    Sirmyself got a reaction from xWeegix in So I created a view counter for floatplane.   
    I created a purely Javascript solution to display a view counter during the wan show.
    Run it in the console if you're confortable with that kind of thing. The chat needs to be displayed within the page for the script to run properly. And the "secondsToRefresh" value will be the number of seconds before the counter shows up. Then the number of seconds it takes before it refreshes (I liked it at 1 second of refresh period, but one could argue it's not necessary, so I set it to 10 by default.)  
    const secondsToRefresh = 10; //refreshes every 10 seconds, change value before running the script to refresh more or less often function refreshList() { var btn = document.querySelectorAll(`.chat-view-container.chat-messages-container:not(.hide) .header-button.btn-user-list, .chat-view-container.chat-users-container:not(.hide) .header-button.btn-user-list.btn-return-to-chat`)[0] if (btn) {btn.click()}; } window.setInterval(function() { var subTitle = document.getElementById("addedSh*t"); if (!subTitle) { subTitle = document.createElement("div"); subTitle = document.getElementsByClassName("video-title")[0].insertAdjacentElement("afterEnd", subTitle); subTitle.outerHTML = `<div class="video-title" id="addedSh*t"> <span class="title-text" style="font-size:12px" id="viewCount">View count: test</span> </div>`; } refreshList(); document.getElementById("viewCount").innerText = "View count: " + document.querySelectorAll(".chat-viewer-name.ng-star-inserted").length; refreshList(); //console.log(document.querySelectorAll(".chat-viewer-name.ng-star-inserted").length); }, secondsToRefresh * 1000);

    Sirmyself got a reaction from thompson004 in GPU - 1 or 2 PCIe Cables?   
    TLDR (or TLDW) there was a difference. There seemed to have a little more stability from having two PCIe cables instead of having only one cable with a daisy-chained connector.

    The difference was definitely measurable and noticeable in benchmarks but would result in quite limited performance increase in actual gaming situations.

    Sirmyself reacted to mariushm in HDMI port physical compatibility   
    No physical difference, but the cable may need to be of slightly better quality (it's 18 gbps vs 10.2 gbps through the cable.. nearly double)
    You have the same number of TMDS channels, 3, but the frequency increases from 340 Mhz on HDMI 1.4 to 600 Mhz in HDMI 2.0 ... if the silicon chip was designed to, or can only support up to let's say 400-450 Mhz ... then of course it can't do 600 Mhz (or more) required for HDMI 2.0
    It could have been a simple cost cutting measure, using less transistors or smaller transistors making the 600 mhz frequency impossible to achieve... or could be a deliberate decision to not support HDMI 2.0 in older video card generation in order to push newer series, or because they don't want to spend the man hours to implement hdmi 2.0 support in drivers, or maybe they don't want to spend the money to re-certify the old chips for hdmi 2.0

    Jayztwocents did a video on this a few years back. If you are not looking to hit record breaking overclocks just run the one cable with the two 8 pin connectors. Stability wise Jay saw that using two separate 8 pin cables sometimes allowed for slightly higher stable overclocks but not anything that would be noticed in daily operation.

    Apparently Apple knows what's "best" for their products (lol), forces their practices on user's machines, and think it's all good because it had "good intentions".
     
    It doesn't matter if Apple had good intentions or not, the fact remains: they slowed down products without *any* notification to the end user - making it look like their phones are getting old and possibly needing an upgrade.
     
    I don't want Apple deciding what's best for me. I want Apple to say "We think this will help X but harm Y, do you want to do this?" and give users the choice.
     
    The entire Batterygate fiasco could have never happened if Apple had given users choice.

    I would say they don't care at all, but if the customers win, it would be a good kick. Even if they don't, if the news spread, it may eventually end up motivating other provinces or even countries to allow the same, which will certainly make the bell ring someday and force apple to improve on their service or the lifespan of their products.

    I tend to disagree, I had no issue at all with my Sony XPeria m4's battery or system: the earphone finally broke after the phone was dropped too many times, so I had to switch to an LG G6. If it were not for me being clumsy, I would still use my Xperia.

    Either the law gets updated, or apple is forced to update their warranty services. Both results would make me happy.

    I did provide a link in English that details the law and also explained what might be the issue (the fact that Apple never notifies Qc buyers of that law when selling AppleCare, which is required).
     
    I do understand that you love Apple, but being disingenuous isn't helping the conversation.

    For those interested, here's the article translated (it's not perfect, it's partly Google translate followed by my own corrections) ;
     
     
     
    Another point brought up is the legal warranty law that we have here in Quebec.
     
    The legal warranty is something that ensures consumers "get what they pay for", while the law doesn't specify product lifetimes, it states that a product life expectancy should be reasonable given the price paid, and the conditions that apply to the use of the product. That means, a 3 years warranty on a $1000 fridge is unreasonable and the consumer can get the company to fix or replace the product even if the manufacturer's warranty doesn't apply anymore. That also means, the more you pay, the longer your'e expecting the product will last before being defective.
     
    Also, before selling any extended warranty, the merchant must notify the client (verbally or in writing) of the legal warranty.

    Yeah.... the article is in french... but it's happening in Quebec, so what did you expect?..

    Basically, the Quebec Superior Court authorized a class action against Apple. The people who started the procedure evoked (among other things) planned obsolescence and unfair warranty service, which is expensive and has no benefits over the base legal warranty in Quebec.
