at $400 extra is it worth it to go with the 1080ti strix as oppose to the 1080 strix?

Why is AMD so shit at tuning cards?

I was able to undervolt my card to 1050mV (12.5%) and overclock to 1630Mhz (5%) and now it's drawing less than 270W which isn't super low, but also not that bad either. It's also not throttling at all anymore.

>/g/-tard's giving other /g/-tards shit for using proprietary software
>"muh freedom"
>"windows users should be burned alive"
>"game developers are retarded because they make their games closed-source"
>/g/-tards don't realise that game developers need money too and if they released the source code no-one would buy the game because you could just compile it yourself, resulting in being homeless
>praises a fat-ass who goes on autistic fits about free software and proprietary software and shit

I agree that the free-software and open-source movement's are essential, and they are important, but jesus christ Is there some other place that doesn't have autistic fits like /g/?

So I've been talking to my dad who's been working pretty much all his life in IT, starting out with sys-admin work then moving on to Info sec and finally auditing and less technical broader compliance work. He used to work in Wall St. for companies like Merrill lynch/Bear sterns back in 90's early millennium. It sounded like totally different world when literally if you could do ctrl-alt-del and knew bone basics of NT 4.0/server 2000 you could basically get a job. I know finding work is still hard in this slow growth shitty economy but when I heard my dad was recently offered a job paying an hourly wage of $30 doing PCI compliance work I was aghast that they could even find someone willing to work for such a pathetic rate let alone someone with 30+ years of experience in the industry.

My feelings are this,
1. They can actually find purple squirrels with xyz hands-on 7 years of experience with share point, data-loss prevention CISSPI/CISSA and everything else in between super neckbeard type especially when it's application/software engineering related.
2.These job postings especially when asking for experience requirements for products that have not been released for the time they are asking for, and these listings are just placeholders so these firms can pretend they can't find qualified workers so they can....(next line)
3.Hiring h1b Pajeets and Valds because they can pay them significantly less and also hold them by the balls immigration status wise.
last
For myself I'm really considering dropping out of college (or get an assoc.) and starting/focusing on a business completely unrelated to IT ( I already own/run an aquarium/aquaculture side gig) or even go into a trade. That or i'm going to do what Snowden did and walk up to the HR people at one of the big 4 and prove his worth.
So for those who make this their living what are you thoughts/experiences. Honestly everything that I see is trending to a smaller and smaller game of musical chairs.

So now that Tor is officially working on a way to stop "racism" and "hate speech" on their platform, what anonymization software should we use that actually respects our freedoms?
