    Pretty sure he means GPU prices are finally going to return to sane levels now that the shine on dunning-krugerrands is wearing off.

    Yea if that's the case he's missed the boat on high end cards and is about to miss it on mid-range cards. Nvidia's price hike on the 20x0 series along with their lackluster performance increase over past gen, and the depletion of the 10x0 series cards as they are discontinued and start to sell out has driven prices back up to near last early 2018 levels for 1080's and 1080ti's. Best bet right now is a used card and better hurry before those start going back up.

  5. The police can take over the car remotely, but only after supplying the correct PIN, given to them by the owner.

    Which, 99% of the time, will be stored, by the owner, in the glove box. Because it's car and car stuff goes in the glove box.

    I use a Corsair K95 RGB (the non-RGB had problems with the backlighting). Cherry MX Brown switches and 18 dedicated macro keys are what sold me. I even bought a spare that's still in the box in a closet when they discontinued the 18 macro key model.

  9. Re:PS4 on PlayStation 4 Outsold Xbox One and Switch in October (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It sold more originally because of XBOX's misteps at the E3 announcement for the XBONE, trying to push digital and make resale of physical harder by tying it to a digital copy license (hilarious since even that year digital was already selling 2:1 vs physical, and it's closed to 5:1 today and people think you are a weirdo for buying physical). So it got off to a bad start, even after MS backtracked on physical media.

    Today it's still being outsold because Microsoft decided to not focus on platform exclusives while Sony doubled down on them. As anti-consumer as exclusives are, most console gamers actually bitch about it if a platform doesn't have them. They are not the brightest bunch, but Sony sure loves them for it. They have a bunch of platform exclusive titles and they also took over deals MS had but didn't renew with companies like Activision for timed exclusives for some of their AAA titles.

    In that case the real G Suite account wasn't compromised, someone made a look-alike account and got the tweet promoted. Note in the article there isn't a check-mark on the scam tweet's account. Twitter does support hardware tokens, such as the Google Titan Fido U2F keys, which I'm sure the G Suite employees all have (since Google made them mandatory for employees/contractors).

    It's not the fastest desktop processor when it trails 24 and 32 core ThreadRippers.

    That's not how it works. Fastest doesn't mean slower.

    I didn't realize Intel was releasing ThreadRipper CPUs.

    It's not a conceit. It's part of their plan to always provide you with the optimal pricing. The optimal pricing that will still induce you to buy the product while maximizing their profit.

    Far too many times I have heard of a product I wanted being available on Amazon for some ridiculously low price that made buying it a no brainer, only to find out that when I logged in with my Amazon account to buy it, the price had gone up to the point I was no longer interested.

    Yes, and a conceit Amazon had to make when printing a paper catalog was to not put prices in it.
