Don't know wtf my fellow sheep are doing voting for these assholes.
Which arseholes? Or rather what's the alternative? Who should you vote for who you know will stand against a yet undisclosed issue lobbied for by corporations?
Stupidity like this directive doesn't get created in a legislative vacuum by the people you vote.
I vote pirate party all the way, but feels like I am the only one.
The pirate party has a currently sitting MEP (Germany). You're definitely not the only one. But fundamentally the problem with parties like the pirate party is that they are single issue parties made up of people with different backgrounds and opinions on other things not core to the pirate party. That will forever keep them as a minority player.
Actually I said the exact opposite. You see diesel exhaust has a myraid of other parts in its composition that cause health problems too. Yet PM2.5 concentrations are known to bioaccumulate and cause specific health problems regardless of where they come from and what their composition is.
Read a fucking book. Educate yourself. Learn about logical fallacies (you committed one in your post, can you guess which?) Then come back and post with the big boys.
You're right, my mistake. Let me reword: "And yet it can already".
You happy now? An no your wagon has not done self driving by my definition, or anyone's definition. Have you gotten in the back seat of your car and and car without a driver, or safety driver, or anyone at all in control taken you to the other side of your city? Didn't think so.
I'm not sure if you're ignorant of Waymo's capabilities, or just stupid.
They are slowly getting back into it. But the reality is Radeons have been rarely seen outside of budget builds for gamers. I have high hopes for their current architecture.
But it does mean that "future proof" is a term that does not apply to this card.
Future proof in a 4-5 year time frame has never applied to any graphics card, period!
You got 2 fantastic 1080Ti in SLI? Congratulations, even now 3 years after release there are some games you can't maximise settings on since they don't support RTX. You got 980TIs? Well sucks to be you because 3 years later you don't have support for HDR games. Did you have kepler cards? Well good luck playing even games of the day at 4K.
Very shortly, 8 GB will be a minimum even for low end cards.
It will be what for what? Let's look at that term "minimum" and "low end" shall we with a random selection of games: Hitman 2: Minimum 2GB RAM Battlefield 5: Minimum 2GB RAM Rainbow Six Siege: Minimum 1GB RAM Apex Legends: Minimum 1GB RAM Let's pick something that is known at full settings to fill up the most demanding of cards: Cities Skylines, oh wait you can play that with 1GB of video RAM too, 512MB if you didn't install the last update.
The current #1 bestseller on Amazon is a Radeon 580 with 8GB, $190.
The #1 bestseller is a card that performs worse than a 6GB previous card NVIDIA has discontinued. Enjoy your "futureproofing".
The 2080's are to expensive for me, the 2060 and 2070's don't offer that much more for the price
They do offer more, they just offer something useless. You're paying for ray-tracing hardware and anti-aliasing which is largely unused by games so far. It's their "killer feature" without actually a contract to kill.
Mind you NVIDIA haven't had a good record of making sensible release choices. E.g. the 1070 Ti which didn't make sense (for them) as it effectively destroyed the market for the 1080 given the price and performance. Then there's the 1060, with 3GB, with 6GB, some with GDDR5 some with GDDR5X without any major announcement or indication that they produced a newer card.
Interestingly because the core and memory size of the 1060 remains unchanged some benchmark software is quietly aggregating the scores and boosting the results of the old 1060 numbers which is curious since that would further put stress on their 1660 sales.
Says you. Radeon 580 at $190 is the #1 bestseller on Amazon for several weeks.
I'm sure when NVIDIA releases a childs toy to compete with the 580 people will buy that too. Or do you think that "gamers" are flocking in numbers to "upgrade" to cards that are slower than the previously discontinued generation from the competitors? The Radeon 500 series were throwaways for cheap systems and basically absent from serious gamers for the past generation.
The Vega was a step in the right direction but still largely ignored by gamers. I'm hoping the Radeon VII changes all that, and I think it may if it's priced right.
Define high-end gaming? Having every setting on max with 4K freesync display? Can I get "No shit Sherlock" for $5 please. It's NVIDIA's entry level gaming card. Just because you won't be able to play with the big boys and their "Ultra uber duber" setting on texture resolution in 4-5 years doesn't make this even remotely "gimped", and given the game developments in the past 5 years you sure as hell won't be missing much with the extra 2GB in the next 5 years either.
I thought 5G was just a software update. This is just fake news because everyone is jealous that AT&T are the only people investing in making 5G a reality and were the first to do so.
I'm sure there's a link between cancer and cigarette smoking, but who the hell cares. Now if you'll excuse me I have yet another appointment for chemo.
In other news why are cancer rates so high? Must be that damn fluoride in the water!
Why? The number of idiots especially in a cold UK winter who won't even turn on their range hood because they don't want cold air in the house, combined with the number of people whose Sunday roast actually sets off their fire alarm should easily validate the study.
I don't doubt it for a second. The key difference is we're able to do something about it, and we're not breathing it in for hours in the day.
Considering one of their recommendations was to use an oven hood (no duh!), I wonder if they did everything possible to make the air quality plummet.
You don't need to do things to make quality plummet. You just need to omit things to make it better. It's amazing the number of people who refuse to use the rangehood in winter because "It's cold outside and I don't want to suck in cold air!" It's equally amazing the number of people who manage to simply set of fire alarms, or who stand over their BBQ inhale deeply through their nose and go "aaaahhhh isn't that a great smell!" while they wipe the soot off their glasses.
Roasting meat and vegetables are in NO WAY similar to Asian Smog!
In what way? Colour? Smell? Desirability? One way they are similar is PM2.5. If you think that PM2.5 is all there is to Asian smog then the problem is your ignorance not the study.
Perhaps, but they lost me when they provided "hand gestures to control functions" as a possible future rationale. Jesus - what about the obvious seatback video conferencing application? Do they really think people will accept the possibility of being spied on as they jerk off in their seats for the promise of being able to wave their hands to start an in-flight movie?
If all humans had functioning brains there wouldn't be any PR people in the world.
I fully trust Consumer Reports... to change their mind in 5 minutes and put it back on the recommend list. Seriously though I have given up on them too.
I'm sure there are some valid uses for the camera. Just not in this case.
You don't see a valid use for a camera on a device that has for the past 20 years been used for communication inside a mode of transport that increasingly has enough bandwidth to offer free internet to passengers?
You may be right, gimme a sec I'm just going to Facetime someone and ask them if you're actually right.
Uhhh...he BLOCKED the PSU fan, you kinda need that if you don't want the PSU to blow
No he didn't. He pointed it inwards towards the motherboard. That case has a gap that allows air to get to the fan, and a cutout under the motherboard at that position allowing air to additionally flow past the underside of the board. Additionally he installed an 850W PSU in a system that will at full pelt never even see half that load. The crime here is the PSU won't be cool enough for the fan to spin down completely but it sure as hell won't blow.
he also poured so much thermal compound on the CPU it was squirting onto the socket so...yeah it would have cooked the box
Except no it wouldn't. He put significant amounts on but it won't be gooping into the socket itself, there's nothing to force it to go that direction. It will make a mess of the rim of the socket and in the entire it'll be entirely irrelevant. He's not using early 00s era conductive paste nor is he using liquid metal. So again no, it'll run a bit warm but he won't be cooking anything.
and fried the CPU when the thermal goop shorted out the pins but whether that cooked or not would depend on if there was metal in the compound
Using actual liquid metal aside I can see you've never read the conductivity information on any current thermal compound on the market. No he sure as hell wouldn't have damaged anything, and a handy side note: Shorting CPU pins on the edge of the socket can't damage the CPU as the is a grounded current path next to the power pins and the IO pins are protected. You won't be damaging the PSU either. There is a component which could be damaged... but that component has both thermal and overcurrent protection.
Here in the states, the wackiest symbols I can think of are on the California "KIDS" plates
Personally I prefer the Marvin the Martian plates introduced close to 15 years ago to the current emoji they are rolling out.
Many states also have specialty plates [wikipedia.org] with a variety of backgrounds, or with one special image printed on the plate next to the characters.
... This is precisely what we're talking about. There are no symbols in the plate themselves, which includes the emoji. It is purely decorative.

In Delhi they breathe that 24/7. Doubt that is the same as breathing it for a few hours.

So what you're saying is you're satisfied with your car, by CR's standards that means you won't recommend it to others.
I fully trust Consumer Reports ... to change their mind in 5 minutes and put it back on the recommend list. Seriously though I have given up on them too.
Just my 2 cents ;)
I'm getting quite rich of all the 2 cents people have been throwing out about driverless cars. We can sum up with:
"Yeah right! It can't do X". ..."
A few months later "Well I guess it can do X, but it can't do Y".
A few months later "Well I guess it can do Y
Going to be interesting how the failures and collateral damage are handled.
Nope, it's going to be boring and mundane involving perfectly normal engineering capable of putting anyone to sleep.

My first thought on this was that anyone who wants this probably isn't old enough or mature enough to drive.
You don't understand people at all. Hell one of the most popular personalised plates is the one with marvin the martian on it.
Oh right, of course. I'm sure many 8 year olds have an extra $500 to fork over for a personalized license plate. Great plan guys...
Your 17 year old daughter however has $160, and if you think that emojis are reserved for the under 8s then ... well see my first sentence.

You're right I apologize. Since it's "proper" it would have to capitalised. "Footy".
