Still rocking my Note 9 and I love it. It has everything I want and runs great. I don't mind the very tiny chins. I'd take those over the pinhole cameras. I don't know I just feel like I don't really need anything else? Just sharing my opinion.
Finally the perfect ryzen gaming laptop with good battery life, good screen, good keyboard, good pricing, good everything. Every other ryzen gaming notebooks have atleast 1-2 defects which is a deal breaker. Finally a good work by hp!
Games consoles did this for the same reason, if they use the hbm memory as system memory, they'll probably get a massive performance gain from that alone.
I will say though that modding the bottom panel might not be a great idea. As you said, it's (likely) designed that way to pull air over other components, cooling them in the process. Your CPU/GPU temps might drop slightly, but other components are going to be missing out on that cooling, which could impact its longevity. I modded the bottom panel of my Asus G51 back in the day and ended up covering it back up for this reason.
There's another BIG problem with TVs as well that is the part where the upscaler is not programmed to deal with 240p.
The "TV standard" is that you send 240 lines, 60 times per second, and those lines are either ODD or EVEN, as in you send line 1, 3, 5, 7 then on the next frame its line 2,4,6,8...
But old consoles don't do that, they send just the same field over and over, while keeping the other field black, and this works fine on CRTs as you get twice as bright lines etc…
So ideally, the televisions should detect when this is being done and either keep one of the fields as black lines or double the lines, but instead they try to force the picture to be 480i and you get awful artifacts like the combing
This is really good considering ryzen model has 4 physical cores compared to 6 in Intel and shows how much IPC improvement Ryzen 2 has brought over Zen+ architecture compared to Intel.
Kde using a bit more cpu then xfce. But with plasma version 5.17 the ram usage is almost in the range of xfce so the kde plasma team have done some Good work. För computer with less cup poker xfce is a good option to go.
I’d completely agree for 1st & 2nd place choice if they had G-Sync support. Without it, anyone with an Nvidia GPU can’t take it seriously, therefore cant justify 1st or 2nd place decision.
I have not seen a complete third party backup solution. Some do mailboxes, some Sharepoint, some OneDrive, etc.. But if you look at the fine print, some things are left out. Like public folders. The real question is “Why does Microsoft refuse to deal with something that is so central to proper data management?”
Most of the GTK themes are created mainly for Gnome, that's why some of the GTK themes does not look as good as it should be. There are very few themes designed specifically to Cinnamon, some of them are quite dated.
You've found a good amount of them that are acceptable and not quite old. Some themes doesn't cover the whole system, just parts of it. The same is happens to LXQt, LXDE, Xfce and MATE. Complete and new themes are missing for Cinnamon, or there are very few of them available when compared to Gnome or KDE Plasma.
Sometimes you find the controls, icons and mouse pointer themes, but the theme lacks desktop and window borders. Finding a theme that applies to all and covers everything is rare, except by original Cinnamon's themes (Cinnamon Spices) you can download on Add/Remove section of the Themes settings.
I'll wait for the RTX 3080 version of the laptop, gonna be priced at the same (maybe even lesser) amount

It finally happened. Perfect timing as a new generation of GPUs is right around the corner too. Asus' monitor game is on point
By the time the world has upgraded to quantum internet, the DMV will finally be getting DSL

That phone feature is amazing wth. I can see that being noted down by a lot of other companies already
Another proof that there's a lot more to consider when purchasing SSD's than their sequential read & write speeds
fyi: no company is truly private in China, there are specific laws that guarantee the CCP access to whatever they please from any company

Well. I will say just go for 6 core intel or wait for Ryzen. Simply due to price.

Those extra pins don't seem to be helping Intel any, that's for sure.

Costomization on linux is just amazing you can make the system look what you like very easily and safely and a lower chance to destroy your system
I read somewhere in the manjaro forums that at this point kde has been worked on so much that its now faster than xfce. Is this true?
That motherboard is by far the best I've seen, I dig the black and gold
Interesting lineup on the Intel side
Choose the console with the exclusive games and features you want. Performance won’t be that different.
"We've went from 32nm to half that (14nm) in ten years"... yeah and if we also count AMD, half that again ;)
It seems 2070 is good enough when it come to considering the price point.
Honestly, for that money, I'd keep my laptop for on the go and for that money I'd just build a desktop for when I'm home...
Fair enough
Basically yes
Games ~ i5 Encoding/video ~ i7
Toslink is still widely used in the HIFi community. It as very good for solving grounding issues.
Finally, my PC has the power to save lives

Awesome advice as usual!
