    FunkmastaFlex reacted to Racxie in UK politicians call for "making the resale of goods purchased using an automated bot an illegal activity"   
    Summary
     UK MPs will be looking to discuss the possibility of banning the resale of computer components & consoles at inflated prices in a similar vain as event tickets.

    My thoughts
    This is a small step in the right direction considering how difficult it is to buy the latest GPUs, CPUs, and consoles, though as the article points out it could be a while before this leads anywhere.
     
    If it is fruitful then hopefully the rest of the world will follow suite, although I don't expect it to stop scalpers entirely but may still deter some.

    The downside is probably half the games running on this will be an epic games exclusive.

    Honestly this looks great, I dont get the notch/hole thing. I think a neat bezel looks WAY better than anything else.

    FunkmastaFlex reacted to foldingNoob in Facebook to pay moderators for psychological damages   
    I would classify this as a call center style job. Call centers are white collar sweat shops. Anyone that has worked in any call center wants to sue their employer for psychological damage. I know a lot of people, myself included, that has developed claustrophobia. I cannot be inside a building without a fan blowing on me, and I cannot be inside a building without open windows, even in the middle of winter.

    FunkmastaFlex reacted to TempestCatto in Twitter Will Let Employees Work From Home Permanently   
    Thanks to the current pandemic, most companies that continue to operate now do so out of most employees homes. Twitter is no exception here, and it wouldn't be surprising if more companies follow suit.
     
    My mother is an outside sales rep for a global gas company. She honestly does have to travel and be on location. But the rest of her employees, that she's in charge of, could honestly do the same here.
     
    Not surprising that the transition went well for them. After all, the are indeed an online based tech company.
     
    Think of how much money these people will save not having to commute daily. Lucky bastards.

    FunkmastaFlex reacted to Sauron in Bill Gates, Airbus, Softbank back EarthNow plan to cover Earth with real-time video surveillance satellites   
    I strongly doubt this would have a high enough resolution and precision for anything of the sort. The best they advertise is "catching illegal fishing ships in the act" - fishing ships are quite a bit larger than your average school kid. Also with "only" 500 satellites they can't possibly cover the entirety of Earth all at the same time with that level of precision.

    FunkmastaFlex reacted to minibois in Friendly to Children, not to your wallet - ESRB rating now mentions in-game purchases   
    Very good. Hopefully PEGI will add this too.
    Maybe they can edit the rating of this game now, which is practically a casino (with an E for Everyone rating). Of course they say in game purchases on the very bottom, but that should be front-left-and-center with this behaviour.

    My Thoughts:
    As far as I'm aware, this will be the first top 20 supercomputer built using AMD's Epyc CPUs, and one of the very few AMD supercomputers to have currently rolled out (with the first top 100 AMD based computer being France's CEA/TGCC-GENCI). I won't be surprised if we start seeing a lot more Epyc based supercomputers in the near future.

    FunkmastaFlex reacted to RonnieOP in (Edit: announce Feb11th) Phone wars : the rise of Samsung Galaxy - New Flagship Leaks   
    Im screwed once my note 9 bites the dust. I wish they would just re release the note 9 every other year with just updated hardware and everything else the same. Idc how kuch it costs they would have a customer for life.
     
    I havent seen a single new phone that i like.  They take away headphone jacks, sd card readers, and then give us these god awful notches. Id rather they got rid of the selfie cam all together. I cant think of a time where i needed a selfie cam.

    FunkmastaFlex got a reaction from TechyBen in New foldable samsung   
    IMO the Galaxy S9+ was their last best phone, I don't think they realize that having a reasonably sized bezel is okay. I would rather have the bezel of the S9+ than a notch or hole.

    FunkmastaFlex reacted to GenericFanboy in New foldable samsung   
    Honestly, samsung has gone from being a highly functional phone to just being trendy. Sure its still 1 of the most functional brands. But its just so.. Annoying how they constantly are changing to be more modern with apple and whatnot. When they removed the headphone jack it was just the end for me with samsung.
