    would still pick an ipad over both. And the new iPad air makes that decision even easier.

    AlTech got a reaction from germgoatz in AMD Radeon RX 6000 Specifications Revealed / Leaked from 2 Separate Locations: Up to 5120-Cores & 2.5GHz Clock Speeds   
    No?
     
    He's been correct at least several times however nobody recognises that a lot of people got 30 series leaks wrong and yet we're still calling them reputable.
    I respectfully completely disagree. WCCFTech has no real sources whereas MLID does and following what he now knows about what was reliable from his 30 series leaks has helped him solidfy the quality sources he has and he's ditched his sources that have lied.
     
    Also, I realize now that he also discussed RDNA's big cache structure as a reason for not needing huge memory bandwidth. Even assuming arguendo that this is somehow untrustworthy or a flat-out lie, Kepler and Maxwell showed us that more L2 cache helped reduce memory bandwidth needs and so the only way this is untrue is if RDNA2 doesn't have more cache.
    And everybody else got things wrong.
     
    Point is he learned which of his sources he needed to ditch and kept the ones that gave him reliable info.
    See above.
     
    His unreliable sources were ditched and he's only got more accurate sources now.

    he was right on basically everything that mattered, the high power consumption, the weird cooler, the overall performance, only important thing he got wrong was the doubling of ray-tracing performance

    2.5Ghz isn't that far fetched considering the PS5's GPU reaches 2.23Ghz and most likely that's power and thermal limited. I bet if you give it enough power and a decent cooler, it should hit it. The base clocks look wrong to me though.

    Is it because they will suck and nobody actually wants any? Or are they really good and they produced enough?

    AlTech reacted to TotallyNotGigabit in Rocket League becomes "free-to-play", removed from Steam   
    A little harsh. And a rather irrelevant old meme.
     
    The issue with Epic is their buyouts, as I like to see it as bribery. They use the bribery to get them off Steam, and stick with EGS because of their lower cuts. But what are they gaining from it? Do they have a store? Do they have their own servers? What does EGS provide that Steam doesn't? Why does Epic hate Steam? Because of their cuts?
     
    Make a storefront, and you gotta pay the rent somehow. Do it Epic's way: give them potentially less for a smaller cut, like a shed. Do it Steam's way: give them more for just a slightly bigger cut, and if they do well, lower the cut that they still earn just as enough as they started. Steam also gives you an apartment rather than an empty carcass of a shed.
     
    Steam's cut is not really theft. It's there for a reason. Epic is only able to do this because of the money they've generated from elsewhere. Steam doesn't buy out so many companies and force them to stay with them for good.
     
    I just don't agree with Epic's hatred for Steam, and I'd like to think of it this way: Epic gives you a shed. Steam gives you an an apartment because of the cut. That hatred doesn't just come out of the blue.

    AlTech got a reaction from jagdtigger in Facebook may have to stop serving Europe if data protection ruling is enforced   
    If I've read OP's source article correctly, this is the EU's way of poking the US into not spying on EU citizens. Whether Facebook has to be the one to suffer for this to stop or if somebody else will take that place is up to the US.
     
    It looks like this affects companies in the NSA's PRISM programme and companies involved with it or at least formerly involved in it.
     
    There are already schemes that exist for transfering wholesale private information from the EU to the USA provided that GDPR is followed. The EU is looking after the interests of Europeans and they don't want their citizens to be spied on by Americans.
     
    This is a quote from the OP's source article.

    Not gonna happen unless they decide to stop serving other similarly sized populations such as the US at the same time.
     
    It would make no business sense to give up on access to over 300 Million potential customers.
    I would personally argue many don't go quite far enough.
    They do place restrictions on physical businesses. Organisations that record CCTV video in the EU have the same obligations under GDPR as an online business. They need to provide consumers the ability to invoke any of the rights granted by GDPR.
     
    The same goes for organisations that for example run their own car park system with their own security enforcement team. You still have GDPR rights even though you're engaging with the physical world because they're still controlling your data which in this case would relate to if they take details down of you, your car, etc.
