That is... a sentence... even my EE background is having trouble parsing all that at once...

That was meant for those who don't use their browser. /a
Yea, I still haven't updated to 20H2 because of that. I guess I meant "don't go out of your way to update until everything is sorted"

IIRC, Windows doesn't auto-update to newer Windows versions unless you click either the "download and install" button when it shows up or you click "Search for Updates" in the Update menu, otherwise it will only upgrade to a new version once the current version runs out of support.

I like to live on the edge. I will. Always have with every new version.

"Pro" tip: don't update at launch, let others be the beta testers.

That's not the issue though. Apple are launching their toys out of the pram with a trebuchet and trying to take everyone else down with them.
 
They're trying to demonstrate that 30% is reasonable and that other stores make just as much money as they do.
 
Essentially they either want to get off with it on the fact others are also doing it or ensure that any ruling applies to their competitors as well.

I'm so f*cked if my GTX 1080 dies.

I mean, they may not be Logitech but they're miles ahead of where HP is in the peripherals space with Omen. There's an Omen-branded wireless charging mouse pad I briefly looked at last year when I had a wireless charging phone, and I've seen a couple of mice. I have no idea what other Omen peripherals exist. 
 
For brand recognition/mindshare in the gaming peripherals space (NOT a reflection of quality either way, before someone gets mad at me) I'd say Logitech, Corsair, and Razer are the top tier, and then HyperX is firmly in the second tier with brands like SteelSeries and CM. 

Not sure what HP sees in HyperX to be honest.
Other than the Cloud series of headsets, HyperX isn't really that well-known of a peripheral maker. Their mice and keyboards aren't much special either. Maybe patents? not sure.
As far as I know, the HP EX950 for example uses a controller from Silicon Motion and NAND from Micron.

I don't like this.
really HP of all companies.
Yes I am agents this even tho I have a HP prebuilt (from 2011 b4 hp went completely bad)
 

This is really disappointing, Kingston HyperX headsets are some of the better gaming headsets in my opinion.
I expect that HP will probably cut cost on the HyperX brand.

We did it Gamers! A short time ago this forum reached a very nice number of members.

I apologize in advance for the low quality of this meme.

sorry, had to do it:

Quite happy to see Madison settling in comfortably with the LTT crew. 😁

"I couldn't care less, just want them to stop breaking the mods", said my brother with >1400h of game time.

It looks like a shitty Garry's Mod model of an iMac.

And it's some unknown YouTube that might as well be lying to get views. 
 
But yeah... A cards cooling getting slightly worn out and therefore not boosting as high isn't exactly big news. 
You might actually experience the same performance drop from just the cooling getting clogged with dust. 
I don't really think mining on the cards will cause any special performance drop you wouldn't see from let's say a card used for gaming. 

And that alone invalidates that claim, not even worth clicking.

Fictional violence with no real world consequences, proven by multiple studies? How awful, think of the children.
 
In game gambling via chance systems designed to take advantage of young people that have caused real financial harm to families? A-OK.

So I played Tetris once and now whenever I bag groceries I try to fit everything in perfectly. 
And the last time I packed up my stuff and moved... EVERYTHING FIT IN MY GIRLFRIEND'S MINIVAN. ONE TRIP. GAHH. 
 
Oh it's terrible.

GTA VI: All vehicles are unoccupied self driving cars. Problem solved.
 
10 years later in Chicago - "Wait, why are all our self driving cars being stolen?"

lmfao, this is literally a release for most people, go and kill people online so you don't in person. people don't see a murder in a video game and kill someone in real life, yet people have staged whole murders to mimic movie plots, what the fuck!?

Summary
Representative Marcus Evans Jr. filed a bill (HB3531) that proposes changing the definition of 'violent video games' to:
In addition to banning the sale of these 'violent video games' to not just minors but everyone.

My thoughts
This is the most boomer 'hrr drr video games bad' thing I've seen in a while... What about movies? If violent games are such a problem are you going to ban violent movies too, hell might as well ban all songs that reference drugs because that's clearly what's causing the drug problem. (obligatory /s)
I'd like to see literally any piece of evidence proving that video games like GTA V have "become an issue".

I sincerely hope this doesn't pass.
