And subjectively, the latency on most google services (except for the search page) is pretty bad. Maybe Firefox Nightly isn't modern enough?

Mine does too, that is until I run sudo ZenStates-Linux/zenstates.py --c6-disable (I've got 29 days of uptime right now and the last reboot was due to a system upgrade)

I think by AMD's new lineup they're referring to Ryzen 3000 series, which isn't out yet. If the rumors are true, the top models come with 12 to 16 cores, higher IPC and higher clocks than the current Zens, pushing 5GHz boost

We'd be out of many jobs if people started breaking windows. Or maybe that time & money could be spent on something else, it's not like we're running out of things to do.

That assumes software developers think the problem is best solved by developing new software - which quite frequently isn't the case! Oh how I wish we could stop reinventing this same stupid wheel badly. And change the "wants&quo

And yet the pirate chose to pirate, so it did not have enough monetary value for them.

I don't contest that changes in the environment change purchasing behavior. However, such wishful thinking has no place in my worldview. Either a sale happened or it did not and it never was. Again, you can't lose something you

> Pretending that it's always acceptable to pirate any movie you want to see is akin to saying that you don't want the movie studios to make movies anymore. It is always acceptable not to watch a movie. Does that mean one does

Does it matter? Nobody loses a penny when you download it. Someone made it because they wanted to make it or got paid to make it. The rest is history.

What frequency limit do you see? Opus is transparent at that rate. Heck it's virtually transparent at 96 kbps, and does a great job at 64 kbps.
