Since I play games and no, Linux is not (yet) a real alternative. But I will be using a gaming only Win10 installation, no email, no browsing, no nothing else that the creeps in Redmond can spy on. For everything else, I already have a nice Linux box and a KVM-switch.
Naaa, that would have been a) scientifically sound and b) would very likely not have shown the outcome they so desire to push their products. Cannot have truth in advertising. It is bad for business. And there are enough morons with money to spend that will believe this crap.
Actual reality is that human visual latency and motor-reactions are so slow that above 25PFS or so, there is no relevant difference in reaction speed in almost all cases. Sure, if you are really, really good, you can maybe get 0.1...1% more kills or so because of some border conditions and to a professional gamer that may matter. But to anybody else high FPS is a purely aesthetic question and has no impact on performance as a gamer. Of course to Nvidia, high FPS means quite a bit more profit and that is the actual driver here.
People with higher FPS have invested more money and hence are very likely more serious than those with lower FPS. In other news, the human visual sensory system and motor system is not equipped to use the higher FPS at all (it can detect them via inference effects though), so the whole interpretation is a lie with very high probability only from that already.
Correlation is not causation. A favorite beginner's mistake, repeated time and again and often made intentional to push faulty ideas in politics, marketing and other disciplines primarily focused of creating a false reality via lies. If you have A~B, you can have A->B or B->A or, and that is often the real situation, there is a C with C->A and C->B.
In this case here, it is very likely that more serious shooter gamers (C) have both better kill rates (A) and higher FPS (B). Also, there is factor D, namely that Nvidia wants to sell higher powered gaming cards to earn more money, which makes even the data suspect and most certainly the interpretation. Caveat emptor.
Indeed. There is no need for more speed, memory, etc. at all at this time. Sure, vendors try to get people to keep buying faster hardware, but there is only so much they can do, battery, heat and form-factor being what they are and screen resolutions already being vastly higher than needed. On the PC side, a 10 year old mid-range machine is still working fine even for gaming, because there are similar limits. The hardware revolution is over, hardware is mostly finished and will now improve only very, very slowly and more in directions like less energy use for the same speed.
Probably people start to get wise and look how long they will be getting updates before buying. Personally, I have an absolute requirement of a replaceable battery and current Lineage being supported or I will simply not buy.
Bullshit. You drink water, right? Do you know how badly secured that infrastructure is in most of the US? Also bullshit because not everybody is vaccinated at the same time or even the same year. And you also overlook that most people are vaccinated at this time without all the crazy stuff you are demanding.
Seriously, stop living in a fantasy world and start accepting that the real does not work according to your ideas.
The body was cremated. Perfectly legal to do, no DNA test possible. And there is a valid death certificate. It may be faked, but you would have to prove that, not the other way round.
Yeah, the actual subject of the confirmation of his death is weirdly absent from the reporting.
Probably because there is enough legal proof that anybody claiming differently would have to have proof to the contrary or open themselves up to a libel lawsuit. Obvious though as it is that something fishy is going on, a death certificate is legal proof and you cannot just ignore it.
How would a "DNA proof" that he was dead even look like? If he was cremated (which is perfectly legal), then there would be no DNA. Basically the death certificate is what you get and it is legal proof, that is just how things are set up.
Also, it is quite possible the money is gone. Stealing $137M is pretty gutsy. However doing speculation with it and losing it all is a lot less so and has been done before. The current obvious cover story could then just be a desperate attempt to hide what has happened, not actual theft.
So corrupting other services with exploit code that is worth quite a bit? Not really harder to spot. You really have no clue what you are talking about.
Nobody ever has found any good way to implement ephemeral messaging. Facebook will do no better. You can always do screenshots. However the push for encryption and refusal to be present in countries that ban or backdoor it would be finally one good thing out of Facebook. That is if they mean it.
Well, ACs in general are stupid and you are no exception. Who said anything about putting their parents in prison? You did. The kids in foster-care? You did. Not needed. Simply arrest the whole bunch and set them free again after a 5 minute trip to the next hospital for the kids. I see no need for any punishments either. Punishment has never done anything about stupidity.
Of course, if any of the parents decide that a shoot-out with the police is less risk than the vaccination, that is something else. But in that case they were psychos to begin with.
I really don't want that step towards the police state. But anti-vaxxers are basically forcing it by ignoring the reality of measles epidemiology. Another thing they get wrong. The measles outbreaks do not happen because the _measles_ want a police state. They are happening because that is how the disease works and because it is infectious like crazy and just a few percent of non-vaccinated people can tip the balance. That means the anti-vaxxers are forcing the hand of the state. Not good at all.

Who would have thought. Oh, right, I learned that about 30 years ago at university in my CS studies.
This has happened. It has led to changes, as it is considered an unfair advantage.
You have no clue. 25Hz on a 60Hz display gives you inference. You just failed physics 101.
Probably. But there are far too many people with Stockholm Syndrome where Windows is concerned.
Will do the same once the Win7 on my laptops goes out of service. Performance should be just fine and Linux gives a real firewall in addition.

Indeed. And as a scientist, junk science like this pisses me off. It gives Science a bad name.
That speed is at 24 FPS for most of the population. That is why that is frame-rate used by quality movies. You know, the classical stuff on celluloid.
Naaa, that would have been a) scientifically sound and b) would very likely not have shown the outcome they so desire to push their products.

Fascinating. On would assume most people in the west have arrived in modern, enlightened times, but then cave-men like you show up.
Corporate greed and stupidity is the name of the game for a lot of tech products these days.

Paranoia and insight do not mix. Your statement is a nice example of that.
It is also one of the most stupid fallacies possible: Look over there, there is a problem that is worse! Stop dealing with this problem already!
Some people just do not have any rationality, just irrational fear and hate.
