I recently noticed some fps drops while playing World of Tanks. Then it got really bad with drops down to around 5fps from 60fps. After a while, my computer started crashing randomly. I would be editing a video with Vegas and boom! 30mins of work gone.... (I should prbly save more often.) Or even just opening File explorer would occasionally cause it to crash. I eventually factored out a broken PSU and began suspecting my CPU. Upon further inspection I found that my cpu was overheating like crazy. Idle temps at 80C and a record max temp at 120C. My cpu cooler is stock, but was sufficient enough to maintain smooth gameplay for over six months. Temps are great everywhere else. Is something wrong with my cpu? Or can it be something dumb like a broken heat sensor thus causing a throttle? I am a youtuber so I need my computer to work badly. I am also 15 and broke so simply buying a new computer is out of the question. Thanks in advance for the help.

Well, if you own an LG flagship made in 2015 or 2016 and you're hit with the bootloop defect, you might want to jump on that settlement now. Earlier in January, LG issued a settlement where those affected could file for a settlement of either $700 on a new LG phone or $425 in cash for each affected device until the 12th of February, after which registration is closed and those registered should get their settlement amount soon. Well, times are a changing, and if this is correct, LG has adruptly changed its settlement policy to one which may ruffle some feathers.

Don't think LG customers are all too happy about this.

If posted in wrong section, mods, can you please move it. I just thought this could be news because of GamerGate and Twitter Let me just start this off saying I'm screwed. Look at my avatar and you will see the group I'm talking about. Also, if you don't like anime, that's cool. But the stupidity in this person and their conclusions, I wanted to voice my opinions. Original Article: http://nymag.com/following/2015/11/dreaded-anime-avatar-explained.html My Full Breakdown of article: Caution, its fairly long) Just as an FYI: The journalist in question is Max Read who was part of the Gawker controversy Hold on, what if they just joined twitter and are still yet to find an avatar they like? Oh, glad you covered that one. Does having an avatar really matter? No, it's just an image, be all and end all. But then the journalist does something really stupid, and attacks the Anime crowd... Yeh, this not going to be pretty. Using an tweet from a person that was posted right in the middle of GamerGate, They are saying that 73% of people with an anime avatar are likely to be sexist... The journalist then goes on to state that anime avatars What if people don't want their faces shown. It's not against the law to hide your face on a website. I personally didn't like my face on the internet originally, but I take selfies and such now so, I mainly use my avatar just because I can. Doesn't mean I troll anyone, and it sure as hell doesn't link me to GamerGate... Also, I don't take part in "Internet Politics", real life, yes, internet, no s**ts given. This part takes the cake for me with how ignorant the writer is being. And the bases for the entire article linking Anime avatars to GamerGate... *Clap, Clap, Clap* Just because the logo was drawn in the form of anime/manga, you instantly link all people with anime avatars to GamerGate? Stop the world, I want off. Now we are all "Twitter Stalinists" who spend too much time on the internet. I'm sorry I like anime, I'm sorry that I have to be at a computer all day because of my college course, I'm sorry that I have made really good friends with people over the internet and its the only way I can communicate with them. /s 1: I have not heard about the internet politics of "Titoism" and 2: If you have no data, you have no right to talk about it. At least have solid facts before jumping to conclusions... Final quote, trust me. So let me get this straight, IF anime represents a type of politics and your NOT familiar with it, block them? That is just straight up ignorance. If you are not familiar with something and it affects you, do some research to learn about it. Also, "There are no familiar IRL equivalents to Anime Avatars", I don't know, how about people who like anime? Having an anime avatar does not symbolise anything. TL;DR? A New York Magazine journalist talks smack about people on Twitter with Anime avatars, links them to GamerGate and frequently insults them. So I "break down" his argument with my own thoughts. Most of my thoughts are in the "break down" above, but long story short. My opinion is that this journalist needs to stop, before this article angers even more people (There's already quite a discussion in the actual articles comments section). One thing you don't want to do is anger a group of fans on social media. Your thoughts, leave them down below, and please keep them civil. I don't want an anime flame war, I want opinions on how the journalist handled this and his article in general.

i won a bid and i searched all over my account and i can't find a pay option anywhere This is probably the wrong place to ask but hey, i'm desperate

So. Greenpeace seems to have taken a queue from Ubisoft and started acting without thinking. Several of their protesters layed out the following banner next to one of the most famous of the Nazca Lines, known as "The Hummingbird". The problem? They were trespassing, drove up to the site, and weren't wearing the necessary specialized footwear required of anyone who approaches the site. And I do mean anyone, even heads of state are not allowed to visit the site unless approved, and wearing specialized footwear to prevent damage to the topsoil. The reason for this is that the very attribute of the soil that makes up the nazca lines themselves, means that any "graffiti" is absolutely permanent. This damage, outlined in red, is completely and totally permanent. The group of protesters apparently drove up to the site, and trampled around the geo-glyph. This is made even more ironic by the group's desire to prevent harm to the environment. The head of Greenpeace issued what many are considering a "non-apology". Source: http://www.iflscience.com/environment/greenpeace-irrevocably-damages-fragile-nazca-lines-peru-during-publicity-stunt Personally, I find this to be tragically hilarious, considering the nature of the lines themselves, and Greenpeace's apparent desire to protect the environment....by damaging what is arguably an international treasure...permanently. While this might not be "tech news" I thought it worthy of being discussed here on the forums. Thoughts? Edit: I have set the text of the second quote to automatic, I do not know why part of it is still not showing up.
