I'd like to see him come up with something like the 5g modem setup you're talking about for apt's. that would be great for alot of city people and cause the cable internet providers to actually compete!

lol, Other countries have their own down sides compared to us... https://koditips.com/blocked-kodi-streams-uk/ or maybe.... https://www.broadbandgenie.co.uk/broadband/help/isp-web-blocking-filters

Seriously. U can't even trust it to just ck e-mail because there's no way to tell what may be embedded in an ad that's on the page. Note the ads from the right hand side of my yahoo mail page.

I wonder if the mobile pc chips are vulnerable? https://www.qualcomm.com/products/mobile-pcs

exactly, and here,where the cable company pays an "access fee" to the city for use of the poles,ect.,they pass that along to the consumers in an added monthly charge.Also,the BIGGEST joke is passing along to the consumer the universal service fund fee. " The Universal Service Fund is paid for by contributions from providers of telecommunications based of an assessment on their interstate and internation end-user revenues. Examples of entities that contribute to the Fund are telecommunications carriers, including wireline and wireless companies, and interconnected Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) providers, including cable companies that provide voice service."

P.S. all the 10nm intel cpu's to date are mobile processors so they aren't really holding their own on the desktop cpu in the 10nm scene,Unless you are looking @ multi processor xeon systems? https://www.anandtech.com/show/15862/intel-launches-cooper-lake-3rd-generation-xeon-scalable-for-4p8p-servers see the specs for the 10th gen i5 included with post.

OR plans with caps are popular because there aren't any other options in your area available. lol, Near where I am,the option for a friend to get internet was limited to Dial-up or Satellite.AT&T didn't offer dsl,& cable stopped down the road from him. This is in a city of 37,000+ people.Sometimes U take what's available even if it sucks.

It just feels like 1 betrayal after another. HOW long did they ignore meltdown/spectre and just keep making the cpu's with the flaw in them? Hmmm, here's a list of the Intel cpu's And then when AMD comes out with Ryzen and loads of cores @ an affordable rate,Intel's like "Oh! We can add cores,and we'll even have lots of cores on the same size cpu as AMD soon.Just give us time." So,we as consumers drank the Flav'R Aid again and either waited on them,or bought the latest offering thinking we might be able to upgrade (like AMD let us from the 2000 series to 3000 series on the x470 chipset even having support for pcie4.0)but what happens? We hear "Oh,so sorry,we're not even going to be able to make our own 7nm processor,we have to send out for it." Then the data breach that says they've been hiding MORE issues & doing nothing about them? people feel betrayed and it makes them feel angry. Edit: Wanted to add China's response to Intel's Life Alert call during the last meeting about the 7nm process....

lol,what I love is I ran across 1 story where Intel is saying they're investigating the validity of the data breach. "Nothing to see here! Nobody has their vaseline so JUST MOVE ALONG!"

The hate they are getting is because they told their investors @ several quarterly meetings that the 7nm process was right on track & there were kinda no issues with it being released on schedule.So,investors kept their money where it was,stock DIDN'T drop because people were like "Oh,well Intel's 7nm will be out soon & even better than AMD's" when AMD released ryzen & started showing some competition.When they Finally announced the delay, the stock dropped 18%.Kinda gives ya an idea they were counting on that in the investment side of things. https://www.techradar.com/news/intel-7nm-cpu-delay-sees-shares-slump-as-it-falls-further-behind-amd-ryzen

ROTFL "Dang Sparky! When it rains it POURS!" Intel Accused of Infringing FinFET Patents of the Microelectronics Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences | TechPowerUp

Very nice presentation! If my work bench skills were bit less sloppy I'd be seriously thinking of how many dead cards on ebay might be saved with this. And the wife would be asking "Why are you getting another card for a computer U don't even use?" LOL Seriously,a very nice write up that made things easy to understand and explained what I was looking @ very well.:thumbs_thumbup:

lol,I,and others,had to fight with their forum people on the msi gaming app for the gtx 900 series cards. They had to release FOUR updates after the released update broke it (it was causing high/constant cpu usage of 4-6% @ idle). It's STILL broken as it doesn't offer the full set of features it did when I bought my card. They moved the RGB lighting control for the 1000series & up over to mystic light & left the most basic in the gaming app for people with older cards. They STILL can't keep up with Windows updates,half the time I wait 5-6 months to see if they worked the bugs out of their updates. It's sad that Afterburner is supported better than the MSI Gaming App.(said app lets U switch your card from silent,to regular,to O.C. settings)and half the time it doesn't even open,or it crashes. Here's the thread I started, the 1 I found and was several pages of arguing & showing proof that the update didn't work is no longer there. (big surprise!) https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threads/msi-gaming-app-failure-after-installing-windows-10-fall-creators-update.294053/

Damn! "Say it's great or we cut you off!" I knew they were doing some shady crap,but this is really something.

The more I keep reading, the more I keep picturing Wile E. Coyote ordering from the Acme catalog saying "I need a 7nm cpu to catch the AMD road runner..." and TSMC drops this massive chip on his head while you hear a "beep beep" from the back ground.

And people have started being thrown under the bus! https://www.anandtech.com/show/15932/intel-reorganizes-in-wake-of-7nm-woes-chief-engineering-officer-murthy-renduchintala-to-depart

Looks like it's MORE than just trouble with the process... Intel 7nm Delay Fallout: Law Firm Launches Securities Fraud Investigation | Tom's Hardware

When I was first reading the stories yesterday,All I could picture was the Intel ceo's laying on the floor holding a CPU or a discrete graphics card up in the air and all hollering "HELP! I'm broken and I can't get up!" while AMD is in the background saying "Don't worry Intel! We have your consumers backs!" :friends_gathering:

I know! I'd come down off this rant if they'd only make it so you could tell the difference between them without having to look up serial# differences or actually plug the card in. Just make it so we can tell them apart IN THE BOX.

Like I was telling the wife,when someone goes into bestbuy or walmart looking for a card and sees 3 of the same gtx 1650 video cards in the display with the same amount of ram & 1 is on sale for 75 dollars less,they're most likely gonna grab the 1 on sale unless ALL the specs are out in the open for comparison. She said "they can ask the sales person" & I just laughed. When I bought my psu @ bestbuy,I had to return 1 that was flakey(low voltage out put) and the person asked me if that would matter?

ANOTHER way to confuse the consumer. Just like the 1060 3Gb & 6Gb. The 6Gb version had MORE shaders and TMU's but it didn't SAY that ANYWHERE on the boxes. Only that it had 6Gb of ram. the other only said it had 3Gb of ram.You'd think the ONLY diff was the vram,but it wasn't! The only way to tell was to look online,or ask someone who knew.If buying off a shelf,good luck. This will be the same thing. people will buy the one on sale,not knowing it has an older gpu. Like I said elsewhere, HOW MANY CARDS CAN NVIDIA RELEASE WITH THE SAME NAME??? :rolleyes:

I spent close to $1400 on a new build a year ago last April.Since then,the cpu has is already releasing it's 2nd generation advance(I have the 2700xt),the video card releasing IT'S second generation advance(I have the original RTX 2070),memory is going to a new format(i have ddr4, ddr5 is coming out),lucky for me my board can upgrade to pcie4 IF I buy a 3rd generation cpu. I know it seems like a low end build to many of you,but some of us can't afford to toss 1/10th of their yearly income into a new comp every year to keep up with the times. If the companies DON'T realize this,and start either pricing realistically,or releasing on a more stable base(see posted listing @ bottom for punch line.)they're going to lose the people who AREN'T extreme enthusiast and OEM's will just gain more buyers. Punch line = RTX 2060,2070,2080 and THEN RTX 2060S,2070S,2080S not to mention the GTX1600 series that has a NEW GTX 1650 being released(HOW many cards can you release with the SAME NAME???) anything to confuse the consumer and make purchasing for the average person MORE frustrating. All this is just illustrating why I won't be upgrading anytime soon. It'll wait until I make a complete build again.@ least a couple of years,more likely 5.

I read another story saying pretty much the same.The 3rd party card makers would most likely be including adapters,some high end psu's with plug in options would offer a plug in 12 pin cable to purchase.And of course we'll have "knock off" adapters a week after the official ones come out. lol, should be interesting when people with 400w psu's try running some 350w Ampere card in their system.... "But I got the adapter...."

I ran across this in the comments in the article and just had to laugh 'cause it was true... "Funny how when AMD has a power hungry GPU every one thinks power consumption is everything but when Nvidia hints at an upcoming power hungry atrocity everyone's cool with it."

Razzin Frazzin!
