    Honestly depending on price, I'll be upgrading my 3700x to a 4000 series 12 core (or more) CPU. I thought 8 cores would be enough for motion graphics (it is in most cases), but I really would like to boost that preview and render speed a liiiiittle bit more. Although for now, it is a very nice step up from my 4790K. Let's also hope that Zen 3 12 core CPUs will play nicely with my X470 board.

    My first computer was a Sager laptop with a 7970m in it. Was an absolute beast for a laptop, on stable drivers... That thing a headache whenever updating drivers. Every single time I wanted to update the drivers, i would NEED to use DDU or else major issues would happen. And even then sometimes DDU wasn't the savior, the drivers were just completely faulty.

    Thanks, but I'll stick to the feature rich Vivaldi that performs amazingly.

    Glad to see another Fox Stevenson listener!

    This is likely intended for users with only 8GB of RAM and a 4c/4t CPU that want to play their AAA games without severely nerfing their in-game performance just by having the browser open. Neat feature tbh.

    Good, exactly what Google wanted. More time spent on their website.

    Yea, the linked source was updated 5 days ago. Just a late post from OP!

    So if one VPN hands over stuff for illegal activity then they all must do that right? They're all the same... Right? -.-
  11. PHYLO
    But if no one can tell what you're doing initially by using a VPN (which is exactly what it does), it makes a LOT harder for them to find evidence enough to force these companies to hand over any data. A VPN certainly does secure your footprint up front. These VPN companies aren't monitoring your usage. They aren't seeing "oh look this guy is downloading a movie" or whatever. They're not out there to hand you over to the government or whatever entity, otherwise they would lose their customers quite fast. So the argument that the push to use a VPN is just a scare tactic falls apart right at the gate.

    Ah, so you think everyone's recording what you're doing regardless of whether they state they keep logs or not? Seems like you trust absolutely no one on this world.
  13. PHYLO
    Do you trust them less than your government...? Anyway, I suggest Torguard to anyone. They've got very consistent speeds and higher speeds than NordVPN in my area. They don't have the prettiest GUI but the functions are amazing. Cheaper than NordVPN too.

    Again, never had an issue with their customer service and nor have my acquaintances. YMMV.

    Gigabyte and AORUS cards come with a full extra year of warranty (4 years total compared to the competition's 3 years) vs all the other competitions after registering the product online. That is a huge selling factor and I'm surprised not many people (if any at all) are mentioning that in reviews.

    Yea, but lets forget about MSI's crappy 5700/5700XT Evoke, EVGA's huge GTX 900 series heatsink screw up, and ASUS overpriced cards for something that looks "cooler" than the others. I've never had an issue with Gigabyte and neither has a single one of my friends. Just a senseless hate train for the company from people saying they screw up more than other manufacturers (which is, uh... false...).

    It's 2019, these specs do not warrant a $699 price tag at all. You can get a OnePlus 7T for the same dang price. I just got an S10+ for $799 and it just completely wipes the floor against this thing. What. A. Joke. This is a cash grab for the developing team behind this. "We'll price it high so we profit either way. If we don't sell many units we won't go through for a second revision of the phone. But if we do then sure we'll give a shot at it next year! The former's the likeliest outcome. But hey, we'll still profit!"

    Been using Vivaldi on my PC for over a year. Absolutely love the features it provides without the bull-crap Google tracking/spying stuff. I have yet to come across a Chrome extension that didn't work with it either. Really excited to finally be able to use it on my phone and fully utilize the sync function!

    Where is evidence of this? To my knowledge (and a lot of others) they sell their highest binned chips to aftermarket vendors (ASUS, EVGA, MSI, Gigabyte, etc.)... Although I will agree with others, the FE ever since the 10XX series have been great for the value.

    Not gonna lie, I liked their naming scheme for Android versions.

    Woah... Those HHKB are sleeeeek and nice. Why in the heck do they have the cable going out towards the mouse side though?

    Pre-built mechanical prices, not custom built. I know custom built can be triple the price, but it is a very niche hobby. lol
  23. PHYLO
    Agreed, 100%. Btw, have you had experience with Kailh switches? How do they compare to Cherry MX? I've only had extensive use with Cherry MX Brown and Logitech Romer G switches, but have felt other Cherry switches in Microcenter.

    I definitely agree their software and customer support is very good. Their software has never given me any issues with the keyboard I own (1st gen K70 and G413), which is rare for peripheral software in my experience. Almost all other peripheral software outside of Corsair has been buggy or just doesn't work... So kudos to that. I remember when the highest price for a mechanical keyboard was like $120 5 years or so ago, and that seemed crazy. Now it's upwards of $230!!!! Sheeeeesh. lol
  25. PHYLO
    The price for these premium keyboards have gotten absolutely ridiculous...
