Given $3 or $4 gets you an actual DVD that you can hold in your hand and own for ever, $20 just to stream something still seems like an insanely blatant rip-off, especialyl considering with streaming they also have zero media manufacture and distribution costs. 4k is nice but I can't see how they can justify that kind of cost difference over 720 or 1080, other than absolute greed and what they think they can get away with.
>> 2.6GHz and 2.8GHz base clocks and 4.4GHz max boost clocks.
They obviously did that for heat/power consumption but single thread performance is gonna suck. My guess is you're only gonna actually see 4.4 Ghz once in a blue moon, and even then it won't be sustainable for more than a few seconds.
This is a desktop processor not a server chip. Single threaded performance is critical.
The touchscreen UI really is the only way to interact with every other function
Not only just because its a massive single point of failure that sounds like it could even prevent you from operating the vehicle, but also because its more dangerous. A touch screen is multifunctional so you can't just know what it is currently controlling. Also there is no tactile feedback. So unlike physical buttons (at least once you're used to them) you invariably have to take your eyes off the road for the duration of what may even be a multi-touch operation to get to the right screen first, which is downright dangerous.
Assuming you really mean the IT department, most of them are fucking useless anyway, because they nearly all see their job as being a gatekeeper rather than an enabler.
>> So your previous post saying this was not true was wrong then? Now all you have to do is admit to being completely uninformed.
Not at all. Not being American it's true that I don't fully understand your system, but you're clearly playing word games and putting words in my mouth. I didn't actually say any such thing. It's actually you that's making self-contradictory claims. Specifically, that all of the electors vote for the ticket that won the majority vote in that state, yet somehow individual votes are meaningless.
Financial penalties then trade sanctions against any country that doesn't honour their commitments..
>> Anyone going to tank their own economy by applying economic sanctions on the US or China?
I agree there would be some economic impact for countries imposing trade sanctions against the US, but probably not as much as most Americans would like to think. America does consume a lot but there are plenty of alternative sources for most things that America exports. Compare that loss to the financial and human cost of a destroyed environment/ecosystem and it's peanuts.
You've just won the prize for the most disingenuous headline of the day. You still have to type with your hands, so its basically fucking pointless because you could just use a keyboard.
>> While many people welcomed the arrival of Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)
Really? No one I know cares or takes it seriously. Hardcore windows users won't go near it because like evyerhting Microsoft does, its a crap implementation and is buggy as fuck, and hardcore Linux users (like me) don't want windows anywhere near anything we do, especially not the parent layer.
>> Paris Climate Agreement needs no renegotiation because it's non-binding,... too little too late, it was a political and diplomatic move without any negative consequences...
Seems like exactly a good reason to renegotiate it. It needs to be both effective and binding.
No vote is meaningless. If the vast majority votes one way and the electoral representative votes the other, I think it would be obvious enough that rep would loose their position. If all the people that are too complacent to vote actually got off their butts and did, chances are it would be a much different world.
...and these are the muppets we are entrusting the future to.
They'll be far too distracted with trivial shit like facetwit, far too worried about their online popularity, and far too leftie/peecee passive to ever do what it takes to defend important stuff like rights/freedoms. Goodbye constitution, hello slavery.
its a waste of time complaining. You just end up trying to explain to a clueless foreign tier 1 phone answerer who can't/won't put you through to anyone with an actual clue..

Thanks for the lecture. What made you think I don't already know all of that?

Under windows especially, the other cores wont ever be idle though.
Beceuse its being marketed as a desktop processor not as a server core.
Totally agree.
Streaming 4k looks crap compared to a just a 1080 blu-ray disc upscaled to 4k by my 60" 4k oled tv..

You have to accept Samsungs/Bixby's terms and conditions to even get to the settings page to turn the Bixby button off.

Sure he would, it just depends on how favourable he perceives the deal for the US is.

Read the article. You still have to type with your hands, so no.

There ya go.
>> the Democrat will win the popular vote in California.
That's what happens when all the CA peecee tree-huggers let a crap ton of illegals vote.
