    I think he meant 4GHz and 4.8GHz. 6GHz is stupid as fuck lol

    It seems the OP and Huawei have the same number of original thoughts...

    Very cool. It's worth noting that the time to brute force a password goes up exponentially with length (simply because the number of possible combinations also increases exponentially). Complexity only helps a bit. That's why it's smart to have a long, memorable password with just a few non common substitutions (don't use $ for S) and a few punctuation points in there. 
     
    For example: For an 8 character password only including upper and lower case letters (52 characters), that's 52 nPr 8 = 3E13 combinations. Add 10 symbols in there and that's 62 nPr 8 1.3E14 possible combinations.
     
    Now, make the password 9 characters long and you get 52 nPr 9 1.33E15 possible combinations and 62 nPr 9 = 7.36E15
     
    So a 9 character password that has no special characters is better than an 8 character password with special characters.
     
    EDIT: It's also worth noting that using words and sentences, as mentioned in the XKCD may not be entirely safe either. Words can be treated as "units" so instead of saying that a 9 character word is 9 pieces of complexity, it can be treated as 1. A 4 word password can be cracked the same way a 4 character password could with a dictionary attack. (Although words are more secure because there are more of them...)
     
    Best advice: Use a memorable combination of words that's long but also has random symbols sprinkled throughout. E.G. Ca#_1UMP;Ov@r[Mo0NN
    Cat Jump Over MooNN, easy to remember, then you just need to remember "pound for t, 1 for J (or just remember it as "lump" and laugh every time), the ";" then "Ovar" with @ and a 0 for the 2nd 'o' and double Ns.
     
    EDIT: I played around with this once. Remember the game "Balloons tower defense?" Well I wanted to calculate the order to buy buildings to make the most money in the end-game. So I brute forced every action the player could take in relation to a certain building (the farms). Basically the player could either buy another farm, upgrade existing farms, or sell farms. I let this play out for 40 moves. 
     
    When I let the program run.... it eventually came up with a 20 GB text file. Yes, you read that correctly. A 20..... GB.... text file. I had to find a program to even open the damn thing let alone read it. (Vim works great for large files btw). Eventually, by including more strict conditions, (like not allowing the player to buy a farm then immediately sell it.) I got the file down to something more manageable (like 7 GB or so), then I ran my analysis program on it to determine which combination of moves was the best. That took all night, but eventually I solved it, and it made me so happy. But the scale of the whole project just amazed me. These dictionaries for passwords can be freaking MASSIVE. Turns out the answer was exactly the strategy that most people in the game already used. But I got  a lot of similar strategies so I was still happy.

    make sure you pre order. how much of your life do you want to look back on and it not have ray tracing in 1 game?

    I don't think Nvidia is scared when it comes to the 2080ti/2080. Not many gamers buy those when you compare it to sales of say the 1060. If AMD begins consuming low/mid-high range then Nvidia would have reasons to be scared.
