  1. Re:I disagree on Food Taste 'Not Protected By Copyright,' EU Court Rules (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    How isn't an antenna design or the layout & shape of a controller or phone "just facts"? Then again they aren't protected by copyright.

    And I kinda feel like if someone make a new antenna now at-least as long as it's not revolutionary it's based on knowledge from antenna designs from before.

    Personally I may think patent systems are worse than what they are good though I'd admit they give a reason to take more risk than otherwise, then again that doesn't mean risk taking wouldn't had happened otherwise and that progressive development while freely using all other designs wouldn't had been better than trying to come up with something new while avoiding the old solutions.

  4. I disagree on Food Taste 'Not Protected By Copyright,' EU Court Rules (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Here we've got potato chips with dill & chives. At-least two manufacturers make them but how wouldn't "a potato chips with dill & chives" be specific and objective? Sure you can argue the actual taste is more complex than that but if we compare with a patent it's easy. Then again I'm not sure just making all current recipe public property and any change onwards protected by copyright law as someones unique creation but I'm unsure I agree with their reasoning.

    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.

    So are taxes on foreign workers.
    When you buy their work you're definitely paying for the tax part too.

    But by only taxing their work you can buy from someone else instead.

    The point is mostly that the "Glorious PC master race" user has a peasant PC with worse performance than the latest console gen.

    There's definitely exceptions but it's completely wrong to assume that PCs has better hardware. They can have but most won't.

    GamersNexus made a video where he took the SilverStone RL06 case which has great air-flow and limited the noise level to the BeQuiet SilentBase 601 or whatever it's called.

    It achived quite a bit better CPU temp but a bit worse on GPU temp, but all in all I guess one could say better.

    There's of course the possibility the noise dampening remove more annoying noise but for noise level it seem like one doesn't have to spend more money but could just spin the fans slower instead in a cheaper well ventilated case.

    I haven't even bought my Noctua fan myself but they have sent me thermal paste with fan mounting thingies, AM4 and Socket 115x kits in three different packages to me free of charge. Personally I'm not sure the AIO or custom loop coolers are worth the price (or risk) but I would be fine paying even a bit extra for Noctua stuff considering the amazing customer support (and MTBF & warranty.)
