Why is it ridiculous? AMD are being assholes when it comes to naming schemes. Look at the X399 chipset for Threadripper (copying Intel's HEDT chipset naming scheme trend of X79, X99, X299), mid range consumer B350/B450 chipset (copying Intels naming scheme trend of B150, B250 chipsets). That has caused issue for Intel who had to change to B360 naming scheme to avoid customer confusion. They even did the same thing with the Ryzen 3, 5, 7, and 9 CPUs (copying Intel's i3, i5, i7, i9).

Then there are rumours that AMD will be naming their new graphics cards the RX 3080/RX3070 copying Nvidia's RTX2080/RTX2070/etc scheme? Yeah, of course Nvidia is going to do what they can to protect against that.

If Burger King released the "Bigger Mac" burger don't you think McDonalds would take action? The "Happier Meal"?
What if Kia released a sports sedan called the M3?

AMD are being petty. The only reason they are naming their product in that way are to steal the names used by the competition, either to cause issues for the competition or to confuse customers (probably both). There will probably be some consumers browsing newegg or amazon who may not know a lot about computers who will think "Oh, the RX 3080 is a bigger number than the RTX 2080, that must mean it's newer and better".
AMD need to just stick to their own naming scheme and worry about competing in terms of performance, not pulling stupid stunts like stealing competitors naming schemes.
Just call it the RX 600 series and follow the RX naming scheme from RX 200, RX 300, RX 400, RX 500.

Then again we thought the new RTX2080 was going to be called the GTX1180 until a few weeks before it launched, so who really knows. Let's wait and see if AMD gives an official announcement of the Navi GPU line up at Computex in a few days.

You mean they aren't just playing No Mans Sky out of the goodness of their heart?

Oh no, this has been predicted!

I hope these issues aren't going to turn out too big, or at least be able to be fixed with software (that doesn't lower the performance much), otherwise Intel will be somewhat screwed..
Or it turns out AMD also has these issues and it's evenly bad for both parties.

"World class packaging technology complements process leadership"

I think some of Microsoft's bad plans, of which there were many around the launch of Windows 10, have simply failed for long enough that there's no point in MS continuing to exert their energy with them. I don't think Microsoft has run out of stupid ideas, though.

I always find it funny that people on this forum seems to think that you are knowledgeable about hardware if you have memorized things you can read on the back of packaging for consumer electronics.
Like "yeah I know hardware, because I have memorized the frequency and model number of a bunch of AMD processors".

AMD has the bigger die ever since Nvidia gets the efficiency advantage. I think it's Kepler on low end and mid range cards, Maxwell on all cards.
 
Raijintek Morpheus ii is not impressed
 
Problem is they called it "why you shouldnt water cool your PC", challenging the concept of using liquid rather than the air for high heat output situations. For LMG's size I would have wanted at least 5 flagship models from both sides before they use names like that, but since they didnt I would expect them to use the best from both sides. But no, it's a mediocre AIO versus one of the most competitve air cooler. You can't just say "women run faster than men" by comparing a fat guy who never does any sport versus a female athelete right?

Yes, but you can buy a core i9 PC that isn't similarly designed and doesn't have this problem. You can't buy a core i9 macbook that doesn't have this problem.

Watch enough repair videos and you'll realize that Mac's are absolutely poorly designed in regards to thermal performance.
 
Their response is exactly the deluded and uneducated type of dribble I would expect.
 
1. Shrinking the die, as far as I am aware, reduces power consumption and ups efficiency.
2. Shrinking the die does not mean you have to cram more cores in there, to compensate. Because you haven't lost anything.
 
Really? You mean like that time they made a system that ran so hot, the BGA melted itself and popped the GPU off the board? And their fix?
 
Put a piece of rubber between the outer case and the GPU, so that it wouldn't pop loose. Edit: Instead of doing a proper soldering job in the fucking first place.

It's also worth noting that even if you are 100% focused on the road you may not be able to prevent an accident caused by the autopilot. Suppose the car is driving at 130km/h on a highway - if it suddenly swerved into the barrier or into another car the human driver wouldn't have the time to react appropriately.

Might be a poor joke but...

Look Ma, No hands!
 

Wait...
So, I can service my car, and could get it completely wrong and be a complete liability to everyone else on the road
Or I can rig a 50kg light poorly, so that it could fall on a person or two and kill them
But opening my phone? don't be ridiculous that could harm me.
LOGIC 

It really was $1,600 and not $16,000.

I don't see what you're trying to say. She was the last introduced hero and was featured in only 1 MCU movie previously (she technically wasn't in IW), there was no time to develop her character or to go through tragedies like Thor did. And why specifically those 2? 

EGS doesn't do regional pricing, and as a result games are typically more expensive on EGS than on Steam for customers outside of North America. GoG did regional pricing until EGS started undercutting them. At that point, GoG released an announcement saying that they can't operate at a profit while continuing to do regional pricing at rates competitive with EGS, and so they're cancelling their regional pricing program.
 
EGS' 12% fee isn't enough to cover transaction fees for all countries without having to add additional costs in some countries. So, that tells me that EGS couldn't possibly do regional pricing and keep their current fee system.
 
 
From Valve's 30/25/20/0% fee system, they:
 
Supply games for download
Have developed and supports a comprehensive feature set that Tim Sweeney has said he doesn't plan to match
Do lots of physical product R&D (Steam boxes, Steam link, Steam controllers, HTC Vive, etc)
Do lots of software R&D (linux gaming, Steam features)
Offers regional pricing
Allows publishers / developers to print as many free Steam keys for their games as they want and sell them elsewhere, with Valve taking 0% on all of those sales - some estimates suggest that 30% of all Steam games are bought on a site other than Steam, in which case Valve would be getting 0% revenue from 30% of the games they supply hosting, download, community features, support, etc, for.
 
 
With EGS's 12%/18% fee system, they:
 
Supply games for download
 
Here are some other interesting posts from the Twitter discussion where Tim said EGS would retreat from exclusives if Steam matches their 12%/18% fee:
 
(for a large version of the image, click it, then click it again, then click it one more time)
 

 
 
And this is another look at the claim that EGS is 12% compared to a supposed 30% on Steam. The entire thread has to be read:
 

It was worthy.
 
Like, I'm sitting here a day after I saw it and I'm still buzzing from the excitement. I'm 35 years old and I haven't felt this way about a movie since I saw Jurassic Park on opening day while I was still rocking single digits.
 
There is just so much to love about this movie. It was everything I hoped it would be and more. My favourite parts:
 
- Seeing the team dealing with the loss they suffered. It felt raw, it was hard to watch as Captain America desperately tried to keep up the facade that there is a positive here. It felt familiar to see Thor deal with his own depression in the exact same way I did 12 years ago - with an unhealthy dose of games, alcohol and junk food and accompanied by a handful of people he felt safe to be around. Tony lashing out after his return by saying out loud what he couldn't articulate on the ship. Poor guy must have been bouncing between "I failed the universe." and "Maybe we would have made it if the others had listened to me." for weeks.
- Captain Marvel emphasizing that her help was needed on a cosmic scale. I'm very glad that they didn't choose to limit her abilities, but rather have her availability be limited by her sense of duty.
- Some amazing jokes at exactly the right times. The movie is an emotional rollercoaster that knows when to pull at the heartstrings and when to poke at the funny bone. "America's Ass" probably is my favourite out of all of them.
- Frigga. She knows bad shit is going to happen and she knows exactly what the Thor in front of her needs to give him a foothold to pull himself out of his depression: He needs to be told that he is still worthy, that he still has a purpose.
- The call-backs to other MCU films were great. Cap winding up in an elevator with Rumlow and a bunch of Hydra agents (and then subverting the expected beatdown by referencing Secret Empire).
- "On your left." I knew as soon as it was Cap, Thor and Iron Man against Thanos that the cavalry was going to arrive when Thanos seemed to have the upper hand. Never in a million years would I have imagined it to be this badass only to be topped off by the most teased pairing of words in cinema since 2012.
- Rescue. It's about time that we actually got a more comic-accurate Pepper. She was one of the few things that made me actively dislike the Iron Man films up to this point.
- Vision was one of my favourite MCU characters, so seeing him die twoce at the end of Infinity War was not fun for me. Seeing angry Wanda exact her revenge on Thanos to the point where he has to resort to nuking her from lower orbit was incredibly satisfying.
- Captain Marvel not being the Deus Ex Machina that I feared she might be, given her power level. She showed up when she had to and had a great 1v1 fight with Thanos. I loved the fact that he hit her in the face only for her to completely no-sell it and that Thanos showed his pragmatism by directly (and successfully) adapting his strategy. Thanos is far more than just a physical powerhouse and you need more than just raw power to beat him. I also loved that she didn't "overstay her welcome." Don't get me wrong, I love the character and the possibilities for the franchise going further (Cosmic Marvel is the shit, IMO), but this film is the culmination of the storylines told across 21 movies and 10 years. I am very happy that it stands as a celebration of all that came before, and not just have the new hotness steal the show at the last minute. 
- Valkyrie on a pegasus. 'Nuff said!
- Tony Stark having gone from unrepentant selfish A-hole to saving the universe. His journey was one of a selfish man learning to become selfless for the greater good, and it came together in the best possible way.
- The entirety of the denouement, with everybody (including the kid from Iron Man 3) honouring the fallen hero and Cap getting the happy ending he never dreamed he would have.
 
I could go on for quite some time. I will say, though, that I know one particular scene will probably be criticized to death. Yes, it was gratuitous, yes it was pandering and no, it probably wasn't necessary because the film would have run just fine without it. You know what it was, though? It was still badass to see every single female hero that is currently alive in the MCU do what they're good at.
The MCU is many things for me, but above all it is a way to enjoy the stories that I read as a kid on screen as an adult. For decades I have had to endure yelling from studio executives that "Comic book movies make no money!" only for that to be turned into an entertainment subgenre that includes 8 titles in the top 20 highest grossing films of all time. After that, the yelling shifted to "Okay, but it needs to be well-known heroes like Batman and Superman!" Both of whom are playing second fiddle to the likes of Guardians of the Galaxy and even Ant-man in terms of tickets sold. I hope that scenes like this one can show that it's not important what skin colour or gender the main character has because in the past 3 years, we've seen Wonder Woman become the 10th highest grossing film of 2017, Black Panther the second highest-grossing film of 2018 behind Infinity War and currently Captain Marvel as either the highest grossing in 2019 or second highest if you read this after the opening weekend for Endgame has passed. 
As a kid, I wanted to read about Spider Man and Batman because they were Spider Man and Batman, not because they were men. It's 2019, why is it so hard to learn that we're a few decades past the point where having a certain actor star is enough to sell a movie?  

The same could be said about Guardians of the Galaxy coming across Thor's destroyed Asgard ship in Infinity War. 
 
One would have to assume that at some point Tony and Nebula had to put an SOS signal and the ship being what it is (not Earth tech), it probably had a range of one or two galaxies.
 
Most of it isn't even new to Cpt. Marvel. EVERY superhero has moments when at one point writers give them some ability only to disregard it later because it's convenient. Ofc you would only go after Danvers because this is the cool thing to do now but let me give you some other examples.
 
1. Thanos, who could sometimes use the stones and sometimes couldn't or for some reason wouldn't. Let's face it, if he used reality stone more often there wouldn't even be a movie.
2. Doctor Strange who wouldn't use his Time Stone during a normal fight even once
3. Spider-Man being able to catch a speeding car or a falling car with his bare hands and sometimes being shown weaker than Cpt. America
4. Tony Stark and his suit which could take Thor's hammer to the chest in the Avengers but would fall apart from a kick of some not even that much overpowered dude in Iron Man 3
5. Thanos who could physically beat Hulk into submission with his bare fists and yet couldn't one shot Steve Rogers
6. Steve Rogers who could somehow take on Thanos in limited capacity but in his own movies had one on one fights with some algierian bozo and not being able to finish the fight in like 5 seconds.
7. Thor who could summon the Bifrost with his weapon but ofc used it only once in previous movie when it was convenient.
 
And these are only examples from MCU. Superhero movies are PLAGUED with situations where one person is given some kind of ability and there are scenes just to show it off when it fits the script only to be omitted when the script calls for something else.
 
The classic example is Spider Sense in Toby Maguire versions. Showing how he can sense a mosquito falling and how everything is in slow motion for him because he senses it all and his reaction speed is so great but he gets clocked to the head on regular basis by things that shouldn't have even hit him.
 
To be honest I find it funny that these are the things you are going for when arguing that she somehow ruined the movie - most people were afraid that she will be this one woman army rendering the rest of the team pointless, doing everything on her own, killing Thanos with her bare fists etc. and here you are, complaining that they tamed her a bit in order to not make it a one woman show ?
 
If anything, Wanda came closer to killing him than any other hero there ?

I just came home from watching Avengers: Endgame with my family. It was probably my favorite movie of the year, and could possibly even be in my all time top 3.
 
I'm gonna put my whole thoughts in a spoiler just in case (text heavy):
 
 

The graph in itself is super fucking weird. The data they chose to represent is super weird. I get having "girls" (women) as a category, but it's directly compared against things like "people who work out 4 times a week". There's no comparison to "Men". They have "Men who have a wife" category... But no other relationship status? Women who are married? Men who are single? Nope...
Whoever created this graph was very selective with what data they chose to represent and how it was represented, in an attempt that I can only assume is to engineer a particular result.

Then there's the fact that the results shown in the graph are ordered by how much they improved by, except for the Women category which is out of place and placed next to the lowest scores (where by contrast it makes it look much larger). Then for whatever reason they changed the colour of the bar in the graph for the women results, and even added a huge graphic next to the "girls" result.

People criticise Nvidia for useless fucking graphs, but this is just as bad.

Same results but this time all the results are ordered, and there are no special graphics or different coloured bars to make certain results stand out. Doesn't look so exciting now, does it?

 
 
Where's the news articles for "Survey proves shut-ins are the best gamers!"? /s
 

Imagine paying $2000+ for the Galaxy Fold when you can get a better experience for half the price. 
 
Seriously, pick your favorite smartphone (in my case the iPhone 8 Plus) and just buy an iPad. 
 
iPhone 8 Plus: $699 
iPad: $329
Total: $1,028
 
Boom, saved $1K and you have a way better user experience.
 
The technology behind folding displays is cool and should be developed more. But the concept of a folding phone is flawed. 

Your profile pic fits the news perfectly.

Today I've recieved one of the last parts for my "not really budget" upgrade


M.2 waterblock from China
it is RGB?
PS The last part has arrived, it is very heavy and a bult like a tank. The system rebuild will start within a week time

People. The OP isn't implying that disabled people are a race. The OP is implying that Kotaku UK was accused of racism because a Japanese singer mangled pronunciation of an English word and they turned it into something about the song intentionally insulting disabled people because of the mangled pronunciation. Reading comprehension helps, yo.
