Ajit Pai was a Verizon lawyer before taking the chair of the FCC, much like Rex Tillerson was the CEO of Exon Mobile.

He didn't 'drain the swamp' he flooded it.

jfc this isn't a "gaymin" monitor. It's for fancy business people and their fancy offices. 

Think you mean Layman there but I get it, it's very nice but at 60hz bumping up to 1440 or even 4k isn't much of a price increase compared to some other nice monitors, even others from AOC. I think this is more of a make the office look nice in a windowed sales office than the taste of the persons actually using it... insurance, bank, caresales offices, the desk where the customer is actually going to give information when a sale is successful type office.

Come to think of it they probably designed it for their own carsales and as an afterthought decided to let AOC sell it on it's own with a design commission on units sold.

1080p 60hz IPS larger than 21" and over $120 no thanks, don't care how nice the chassis is. Needs to be at least 1440p if over 20" and if 1080p it needs to be 120hz if over $150.

 @DeezNoNos sry kinda expanded on yours.

I like how you used 7Gamers1CPU and Luke's Fallout build, both running AMD cards.

Imagine if EVERYONE knew the military ops that take place on foreign soil. Why take a high-value target from the Pentagon when Joe Shmoe lives in a two-room house and knows the same info?

Point being that it should be publicly available knowledge that nuclear launch codes exist, not what the codes are.

When Snowden came forward revealing the unconstitutional actions of the NSA he showed what the NSA was doing when it was secret without compromising the operation.

Quote

Today, we’re able to speak openly about two national security requests for the first time, specifically two national security letters (NSLs). These NSLs were accompanied by gag orders when they were served (one in 2015, one in 2016), preventing us from notifying the impacted account holders or publicly disclosing their existence. The FBI recently informed us that the gag orders have been lifted and that we may notify the account holders.

 

We have provided each of the account holders with copies of the relevant NSLs (certain information redacted to protect privacy) as well as the account data we were compelled to produce. While the actual NSLs request a large amount of data, Twitter provides a very limited set of data in response to NSLs consistent with federal law and interpretive guidance from the U.S. Department of Justice.

 

We’re encouraged by the lifting of these two gag orders and those recently disclosed by Cloudflare, Google, the Internet Archive, and Yahoo!. However, Twitter remains unsatisfied with restrictions on our right to speak more freely about national security requests we may receive. We continue to push for the legal ability to speak more openly on this topic in our lawsuit against the U.S. government, Twitter v. Lynch.

 

We continue to believe that reporting in government-mandated bands does not provide meaningful transparency to the public or those using our service. However, the government argues that any numerical reporting more detailed than the bands in the USA Freedom Act would be classified and as such not protected by the First Amendment. They further argue that Twitter is not entitled to obtain information from the government about the processes followed in classifying a version Twitter’s 2013 Transparency Report or in classifying/declassifying decisions associated with the allowed bands. We would like a meaningful opportunity to challenge government restrictions when “classification” prevents speech on issues of public importance.

 

Our next hearing in the Lynch case is scheduled for February 14, 2017. Concurrently, Twitter is using the statutory means provided in the USA Freedom Act to seek more transparency into similar NSL requests, and will provide updates as they become available. You can read more information about our commitment to protecting free expression in our Help Center.

Transparency is important, this is too little too late. It's important to keep in mind these are just gag orders were lifted on expiration, not by new administration.

His Entire Cabinet is his donors, he has one goal, make money for himself, people who gave him the most money are now in control. Those people are going to gut the FCC just like they are going to gut Education, they already deleted everything regarding climate change from the White House website.

The RGB craze is real, but I think Thermaltake has gone too far this time. What do you guys think?

I think it's pretty tame compared to the first one from Roswell.

Perhaps not a rule for all product types.

It's not a rule, it's just common forum courtesy.

PC version will likely come considering the massive cash that GTA V's triple release brought in. Success on old consoles, half a year passes then released on current old to same success, another half a year passes and release on PC to insane success.

Red Dead 2 will do the same thing, PS4 Pro and X Box whatever will come out and they will once again hit the triple launch then hopefully leave GTA modders alone and stop being the scumbags they are for a few months basking in semi deserved money, assuming the game is good, then return to trying to fuck over, for some reason, the modders extending their games life and value.

Looks like im not getting bf1 on ps4... does this happen to everyone or is it rare?

Unless they tone down textures and dynamic effects significantly then they either need to cap the fps at 30 or remove the dynamic scaling, lower the res on all assets and the render.

They'll be able to find some redundant script causing effects to repeat passively in the code or something of that sort triggering massive performance loss which in turn triggers the Dynamic Resolutions script too many times. Long run it'll be fixed or made very rare, It'll likely be a priority bug I wouldn't expect it fixed in the first week.

too many breaking points imo

I have one, very sturdy, surprisingly well constructed.

Anything that folds the keyboard to the bottom like this is poorly designed. We need more of these:

Fuck. The single player story was the only part with a chance of releasing.

They completely overhauled it. It looks nothing like CryEngine 1 anymore.

 

Side note: I wonder if there are code repositories for the front ends of engines (the GUIs) available. I just finished a new component structure I want to try out. I just really don't want to build the GUI front end. It'll take me forever.

CryEngine 1 ??? CryEngine was in it's main iteration after CryEngine 3 before being sold to Amazon.
