I'm tired of this nonsense, that companies like facebook and a like are representing the "tech" industry, it's just fucking ridiculous. Hire 20 year old graduate to design cars, CPUs or circuit boards, buildings etc, that's tech, not FB...replying to mails at FB support anyone can do. It's just...

That's why I never got into these cryptocurrencies, they are seen so much safer than banks, yet I don't know of a bank robbery where someone would stole 400 million just like that.

While lung cancer can hit also on people who don't smoke, nor even passively, I'm glad I quit smoking that crap. Topic: While I don't really find this way of telling about death appropriate, I can respect that since dying of loved is quite frustrating situation and some people just want to get...

Long ago when I still played CS and Quake 3 in internet cafes this behavior I seen daily, nerd rage, screaming, even smashing up the equipment and more, so this one really doesn't surprise me. (PS I loved to piss off these guys in games :D )

Pity it is getting canceled, it's one of the oldest programs I continuously use for 14 years now. Gonna still use it, there is nothing I like more.

I ofc do not agree with this state of industry, I also dont know why they dont fix it and wjy they also use that heavy AG coating, but It's nowhere near bizzare. I mean, even expensive screens are mass produced and simply are sold to general public. Things that are highly specialized in any...

Some people here dont understand that not everyone is staring to screen 24/7 and putting life values to it. There are things you dont care about too and others are chosing the finest quality in this respect. e.g. hardcore computer nerd oftenly is not even following basic hygiene while having...

Microsoft was fined several times by either US and EU regulators because of attacking other companies who started with competing programs - media players, instant messaging and browser wars were all effort to bring down the competition. Intel and Apple are also notable for doing this. On...

I don't understand how these companies are in loss, sony products are after samsung and LG virtually everywhere - phones, cameras, TVs, laptops, consoles etc I don't know wtf is going on these days where even the biggest companies report loss in hundreds of millions.

AMD stated that it's not true and they are continuing in developing those architectures.

something for hardcore fans of heritage vehicles :)

This, I thought I am alone in it, they are programs or applications not apps...:cool:

Don't know specific laptop model but for sure you need to get a quad core mobile i7(has QM after type number), not the dual core one, and at least 17" IPS screen(optional on mobile Dell workstations)

ok will do that instead thanks

Don't be this strict mate, there are not alot of GFs hanging around who do use i7s:D

I'm thinking of extending my laptop uptime on battery to 5 hours when outside and I thought if there is any way how to disable second core to save some battery time when I don't need extra performance. Didn't find anything like that in bios as it is possible on desktop computers.

I would not do it at all, didn't take anything from her or ask about it, if you are rich enough to give i7 and ipad, get yourself 3770 also, what's the problem

How they gonna keep track of that stuff? It's kinda stupid idea because you can actually hack the vehicle electronics and reprogram it to however you like(unblock speed limiter) without being punished.

I didn't speak about enthusiasts at all, but I meant there are alot of professionals who don't see into technical stuff about computers and they bought intel as well because intel is more recommended and their CPUs win benchmarks, intel is also more profitable because they have more fabs and...

What is not in favor of AMD either is way too high media coverage and overrated intel benchmarks. If there wouldn't be all this shit in magazines and websites reviewing hardware around the world. I'm sure that 90% of those having AMD didn't even notice they are running "slower" AMD CPU. Or intel...

Sometimes I don't understand what is that enthusiast platform everyone is speaking about. Was either AMD or Intel ever focused on enthusiast platfrom? The only "enthusiast" cpu from AMD was Athlon 64 FX, from intel there were also only the few in history mainly P4 extreme, C2 extreme and...

The physical conception of the human brain does not allow multitasking at all, so while we try to do more tasks at once we are not doing any of them enough as if we would do when doing a single task, proved, just think about how you work.

When I played games, it did affect my sleep pretty badly, I slept shorter time, was falling asleep way longer and I had a bad dreams mostly, it depends on individuals but it's definite true that games are making mess in your head either mental or physiological.

The problems you experience are because of low memory mostly, there is no other reason than low memory when your system is frozen for 15 sec after quitting game

I'm sure alot of them are geniuses, but it's not longer about a hero saving the whole story from down up. Current situation at AMD has roots in history in fact.

Yes that's true, but what I don't understand is why people always see it as wrong, what's wrong with being budget brand, We have budget mobos, cars, cases, monitor, audio-video hardware and more, so why not CPUs. Although honestly intel for a while already overtakes AMD on the low end segment as...

You don't understand well the difference between desktop and mobile processor, technically there is no difference between those, the difference is only in different package (mobiles come in PGA package and have no heat shield) and being downgraded, binned lower, removed extra features you see on...

Tablets and smartphones are not able to replace laptops. Smartphones and tablets are something I personally(but seems alot people)find very annoying to use for basic computing tasks such as browsing internet or viewing pictures or videos or whatever else. They are now "in" current trends and...

using firefox forces me quite often to open ie/chrome instead because its freezing alot and playing hires flash videos is success without a crash. I stil use ie8 tho because ie 9 has the most annoying and un-practical interface since IE's debut in 1994

Pure coincidence, would probably happen even if you would only regularly reboot/turn on-off computer.

Same, that fact that admins of this site are not running ASrocks in their personal computers doesn't mean the brand is not quality and should be avoided, including this pointless thread where OP didn't even read up on their site about subject of this thread and still had urge to blame the company.

The situation you mentioned may occur, but it is very rare chance it will ever happen to anyone, oh and...are you sure it is good idea to go to places where drugs are sold and are additionally supervised?

I don't understand why people are always concerned about public surveillance, only people who are either doing something illegal and/or immoral and have to hide something are worried they are going to be captured and caught. When I'm outside I don't care at all who seen me, who captured me and...

The release of win 8 does not leave any impact on existing users either, the only difference is that the MS will drop security updates over a time and that is something bad about this issue. Both XP and Vista get support dropped in Q2 2014 and Windows 7 in 2017. Although I don't believe that Win...

Not correct, coil whine does come up only in certain situations, the circuitry inside the computer is constantly switching and changing the paths the current flows through. There is nothing you actually can do to avoid coil whine, either as a customer and either as a manufacturer, perhaps...

I'm sure in the future there will be ways of connecting visual cortex with mobile computer or phone that will generate a HUD in your vision field that would display information you require. Nowadays we see it in action/scifi movies. In fact you could cheat in casino that way for infinite money...

GM Crash-Avoidance System is only thing that is good on that list

Is ok when politicians do wars, steal, punish citizens, drive drunk and are involved in state-wide and international frauds, all that is fine. But when they are playing computer game that's wrong. Where are we really going?

I'm going to double post cause we were writing both in the same time, you are so right! I sometimes see a movies where they have silent or barely speaking protagonists and there is nothing worse than lack of communication in movies, very boring and annoying.

Half Life was not this mysterious, in fact the power was still working after the explosion, and I don't remember there were any female scientists in the game(Half Life 1)?? Seems the only women that appeared in the game were assassins.
