The Pinkerton's got a surprise coming.

"Intel"

Well this is extremely unnerving and expected. I mean jesus shit.

Edit: I met a Russian expat in SE Asia, I don't know how correct what he says is, but he's in IT like me and runs his own org, and he says that Russia is ridiculously surveilled with cameras with advanced facial recognition that will easily identify you in spite of disguises like masks or sunglasses or basically anything you try, he says they have absolute control over who and where people are at any given time, and that's where the US is heading full speed.

Edit2: Also, everyone check out Benn Jordan, who's hacking this various shit,

I think it can be repaired but it would require an actual human being as a leader. I dont know if you have that over there in politics.

You have plenty in politics. Special interests (mainly but not exclusively the rich) have seen to it that the American electorate would never make any of them president. Billionaires don't buy news and media outlets because they love honest journalism.

Yeah, it hurts knowing we have in our own ranks those who support this admin.

Isn't the secret service part of Trump's admin? 🤔

Gross! This is why their products are so expensive! So they can spend it on child rapists.

not sure what beef you have with GN, but they've seemed pretty rock-solid reliable to me for years now. Just good, detailed benchmarking and high-quality journalism. Unlike many tech channels and blogs, they actually cite their sources thoroughly.

And for the record, the Kraken Z7 I bought 6 years ago and mounted vertically is still running quite strong, despite gamers nexus all but telling me I was an asshole for mounting it that way because it was going to die within 2 years and I’ll have only myself to blame.

Quick google is pulling up no parts called "Kraken Z7" so not exactly sure what you're talking about. I think you're referring to this AIO mounting video they did 5 years ago? Generally speaking, computer parts are subject to a binning process, which means not all parts are created equal. Just because your AIO has lasted 6 years with a suboptimal orientation doesn't mean that every Kraken Z7 will last 6 years in that orientation. In that video, Steve uses a lot of qualifying language. In the chapter testing vertical orientation, he even specifically says "this one is more about noise than performance". They also say that you could mount vertically with the tubes towards the bottom of the radiator, and that would solve most of the issues. They supplied tons of testing and evidence proving that their recommended orientations would work best. I'm not sure how you heard "this could shorten the life of your AIO" and took that as a personal attack, but sure. Take it out on GN i guess.
