i dont get this privacy concern. You all accept this when you accept the EULA for all these programs. Don't agree and then complain about the consequences. And even then, who cares if they watch or know what your looking at....if your not looking at shady shit it doesn't matter. I don't mind if someone knows i watch heaps of PC content, travel logs and check out mountainbike parts obsessively. What are you all so ashamed of that you are so scared of people finding? Market research is a thing whether you like it or not.
Moral of the point, if your so ashamed of what your looking at, what you click on and what people see, maybe you should look at your interests before crying to everyone.

Intel then :
- Keep refreshing SkyLake like a humble
- Using dirty tactics to make AMD
Bankrupt
- Price high like a sky & don't care about
consumers
- 4 cores 8 thread is the best they said
- same architecture from broadwell
- Benchmark is everything
Intel now
- I9 9980XE 1899, I9 10980XE 999
- 6x More soldiers
- Crying 14nm+++++++++++++++++
- DOA on mobile device 4000 series
- OC 5,3 GHZ only 1 minute boost
- I9 10900K 10 cores 20 threads
- dead XEON
- Will not release CPU HEDT in 11th gen
(rumor)
- nuclear reactor consumption
- DoN't FoCus On BeNcHmArK, jUsT

I got a Razer HID driver update through Windows 10 Update (I have a Razer mouse), I put it off for a while, I don't shutdown my computer often because I host a sever for my family. After the update and restart, ALL mice I plugged into my computer would not be recognized or even powered (no lights). Luckily I know how to keyboard around Windows; I uninstalled all mouse HID drivers then looked for new Windows 10 updates and found one had been released for this week. After update and restart everything was fine. I don't know if it was uninstalling the drivers, the weekly Windows system update, or just restarting again that fixed it.

15:20 People have always lauded Nvidia's driver-team, but they haven't managed to merge Vulkan 1.2 to the main driver yet, even though it was released (and supposedly passing conformance tests) _six months ago_. Now Win 2020.05 is out and the latest driver is on the older driver model. It's like they've forgot how to merge stuff over there. I'll give them a pass on the last since it's so fresh, but not getting the existing vulkan updates from the developer branch into the WHQL driver after six months of passing vulkan conformance is just baffling.

I think I know why Intel has been so hesitant to launch their 10nm line up on desktop. There is no way that they can make their new process node run at the 5.3 GHz class that their 14nm silicon currently can. And since they've been stagnant on IPC improvements for such a long time, that won't be acceptable to their fans and customers. Power consumption reduction alone won't be enough so they are just biding their time, optimizing their 10nm to hit higher clocks so they won't be embarrassed when they release it.

Knowing a user's IP address when they access your webpage or a service is inevitable, unless they route traffic through a VPN or some other obscuring protocol, such as Tor. The other information they receive is not actually needed to perform communications, however, and while the IP address is usually logged and tracked for security purposes (i.e. to combat DDoS attacks) it can easily be used to deduce a user just by knowing what accounts tend to be logged into Google via that IP address.

Why do I have this feeling that the American department of defense response is a good mix of no one knows and no one cares and if it's not broke dont fix it regarding the IPv6 case? From my line of work, I do believe that this the case for a lot of enterprises. I would imagine that this is fine for a lot of enterprises - even as large as 200K+, but for the American department of defense itself, given their history of laying the foundation for the internet, it is a very strange case indeed.

As tech people, most of us probably already understood that incognito mode pretty much only affects the local computer - denying access to cookies, not saving history, not sending data from outside the browser session, etc. It surprises me that there are people who would be surprised about this, but then I don't pay attention to Google's advertising. Now, I wonder, what might happen to all the VPNs that blatantly and severely overblow what their services do for privacy?

For the first time in my life I broke my golden rule and pre-ordered an SF750. I've always avoided it because in my head, if a product isn't on a shelf yet, then anything between extracting the metal from the earth until it reaches that shelf can go wrong.
First time I break that rule, and this happens. Serves me right.
My pre-order was delayed by a further 2 weeks though so hopefully mine will arrive and be from a newer batch that I don't have to RMA!

Don't worry, Intel employees still know how important benchmarks are. Unfortunately all the internal measurements in the world are only as helpful as what's actually shown by pr teams upon release (and what is decided to be released because of or despite the data).
Former Intel employee in validation. We spent quite a bit of time on benchmarks. We know what performance is like. Unfortunately engineers don't decide the skus or the marketing around them :(
