Overclocked to what degree, using what? And that 9900K score is low. 7100+ is normal.

Sure I am. If I didn't have to collect VAT then I could sell for 100 NOK instead.

It's not my money, but I still have to bill for it and pay it. The customer doesn't get a better product or service because of it.

It is both ways, for me. My business pays VAT on sales, and I personally pay VAT on purchases, so for me and my business VAT will be paid twice. Both for what I sold and what I(personally) purchased.

If I make a sale in Norway for 100 NOK:

Business VAT: 20 spent (20 %) 80 NOK left.

Income tax: 39 spent (max ~49 %) 41 NOK left.

VAT on purchase: 8.2 spent (20 %) 32.8 NOK left.

67.2 % taxes.

If I spend my money on gas/diesel then I would have ~16 NOK of value left. (84 % taxes)

About 18 % of the income tax I'll get back during my pension.

So 90 % is probably achievable on some things in some countries.

Income tax? Sure. Wealth tax? No, of course not, then investments would basically never be a good idea.

Has to be 15 % of the normal tax or something like that. Wealth tax in Italy is rather low, so 15 % of that would probably be more like 0.1 %.

X570 boards has thunderbolt merketing on it, so it seems that thunderbolt will now become a normal feature on AMD.

It is...

I see no reason why that should be a problem. And yes, AMD has thunderbolt too.

To put it into perspective: It's like half the price of an expensive phone.

High end phones has gotten way more expensive, but there are still consumer products.

> The Mac Pro gives you six DRAM channels instead of two, several times the IO bandwidth, supports several times as many CPU cores

That's not true. Threadripper has more cores, supports more memory, has 6-channel memory, more PCIe-lanes and so on.

Even the AM4 socket will soon have 16-core CPUs and PCIe4, so it will probably have more bandwidth than any Mac Pro, for a few hundred USD. The world is moving fast, that's for sure.

The old Mac Pro wasn't exactly pro, no matter how much Apple says it is.

The new Mac Pro is an actual pro product, at least the higher specced ones. So they did make a replacement.

Is Apple terrible at naming? Yes. Do they throw Pro into the product name for no reason? Yes. Is it better this way? Who knows. They still have the MacBook "pro".

Who believes what Apple says? Most things Apple says are completely bullshit.

From the Mac Pro trash can product page(norwegian): "Enough performance to realize all your biggest ideas"

"You will never want more speed"

And let's not forget why Apple is sticking to 3.5" screens. It is the perfect size, and that's why Apple won't make phones bigger. It's definetly not because Apple is lagging behind. Oh, wait...

Never belive Apple's marketing. It's misleading and often false.

Maybe you should consider switching OS? Apple will always be behind on performance, upgrade paths, compatability and pricing. So if you want a high performance computer that you can upgrade then Apple isn't for you.

The 6K Mac Pro is very much low end. It's not even high end by consumer standards.

Europe far behind? Europe is the best place in the world when it comes to freedom of speech, consumer rights and press freedom.

Also, this is probably ment to further lock users into the Apple ecosystem.

It's not like you can ask Apple to forward emails to your own email server if you decide that you no longer want to use Apple.

"without turning over any of their personal data to a third-party company"

Uhm.. If a user sign up on my site with apple sign in then they definetly will share personal data with a third-party: Apple.

If user A wants to use product B and signs in using solution from C then C is the third-party.

That's of course true, but bandwidth is usually not the problem with eg. SYN attacks.

Iptables is there to ensure you can handle as many packets as possible per second, not bandwidth.

You still have to do some tuning and at least assign RX queues properly.

You want to drop unwanted traffic before you start spending more cycles on it.

Developing and running a multiplayer game for 11 years, and games definetly is one of the industries that has most DoS attacks. It's rare that attacks are 50-70 Gbps, and that large SYN attacks are definetly not common.

Reflection attacks of 50-70 Gbps are easily blocked by the firewall as the port is likely blocked.

A lot of people seems to be thinking that it is pointless to use iptables to drop unwanted traffic in 2019. That is far from the truth.

Most attacks are usually small(<10 Gbps) and effective iptables rules can go a long way, both against unwanted application traffic and packet floods.

It really does help. Most SYN floods can easily be handled with proper tuning and iptables. Most DDoS attacks are small.

It clearly states that it's for TCP based attacks. TCP attacks eg. SYN floods is a real problem and this does help against most such attacks.

Just as real as anything else...

On host mitigation usually works. Most attacks are small.

Iptables definetly can help with real ddos attacks.

You clearly don't have much experience as a developer with Safari on iOS. It's a terrible browser full of bugs and inconsistent behavior.

It's not, it's "RDNA".

Not true. 3000 series APUs are based on zen+.

2000 series is not zen+ when it comes to APUs. 3000 series is zen+ in APUs.
