Remind me, what happened to Giordano Bruno? Or about the wonderful relationship between Church and, cough, Galileo Galilei? Did he agree he was wrong, or did he prefer to be burnt alive?
Many Americans and not only see that as unfair approach (also applies to systems such as universal healthcare), since people who work are paying for those who don't.
It has been said that Pascal GP104 will use GDDR5X. If Nvidia repeats the cycle GP104 will be their flagship and big Pascal GP110 wont be GeForce ready until next cycle some time in 2017.
Which would make sense, considering that nVidia has no experience with HBM.
AMD - Hynix collaboration on HBM started a while ago, by the end of 2013 they've only "finalized HBM 3D memory", it took 2 more years to ship Fury series GPUs with HBM:: http://linustechtips.com/main/...
I work for 2 companies. (hired by one, doing projects for another) One has recently changed the policy and has explicitly forbidden using emails for private needs. But it can't just go and monitor my emails, what can happen at most is that if employee isn't available (say, ill) yet someone needs to urgently take over hist duties, mailbox could be used by the other person.
There are some funny rules too, it is prohibited to watch porn using your company notebook even if not working/at home. (afraid of viruses?)
This kind of "seeing previous guys emails" thing wasn't possible before, isn't possible now at the other company.
Neither of the two companies is allowed to monitor what employees are doing at work (e.g. watching what's going on on your screen) if management would dare to try to change it, trade unions would start one hell of a shit storm.
What on earth has "harder to crack" have to do with "encryption tech"? I'd understand "encryption" talk in the context of PS4/Xbone, but we are talking about PC games here.
Buying a Steam Box to... watch youtube videos etc, is one weird decision. Lack of updates is another puzzling reason, I have a bunch of TVs and even 5 year old C series Samsung keeps updating stuff (which is rather annoying).
Not sure about new revisions, but most of the older Samsung TVs I touched ran Linux. There is a wonderful SamyGo project, which allows you to root and harness your TV (full shell access, SAMBA/NFS mounts, ui patches and even cardsharing clients)
A couple of years ago Google definitely did NOT ask for a password by default. (and that after Apple has lost a case in court on remembering passwords). So wonderful "clouds and ships" game my kid was playing managed to charge me 9.99 Euro within minutes after I've bought something from an app store USING MY BLOODY PC.
Except nobody has to bring gender/race/sexual orientation/bloody anything from your private life into an open source project and it rather seems there is a bunch of "oh, I just got offended by.bro extension" people seeking reasons to get offended.
All Android phones around me and even Sony RX100 III camera work just fine with Micro USB socket, so could you be more specific on who decided to "refuse to support it any longer"
...plugging in cables without doing the twist-around dance is a good thing. Rumor has it Apple actually gave that design to the USB forum because well...
Because, well, it's so "damn hard" to design one, eh? Get real FFS...
devices that draw 2A have been known to explode/set on fire cheap chargers.
Oh yeah. Cause, you know, it's so damn hard thing / engineers outside Apple are such idiots that design phones that you must "hold right" to not lose signal... Oh wait...
USB-100mA USB by default will deliver 100mA of current (it is 500mW power because we know it is 5v, right?) to a device. This is the most you can pull from a USB hub that does not have its own power supply, as they never offer more than 4 ports and keep a greedy 100mA for themselves.
Some computers that are cheaply built will use an bus-powered hub(all of your USB connections share the same 500mA source and the electronics acting as a hub use that source also) internally to increase the number of USB ports and to save a small amount of money. This can be frustrating, but you can always be guaranteed 100mA.
USB-500mA When a device is connected it goes through enumeration. This is not a trivial process and can be seen in detail on Jan Axelson's site.
Steam has "be online" DRM, I'd understand if you'd mention gog.com (yeah, steam supports "just install, no online DRM mode" but it is rarely used). PS4 allows you to play offline and/or trade your games.
Which, last time I've checked, you couldn't do on Steam.
Next gen of consoles will likely be x86 based again (likely AMD again), so technically could easily support older games. (PS4 does support PS2 games, by the way, PS3 is too different a hardware and PS4 isn't fast enough to just emulate it)
Last, but not least, high end GPUs cost more than consoles.
Exactly what is available on SteamOS that is not available on Win PC?
The main point of "jailbreaking" the consoles is pirating console exclusive games. Other, lesser incentive, might be, simply pirating console games, not necessarily exclusive (sofa gaming vs table + mouse)
It isn't as cheap as you describe it. And if you'd read my post carefully, you'd realize I've said they already DO the coating with zinc. That's why you have some manufacturers give you 10+ years (some do 15) warranty on the car body.
Metal used for car's body costs about 1500$ per small car (e.g. Fiesta). They are already quite good, lasting well over 10 years without any corrosion whatsoever. (zin coating etc)
Replacing it with stainless steel would increase costs 5 fold => 7500$ per car body. Not viable.
And to "increase profit"... Many manufacturers are struggling to barely make it even. Only luxury cars have good margins.
I've checked current presidential race standings out of curiosity (living in Europe) Trump is hands down the most likely republican candidate, the next candidate has about half of his popularity. So is Clinton (actually she leads by even wider margin)
In republican vs democrat, Trump is behind Clinton, but only slightly.
And to your question, the more shit spills out of this mess over to prosperous countries, the more radicalized public opinion will become. Check France where National Front is the most popular party at the moment. What is surprising here?
Heck, even though disagree with his proposals, I can not deny that despite all the claims, Islam is, actually, inherent part of the problem.
Price talk aside, while we know how to grow large sapphires (to a point that Apple could have used them instead of "gorilla glass"), I don't recall anyone ever succeeding at growing a big diamond. Artificial "diamond dust" is all that create so far and that is being used in industry.
The "surveilance is evil" guys need to propose an alternative way for intelligence agencies to work. As an example, there are about 1 million Syrian refugees in Europe. About 13% of them are positive about ISIS. http://www.clarionproject.org/...
Tell me, pretty please, how you are supposed to monitor 130'000 men.

I'm not saying I agree or disagree with this POV.
It would have been used only in cities. What fauna?
After price drop on Fury Nano, it costs like 980 (non TI) (499$) while handily beating it in most games, tiny form factor.

Germans teach to push breaks and if you can't avoid it, hit the animal, no swerving.
Sony thought it would make a difference, PSN online play was free, PSN+ came with a bunch of great free games, XBox online play cost money.
People voted "we don't care" with their wallets.
So Sony followed Microsoft's move.
I'd say, shame on voters.
