do you think the problem is?
 
 
 
It's your CPU. Of course it's your CPU.

If it's over a few years old and the usage is constantly at 100% for no reason, it might be about to die. My laptop drive was about 3 years when Windows slowed to a crawl and usage was constantly 100%. I just barely got all my stuff off it and onto a new drive.

Sounds like a Windows 10 bug and/or a bad drive. I know Windows 10 has a 100% disk usage bug

Permanent as in it's just now reach 40 minutes worth of 100% with nothing open... I can't quite tell you the exact drive as this is a laptop, but the laptop itself is an Alienware R3 from 2015, with a 1TB HDD.

Wait, Lenovo makes phones? I don't care what the specs are if it's made by Lenovo I'd buy it.
