The video probably wasn't being hardware decoded, because of a driver / VLC issue with Raven ridge.
If the reviewer had done some more work, like testing power consumption on other tasks like web browsing, or gaming he would have realised this.

Maybe they should just design US destroyers with a huge rubber skirt, like bumper cars. Then cargo ships would just harmless bounce off them.

Anandtech has a good write up of the technical details: https://www.anandtech.com/show...
The power management is considerably improved from desktop Ryzen. They are using linear LDO regulators to manage power for each component independently.

There's a pretty good write-up at Anantech: https://www.anandtech.com/show...
Basically, they say the vulnerability is worse for some configurations more than others. If you use Android, or WPA-TKIP, or 802.11ad the attacker can do more damage. Normally it's only evesdropping of one side of the communication.

So, build a telescope on sacred ground and risk disturbing the dormant, but mighty Hawaii god of fire and destruction. Right on the tip of a volcano, where his powers are the greatest. I'm pretty sure I've seen a movie that had a plot like this and I tell you, it didn't turn out well for the scientists.

No they're not, but I take it you've never developed for iOS

That's exactly what I felt when I was doing iOS development. All my code was littered with yellow "depreciated" warnings. Trying to keep stuff "current" was an exercise in futility, because they would just depreciate a load of other stuff with the next iOS release.

Last time I tried Firefox with CTR it was so slow, it was unusable. I think it must have been the CTR plugin slowing down, because this was on a fresh profile.

I now use Palemoon and Chrome for the websites where Palemoon doesn't work.

Maybe they should have use Epyc, which has much better RAS features than Broadwell: http://www.amd.com/system/file...

You are 100% correct.
Unfortunately, going by the amount of projects affected by the bug, it seems that most programmers are not "real programmers"

9-5 is only a 7 hour day, unless you work non stop without any lunch break.

The launch should go fine, just like in the video - so long as there's no roof snipers about.

Not a problem. You only need to run faster than they guy next to you.

I don't think they have increased production of GPUs by too much, which is why we see inflated prices - production hasn't met demand. This happened during the last coin bubble was well. AMD made hardly anymore money than normal, because they weren't able to crank up production.

except that it's still profitable to mine Ethereum. GPU prices haven't come down yet
