I would not say significantly under spec; in fact, they were shoving higher voltages through their components than they needed to be. Performance appears to be mostly close to the same, although it's tough to say. GN has some videos on it I'll probably look at soon.
Of course, the problems happening are even more than just the amount of electricity being jammed into the components as we can see with low power laptop units having the issues.
The patching of the microcode is less of an issue than the fact that it took like two years to do it, and they will not honor warranties or issue recalls.
This is on the heels where the Ryzen architecture had a REALLY good competitive run with the X3D CPUs, and did so at lower energy costs and cooler thermals than their competition, who were also underperforming at higher price points from the start.
Class action lawsuits need to happen, and I sure as hell would be signing up for it too. Intel's bottom line needs to hurt for this, because rushing products like this every year or two just to stay ahead of their competition (who, IIRC, was the victim of espionage from either Nvidia or Intel to begin with 5-10 years back? Don't remember) is not feasible when you don't have your consumers' backs.
...But is the information accurate?
Poisoning the well in this case would be a "look here, not there" or a reassurance "Nessel has been investigating", and so I would personally not let my knowing that this is happening cloud my judgement on a group of betrayers possibly running interference.
More information and, hopefully action, is required. Nessel is definitely not one of those to do it.
That's why it seems like poisoning the well.
I do not trust Project Veritas. You do not trust traitors. Betrayal is something that is very difficult to find redemption for, and for good reason.
Didn't seem like they used a breathalyzer in that video, but as one of the comments said: it essentially becomes pointless, because he admitted to having some shots inside when he wasn't driving -- and so since they could not test him prior to that, it became moot.
It was a smart call, really.
And then they demand trust in a system where you cannot question it or even monitor it. Genius really.
Shrinkflation at that. 3 cookies to just "chocolate chip cookie"?
Props to McDonald's for trying to make you healthier by making things more expensive than they're worth I guess.
Shit, I can't really argue with that.
There are economical and political problems with just saying "no, I'm not going to pay my debt".
Materials and services were purchased; those materials and services were rendered. Other countries will not take kindly to that, and it could cause some serious tensions.
The countries we purchased those materials and services from did not commit the fraud. Indeed, they could say we were the ones to commit the fraud.
It's just not feasible to say "fuck off" without risking war. We have to resolve the issue intelligently, not emotionally.
Isn't this the guy who claimed another bullet went past Trump, then deleted his post because he was flat out and easily provably wrong?
Yes. So, I have my doubts about anything he jumps on right now.
100% agreed. Ew.
Indeed. When we're young and full of hormones, we don't see the problems with it, we just are excited for it.
That's why when this happens, we have a responsibility to come down harshly on them. Shame and consequences, so they are scared into not doing this to begin with.
Adults are meant to protect children. We keep them from making mistakes. There are effects that may seem paltry to some, but difficult to nail down future relationship/behavioral woes when children are victimized by adults like this.
From my point of view, I don't even think it needs to be said that "I would've done that as a kid" because there is a reason why we have an age of consent and that is because children are too retarded to comprehend the ramifications of it, and that's a good thing. They shouldn't be thinking about that sort of thing at that age. It's just a distraction from building lifelong friendships and getting education and skills that they need.
"Double masks"
What is in the open is they succesfully made a huge advance with the California age of consent being identified as a " 10 year variance " so you can be 20 and roll with 10 year olds legally.
Ew. I am more or less fine with Romeo and Juliet laws within like, two years or whatever (for those who don't know, these laws protect a couple who were together before one aged to 18) because they would have been within dating pool range in school, but that is where the line ends for me.
Having any form of "variance" to age of consent that specifically allows an adult to interact with a child is repulsive on any level.
The distinction exists and flies over the heads of Predditors and the like, as they will -- in my experience on many occasions -- conflate age of consent with ensuring that a couple isn't forcibly shattered because one turns 18, and so I always feel compelled to preempt that argument.
Otherwise, they end up being obtuse and trying to assert an argument that it should be allowed because "what about if one of them turns 18 free".
Tangential rant aside, unacceptable. The people always need to stand against any subversion of a child's innocence being stolen just because they were inducted into the Predditor cult and groomed like Chris Tyson groomed that child.
However, no one should get a blank check to do whatever they want all the time, simply because they claim to be "God's chosen people."
Nor because their ancestors suffered persecution.
I think that's what gets me the most in relation to Jewish folk.
There is this whole sentiment revolving around needing to protect them against everything and everyone, and castrate any criticism as being unacceptable, because their ancestry suffered at the hands of the National Socialist party.
I do not hate Jews and I do not actively blame them despite some who clearly wish I would.
But when you cannot criticize them and they are treated as a protected class when they weren't the ones who went through it, there are legitimate questions that need to be brought.
That is 100% not a bullet.
Being proud of where you came from is fine, though you're apparently not allowed to do so if you're white -- I digress.
The problem is that, as u/queue-anon said, she used her mixed race to play identity politics, one at a time, as convenient.
On the surface, yes.
Let's hope she does good here instead of getting caught up in intimidation, bribery or the fear that so many Trump justices seem to acquire that they could be seen as "too biased" if they don't rule against the people.
So only one 16 year old, the rest adults?
Normally when you see trafficking in events like this, they seem to be younger.
This seems a bit irregular even for California. And because it's California, you can assume it's not a thing where they were some willing prostitutes.
I'd like to see some mug shots. I wonder how many of these were illegals.
so yes it matters that he’s agnostic
Agnosticism isn't the enemy, and it is only one step away from turning to God.
Agnosticism is relating to not being able to prove God exists, so regardless of whether or not there is a belief of God is irrelevant there if they aren't preaching against it.
To act like he’s on any side is retarded, in of itself.
He has been attacking the uniparty at every fucking turn for the last couple years, what more the fuck do you want? You wouldn't allow him to change anyway, so you'd alienate him for your own selfish bullshit. You'd turn an ally into an enemy, as they did. Look at how it's working out for them.
To act like there’s “more eyes” on the issues at hand, when nothing has materialized from anything he’s brought attention to
You acknowledged the posts he's made that are connected to focusing on white hats, but you don't acknowledge how integral the millions of eyes seeing things like the censorship of Google searches against Trump is.
In minutes, one of his posts reaches millions of eyes. We could never, ever hope to reach that with any of our posts.
in fact the SC recently ruled in favor of the government for cooperating with social media to remove content, etc..
Trump appointed justices did that; are you going to turn against Trump? He asserted that they were good choices.
Your comment regarding science is so vague and subjective, idk how it even applied
It applies to statements like this.
But Elon has declared his trans humanist agenda with chips to make people’s brains connect directly with their devices
Where Neuralink will go, no one knows. It's new technology. But by taking those steps, there is potential to improve lives. You don't have to like the "transhumanist agenda", I sure as shit don't, but I won't pretend that the potential applications that could come out of it aren't interesting.
There’s not a single other figure, that has done even half the shit Elon is still doing, that is followed and revered as a white hat or part of the plan
And none of them have even a 20th of the reach that Elon does. So rather than attack him at every single turn, in every single thread, roll with the fucking punches, understand that you're an adult and he's an adult and you may not agree with him on everything but that doesn't make him an enemy outright.
I do not agree with devil/demon idolatry
Wearing a fucking Halloween costume isn't idolatry, because definitively idolatry is WORSHIP.
And so we circle back around to the first statement:
We’re literally in a spiritual war
Zealotry does not change minds. Zealotry pushes people away. When you begin to push your beliefs on others to the extent that you will actively work against bringing people over to our side, and change their minds about God, you are actually doing harm to the people who would come to have faith.
Instead, the smart thing to do is to continue compiling the things that Elon does that you don't like and prepare to bring them out if and when he stops doing good things.
But whatever, you do you. I guess I'll stand by while people like you will attempt to alienate a man who reaches tens of millions of people in the blink of an eye so the uniparty can go back to having full censorship control over us and can form any narrative they want. Because that's where we go if we make an enemy of Elon because we disagree on technologies that likely won't even go anywhere within his lifetime.
Greece makes the most sense for a lot of reasons. Countries wanted the tourism that came with it, but clearly if this is the direction they're going to go with I don't think nearly as many people will be down with it.
could you imagine if Lin Wood wore a demon/Baphomet
This may be hard to understand, but Elon isn't a Christian, and people ran away with that costume and made it something it wasn't. That's a non-starter.
That's like the people who called Dungeons and Dragons demonic and created the situation where so many have turned away from God.
No one "dismisses" things, but you'd have to be retarded to think you have to hammer it in on every single thread about Elon as if you want to alienate him and cause him to throw his lot in with the other side.
The advancement of science is not at odds with God like so many modern day fools try to say, and that any believe it on either side spits in the face of old scientists who had faith and encouraged their peers to have faith too.
You may not agree with some of Elon's philosophies -- that's totally valid -- but to act like he's with the other side when he is getting more eyes on the uniparty than we've reached in years is insanity.
That's almost always a lie, and if it isn't a lie with your current politicians, it may become a lie with the next generation.
Most of those taxes from all sources go to their pet projects or kickbacks from employing overpaid contractors that do as poor of a job as possible to look okay for a couple years, just long enough to be "forgotten", so that they can come back and do it again.
The lazy young people vote too.
Oh sure, they may not cast the vote but someone does in their stead and it's always for D or RINO.
Well, that is a kid that won't back the blue.
If you have concerns about someone walking with a child in the dark, gauge the child first. Strike up conversation, ask questions, watch the child's reaction.
There was no need to go this far, for any reason.
