AMD's 8 cores were actual real 8 cores. There was no hyperthreading involved. It's just that they had separate INT units, but shared FP unit. And that's seen by some as cheating...

That's BS. Firefox's JS engine is very fast and perfectly on par with Chrome's V8. Sometimes even faster. Not to mention Firefox actually renders webpages faster. Chrome, every time I tried it felt like a slow pig. Sure, it always had high scores in pure JS benchmarks, but when becnhmarked on complete pages, it was a fat slow pig. The fact it loads all the tracking junk isn't helping it either.

I have no clue why people use Chrome turd in the first place... It's literally the worst browser design wise and to top it up it's Google's privacy nightmare. And as predicted, they dominated the market by relentlessly pushing it and then clamping down on other ad providers, shilling only their own. Well, I hope this adblock fiasco will backfire monumentally and people will move to Firefox (and Opera). I wonder how it'll be for Opera with their integrated AdBlock... Anyway, I've been on Opera for like 2 years and now I've returned to Firefox because it's now supporting password managers on Android. I'll stay with Firefox for sure.

I've predicted that Apple will push privacy as their "special feature". Because lets be honest, they are pretty shitty at innovations by selling existing innovations and marketing them as their own and that's showing by slow sales recently, but privacy thing is something Android is a lost cause by default. All phones are riddled with Google's junk, hoarding all your data. Even if you opt for a custom ROM without any Google framework (Gapps) you're basically removing the only benefit of Android, which is wide selection of apps. If you remove that you might just as well stay with a feature phone because selection of "clean" apps that don't need Google framework is just shitty. So, Apple clearly can pull this off. The problem is still the price. Their lowest end XR costing over 900€ is absurd, with or without the privacy because I don't think presence of Google on device is giving manufacturer a financial gain from Google. I mean, it only costs 650€ more than the phone I currently have (Xiaomi Mi5 which thankfully runs LineageOS, but with Gapps coz I need the apps)...

If only Apple products weren't so god damn expensive and just getting even more expensive every year. Their locking down of eco system ain't helping either. Sure privacy care is great, but when you realize you'll also have to deal with countless Apple specific bullshits, they all of a sudden aren't all that great anymore.

Because NVIDIA's naming scheme is retarded. And it just got even more retarded with announcement of GTX 1660Ti... And AMD isn't any better if they'll really call NAVI cards as "RX 3080". Same BS they are doing with CPU chipsets. It's idiotic and just further confuses consumers. Even I have trouble remembering all the similarly named chipsets and where one belongs...

Things only go weird if you have Intel RST installed. Or if you're going from Intel to AMD chipset or vice versa. If it's Intel to Intel, you often don't have to do anything. Windows will auto install required drivers for chipset.

50 million is a piss against a hurricane. They'll gladly violate it again if they know this will bring them long term profit 10x times the fine if not more. Hit them with those 4% and they'll never ever even think about dicking around with privacy laws.

It's because of the image ratio. It tried to get down the longest side to 1600 pixels and when it did that, it caused the tiny side to shrink out of existence.

Fabrication of chipset means nothing. Chipsets are always levels behind CPU fabrication. Also official numbers for RAM are meaningless. X99 has official support up to 2400MHz. But people run way faster RAM on them. I have 2400MHz RAM but at 2666MHz. All fine. As for purpose of using gimped chipset for a top of the line CPU. Well...

@kingmustard I mean more in the lines of throwing H.265 (also called HEVC) video on USB drive and playing it on Tv or using it via SmartTV's or SmartTV Android boxes. But yeah...

But takes longer to encode and is not as widely supported on external devices like H.264 is.

I can't understand why back buttons can't be arranged in cross formation with OK in the middle and BACK underneath. This way you don't even have to use awkward dot on the button and remember which is where, especially when buttons are linearly placed and up and down are in same horizontal line. That's so monumentally retarded I can't express myself how. With cross arranegement you know what button does with orientation of them alone. And OK in the middle is your orientation point. I don't think I've seen it on any monitor yet, only on LCD TV's. It's like TV manufacturers are decades ahead with this...

"Lowball conservative move." From a freaking left leaning centrist that I am. Give me a F break... Women are treated poorly? Guess what, so are men. People are known to be dicks to other people, gender independent. It starts in the kindergarten already, just ask any kid that's ginger, fat or with glasses. But men are just expected to suck it up and shut up about it, otherwise they are called pussies by other men and made fun by women about "male fragility" just like thing exploded like a year or two ago. But if woman is treated poorly, lets stop the world again, because woman is being treated poorly, oh noes. Men say mean things about women? I hope you ever heard what mean backstabbing bitches women can be. Men are amateurs compared to them. And those testimonials came from women themselves, not from me...

Typo. I meant 250. Assured because they can't make a 4th iteration of what Polaris offered as a performance bump with RX590. And at that point, they'll already be at GTX 1080 levels. Besides, NVIDIA dictated "mid range" is RTX 2060 which is generally GTX 1080 performance level. So, there you have it. I think with NAVI they are aiming at successful mid range like Polaris was. And they won't have to deal with stupid miners this time...
