    Technically speaking, the problem here is when the emails were released.
    If they for example had it before the primaries, they could had released it before Clinton was the dems presidential candidate, stopping her from getting the spot and allowing someone that could defeat trump to defeat trump (as in pretty much anyone else).

  4. Re: Cue the Nazi snowflakes on Twitter Bans, Removes Verified Status of White Supremacists (thedailybeast.com) · · Score: 1

    I want to stop the nazis from growing, but i don't think the methods being applied would work.
    All that banning those people from the twitter do for example is just to give the nazis a talking point of "see how the lefties control the media"?
    The narrative i see they use is that "the lefties controlling the media want to genocide the whites", and they let several tabloid lefty loony shit like saloon to do the job for em, saying that "this is what the WHOLE media actually thinks".

    I'm simply pointing out that this way of dealing with the extreme right is not working, It was small before people were using those methods, and now its quite darn big.
    So something wrong is being done if the goal is to keep the thing small.

    You're creating more of em with this kind of attitude. When you keep moral panicking on the TV about "OMG THE TERRIBLE NAZIS", you will give a lot of kids the wrong idea.
    Before the extreme left started doing all this retarded stuff, we used to just mock the retards pretending to be nazis and it worked brilliantly, keeping the numbers really, really low.

    Well, mostly of the actually sane people just argue that there are left extremists that label everyone they dislike as nazi, and might abuse this to stomp on em.
    Of course, there are some retards that do label themselves as Nazis, and those need to be mocked and ridiculed for supporting such stupid ideas (and truth be told, it's not even that hard given how ridiculous most of em are).
    The one thing you should NOT do is to turn nazis into martyrs or "the edgy thing you do to look cool if compared to the whiney moral panickers", as this only creates more nazis and might even make the movement actually serious.

    A bunch of unprivileged whites did put Trump in power, and if you keep ignoring em, they will do it again.

    Well, their consumers are more inclined to this side than other car companies, so i would say they're a bigger target for people wanting to profit off this weakness.
    Of course, they could be a bunch of hypocrites, like many actual SJWs.

  10. I think it is news, but due the other way around.
    As you can access the thing via USB, now you can in theory create an USB device that knocks the unneeded ME modules off

    The remote management tools are off by default, but you still need the chip on to run the power management software on it, or the CPU turns off in 30 minutes.
    And as it is a black box, it might be doing several other tasks while doing the power management.

    The original IBM PC was overpriced to hell if compared to all the other computers of the time.
    It only "caught on" because the hardware got cloned and sold at a fraction of the price by HP/Compaq/AST/nec/Epson/Tandy etc..

  15. Someone want to catch the Raven ridge train, so it's knocking down AMD a few notches to buy stock.

  16. The ME is actually used for user functions as well. It manages the power states and allows proper remote managing for CPUs with that enabled, but it's still a black box that "for some reason" NSA have disabled on their computers.
    It runs an entire OS with programs and stuff.

    Which is quite sad, as it goes against the very thing that is working for em, that is the online distribution.
    Before steam/gog/etc.. acquiring a pirate game was a lot easier than getting the legal copy, as it didn't depended on convoluted mail schemes or having to hope the physical store have the game you actually want etc.. which made the pirate games "better" than the legal copies.
    But with online distribution, now it is actually easier to get the legal games than it is to pirate it, which makes the legal copy better than the pirate, unless the game have some horrible DRM that decrease the performance or make modding impossible or add a "expiry date" to your game, which pushes the pirate cracked version without those issues back to the top.

  21. Ones can bring endless misery for the human race, cause wars and devastation and the others are gods.

  23. Of course it will scare AMD, you know, when they put a machine running the new chip overclocked next to the AMD's headquarters.
