MS is dropping support for 7th gen intel cpu and presenting users with two options.
Option 1 : Keep using w7 & w8 without the security updates and fixes which means welcome cryptoviruses
Option 2 : join the w10 botnet

nice work MS!
There's a homebrew patch for windows 7 users that eliminates the stupid check and allows to use Ryzen/latest iX cpus on in.
Doesn't excuse Currysoft from shitty business practises anyways but it's not the end of the world for Win7 users.

Comp. Arch Amateur hour w.r.t to design choices.
Dat lack of vision.
>>61455800
It's more like they designed it as a server arch first and a consumer arch second, similar to what AMD did with Zen. The difference is, Ryzen is comparatively inexpensive.
Skylake-X is not a gaming architecture
Skylake-X performing badly in the market its not targeting? Who cares
STOP USING ADBLOCK
SERVER IS NOT FREE
PLEASE
I'm sick of AdBlock.
Fuck. AdBlocking technology was a huge mistake for mankind.
>SERVER IS NOT FREE
I run a self-hosted website. No ads. No money. No problem. It's been up for over a year now with no problems.
Why? Because I wanted a website. It's not turning a profit, and I don't expect it to. In fact, it's costing me money every month. It's well worth it.
If it's not worth it to you to deliver your message to everyone who goes to https://your.name.example.com/ then don't do it.

Yes, if you kept reading, you'd be able to tell from context I meant "no profit."
How do you propose we get women to stop using technology?
Somehow make it require physical labor.

The fact is that it's not worth it to ugprade your computer today.
If you have a 5 year old CPU right now and you upgrade, your single core performance will only increase in real world applications by about 10-20%. If you buy AMD, even less.
You wont even feel this increase, why waste your money on it?
>>61455657
I upgraded because I do work that requires running several virtual machines simultaniously. More cores is godsend for this.
Are you sure I shouldn't upgrade?
>>61455657
Because MEGATASKING and THREADRIPPING > you.

i bought a 4850 and had to replace it 3 times before i got one that lasted several years but i sperg like a fucking retarded and refuse to buy their products ever again because i was unlucky to get a bad batch.
AMD make great cards and they're a good company that doesnt fucking jew you for your money and use shitty means to fuck with the competition like nvidia does.

> Mesh interconnect for core communication
Because each node in a mesh has to act as an endpoint and a router, it has to draw more power to operate.
> Monolithic die
Increased heat density
Reduced clocks with scaled # of cores.
Leading into and out the back of 7900x, it appears there is a 300-400Mhz drop in clock speed per (+2) increase. No mention of what occurs to the mesh interconnect clock speed as they scale cores. Also, there is a non-uninform communication penalty depending on which core is communicate with another. Did intel think they could wire-up and scale complex CPU cores like simplistic CUDA cores? Did they fall for the spatial-computing meme?
I think this about wraps it up.
Look for intel switching to MCM down the road.

The Jews always fuck up.
Banned and genocided in every country on the planet at least once.
Couldn't even build their own country and had to beg Britbongs and a few other superpowers to do it for them, while having a lucky sympathy break due to Nazis.
Couldn't even maintain their gifted country without USA and the Western powers pouring insurmountable amounts of money into it, giving them unfair and free trade deals, and even gifting them technology.
Still ended up the most hated people on the planet despite Lolocaust and now the world voted to give Free Palestine independence because Jews started acting out and roleplaying the Apartheid and Nazis.
How can one people be so incompetent and destructive?
Where do you backup your data? I have about 200GB of photos that I want to make 100% to not lose someday. I have them on a external drive but who knows if and how long they last. So I thought about another way. Dropbox seems good but it costs a lot to upgrade for more space. Any other alternatives?

I don't.

What is the best Firefox alternative that has good ad blocker extension?
I've used Firefox about 10 years now. I've endured all the changes and fuck ups they have made. I've endured all the SJW bullshit they have made. I've thought that it's always better than being part of the botnet.
Now Firefox 57 is just too much... I can't take it anymore. All extensions stop working, new retarded UI and animations (Photon) and more SJW bullshit. And on top of that they started the Google Ads data mining stuff...
But what finally broke my back was this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJG278nX6dM
You can see that their top priority isn't the best browser experience anymore. No, their top priority is making everyone represented (call it diversity or what ever you want...). The browser comes second now.
So what is the best Firefox alternative that has:
- ad blocker
- isn't Internet Explorer 2.0
- is fast and functional
/hosts
best blocker
>Google Ads data mining stuff..
what?
Qupzilla, Sleipnir, Brave, Vivaldi, Ungoogled Chromium, IceCat, SeaMonkey, Otter Browser, Waterfox, Palemoon, Midori and TOR Browser for full tinfoil mode. I named all of these browsers off the top of my head, I'm a bit of a browser fan, dunno why I like playing with new browsers in particular; wonder if anyone else has a browser fetish like me?

Am I wrong for considering a vizio tv for my next one?
It's been almost 10 years since i bought my first lcd.
They're easily almost $1,000 less than the other TV's I've been looking at. 4k 65" and at 240 hz (p series)
Has anyone bought a vizio tv?
Tl; dr no name tv brand
>TV
Giant monitor then
>>61455143
Honestly, the only thin you should look for for "high end"
1) OLED
2)HDR
even HDR is questionable since there's little content for it. but usually OLED comes with HDR anyway
At the very look for least Backlit LED(not top and or bottom lit nor left and or right lit) w/ local dimming.
What are the parts on this board? There is a jack, a pic-microprocessor. Is that a transistor on the left? And what are those two things on the right?
This is a minimal dslr intervalometer i found online in many articles... But the source page is down. And i want to build one like this to make timelapses.
>>61455131
>And what are those two things on the right?
a jumper and a capacitor
>>61455254
come to think of it, the jumper might instead be the leg of another passive component
>>61455270
Like under the board?
I think it might just be a connection to the jack? As the board doesnt seem to have any components under it in the top image
