I'm using a 4790k personally

Whenever I have to help a potential cx build a pc and they say they are going to render or something though

I point them to ryzens

gaming? intel

Yah intel can clock a lot better.. 4.2-4.3ghz on the newer ryzens vs intel hitting 5ghz lol Thats a pretty big gap.

yeah, and getting large core count on intel is expensive

but tbh

unless you're like 1440 144hz gaming

high end ryzen with a 1080ti

will cover most else

I don't play much cs:go an bf1.. been waiting for star citizen to be released for like a decade lol

my crappy 970 gtx can handle 1440p on both those titles.. i'll probably upgrade to something decent when star citizen is finally released in like 2026 😄

If crypto keeps dropping i'll probably pick up a used 1080 ti when they're being unloaded by miners though if its cheap

miners shouldn't be using 1080ti's

1070ti's are the best price to performance

one of my company's techs is also a miner on the side lol

the jump to 1080 from 70ti is too much for only an 8% gain

ti to ti more so

when the price spiked an everything else was bought out a bunch of people bought all the 1080ti lol I think they were good for ZEC but they went the ASIC route. The ethenlargement pill helped make them mine ethash decent enough though but if the price of eth drops much more they'll probably end up getting dumped on ebay.

This is scary

The thing is, I was hearing about another story like this earlier today

(there's news links in the thread as well)

https://datasociety.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/DS_Alternative_Influence.pdf Very interesting study that's trending across the net

That infographic of whos communicating with who on that datasociety pdf.. poor computing forever just hanging out by himself nobody likes him everybody hates him sitting in the garden eating worms.. seriously i like his content

@Ace K Yes, it's given us all a bunch of new videos to watch. Thanks for the reference.

Can't help but think that it's mostly your way to give an F-U to Data & Society

Oh no. I only knew of Tim pool and Jordan Peterson.

I heard of Sargon a bit on here but he never seemed terribly worth watching personalyl.

Actually, add Rubin to that list.

But yeah, this Chris Ray Gun guy makes some good musicals. Thanks again.

Most of the videos people post around here aren't really worth watching. but that's a nice list.

Watch the corbettreport 😛

I don't think that ones on the list

As far as Data & Society, I've been sending them shade longer than you've possibly known they were around in ways that you could never know.

Its a bad news tho

This narrative is potentially very dangerous

Am aware.

Fortunately only far left outlets are running it so far

The far left outlets are where the power is though.

The right centrist outlets are ignoring it so far

They want to use it to attack YouTube into censoring people.

styx did a video on it earlier today

I think there is multiple angles

Its less political and more economical imo

They want to shut down independent big political youtubers

Because they are stealing their audience

I think their narrative was something like 'super chats allow these evil nazis to get money from views' 'somehow thats bad because the content might not be advertiser friendly' 'no super chats for them' (i skimmed it so don't sue me if its not an 100% accurate representation lol)

"their audience" ? I wouldn't switch to them even if there was no other choice

You

But there are other ppl who would

It all goes togather

The legacy media are getting butchered

It's alot of things. The mainstream press wants to kill the independent press for economic and power reasons.

The left wants to regain total control of the narrative again.

They're teaming up to shut up the little people.

The unions do something similar to the people who oppose the leadership.

They don't care about the money.. they care about controlling the narrative.. if they cared about money they wouldn't be driving their ratings into the ground trying to manipulate the population to vote democrat

Oh they do care about money

Its just they made lots of wrong decisions

Tbh the main reason political yourube is a thing is interaction of youtubers with their audience

And each other

Journalists could have easily do it too but were too lazy

I think Tim even tried to tell them this and they didnt listen to him

At the places he worked

Ppl are more active then ever

While the newspapers and television are mostly just passive reception

I can see why ppl hate that in the current year

For me the saddest thing is when joirnalist blocks discussion under his opinion piece

And lots of them still do this

And then are suprised ppl go somewhere else for news

Honestly I think MSM is doomed no matter what. How can you justify paying some pundit 20 million a year when Tim Pool can do a better job than them from his house for probably 30-120k a year ( i have no idea what he makes)

Also did you guys notice that the miss did all that research without ever contacting anyone from those youtubers ?

Their model don't work anymore

I was a big fan of Ben Swann around the 2012 election.. he tried to go solo but he was trying to do it like the MSM wanting like 30k per video he made and quickly found out thats not how the alternative media works. He did manage to get funded by Dash though so hes back at it again.

There is one valid criticism tho

Most of youtube is commentary

Only few ppl like tim do more

Stuff like GamerGate cost them a lot of Obama voters

Heck I was still on the left in 2016 voting for Bernie, but I could see that the loons gaslighting me during gamergate were in control of the narrative in the primary too.

people don't like being messed with

farage is charismatic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUNcOpXfrfc

He is charismatic

But his behaviour after brexit ref was just dumb

Sometimes even hypocritical

sargon does similar shit ^

True

He turns on his nationalistic brain when it comes to brexit

yeah i def see that

Just look at his stance on ni border

He would never say that about any other country imo

wait what do you mean ?

He says he wants "soft border"

Which is fantasy

Unless you do something drastic like what eu wants or theresa may wants

or merkel

Yep

you notice how much attention the EU has been getting lately or is it just me ?

You

Here in gb its brexit news past 2 years now

yeah i heard that shit that shit has been dragging
