Huh. Well at least there's the option of always being on Mint LTS. Which you know, it's an option like everything on Linux is.

That's a good joke. 
 
Agree on the rest though. 
 
 

Sales?
 
Pff that shit's outdated: Publishers only care about secondary sales a.k.a. Microtransactions today.

Sounds way too optimistic

Quote from Jorowsky's latest and greatest.

Apple: when getting 8 core chips like a year after the rest of the laptop workstations it's still considered news.

I think there's 2 possibilities
 
1) It's coming relatively soon and greatly below the rumored expectations and many on this thread
2) There's not going to be a traditional PS5 release at all. That is, if that console happens, it will be launched along with an accompanying game streaming service that improves on the visual quality of the PS4 and maybe even rivals possible future hardware and the "PS5" will be outrageously expensive as a luxury only option for the true "hardcore" but expensive enough that pushes as many people as possible towards console gaming as a cloud service instead.
 
So 2) is my bet but it's at least 2 or 3 years out imo.

Prices seem very bad and illogical but I understand you do what you can with what you have. Reading through your comments specially how Ryzen is a lot more money and 8100 and 8350k are the same price (Serious wtf moment there) you might as well go for it. Though if it's at all possible just try to wait for more options or importing

It's totally unrealistic in the job market to work your whole life for one position at a company. So many things change and happen in the time inbetween. You may learn you hate doing that. Or you apply and someone else gets the job. Now you worked your whole life for nothing and you will always be sad at your job because it wasn't the one you "wanted". Or the company goes under, or you take low pay and horrible work conditions because you wanted to work there. 

I mostly don't care about RGB. For the most part it makes poorly thought out rigs and general set ups tacky and stupid.
 
But RGB done right? Like say you have a day wallpaper with lots of green and your RGB and ambient lights switch colors then purple at night and such, those applications work really well.
 
Even rainbow patters can be made to look pretty nice if you match it with your wallpaper, surroundings, etc. But most people honestly just get something "RGB" and do nothing else to their set ups. Which is fine don't get me wrong I don't worry about those things myself but I also don't spend extra on RGB

At it's price I would rather go for a Ryzen 2600 or better still wait for Ryzen 3 but assuming this is part of some prebuilt or a hand-me-down from a buddy or something, sure it will do the trick mostly fine.

If AMD's past cards are any good for speculating, you can make Navi catch up if not beat the 2080 if you let it draw 400w of power...

Nice = stock Android
Meh = flip camera.
 
In fairness I am also not really that impressed with the OnePlus 7 Pro either: selfies cameras were neat when they were like an added bonus but punch holes, flip and pop-out mechanisms? Just use the camera on the back in a fucking mirror already.

Love it: everybody is an expert on corporate and state espionage and it obviously couldn't happen coming from the US side of things

Sorry but I kind of have to agree here: China might be scary big and powerful in the economy right now, but then there's the guys who literally have military bases on every nook and cranny around the world, metaphorically holding a gun to the head of every single other nation.
 
Most are just not crazy enough to object to their spying.

You know, if I was a popular youtuber I'd change not only the intro but all the music on my videos to this:
 
 
Just to fuck with them and see if they would try to claim em.
 

I did: Nadella has been very consistent in pushing Microsoft was a service provider, even above their traditional product avenues. I think that while he's still willing to let the rest of the teams at MS have their attempts the board hired him because he's proven Azure is the future for Microsoft and at this rate I fully expect them to retire for many of the more competitive product avenues and just focus on Azure: We can give you servers and cloud, you can bring your own OS or you can also rent out Windows licenses (Or just use Linux, your choice).
 
We can sell you space for your entertainment products. We have the Xbox entertainment ecosystem but that's opt in you can also select Playstation network or develop your own (Again, with Linux).
 
So long as all people keep paying and depending on Azure they're going to be eventually ok with competitors, because it's the smart thing to do if you own the fucking store. (See: Valve, Epic)
