  1. YIKES! https://www.zdnet.com/article/plex-media-servers-are-being-abused-for-ddos-attacks/
  2. I see it more as being geared more for small business,they could have an office computer for less than $70.00 plus the subscription and a monitor.The pics show a system that could actually run the cpu/4GB ram license cloud system easily with the only delay really being the internet speed.(system has same 4GB of ram installed)This would make it easier on start up companies hardware wise.For that matter,it would even run off a firestick from what I could gather,all you'd need is a monitor to plug the stick into & a bluetooth keyboard/mouse combo.?
  3. C'mon, I'm sure they'll squeeze 1 more variant out.We have room for 2 more 3060 cards, the 3060 with 6Gb of ram & the 3060ti with 4 GB of ram.Both of which will be using the 2070s gpu's. ? Or have the 3060 gpu with about half the cores working... Nvidia will just box them like they did the 1060 6GB & the 1060 3GB cards,after all,they were Soooo straight forward to the common person buying off the shelf.?
  4. U can look for a sticker saying it supports it, but I'd look for the boards that have Flashback/Q-Flash support as they allow bios updates via USB without a supported cpu. Also this option is always there.... https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/faq/pa-105 short term boot loan kit from amd (if all else fails)
  5. When I built my system,the 5xx series wasn't out. I went with the x470 AORUS ULTRA Gaming from Gigabyte and haven't had any complaints using my 2700x in it. I'd imagine the x570 would show the same dependability.Was also a nice price @ the time.
  6. As I was reading this,I also was curious if some of your downloading issue might not be at Steams end,I was having issues updating several older games,and also 2 current games that had updates(dying light and destiny 2) I ended up having to disconnect from steam and reconnect to get the dying light download to restart @ a halfway normal speed(was STILL slow).The others took the rest of the day on a 400MBs. Would be interesting to know if the others without issues are going through other sites such as GOG or Epic....
  7. yeah, I think I got lucky when I found my buddy a zotac gtx 1060 AMP! edition that was refurbed on their site on ebay a couple months ago for around $170 after taxes and shipping. Now used 1's are listing @ $240 & up in the by now section, and new 1's are listing for $349.99? People will try to make as much as they can when there's a shortage.
  8. which kinda makes making money off clicking on a link to them without them getting a share seem even more of a raw deal.They aren't paying for the hosting,the media site is.
  9. If they release the 3080ti with 20Gb cheaper than a 3090, they can ALWAYS release a 3090 with 32Gb of Ram and call it the Titan32! ? Say a MSRP* price around $2199.00.... I'm sure there would be people who'd upgrade.
  10. In order, the 2 screenshots show a simple web search for "national guard parking garage" performed on Google and on Bing. BOTH show quite a bit of detail in the results(enough so that you can get the gist of the issue without reading the story). Google had an add on the main search result page,Bing did not. (unless firefox browser blocked them unknowingly to me)ABP was off for the search both times and was performed in their own tabs. In a way,this is really not that different from the monetized videos on youtube.You click on 1 of them,youtube gets money and the poster gets money.You don't click no one gets the money from the ad. The story providers are looking to have their links become "monetized" on sites that are ad supported since they are helping draw people there. At least that's how I am seeing this.It would take work on BOTH sides to actually work,the search engines,and the content provider would have to have something in THEIR site detecting if a person was coming from a 3rd party link and charge that link appropriately.
  11. if anyone is still trying to track the items, have you tried https://www.stockinformer.com/ here's a screenshot of some items and retailers they track,if U don't want to register,just leave a tab open in a browser on a comp that's running for the bell tone to notify you.(it'll still track & update if your registered or not)
  12. I think the semi logic is that Google is collecting from their advertisers every time we click on a link,so the media people figure they are providing the substance of the link we are clicking on,so google should be kicking back some of it to them.?
  13. lol, Well,now that I've been called, "stupid","dumb","selfish",MAYBE the name caller would like to address the ACTUAL points of the post? The points had nothing to do with Social Media censoring people. It had to do with AWS removing a client who had paid for their service because they disagreed with SOME of the things on the clients app. Are WE here at extremehw.net by any chance hosted on AWS? If so,then who knows if we may not be the next to be removed because we don't conform to Amazon's "look". As for being thrown out of a bar,or not having to bake a cake,the difference is that there are thousands & thousands of other bars & bakery's that the customer can go to if denied service.As for Cloud/web service providers,the big 3 are AWS,Google,and Microsoft. AWS removed the client and Google removed their app from their store.I don't know if Microsoft had it in their store or not,but do you think they'd willingly pick up what the other 2 dropped with that publicity? We keep hearing about "the right to access to the internet"but nobody talks about who actually CONTROLS what we're able to access. And please note I've NOT brought politics into this OR been nasty in any way.
  14. lol, believe it or not,I've actually had a system using RD-RAM. The 1.3 Ghz P4 willamette and I've STILL got the ram I purchased for it. My complaint was the cost compared to sdram sticks.
  15. What happens the next time Amazon doesn't agree with someone? The Screenshot shows the MS services hosted on aws,what if they have a dispute with MS?They can say that MS doesn't play nice and they feel their customers will be safer without that influence and 'POOF!" companies using MS on aws are shut down. OR if a court action goes against them in the U.S. "With over 6,500 government agencies using AWS, we understand the requirements U.S. government agencies have to balance economy and agility with security, compliance, and reliability. In every instance, we have been among the first to solve government compliance challenges facing cloud computing and have consistently helped our customers navigate procurement and policy issues related to adoption of cloud computing. AWS provides commercial cloud capability across all classification levels: Unclassified, Sensitive, Secret, and Top Secret making it possible to execute missions with a common set of tools, a constant flow of the latest technology, and the flexibility to rapidly scale with the mission." Suddenly aws will be suffering speed issues,servers going down,etc,until the govt. reverses it's stance in Amazons favor.Then "Bamn" everything will be working normal again. THAT'S what can happen when the service supplier is the 1 deciding who gets the services.
  16. I always felt that a private/corp run internet was better than a state run internet because,duh,the lack of censorship. Now I'm beginning to wonder if maybe a democratically state run internet may not be better.At least then,customers would be protected by the law and due process not just being able to randomly be removed because it fits an agenda or market line. Two separate stories in the same news journal with opposing view points,but regardless they say the same thing.The companies at this time can do what they want. THAT should scare us. https://qz.com/1956380/amazons-parler-ban-displays-big-techs-power-over-online-speech/?utm_source=YPL https://qz.com/work/1956070/internet-infrastructure-companies-should-be-public-utilities/ ?
  17. Quartz aka qz.com might want to be added even though it has little following.

    1. ENTERPRISE

  18. https://fb.watch/2ZyMXWqFST/ has some results with the new Snapdragon 888 chipset vs the 865 chipset.
  19. "I'm proud to be a Coin Mining Scalper..,I'll get my cards ANYWAY that I can..." ? The song that'll soon be heard echoing on every tech site around the world as gpu supplies dry up.
  20. FOCUS people,the thread isn't about how much money Apple makes vs Amazon,ect., it's about the companies supplying parts and building electronics having poor management @ the top and it effects the workers. These companies moved to India to A. get around tariffs from China,B.Get around the Import duty that India charges on all electronics."Assembling handsets in India enables smartphone vendors to avoid roughly 20% import duty that the Indian government levies on imported electronics products." In other words,your $1000.00 iphone cost $1200 in India if it's assembled anywhere but there.
  21. I let it ck my hardware a couple times a year so it can keep up with the game releases if I want to ck how the required/recommended specs fair against my comp.I have 2 different comps with the same steam acct so it detects which comp it is I'm on.
  22. Maybe trying to make this look yummy to the people? https://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-to-replace-its-many-mail-variants-with-one-outlook/?ftag=TRE-03-10aaa6b&bhid=26489920132515480536915462877029&mid=13224373&cid=1295433119 "Microsoft looks to be finally moving to a true, single Outlook client, but it may not be available as part of Windows 10 until 2022, according to a new report."
  23. Not looking for LESS expensive per se,(I paid roughly $600 after taxes for my non Super 2070 when I bought it 5 months after release) What I'd like to see is a second generation of a card NOT being released less than a year after the first with better performance @ a cheaper price.THAT really triggers buyers remorse and makes people bitter towards the maker when they release THREE cards in 3 years time. 10/2018 sees the 2070 released,07/2019 sees the Super variant with 32 more Tensor cores ect., on it.And 10/29/2020 sees the RTX 3070 released. Will we see another in 10/2021??? When will the card a year madness end? My previous card purchase was a GTX 970 in 2015 and only reason I really looked to upgrade was the RTX and DLSS features.So to have my purchase "outclassed" less than a year after it's release by it's own company @ a cheaper price kinda hurt. When I upgrade again, Intel may FINALLY have a card competing or if AMD is still doing well,I'll look at their offerings.Nvidia has taken my final dollar on a NEW purchase unless it's the ONLY choice.
