  1. Huh? That a pretty ridiculous statement to make. I love technology, but LN2 OC, Phase Change, and what not doesn't excite me in any way. Show me a super computer that uses sick cooling setup and actually does something meaningful then yeah I find that stuff cool. Doesn't make me any less of an enthusiast. That's like saying you're not into sports because you don't like baseball but like basketball and football instead. There more to technology or even CPUs than overclocking especially a completely non practical solution. Just because someone doesn't fall into your definition of enthusiast doesn't mean they aren't.
  2. Interesting but Teams is only available in the cloud and S4B is available On-Prem are they going to be bringing Teams On-Prem?
  3. Did I say that? Way to completely take my statement out of context and grossly exaggerate it. Quite frankly there isn't anything impressive about LN2 overclocking to me, other than the modification of the power delivery. It DOES NOT push the industry forward nearly in the same way F1 racing did for automobiles. Sure some people may find it fun, but I don't. Am I not allowed to have a different opinion? If you like LN2 overclocking good for you. I still don't see how this is news because it doesn't make Intel go out an engineer a new architecture based on how the cores OC'd on LN2, but hey maybe you know something that I don't. Nothing wrong with being an enthusiast. Side note there are some Olympic "sports" that are really silly (e.g. curling), I hope we can at least agree on that. There are some "extreme" sports that also boggle my mind, but w/e different strokes just like this scenario.
  4. The only good analogy there was the javelin throwing for the olympics. The other ones don't quite fit with this scenario, I understand your point but I truly don't see the point of LN2 overclocking and why this stuff makes news. It is cool-ish (pun intended) I guess.
  5. I mean his name is Master Disaster. Looks like he's just waiting for one. Actually know what although I don't like Nintendo I'm not sure how they infringed on their product in any way. And Texas the land of the patent trolls doesn't make it any better.
  6. Theadripper and Epyc have not been effected by the issue. Only normal Ryzen silicon have experienced the issues.
  7. It's because morons people in the US are more concerned about their political party affiliation and which media outlet, website, etc. plays for their team rather than facts.
  8. I can definitely agree that's pretty scummy, you should know it's an ad before you click on it. TPU should just put a policy in place to notify the reader that it's an ad before they click on it by calling it out in the title at least, or creating a section for sponsored content.
  9. How do you know you're interested in the article if you don't read the title? Do you really just click random articles? Dead serious question.
  10. Whose blind because even /r/Amd was not happy about that. One guy says what's the big deal and now AMD fanboys a blind? C'mon dude the general reaction to this is a negative one.
  11. Honestly, I don't think data collection is inherently bad either. However I look at it like this. They are literally double dipping. You are paying for an OS License (Well they did do the "free" upgrade) and then they are collecting your data and selling it too. Microsoft claims they aren't collecting any PII yet I've heard that they are collecting your MAC address which can easily be traced back to a specific user. In most scenarios nothing will ever come from them collecting your data until it falls into the wrong hands next you're dealing with identity theft, black mail (if you're in a privileged position) etc. Unlikely I know but it can happen and the more your data gets shopped around the more likely it can fall into the wrong hands and you can't expect every company to have proper security standards. I try my best to give as little data as possible. Not because of some conspiracy theory, but because I know how little these corporations actually put into information security plus I really don't need a bunch of businesses in my personal life. It's like how people cry for less government in their life but they are okay with businesses prying into our lives in the same way, nah not me.
  12. Well you are that important since they see fit to collect the data in the first place
  13. Kum and Go and Sheetz hahaha beautiful brand names that can be easily thrown together to mean something else. Anyway this will be something I will never use. It's nice to give people options, but idk who this is really for.
  14. It's unlikely a tech journalist will be playing 9 hours at a time, but who knows.
  15. I do not believe these are legit. Raja literally said the card is called RX Vega
  16. So someone educate me one this. We will have Kaby Lake -X and Skylake-X but also Skylake-E?
  17. Except Linux and MacOS scale perfectly? Your point?
  18. Their scaling implementation defeats the purpose of actually having a high resolution monitor. Also playing a game at higher scaling causes the picture to be blurry shitty looking when you try to run it at native res with windows scaling on, so as I said earlier shitty and pointless.
  19. If only windows scaled properly. Do disappointing. I have a 28 inch 4k monitor the UI scaling is abysmal.
  20. Except you know the fact that Windows 8.1 is still in mainstream support. Kaby and Ryzen aren't these new magical processors that cant support security patches and virus definition updates. It's bs.
  21. Of course they are cherry picked. They are selling a product and trying to retain customers.
  22. With respect to some of the Snowden leaks there have not been any reports of any terrorist attacks thwarted by their spying. Now for the CIA. There was also and article that was on a thread right here on LTT forums where there have been cases where the FBI has let people go because they wanted to keep how they got their evidence private. Even in the Snowden leaks they people in NSA were passing around photos of private citizen scooped up in their snooping. It shows that they have the capability, and if they have the capability they are doing it. That's how governments work of the major superpowers works. Now the CIA is obviously a different organization, but they are still organizations ran by people if you think they aren't overreaching, then you're just naive.
  23. Because the general public I will hold nothing back is VERY STUPID. They do not understand the implications at all Doesn't matter they still will not care. Shoot even millennials didn't seem to care when John Oliver showed his video to Snowden. Only until he mentioned dick pics they started to care. That is the level of stupidity we are talking about at this point.
