  2. Re:Same old companies on Europe Is Getting a Network of 'Ultra-Fast, High-Powered' EV Chargers (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    First off, you cannot get kicked out of the Eurozone, nor from E.U., different entities; you can leave but not get kicked(or forced by some means). Secondly, Greek put their money into real estate... that's where they invest, houses and farms(and that happened before the governments after 2010 started overtaxing houses ). Whoever writes about Greeks investing in cars, and especially German ones is either an idiot or twice an idiot. German cars were used there as in every other part of the world, "nouveau riches" showing their upgrade to a wealthier class by getting overpriced, overweight, under-steering carts. Anyhow, our topic(you can continue telling us your bizarre jokes, though) is not how crap the media are, or their falsely written reports/articles, but how the hell those bloody corporations get the job done, by sucking money from countries, organizations, funds, while they are selling products using customer scumming(and many times, government scumming).

  3. Same old companies on Europe Is Getting a Network of 'Ultra-Fast, High-Powered' EV Chargers (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Daimler has a long history of corruption, one of their fields of interest is debt in Greece... selling buses,cars,trains,etc to that government either over overpriced or unsuitable. VW, well the diesel scum is one of the many things that they do across europe. I bet the main electronics will come from the other overcorrupted-pay politicians to close deals Siemens, and why wouldn't they involve other corrupted and german industry giants!! Just send us the f'ing bill already, coz EU idiots like myself are going to pay overcorrupted german companies to "evolve" the E.U..

  4. Re:Use Thunderbolt or forget it AMD on AMD Wants To Standardize the External GPU (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 0

    First off, thunderbolt is by itself a massive security hole and paired with crapple devices leads to massive laughter meltdowns. Secondly, thunderbolt has been several years on the market, and yet has not set the ground to become the next big thing... unlike USB 3.1/Type-C. Lastly, thunderbolt is expensive, no-one is gonna buy something that costs as much as a small GPU; cable cost, loyalties, fees, e.t.c.

  5. Thank you good sir for stating the obvious that everyone oversees(it's not that obvious after all). Facebook,twitter and the rest of the social media, offer 0, that's _zero_, to the public. I wish there was a test before you were allowed to let your kids or yourself get exposed to that part of the internet.

    I guess the term "expert" doesn't mean what I thought it meant. We were breaking locks from our bikes' chains, that we lost the keys, like that when we were 10 or 12. I guess with all the facebook and apple users nowadays, the standards have lowered.

    They don't even care about IBM.
    They could've bought IBM in one night.
    Foxconn alone is 3 times the IBM in simple numbers and makes everything.
    Huawei another company that makes the rest of what Foxconn does not make.
    IBM is already sold many parts to the chinese, Lenovo being one of them, and the rest are sold here and there.
    It's just the rule. They are so important, as a market, that they can even make IBM to obey every rule they want.

  13. Re:China's Source Code on IBM Permits China To Review Source Code (wsj.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    If there is a rule that a chinese company has to have its code reviewed by the U.S. Ministry of Something and that company wants to enter the market of the U.S. (not America, America is a continent) then that chinese company will have to obey the rules.
    That's what IBM is doing, they are entering a new sandbox, with different laws and different corruption that the U.S..

    Bottom line is, noone forces IBM to comply with chinese laws and enter that market and vice versa. They are willing to do it.

  14. The benchmarks in the linux section show both cpus on par, except the scientific section where I can speculate that the non-existent avx2 instruction make that much difference when comparing with a 3 yo chip (but prolly it's using avx512 which _expands_ the classic AVX ISA doubling the width of the instruction from 256 to 512).
    I don't see any gpu comparisons, therefore I cannot agree to your second assumptions\.
    Thus, I am going to stand on my first post.

    You do realize though that it is a very convenient solution for those who do not want a Desktop along with their laptop and do not want to waste several thousands on an expensive laptop with a mid-range desktop GPU that overheats the laptop. The only drawback with eGPUs is that laptops do not come with x2,x4,x8 or x16 pcie slots. Everything is done via the wifi's x1 PCIe. (the ultrabay on my y410p is a proprietary x8 connector)

    Ok, the full fat Fiji chip is tempting, but I'd expect a 50$ less MSPR due to the cheaper cooling solution. The Nano is a wonderfull suloution for those who use a eGPU for gaming. I'd like to see a Gaming box w/ a small factor PSU and a mPCI-e cord.
