Ran a test with CS-GO and AMD wattman the other day. Think the GPU might be throttling some. Plan for today is to power down and clean.

Is faster ram a thing with AMD A10 series? Found some info that it helps with APU performance not really CPU in the A10

Just downloaded the new AMD driver off to test that.

If that existed in Europe that would be perfect for us.

Wurth is a large tool/parts supplier in Europe. They are world wide in fact. They undoubtedly they have a system.

But still were are talking about foxconn, the same company that had to put anti suicide nets on it buildings.

And the Isheep got outraged then bought the next IPhone. 

Got back in to gaming a couple weeks ago and been having some problems with my fps.  Not the best system but things don't seem right.

System Dell Inspiron 2656

AMD A10-8700p

Redeon R9 360

8gb ddr3 1600 mHz

2TB spinning disk.

Samsung SyncMaster 206sw monitor 

BF3 runs at a average of 40 fps  no mater what I set graphics to low, medium, high or ultra.

CS-Go is all over the place. Most of the time in game it is about 40-50 fps but it sometimes drops real bad to under 20 fps or will spike up over a hundred.    

Where some of the accusations not that Huawei was spying with the hardware not the software?

This is China.  In (for my own example) America we (see also, people who like to get upset about things out of their control but don't actually get upset about things IN their control) get a stick up our ass about all these fallacies that occur but gladly get that next iPhone, Mac, without ACTUALLY giving a shit.

 

I get so tired of people pretending to give a shit.

You are not actually suggesting that people do something. All current society asks is that you get outraged and make people aware. Then you can go on with your day and feel good. 

Not to highjack. I remember back in the day using the sound card for the gaming sound then running music off of the onboard sound and a second set of speakers.    This still a thing? Maybe why he is looking at a sound card.

4gb model is very sold out everywhere, Id recommend getting the 2gb and no less if you want to retro game as emulators will most likely use the extra memory

Not in a rush. Probably hold out for a 4gb model then.

those are great news, how are you cooling the overclocked pi? i really want to buy one to run pure linux, tools, disk management and that sort of stuff one misses when using windows only

Can't remember who makes it or where I seen it for sale. But someone makes a proper CPU cooler for. Heat pipe fin stack and little fan.

Why not get some refurbished desktop or laptop for 75-100$?

 

ex

55$ for Dell Latitude 2120 - Intel Atom N550 1.50 GHz - 2 GB RAM - 250 GB HDD - [ N/A ] - Windows 7 Professional: https://www.newegg.com/black-dell-latitude-2120-everyday-value/p/1TS-000A-00YY1?Item=9SIAD0K7DD3516

add a 64-120GB ssd and 2 gb of ram and you're golden

 

70$ for HP 6470B Probook 14" B-Grade I3-3110M 2.4GHZ 4GB 320GB Windows 7 Professional (No Webcam) : https://www.newegg.com/p/1TS-000D-02CW5?Item=9SIA6A373F5106

 

I might do that for home as I can probably build something out of parts on hand. But will be much bigger then the Pi already have to much stuff in and around the TV stand.

Second would be nice to travel with it sometimes.  

Thinking of getting of getting a Raspberry Pi to stream TV and run as a emulator/ DOSBox.  What one should I get 1, 2 or 4gb model?

By locks in I assume you mean the type that have a little flat spring in the tube to hold the cleaning rod?  Yours could be missing, bent or broken.

Except they are not, and why wait for another child to die of a vaccine preventable illness to do something proactive about the issue?  I don't believe any one has the right to misinform people with intent to harm, I see it exactly the same as inciting a riot. 

 

Again, no one is being arrested and nobody is stopping the protestors,  because everyone is defending a persons right to freedom of speech that they are allowing the protests to stay with all their intent until the event is shut down or a child dies or a bloke is shot by police, then everyone cries established corruption rather than dealing with the actual problem before it starts.  

That's because we as a society are acting like just as big of idiots. First you have the if we are nice maybe they will just go away group. "Maybe if we are nice to ISIS they will just go away." Then there are the self loathers. " OMG I never did like rap music I must be a racist"  Then there are the ban something problem solved group. Right now there are probably thousands of idiots feeling all warm and fuzzy because there are no more Nazis now that 8chan has been banned.

To me those are both more worthwhile and more effective than sitting here defending their right to say stupid shit hoping that logic wins out.

I think this can be summed up as. We believe in your right to say dumb shit, but we also believe we have a right to hold you accountable for your dumb shit.

But you can help to mitigate the damage they do by stopping them from doing it again.  Which is significantly more effective than trying to convince them to stop it.

 

 

 

So your issue is with my use of the term dumb shit?   By dumb shit I mean literally dangerous activities that cause harm.  Defamation in my world is dumb shit,  antivaxxer activity is dumb shit,  calling for a riot telling people you have proof all *insert race here* have been victims of police brutality, is dumb shit.   

 

Threatening violence at a campus speaking event in order to have it shut down is dumb shit.  In my mind there is absolutely nothing wrong with stopping those people from doing that when they are. 

So the correct response to inciting a riot is not to ban them from Facebook, but to arrest them for inciting a riot.

Same as there correct response to threating violence on campus if you don't get you way. Should be.  Don't come crying to us when campus police pepper spray your dumb ass.

so why do we still have antivaxxer's successfully convincing people to not vaccinate their kids? why do we still have kids dying at the hands of this extreme misinformation?  because free speech does not mean people are smart enough to know when they are wrong, being duped or to shut up.  Antivaxxer's have been debunked easily ample times, but it does nothing because some people just refuse to accept reality (most of them are con artists who make money from it). 

 

You don't ask a murderer not to do it again and then let them go back into society, you don't ask a pedophile to stop it and let them go, so why let a repeat offender that is intentionally trying to manipulate people with what has been debunked ample times before and proven to be dangerous?  

 

So as I pointed out, sometimes the person deserves to be shut down, because the fear of what they are saying is genuinely a threat to many people.

 

 

Honestly, as soon as the discussion becomes about free speech people suddenly forget that speech is not a benign activity, they pretend it has no ability to influence or change anything.  If anyone genuinely believes that speech does not have this power then think about why there are so many laws that centre around defamation, libel, false advertising etc. 

Simply playing whack a mole with where they post the BS is not going to stop the misinformation ether.  Couple of dozen antivaxxer's/magic healers up on charges for practicing medicine without a licence or getting there bum sued off all covered by the news would probably be a good start.

They were put into power because realistically there was no one there to oppose them. They literally beat up opponents, or threatened people's families if they voted for the opposition, or even made people disappear (meaning: murder). They frightened away most opposition and threatened anyone who would dare vote for what little opposition remained.

 

That is the fear here. Some big company could pull a Hitler not with a goon squad beating up and killing people but with there power and money. 
 

This whole problem is a catch 22. Mega monopolistic companies that can shape or drive society in one direction are not a good idea. However the only thing you can counter that with is more government and suppressing rights. Also not good.

ha and you would trust russia not to spy on everything you do.

I believe that was meant to be sarcastic. With people recommending that you get a VPN outside the 5 eyes. With the VPN outside the 5 eyes the US government might not be spying on you but that doesn't mean China, Russia, NK, Iran or your own VPN aren't spying on you.     

That message was saved as a file in windows. Friends and I used to edit them all the time in high school. Had great fun.

This is interesting because, on the flip side, leaving an open platform makes it easier for people to push their hateful or misinformed ideologies upon others. Take flat earthers and anti-vaxxers, I feel having such an open internet has made it that much easier for them to spread disinformation and make the problem worse than it initially was. Not only, but these people have managed to create their own echo chambers on websites like Facebook and Twitter, so we can't ban a particular website, we'd have to ban the ability of the misinformed and hateful to communicate altogether if this is the route we take (not that we should).

And there in lies the problem who gets banned, removed or censored and how much.  I remember people talking some months back about some right wing talk show on YouTube getting there whole channel deleted at the same time as one of the way way out there Anti-vaxxers merely had her channel demonetized. Doctors where pushing to have her removed as it was not just your run of the mill toothpaste causes Autism BS but things that could actually harm/kill people. The talk show had maybe somehow had a fan doxx someone I didn't really fallow it.  When you try to censor you are bound to be seen as backing the opposite side. I am sure the far left thinks Facebook is just full of southern bible thumping gun toting rednecks and the right thinks its full of communist LGBT vegans.  

Hopefully any moderation will fall in the center but it can sometime be hard to see where center is. Sometimes one side can be very loud but it doesn't make there message true.

Censorship by the government, I entirely agree with, is bad.

 

However, a private company (and yes, that includes "Public Corporations") can do whatever they want, as long as it's not breaking any laws. And in this case, should a company like Cloudflare decide they no longer wish to do business with 8chan? So be it. That's their legal right.

 

I wouldn't shed a tear if 8chan (and sites like it) disappeared because enough people didn't want to do business with them, but the reality is that they'll find some corner to survive in, if there's enough support.

 

Edit: And from my experience, trying to talk most of the people like that out of their thinking simply doesn't work.

I think the point that is trying to be made is that we have come to a point where it is not just socially acceptable but socially encouraged to hate whatever the mob tells us. 75 years later you can basically label anyone particularly anyone German a Nazi  and nobody cares. Never been to 8chan and never heard of it. Heard of 4chan and heard it was a cesspool. Apparently it is puppies and kittens compared to 8chan so don't care. However if Cloudflare had terminated hosting for say all of the US democratic party because of there stance on illegal immigration. Do you think people would rush to there defence and say there a private company they can do as they wish or do you thing there would be riot police and teargas and pepper spray blowing in the air outside Cludflare HQ    

This might not be the best battle to fight but it is part of a larger war. A war where people are told it is ok to blindly hate because the mob tells them so.

Thank you for the info. Do you know the name of the company in UK?

Can't think of the name. Was over there 3-5 years ago doing some work and seen the company then. Quick google turns up a number for "tool vending machines UK"

Think one of the big US players call there system AutoCrib as in Automated tool crib so searches like that might help. 

Many offer a number of types of machines from standard vending machine like you would get a bag of chips from or simple touch screen unlocking the drawers of a Lista type cabinet. To systems that control big banks of lockers.

The studies on this are quite robust and pretty conclusive. There is no correlation. Shooters are found to play videogames because unfortunately they tend to be young people without a solid social sphere.

No, this "both sides" bullshit is just the excuse Trump uses to cover his ass. Politically motivated terror in the west in the past few years has been exclusively right wing. The democrats aren't great, but there really is no comparison - republicans are an order of magnitude worse. I defy you to find a single politically motivated leftist mass shooting in the west in the last decade. Or a leftist rally where a car charged into the crowd killing a person and injuring many others. I can easily provide examples of both on the right.

There was a number of Police officers shot in attacks after the left pushed it's "All cops a racists that just drive around looking for African Americans to shoot"  idea out there.

According to the latest WAN show. LMGs merch store is a separate company and they plan to do just that with their lessons learned. I am excited for the plan to support Floatplane merch officially. Would be pretty awesome if all the channels on FP were supported through a single merch company. Shipping would drastically improve by then. After all these years, all the staff has become so skilled. It's very exciting how many areas they can branch off into now that they have the talent, time and income for.

Caught that to.  Shipping could be the big thing.  Doesn't make sense for LTT to have a merch warehouse in say Europe. But if it is not just LTT merch but if its LTT/Floatplane and a bunch of YouTube/ Floatplane friends. That may work.

I see them being able to provide services instead of acquiring channels. The videos where Linus builds people servers is an example. Providing tutorials/solutions on data security, improving workflow and overall being more of a managerial beast for smaller channels. This could happen in the far future, but currently they are really busy with videos everyday and plenty of ideas for cool videos that involve specific talents of their staff that they would not be able to be without for extended periods to provide the services.

 

The talent LMG has is insane and their skills have grown significantly since they started. If they ever needed to branch out into other content or Linus gets bored again then its highly possible to go this route. But doubtful anytime soon.

I see services for Youtubers/Floatplane peeps. Having problems shooting good video. LMG will FedEx you  overnight one Brandon Lee, some camera gear, a case of Madrinas LTT cold brew and a case of Savage jerky.  Need help editing? Book skype classes with Taran. Need help marketing yourself? The LMG marketing team will help you sell yourself and get those sweet sweet sponsorship dollars. Need merch. The LMG merch team of designers, sourcing specialists and fulfillment centers will help you get all those cases of T-shirts the hell out of your garage.
