  1. But seeing how its made for kids, is it actually a bad design for kids. ? Looks fine to me as a kids device.
  2. Yeah, you'd think they'd save 10x00 for 10nm ?
  3. Yeah I did see that, but as you say it is pre-order for a product already released. So maybe the "real" launch is on the 12th. Hopefully that means Amazon will get it on the 12th too, I'm waiting for Amazon so I can get the 5% cash back on my Amazon Visa. Helps offset the CA taxes.
  4. Yes I am sure the person who got "You are so ugly and stupid" on their Instagram is getting that in real life too. Like every time they walk down the street. ?
  5. This is really feeling like a bullshit Paper Launch. Cannot get a 3900x off Amazon 2 days later. How many did they even get to Amazon? Doesn't show up in search, have to find a product link, and that just says unavailable, not even back-ordered. They got the motherboards, but no CPU. WTF AMD. Here I am trying to toss my money at them, and the product is nowhere to be found.
  6. Bullying is human nature, you are not going to get rid of it. Try as you might but it is the result of thousands of years of evolution. Censorship to try and achieve this will fail, the people that are produced in this system would be so fragile they likely would commit suicide over the smallest slight, and society will likely lose the ability for people to stand up and tell someone else "No, your idea is shit".
  7. Words on a screen cannot hurt you unless you have a weak mind. Cyberbullying is 100% about weakness. About people who are so weak they break down into tears over some pixels. They don't have to break down into tears, they can become strong, they can gain the ability to choose to not care.
  8. Instead of teaching people to be adults with strong mental facilities that can laugh off mean comments, we are going to try to police speech, creating an atmosphere that is productive of creating mentally weak people, who will need ever more and more protection from their bad feelings. "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me" was a hell of a lot better for society.
  9. The UK now on the same side of the web freedom of thought and association debate as China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, and North Korea. Congrats guys!
  10. But is that not what the 'Jebaited' Tweet is signifying, that they baited Nvidia with false pricing to get them to launch their cards higher?
  11. I'm not buying the Tweet nonsense at all. They got caught with their pants down by Nvidia willing to push price/performance with Super editions and now are trying to save face as they had to cut their profit margins before even launching the product. Also as a publicly traded company, if they actually publicly released fake pricing, duping investors as to the profit potential of the products, they should be investigated by the SEC.
  12. Yeah I don't think they are actually having that epiphany of function over form, but rather just utilizing the space provided by the switch ARM that has long been talked about. Intel knows they are losing their Mac sales by 2020. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/apple-mac-arm-cpus-2020-intel,38668.html With ARM chips taking up less space, and engineered completely by Apple, they can better fit in a decent keyboard in the same size or smaller chassis.
  13. Now that the last good MBPs batteries are at the point of explosion time to put out a new good one to win everyone back. Also arguably more evidence of the switch to ARM in 2020. Smaller ARM boards will enable a thicker keyboard in the same thin chassis.
  14. Those of us in good neighborhoods got tired of having to go pick it up. I say we bring back corporal punishment for package thieves. 15 lashes in the public square, they won't touch an Amazon box again. ?
  15. One my favorite things about this is that the Games Journos decided to attack YouTubers, and YouTubers are now lighting them up. Yong leaving no survivors.
  16. A lot of arguing in this thread of politics being in games, and games shouldn't be political. I feel like its missing a greater point. Of course games are political, all art is, but until around 2013 there was not a concerted effort to force ALL games to be politically correct to the left wing Western audience. There are many different political viewpoints and thoughts, but only one won't get you attacked by the games media! Cyberpunk is not going to be politically correct for Western Leftists, and the attempts to force it to be by games journalists are despicable and evil. Sorry Games Journos, your attempt at bullying CD Projekt Red into conforming to your political viewpoint has failed.
  17. They didn't even do that. They just took his love interest, Jane Foster, gave her his powers, and then for some reason I will never understand She took his name. His birth name. The name she probably screamed out while they were F@#%$#%. I'd rather they actually turned Thor into a woman, it would have been less dumb.
  18. We need more developers to call out this Woke political crap the games journalists are pulling. Just because you got a blue checkmark on Twitter and a barely above starvation wage at Kotaku doesn't mean you get to dictate what someone else gets to make or play! This just endears me to CD Projekt Red even more.
  19. It's been 4 years and they are launching a minor refresh? Of a product that is no longer competitive when you can get a 4k HDR stick from Amazon or Roku for $50. Uhm wut. They better be selling these for $40.
  20. Same motherboard CPU upgrades are only worth it if you plan to replace the CPU within a year. Like if you bought a Ryzen APU for $100 right now to have a functional system, but know you are going to move to the 12 core $500 monster come X-Mas, it would be worth it. But 6 years later, I doubt the OP would get much if anything out of moving from the mid-range to the high end of Ivy Bridge. Start saving up. Next years $100 Ryzen APU should be a monster (8 core 16 threads with Navi based integrated graphics i am betting!) and a great entry level option for you.
  21. Really should wait a month. New Ryzen chips 7/7 that can use that same motherboard but will be 15+% faster. New Navi based GPUs as well. Otherwise, PSU might be cutting a little close for comfort if you end up with a Vega 56. I'd guess total system power under heavy load at maximum would be ~375. Probably be fine.
  22. How much are you buying off Amazon? I have the Amazon/Chase Visa, and it gives 5% back on Amazon purchases, 1-3% on other stuff as Amazon credit. I usually end a month with $50-100 in credit from it.
  23. I am in amazement no one on his team didn't realize how idiotic that was and put their foot down.The IRL part of Twitch was a mistake. Just when you thought IRL had sunk to its lowest point with chicks painting their boobs to get donations from 12 year old boys, bam TOILET STREAM. Just end it, go back to making everyone stream actual gameplay.
  24. I wonder if only having a LinkedIn puts me in a better or worse position for this. On the one hand they cannot get any data from Facebook/Twitter, and might find that odd, on the other hand they get my work history which should be more than enough to evaluate if someone is going to pay back a debt.
  25. Anyone else feel like Microsoft is an idiot for doing this. Where before I'd buy Gears on sale for like $30 now I am going to pay $10 to play it at launch. The same for the next Halo game. And every other first party game they make that I am interested in. They'd be lucky to get $100 off me in the next 5 years at that rate. While Sony will get $120 off Spiderman 2 and Last of Us 2 alone. Wheres the math in it?
