Not really they won't restart it but it's moving the servers to SBG4 and RBX/GRA and then the rest of SBG1 will go to the future SBG5. The founder Octave Klaba has been pretty good with the work update on twitter.

Not sure why people always calling clickbait what was clickbait about this title? or the video with the perf of the new Ryzen 5000 cpu of course the new cpu server would be good, welle even if we haven't seen real benchmark from anyone else than AMD it does make sense no?

The crypto miner problem didn't happen just on nox emulator and it had nothing to do with the program itself. I've tried a lot of android emulator and Nox downloaded from the official website is fine and actually uses the less resources. But you need to get rid off the nox launcher and use nova instead.

I've been running for years a graphic card PCI-e 3 on a PCI-e 2 motherboard and I never had any problem, you don't get the max perf on the gpu but that's it.

Nvidia msrp in Europe for the 3060 TI FE is 419€ so when seeing that the aib card prices are really a joke the lowest price in Euros I have seen is 499€ for a Zotac card and the most expensive the ROG Strix at 650€, that's not really the price of the mid range card.

Thank you. got me on the right trail. Looked up some models and it seems like an old JVC/alpine CD changer unit used in my E34.

any idea when reviewer will be able to give us their benchmark?

Reading about the card from different countries, the card was so fast out of stock and really not many people who wanted the card for them got one but you have plenty on ebay or ebay like website all other the place.... and as long as some people are ready to buy the card at 50% or more the real value, it will always be more expensive than it really is and it's not like a graphic card is an investment in 5 years it will be worth nothing...

All news has a bias. Everyone has a type of bias

Wouldn't a VA monitor be better than TN if you can't afford an IPS?

The TV looks pretty good for sure but 6k euros when it's 5.5k US $ (I mean even with the taxes in Europe are higher with the change that's 4.6k euros...), it does feel like a lot and I installed a Samsung 82" a couple of years ago the one connect box is way better for TV that are that flat even you usually don't plug and unplug new stuff often it still makes it easier.
Linus been busy with AC and the living room, I really like the floor color but the white couch that's just crazy.

I'm older than Linus.
 
These are the things I distinctly remember being "a big deal"
 
1. 386 (32-bit), but because this was 1987 it didn't actually end up in peoples computers because at this point in time PC/XT/AT's were not even that common. So let me use a point of reference. Both the middle school (grade 7 and 8 ) and the high school, had 386's even in 1998, that's a full 5 years, they were still deploying 386's in the library when the pentium 75's were put into service in 1996.
2. Hard drives. I kid you not, 1988 dad bought a Tandy 1000, and "memory" was synonymous with both RAM and Disk drive at that point in time. The computer didn't come with a hard drive but did come with an 8-bit expansion card that brought it to 640K.
3. RLL hard drive controller. You may just want to read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Run-length_limited as all I can remember the "big deal" bit was that it turned existing ST506 MFM drives into 50% higher capacity drives and it predated what we now call PATA IDE. You can find some usenet sources from 1993 even making a big deal about this. Anyway the 286 had been configured this way.
4. Sound cards. 386-era. If you had a Tandy 1000 or a PCjr, you had a 3-voice pc-speaker that could play three square wave or noise channels at once. This was neat, but exactly as impressive as the sega master system as that was the same audio chip. The Adlib came out in 1987, but I only ever saw two of these ever. One was in a computer at Radio Shack which was demo'ing lemmings and holy crap was that impressive for the time. however it wasn't until the Sound Blaster in 1989 that things really changed. But I'm getting ahead of myself.
 
The first PC game I heard with adlib music was Lemmings, but the first game I heard with the sound blaster was Ecoquest with the dolphin yelling "I got it" full blast. The other game that kinda made me fly off the chair was Ultima 7's "AVATAR" during the opening. Both of these games had only been played before with the PC Speaker on a 386.
 
5. The 486DX66, the first "clock doubled" CPU. Also the DX models had an integrated FPU. So now you could do CAD at home. Likewise the DX4 model (clock tripled). So these were basically known as the 486DX33, 486DX2/66 and 486DX4/100 (really 99.) This is when DOS games started to malfunction and turning Turbo off only turned off the L1 cache. At this point in time Cyrix and AMD released 486-pin compatible "586" processors which lead to...
6. Intel giving their 5th generation CPU the brand "Pentium" in 1993, F00F and FDIV bugs were notorious, but the Pentium 90's FDIV ... in CAD machines was really a catastrophic mistake (something Intel should have learned from, but clearly has not.)
7. The BX chipset (Pentium II), this is literately the standard that all current PC's emulate in their virtual machines.
8. ATX layout boards. Prior to this you had AT and BabyAT boards, and the super io had to be on a separate card (That would be the serial ports, parallel port and PATA IDE drives), until ATX, you had to waste one or two slots on these cards, and they would be on PCIe, VLBus or even ISA cards.
9. DRAM, FPDRAM, EDO RAM, SDR, DDR, DDR2, DDR3, DDR4 RAM generations. SDRAM might be the first time that RAM wasn't a supreme pain in the ass to find. DDR applied the same clock doubling first seen with the 486DX2, and we were then off to the races of which memory tech was better. Rambus nearly screwing us...
10. Intel's Pentium 4. RAMBUS SUCKS. The i820 Memory translator hub was garbage. Intel blunder strikes again.
11. The Pentium II and Pentium III (and Athlon) all came out on slot CPU cards, which also came with required heatsinks and fans, where as all previous chips required after-market coolers, which typically had the fans gum up after a few years. But at the time replacing the fans was easy because they were a standard hobby-electronics style fan screwed directly onto the heatsink.
12. USB (1998.) Enough said. Basically pushed by Apple, and never seen on the vast majority of pre-ATX systems.
13. SATA (2003.) Enough said, with SATA a much faster interface and less obnoxious cabling scheme was standard. Both PATA and SCSI involved thick cables that were super-difficult to manage and often too long or too short.
14. Integrated GPU's. Beginning with Intel's i810 (1999), Intel moved to their new "hub" architecture, or a fancy name of calling the south bridge "the rest of the brain", so the i810 had an integrated video card and no exposed AGP bus.
15. VLBus, PCI and AGP. For a while there, it was looking like VLBus was going to win because it operated at twice the speed of PCI, and worked with the 486's memory bus, however VLBus could only ever have two (sometimes three, though I've never seen three slot boards,) so it was more akin to having an extension to the motherboard, and no other expansion card other than the super io and video card could go in it as consequence. The problem was that it was only designed to work with the 486. PCI on the other hand, operated at 33Mhz and all the slots could be PCI and still work. In practice only 4 PCI cards could work as only 4 PCI interrupts were ever available on most boards. This lead to a dedicated "PCI" slot called AGP, and that went from AGP to 2X to 4X and Intel never put AGP logic into a chipset until the Pentium II.
 
16. So at this point we now hit a turning point, Y2K, Windows 98/2K, and the first time we start seeing a genuine interest in throwing away old equipment. Y2K bugs made some old equipment entirely unusable, some just had to be rebooted, but because the realtime clocks were programmed to only recognize the last two digits. Lots of fun seeing websites go "Copyright 19100" (sometimes a string overflow error just broke the site) or "Copyright 1900"
 
Past this point, most "significant changes weren't really as amazing, ground breaking or innovative, it was just the end result of shrinking chips and increases in transistor counts.
 
17. APM, ACPI, UEFI Bios. Only UEFI was really groundbreaking but ACPI was the first time you could have your computer shutdown without pressing the power button. APM was only found in laptops. Windows 98 however had to be installed in ACPI mode to support this, and most of the time didn't. So this curse followed us to UEFI, where Windows installs have to be booted in UEFI mode to be installed in UEFI mode.
18. Zip drives and CD-ROM's. Zip drives were the first, rewritable high-capacity disks you could buy, They were also expensive, came in Parallel Port and SCSI models, and... had a terrible viral mechanical "click of death" problem. There's still one of these at my office. 2X CD-ROM's all came on proprietary interface cards attached to soundcard multimedia kits, even though the 40-pin interfaces looked like IDE, they were not.
19. Rewritable/Recordable CD-ROM's, now I know these came out in 1991, but what I want to state is that the ability to get a "burner" drive was something that only really became standard around 1999. Prior to that, you needed a SCSI card and an expensive drive that only burned 2x or 4x speed. But hey, it stored 6x as much as zip drive, and when you only had 33.6K internet, you saved everything you downloaded so you didn't have to download it again. 
20. 2400 baud, 14.4Kbps, 2b8.8kbps, 33.6kbps, 56Kbps. Remember BBS's, this was literately the first time I was ahead of anyone in my family on tech stuff, but the also the expensive lesson on long distance costs.
21. Cable modem. They were first rolled in in Canada by Rogers circa 1999, then there was the @home network. Then everything imploded when people discovered Napster. Cable and DSL didn't come to rural cities for another few years.
22. SSD's would be the next great leap. You can still buy SATA SSD's, but really it's the PCIe SSD's which have blown away all that came before it. But when flash media first became available it was expensive (I remember having 8MB cards, not GB) and proprietary in a lot of camera devices. Speaking of...
23. Digital Still Cameras. I had an Epson PhotoPC back in the day, and I literately had a digital camera before everyone where I lived at the time. I keep finding the box from time to time, but the camera is long gone. good ol 320x240 32 picture capacity or 640x480 16 picture capacity on 1MB that you then had to transfer via serial cable, slowly. That might actually be the first device I had that had flash memory. The memory expansion was more expensive than the camera and I never got it.
24. GPU's, more specifically 3DFx, as the first GPU that was actually legitimately a way to add this new fangled 3D tech to a computer. It just came too early and all the other GPU's ate it for breakfist by offering true 32-bit (ATI) color modes when 3DFX only offered 8-bit palletized textures.
25. MT-32/CM32-L/LAPC-I, this was what all computer games were designed to use before General Midi wavetable took over. 
 
 
If you had Japanese computers, the history regarding music and sound will be different as their computers often had built in FM synths or OPM tone generators. Japanese computers were closer to game consoles than western ones as recently as 1995. In the US, the Amiga was the closest thing in design to a Japanese computer. You can thank Windows 95 for making Japanese computers standardize.
 
Like just going back to "is Zen2 a giant leap", nah SSD's were probably the biggest leap in the last 10 years (quite literately going from a high end HDD to a good M2 SSD is a net 35x increase in disk performance,) with Cable/DSL modems being the giant leap for the 2000's, and Sound cards and CD-ROM's for the 90's.
 
Honorable mentions go to GPU parts for the 90's (specifically 3DFX), and the MT-32/CM32-L/LAPC-I sound modules. Once everyone got to Windows XP in 2001, a lot of the PC's quirky nature became less crappy, less reliable CPU's like the AMD 6x86 and Cyrix/Via parts were shunned in favor of much better designed chips, and this came the era of XP is full of security holes, and much innovation started going into networking hardware (which you'll note I almost entirely omitted up there)
 
WiFi, not a giant leap, it was such a chicken and egg game to start with, and while every laptop now has it, it never used to be that way. Laptops as late as Pentium 4 models still only had PCMCIA slots with no network cards and no modems. It wasn't until WiFi "kits" started being sold with matching PCI cards to a router in the box that people eventually started adopting it. ISP's eventually jumped on this bandwagon as well, as they saw it as a way to charge the customer twice for the same internet.
 

I guess I'll wait for after I've made my upgrade, the cpu has always been running pretty cool with my noctua NH-U12P SE2 and the airflow is still pretty good. I just feel like it's a bad time to upgrade a lot of online shop I use are out of stock or the price seems higher than before.

If you take computer as a whole and you are older than Linus, my first computer had a 486DX25 CPU so I remember some of them
the SDRAM DDR was a big deal.
the CD-rom (no more 10 floppy disks to install something, windows 3.1 was 6 or 8 disk iirc).
the AGP slot for graphics card replacing PCI (Riva TNT, my geforce 3 Ti 500 was the most expensive card I bought for a long time)
the switch from PATA to SATA (that old cable was such a pain to manage).
the USB (that's probably the best one for me everything can be plugged to USB now).
the Bios switching to UEFI (big deal for advanced user I guess).
the end of dial up internet for Broadband xDSL, cable (DOCSIS) and FFTx now.
the SSD.
 
There's actually so many the first multi-core processor, the end of CRT and probably a lot more. For the CPU progress in recent years you don't always see a huge improvement from one generation of CPU to the next, sure my first gen I7-860 at 2.8Ghz is clearly outdated by now but if I compare it to a 2nd or 3rd gen core i7, I don't think I had 50% gain at stock in benchmark.
 
Anyway at some point amd vs intel or nvidia vs ati(well amd actually) one of them was way better or added something new then it was almost similar for a few years.
