    kuzko reacted to jagdtigger in First UK games workers' union formed to demand rights   
    They only need to eliminate the unpaid part . BTW we (production line workers) have a similar issue with "time frames". they basically legally allowed to create negative hours when there is no work(meaning we dont even go to work, and get pain like normal), then when needed we most go to work even on weekends for (almost) no extra money.... Biggest problem is they also write negative hours when its their fault meaning they supposed to swallow it, not write it onto us.

    I am unsure if not using any encryption at all, ... or using the browser bar to pass around data is the worse offense.
    Seriously, both are inexcusable.

    Now we just need an rtx 2070 5gb, rtx 2070 3gb, rtx 2070 ddr4 and rtx 2070 6gb.
    Also a version with raytracing cores disabled called the gtx 2070. Thanks @PatXioPC for the idea.

    This attack needs : frequency scaling and turbo boost off... it's a  poor attack with pretty weak bases considering most of HT intel SKUs come with those enabled.
    In case you want to run the code : https://github.com/bbbrumley/portsmash
    Also, as a guess, due to the "small bits of exfiltrated data at a time" nature of the attack, cryptography with Perfect Forward Secrecy (industry standard nowadays) might remain pretty unaffected.

    Happy?
     
    I'm very surprised at your reactions here @Enderman. You're an intelligent and thoughtful forum user. You should well know what a conflict of interest is.
     
    The fact that the PCPer reviewer, is the same person hired by Intel to write a technical white paper about the Optane drive's capabilities, etc, is a clear conflict of interest. Whether he himself is an unethical person or not is irrelevant. He should have intentionally excused himself from the review.
     
    PCPer, in my opinion, should have done the following:
    1. At the start of the review, state clearly, verbally (in video form) or in bold, impossible to miss text (in written form), that one of their employees worked on the White Paper, which was created by a company also owned by Ryan.
    2. Allyn should have excused himself from the review, and another PCPer reviewer should have performed the review
     
    Whether Allyn can remain objective isn't the question - as from an Ethics point of view, he should never put himself in a position where his objectivity and bias could be questioned to this degree.
     
    You seem focused on the fact that "his review isn't wrong". That's not the point. The point is that a conflict of interest like that - especially one NOT DISCLOSED is most definitely unethical to begin with.
  19. Agree
    kuzko reacted to Notional in PC Perspective accused of violating journalistic ethics *Update 2 with PCPer reply*   
    Is there a point to that whataboutism? Does it make it better that others haven't disclosed similar things?
     
    Yet the testing and opinion were done by the same person. That is a conflict of interest. Why would you defend something like that?

    kuzko reacted to PopReference in PC Perspective accused of violating journalistic ethics *Update 2 with PCPer reply*   
    This is a clearly crossing the line of ethical practice, at least in my view. I did remember the _Sync stuff and have noticed other odd practices but have viewed their reviews and content before.
    I don't value PcPer as objective knowing this now.
