Preorders for the 9900K are 578$ USD.

For that you can get a Ryzen 2700X, a nice motherboard and a 256GB SSD. Performance delta shouldn't be more than 15% deficit for the Ryzen for a few specific games.

What's next? Change location settings remotely so that they can siphon more data?

Who the hell at Google tought that playing with phone settings remotely was a good idea?

My wife's iPhone 6 (4 year old phone) is still snappy and will get iOS 12 in a few weeks. My Pixel XL (2 year old phone), to be fair, it's snappy but it's EOL in OS updates this fall. All while the iPhone 6 will most possibly get iOS 13. Maybe I am a sucker for Apple keynotes, but this emphasis on long term use makes me seriously consider to upgrade my XL to an Xr especially seeing how the 5S will get iOS 12.

I would like a Mini Pro with a 65-95 watt 6 core CPU and Thunderbolt 3.

Title is clickbait, 6 x performance gain is for ray tracing only, which is normal, Pascal cards didn't have the ray tracing muscle of the new cards.

Clickbait, sensationalist. Counterpoint: Amazon FireOS.

It's so arrogant to assume that intelligent life here that is made of the 5 most common elements in the universe (C, H, O, N and Other) cannot arise in the myriad of other star systems out there.

10nm chips are delayed again. AMD is back on desktop and server.

Those should be good enough reasons.

> Putting a Threadripper in a homeserver is overkill.

Running 2 gaming VMs for me and my kids and one ubuntu WS on a 12 core Threadripper. Host is also doing file serving and runs Unifi controller.

One server to rule them all.

Complacency kills.

For these cards the giant heatsink is connected to the VRMs so cooling is a non issue. In OP's pictures, he seems to have replaced the heatsink of his card with one from the case without cooling the VRMs.

From personal experience, I tried to silent cool an RX 550 (50 watt vs 75 watt of 1050 ti) without VRM heatsink and the VRM temnperatures were up to 100-103C during a torture test. Adding a fan lowered the temperatures by 20C.

There is one flaw in his setup, he doesn't seem to cool the VRMs of his video card (only memory chips). Not doing that is asking for trouble when load is put on the card.

"A step in the right direction"

What semi-decent human being inside Uber came up with this? How can people still work for this evil company?

The moment they come out with a Linux client, the moment I will be a customer.

You assume someone missed a memo and it wasn't intentional.

I thought his early motto was "Dumbfucks".

Why do you want to upgrade the 1700X? What does the 2000 line bring other than a 15% (being very optimistic) performance gain?

Good is competition. Began the Core Wars have.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. And I would even go much further by saying that not one Facebook employee should be trusted to handle the fallout.

I know, I was pointing out waterbell's silly argument.

I didn't know you could change your default browser on iOS.

Who inside Microsoft thinks this is a good idea?

From the same company who asked their users if it was ok for grown men to ask nude pictures from 14 year old girls.

90 days + 14 days grace time.

Why isn't that enough?

Why is MS cramming down my throat some 3D Pain thing, Augmented Reality crap and other apps I don't care about?

Edit: Oh and Camera app. On a desktop. Without even a webcam. What is the justification for that?

I set up my brother in-law's new HP laptop he got from Costco and I had to spend over 2 hours removing crap from it. The amount of crapware installed (and a lot of them are MS apps) is unreal.

Especially with Kernel 4.15, AMDGPU got HDMI audio out.

Intel ME?
