    Why would you even go "unzip" given the title ;)

    AMD Cinebench Benchmark Demo at CES 2019 Buries the Current Intel Lineup

    AMD beating or even slightly loosing at half the power consumption is a huge deal when it comes to server farms. We already knew this from Epyc but this hammers it in even further.

    AMD Is Developing a DXR Capable GPU and More Third Generation AMD Ryzen News

    Silly argument, RTX is a DX12 feature and how many generations didn't it take for DX12 to be adopted... uh wait it still isn't... Using that as an argument to validate a 2080 purchase is just crazy and you would be better of referencing DLSS which is probably more of a key feature at this point...

    AMD Previews 7nm Ryzen CPUs at CES

    I don't think anyone just accepts rumours/leaks as facts, however I am not sure the leak is so far off from facts as it seems the on stage performance matches the Ryzen 5 3600X in the leak. It is interesting to see it actually beat the 9900k which indicates either an IPC advantage, Cinebench...

    AMD Previews 7nm Ryzen CPUs at CES

    I think they only wanted to show zen2 but not too much, and running an 8c comparison is smarter as it saves the big surprise for the actual product launch.

    AMD Previews 7nm Ryzen CPUs at CES

    A little disappointed that the launch will be close to the midyear, this would mean we have products towards back to school/early summer which is later than I expected. However given that its a sample with non finalized score and it beats the 9900k is impressive.

    Linus Torvalds is Taking a Break from Linux Development

    Torwalds always needed to take a chill pill so that is not what annoys me, what does is however the idiotic update of the code of conduct statement. The previous one was clear, concise and to the point, it promoted inclusivity and made it clear that feedback positive or negative was to be...

    Ex-Tesla Worker Makes it Official and Blows the Whistle to SEC

    There has been a lot of short activity on Tesla lately, both in actual shorts but also from PR/news cycles. I wonder if there might be more behind this, if Tripp was working on behalf of a large shorting attempt it would make Musks recent actions with regards to quarterly results presentation...

    Three YouTube Stars Fall to Their Deaths at Waterfall in Canada

    Probably the most idiotic thing I have seen in a while. It's very different scenarios though, in one case you have a controlled sport with checks and balances and in the other case you have a bunch of youths posing for dangerous stunt click baits. Its very similar to the many deaths in national...

    Apple Passes Over Intel in Search for 5G Chips for the iPhone

    Makes one see the Apple/Qualcomm lawsuit in a new light. Assuming they knew (most likely) that they would have an issue with 5G modems they might have used the lawsuit to pressure Qualcomm to reduce the licensing cost. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a statement in a few months that the...

    Masterpiece, and the soundtrack is "Oh My God" worthy. Although if you don't care for that kind of music then its a bummer.

    Wolfenstein Youngblood Announced

    That goes both ways, although I would assume the female playerbase is in the minority in this case. I am surprised they didnt go with a 50/50 split though.

    The Elder Scrolls VI and Starfield Teased

    Both Starfield and ES is confirmed for next gen consoles, that puts it atleast 2 years out imo. Also ES is after Starfield (which most likely will be a launch title) so I would guestimate the real timeframe is 3 years at a minimum and probably close to 4.

    Elon Musk is Building a Cyborg Dragon

    Dragon probably refers to the SpaceX capsule or the BFR spaceship component in some manner, maybe it's something like a transformer design.

    Tesla Autopilot Nearly Recreates Fatal Crash

    It is of course detected by the sensors, the problem is that the neural net can't classify it properly and this is most likely an issue with the learning set and will improve. Given the large number of sensory combinations issues like this are bound to happen but hopefully most of these can be...

    SpaceX Falcon Heavy Launch Happening Now

    PR decision I would imagine, the booster reclaim was always a bonus and if they let the crash air that would be all anyone would focus on. Now they got a bunch of hours focus on the actual launch result and the space roadster. I wouldn't be surprised of some footage of the crash will be...

    Apple Will Replace Batteries Regardless of Condition for $29

    Give it to apple to turn a negative pr spin to a profitable "service", any decent technician can replace that kind of battery in less than 5 minutes. Two screws, pop the lid, swap the battery and close.

    Even Mark Hamill Hates the 'New' Luke Skywalker

    Slightly different though, in the first case you have a Jedi order going into hiding pursued by a galactic empire (and as A New Hope tells you still known/active within the rebellion) whereas here Luke has a runaway apprentice who have murdered and destroyed his pupils.

    Even Mark Hamill Hates the 'New' Luke Skywalker

    There are a few "political correctness" scenes in the movie which is one of the reasons dislike it. The milk scene is a reflection on us as a society exploiting cows and is trying to make the act of drinking milk obscene and its totally out of place in the movie. The porg eating is somewhat...

    Lockheed Martin is Going to Build Laser Weapons for U.S. Fighter Jets

    Not sure how viable these lasers will be, since they operate on a superheating principle for disabling their targets a reflective surface paired with high heat isolation material/solutions would/should render these basically pointless. Especially for things like missiles where you in most cases...

    Amazon Developing The Lord of the Rings Multi Season Television Show

    IMO GoT worked for the larger masses due to it not focusing too much on the magical aspect of fantasy and is more about the intrigue. Similarly is true for LotR to a large extent, true Gandalf is a wizard but its not like the magical powers are critical and in no part is it a solution to all...

    Amazon Developing The Lord of the Rings Multi Season Television Show

    I wouldn't be surprised if they choose a story that ties in what is exposed in the movies, one idea is to focus on the rise and fall of Numenor. This ties well into the movies with regards to the forging of the ring and the history of Gondor and it also brings in Sauron in a more bodily form. It...

    Broadcom Bids $103 Billion for Qualcomm, Open to Going Hostile

    103B, current stock count is 1.47B shares @70 bucks a pop which comes out at ~103B I also saw the 130B circulating but have no idea where that comes from (propably a typo). However I think this is an initial bid and I believe it'll be increased to between 75 and 80B in a hostile bid but that...

    Qualcomm Profits Fall 40% in Q3: $866M Net Income

    Yeah that has historically been a problematic area but its not Qualcomm who launches this product its Microsoft.
