Isn't this about the time that Intel announces the latest technological innovation that they've been sitting on for 2 years which completely blindsides AMD?

 

I refuse to give money to a company that has been gouging it's customers for the past decade, providing marginal at best performance increases with each generation, all while charging absurd amounts of money.
It's the same reason i don't buy an iPhone.

I've been on AMD for years and i don't plan to switch, regardless of what Intel does.

I did skip a few generations though.

 

****, and I'm only 5'11"...

 

Maybe she'd be OK with it if the total inches add up to 82.

 

In case that doesn't have enough USB ports....

may I present the Thanko 80 port hub:

 

 

Naww, Sixshooter, they have to be similar!


And


Very, very frightening

 

 

P-38 - my favorite plane of WWII (sorry, P-51 dudes).

 

Psshh

F4U Corsair was the best of WWII.

Seeing this one in Pensacola gave me chills.



Knowing it spent a long time at the bottom of lake washington makes it that much more incredible.

 

They are present at a ratio not entirely disproportionate to their graduation from Computer Science and Engineering majors:



I assume Braineack will think that she has some kind of liberal disease based upon the length of her hair.




I've read the early reviews. And like I said, it looks great on paper, and I'm curious to see how it performs in the real world. Maybe AMD will be able to enjoy a few months of relative supremacy in the high-end desktop / workstation market.

As for me, I'm still rockin' an old Core i5-750 that I bought in 2010.






Customarily, yes. At the moment, Intel is having pretty poor yield with the new 10nm process which is expected to be used on Cannonlake, so the next six months or so will be very interesting to watch in that part of the world.



Also, the last page of this thread has been very amusing.

 

Joe, what antenna should I get for my house?

Oilstain's TV Fool

 

You're close enough to Phoenix that pretty much any large indoor antenna will work well for the UHF channels. Protip: "amplified" antennas, at least at consumer price-points, are worthless. They just amplify the noise.

The best indoor DTV antenna I've ever used was one I made myself by nailing a bunch of wire to a piece of plywood in the form of a yagi. Abe Mira's (AbeFM's) 2010 Superbowl Party featured it perched precariously on top of a bookshelf in his living room. The Who really killed it with their halftime performance on that one. I don't remember anything else about that game.

Speaking of which, I haven't seen Abe around here in a while...

ATSC on VHF is hard to pull in well. A lot of stations made the mistake of electing to retain their historical VHF allocation after the NTSC sunset. Originally, everyone was assigned UHF channels for the DTV powerup, but those stations which originally possessed a VHF assignment were given the option to revert back to it after the analog shutdown. A few (including my last station, WPIX, as well as WABC) elected to exercise this option for reasons which are a mystery to me, and it has proven to be a disaster.

When I lived in Hoboken, I could see the top of Empire from my kitchen window, and yet I had a really hard time pulling in my own station (channel 11). The problem is that most modern TV antennas are optimized for the UHF band (where the majority of ATSC stations are located) and perform poorly down at VHF frequencies.

Which reminds me, I'm running low on Sriracha....

 

Yeah tons of click bait with that **** man. Theres all kinds of "benchmarks" and **** for a cpu thats not released yet and wont be released for another 2 weeks.. Read some of the articles and you'll see most of them are full of ads from top to bottom.

 

The whistling death :P

Random question for Joe - why was it that tv stations in the 80s would go off air in the late hours, but current day tv stations broadcast around the clock?

 

 

The key-shift at Beelzebub nailed it.

Precognatively responding to Brainey's forthcoming criticism that they're no-talent *** clowns: Can you sing all of Bohemian Rhapsody, live, with that sort of vocal range, in perfect accent-free Spanish? (They're Colombian.)
