    California has no water. How much do you think other states will charge CA for water if they try to secede?

    The EU? The union just had one full third of its members that matter leave? The EU has the Brits, the Frogs, the Krauts, and a bunch of shitty little orphans they got roped into supporting. The Brits got sick of it and voted to leave, and recently reaffirmed that they're really going to leave. How much longer will Germany and France put up with it?

    There are no costs mandated by the Paris Climate Agreement. It was non-binding and had no ramifications if we didn't uphold our end of the bargain.

    So it's not an agreement and it's not a bargain? It's just pointless theatrics? All the more reason to leave the circus and let the clowns frolic as they please.

    How is it treasonous?

    IF Russia "hacked" into DNC emails (remember, as far as we know the "hack" was a fucking phishing link that yielded a certain someone's iCloud password), and did so in a state-sponsored way (such that you could say Russia did it, and not Russians did it), you then have to look at what they did with that access.

    All they did was reveal the truth. Notice how the media and the DNC and Hillary herself kick and scream about how they were exposed. They do this because they have absolutely no defense for what was exposed - the fucking truth about how the DNC is corrupt, how Clinton is corrupt, and how the media was influencing the debates and election for Hillary.

    If you want to call someone a traitor and throw out claims of treason, then look at the DNC and the US media. They were the ones tampering with the election. Russia is merely accused of exposing it. And keep in mind, we have been shown Z E R O evidence. This is on the level of claiming that North Korea hacked Sony for a shitty Seth Rogen & James Franco movie.

    And no, I didn't vote for Trump.

  14. The unraveling of the denials begins. This is the exact same process Putin used when Russia stole Crimea from Ukraine.

    Stole? They reclaimed what was rightfully their territory. Most people in the region support it. I get that you're swimming in western propaganda, but it's pretty easy to look up the history of the situation.

  19. Are you retarded? I haven't seen or heard of anyone using a discrete hardware encoder since the late 90s. Hardware encoding is done by GPUs (or the GPU portions of SoCs). Video rendering absolutely does work very well on GPUs. GPUs are kind of designed to render lots of effects and push lots of pixels around in a highly parallel fashion for high (realtime or better) performance. Every major video effects and editing application will make use of GPUs to do the rendering, the live previewing, and yes, the final encoding.

    Software encoders still tend to output a better final result for a given bitrate compared to the built-in video encoding functions on an AMD or Nvidia GPU (at the cost of 10-100 x longer encoding times). But the big boys like Adobe have their own encoders for CUDA/OpenCL/Whatever, and don't have to rely on the shit AMD and Nvidia provide, so quality isn't an issue for them.

    I think you mean Windows 98 SE.

  21. Incoming? Soon? This has been a thing for nearly a decade. HP cartridges have DRM chips. No chip, no printing. 3rd parties started salvaging the chips from genuine cartridges (and they farmed them from their customers via the "send your old one to us" recycling programs). Then HP started doing expiration dates. I'm not sure what the current situation is. I haven't owned a printer in many years.

  22. No, the X/E enthusiast (expensive) Intel CPUs are almost always used with a third party cooler. Intel provides a reference design for posterity and the handful of retarded "boutique" OEMs that build systems with these CPUs.

  23. AMD's Threadripper is likely to be much more attractive I think. Ryzen seems to have the edge at the moment, especially in efficiency terms. How hot are these Intel chips going to run? Plus AMD's parts will be much, much cheaper.

    I doubt it, Intel saw where Ryzen was going after the first launch and extrapolated, they went from 10 to 18 cores on the high end. It's $500 for the 1800x with 8 cores, bigger chips = lower yields so double+ for 16 cores that'll still have two less cores, probably slightly lower max clock and IPC than Intel too. I'm guessing threadripper will be a $1200 chip that'll compete with Intel's $1400/1700 chips. They won't let AMD get another PR win like the first Ryzen launch.

    You haven't been paying attention, have you?

    Ryzen is designed in "CCX" modules that are linked together to allow for better scaling. A larger die size doesn't bring about yield problems to the same degree as it does in traditional designs. Threadripper is also huge to allow for cooling. Look at this surface area: https://i.redd.it/fb8obad77e0z...

    Yes, clock speeds will go down as core count goes up. Yes, Intel will still have higher IPC, and possibly even higher clocks.
    No, Intel will not win on performance/$. Not by a long shot. I'd be shocked if the 16-core Threadripper comes out at anything more than $999.

  24. Video editors with 4K, 8K and 16K video files to view in real time and render in the background at the same time.

    That's what GPUs are for.

  25. a good number of cores without sacrificing clock speed

    Clock speed will be sacrificed. Severely.

    I mean, they're too ashamed to even provide them for the chips with more cores: http://images.idgesg.net/image...
    And don't forget to add $85-$100 for a cooler that can handle 140W (and more for the chips with more cores) - Intel recommends water cooling because of the density we're dealing with: http://images.idgesg.net/image...
