Anon, convince me Signal isn't a CIA honeypot.

>In 2010, Signal creator keeps getting harassed by Feds.

>Signal creator later makes apps to help Arab Spring. Arab Spring was orchestrated by CIA.


ADDITIONALLY: If you use Signal for your phone, install he desktop app. It is able to decrypt all your phone messages. Therefore, desktop app has access top private encryption key from phone.

The private key must have traversed Signal's server to reach desktop app. Therefore, Signal's servers can access your private keys and decrypt your messages, to be read by Moxie's CIA handlers, at any time.

If you want help:
>Assemble parts list

CPUs:
No i5 unless discounted
>G4560 - poverty-tier builds
>R3 1200 - Budget builds (<$500)
>R3 1300x - Good stop-gap between the 1500x and the 1200, only get a 1400 if you absolutely need multithreading
>R5 1500x - Good but up to 1600 if you can
>R5 1600 - Best value for higher fps gaming / mixed usage; 1600x if you want higher stock clocks
>R7/Used Xeon/Threadripper - Compute/Multitask/VM/mixed use; Not for just gaming

GPUs:
Coin miners have driven price up and stock down, waiting to buy a GPU might be wiser
>Integrated CPU Graphics - Desktop stuff and very light games
>GTX 1050(Ti) - Lower end budget cards, drop settings on newer games, RX560 beaten by both
>RX570 - 1080p@60~hz maxed, running most maxed older games at 100~Hz
>RX580 and GTX1060 6GB - 1080p@80hz maxed, 1440p@60hz at lower settings; RX580 better in newer games
>GTX 1070 - 1080p@130hz /1440p@60hz at high
>GTX 1080 - 1080p@144hz / 1440p@60hz maxed, 4k@60hz in a few games; Probably the highest end card you need for 1080p/1440p
>GTX 1080Ti - 1440p@144hz and 4k@60hz maxed/high in many games
>Good fucking luck even getting a VEGA right now

RAM:
>Check your Mobo QVL before buying any RAM
>Ryzen CPUs benefits a lot from high speed RAM

General:
ALWAYS LOOK AT PRODUCT REVIEWS!
Always consider an SSD. Try buying a large SSD for what you'd pay for your SSD+HDD combined, and add a HDD later
NVMe SSDs aren't for a faster OS boot, they're for productivity/scratch disk/VMs. NVMe and M.2 are not the same thing, M.2 is a form factor

Why does Tucows have a problem with registering domains for sites with "hateful opinions" which is legal in the US but does not have a problem registering the domains of sites whose organizations actively promote and advocate for men having sex with young boys aka pedophila and pederasty which is not legal in the US?

Any other examples of tech companies having hypocritical stances as soon as you do any digging into their customer base?

A while ago there was a person trying to have a picture recreated using only circles. It was a little fun to help the guy, but the approach was fundamentally slow

Here is a complete rework of it in C++ with a GUI and live pre-view. I estimate it at 10000x faster

Machine Check Exception causing BSOD within seconds of signing into windows, every single time. Here's my memtest results. I'm going on three weeks here and I still don't know what the fuck is wrong with my computer. How to I run checks on my other hardware components? How can I find out if this is caused by a software issue?

Network card isn't being recognized.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
