Which would imply to a consumer that it isn't a part of the "premium" brand therefore influencing purchasing decisions.

Fair enough. Personally a vita is actually a pretty nice portable and it's more comfortable in the hand than a 3ds. If only Sony got the support Nintendo did. OT: As long as MS forks over the money anyone will sell. I find all three scenarios unlikely to be honest.

Get one for cheap on ebay. I bought 2 on ebay.

They have already began using their custom benchmarking suite for new ssds. The article was published back in October of 2017. Prior to that they did the review of the 600p using the old methodology. All subsequent ssd reviews including the Samsung 860 EVO/PRO vs 850 EVO/PRO use this new testing methodology. -
The journalistic ethics specifically states that they SHOULD avoid topics they have an interest in, not that they HAVE to. While it can call into question their journalistic integrity, the main issue is that the article did not disclose the use of data from the white paper. I did not read the whitepaper so I do not know if they copied and pasted full sections (which is even more damning if you ask me). From an admittedly quick glance I do not see any glaring similarities, but I have to go through the text to truly determine that. PcPer's initial optane receive of the 600p basically showed it getting spanked by other SSDs due to their testing methodology. They created a new testing methodology, which they are using to for all their future reviews. The new methodology does not paint the competing products in a negative fashion so the use of white paper data is not a problem in my eyes. The only issue is the lack of disclosure. Whether or not Allyn worked on the review is irrelevant if they were going to use the same testing methodology to begin with for all future reviews of SSDs, the numbers would be within the margin of error. We need to focus on the lack of disclosure (which looks to be an oversight) all other points are quite frankly moot when the content of the review can't even be called into question especially when other independent outlets achieved similar results and conclusions.

Myself nor my friends have touched this game since we all went on Christmas break and we don't seem to be coming back to it because they literally stripped out all the D1 features and are now putting them back in D2. Why on earth would they think that removing literally everything that people liked about D1 and not adding anything new other than subclasses would be a good thing? I do not know.

Sadly it seems everyone is glossing over that point. All the press I've seen around this hasn't been fixated on the girls. It has been about twitch's uneven enforcement on many primarily male streamers for even criticizing that type of content (not even attacking particular streamers just voicing their opinions overall). Banning them for 24 hours and even a week, but then turning around and allowing people to have "accidental nip-slips" and even a chick "masturbating" on stream and that's only a 24 hour ban......That's the problem. I could give two shits about what these streamers do it is about how twitch is dealing with it. It's clear that they favor one group and not the other.

This isn't about rights. If it was a right then tell all the carriers to not log that info, and 911 operators shouldn't either but we aren't given that choice, so why crucify Google and not the other parties involved?
-
Because of fear mongering about big brother. We are not talking about whether or not they are turning it off that's not relevant to any of our points.
-
You turned off Android location services your location with regards to the cell towers you connect to will always be reported whether it's to the carrier or 911 operator. That doesn't get turned off because idk? Safety. Google was collecting that data. The article treats those services as if they are one in the same and it is not. Do I think Google should collect it anyway? No not without asking, but this is overblown.
-
*facepalm* These are the same services used by 911 operators to find your approximate location in the event of an emergency. It really isn't much of an issue tbh. Does Google need this information? No but there is far more benefit than not. Google's software is probably more sophisticated than what you would find in most 911 operators places and even the carriers (Who also collect that data btw). These stories about this are very misleading.

Which in this market it is Intel.

What...How did you extrapolate my statement to that........Never said they were, never said it wasn't we both know they want to be able to access any phone whenever they want, but as it currently stands from what the public knows they can't because if it could they wouldn't need to serve Apple warrants it would just go through the secret court. There could have been legal red tape that stopped law enforcement from just sliding a dead man's finger on the phone while his body was still warm, a prosecutor would have a field day with something like that man. Also the feds got involved local authorities may have had to wait for them to respond before analyzing the scene.
-
Wait didn't they offer help already for the iCloud data? Also I don't think it is as simple as taking his finger and placing it on while he's still warm. There's probably some legal red tape somewhere that stops them from doing that because AFAIK he had his phone on him.
-
Hmmm okay I guess they were reporting that it would ship Radeon Graphics on the actual chip, but I was under the impression that the news was reporting that intel cpus would ship "with" Radeon Graphics, Ugh corporate semantics is so frustrating.
-
Well I never how can you be so rude! NVidia is no not just simple disease it's the plague /s. You had me almost laughing out loud in the middle of work man. OT: Interesting Intel and AMD totally both denied this viciously a month or two ago now its apparently happening. Why lie? Just own up to it if it leaked that early.
-
Then they that would increase the gulf between the 1080 and 1080ti. I don't think they wanted to disrupt that sweet cash flow.
-
Obligatory Where's mah RGB! All jokes aside I'd love some RGB Noctua fans. A clean RGB setup is sweet looking.
-
You can turn off (and i really mean off) telemetry if you have an enterprise license. I for sure know the US military has specialized contracts worked out with MS to ensure that a proper windows installation suitable for their use case is installed.

You and me both was really excited then crushed.
-
If the technology improves enough they will eventually be able to tell the difference since they do have minor facial differences. It'll be cool to see that degree of accuracy.

What do we expect him to use a dead end product like windows phone?

i9-7980XE: Overclocked to run all 18 cores beyond 6 GHz
FratStar replied to marcintosch's topic in Tech News
Yep that's why I wrote show me a supercomputer (could just be servers) that have sick cool so it could be LN2 or Phase change then I'm excited when it's just extreme OC'ing for the hell of it. It's alright just not all that exciting for me really. Not that I would disrespect the effort they put in. I most certainly can't achieve what they do so there is merit to their work. -
When you put it that way it is a little more exciting that I initially made it seem An 8 core jump on the HEDT platform is huge the 2 core jump on coffee lake honestly I feel like they weren't planning on it until cannon lake, but knew they could make the jump anyway. The bench marks for the 8700K while not groundbreaking is actually a little more than I expected if some of these numbers are to be believed. You and me both! I'll settle for the 1700X until I can afford the HEDT platform. I have too many expensive hobbies.

The Ryzen Effect TM At the end of the day I'm happy to see intel moving finally. CPUs are a little more exciting nowadays albeit still not VERY exciting but ignoring the market is no longer an option.
