Fidel Castro Dead at 90
Castro is a response to the US invading and propping up a dictator, Batista. It doesn't get much more imperialist than that. So yeah, there's that.

My sense is that those all in one enclosed coolers aren't all that good. Water offers the best cooling performance but possibly at the cost of headaces you don't need. I'd go for beefy air cooling personally. They make more noise than many air coolers too by virtue of smaller fast reving fans being more effective for a radiator.

What can you expect with dishonoured 2. Do I have to go dig my 1080 p monitor out of storage ?

Denuvo protects the DRM routines so they cant be circumvented. 'Anti tamper' sure, whatever. Same difference really. It's there to make the DRM work and prevent cracks.

Denuvo is real time encryption algorithms. Something that prevents you from running a copy. How is that not DRM. Isn't it effectlvely the same as what an USB key dongle does. Constant verification.- The Funny Things Thread

- Laptop suggestions
Most of the EGPUu adaptors I've seen are very bulky. They need their own PSU after all. Probably not something you can just lug around. And there are DYI versions without a PSU which are just the connectors, they don't enclose the card. Probably not a long term solution, one wrong tug at the wires and you break everything. It really can't take up much more space than the GPU itself and still call itself portable. I think EGPUs are mostly meant to sit at home enabling you to plug your laptop into a bigger screen, the EGPU and the charging station.- Laptop suggestions
Yeah I'm starting to realise it would come to twice that at least. However, with an external GPU and options, i dunno how good they are haven't used one, for compiling with GPUs. I mean that would be the point of an external GPU, you get a middle of the road laptop and spend the money on an upgradable GPU package and just lug it around with you whenever you need it.- Laptop suggestions
Neighbourhood of 1100 Euros, bear in mind that I don't actually have much of an idea of what laptops cost. (screw you Donald Trump for strengthing the dollar)- Laptop suggestions
I need it for Compiling. 3dsmax. Unreal Engine. Photoshop and the like. I cant afford (or don't want) to pay for a top of the line machine mostly because of the sense of getting so little for my money once I enter the laptop scene. With no form factor and little in the way of interchangeability producers for the high end market can get away with nearly anything. So I guess an 'expandable' is the keyword here. External GPU, maybe one of those wacom digitizer plates if a digitizer screen is too expensive. You can't run all that on battery though and at some point it all adds up and you might as well get a small form factor PC. What do I realistically have room for in my bag ?. I guess one 'thing' other than the laptop.- The 'Sidian Tyranny thread
I don't see an issue here. That are intelligent species and they can call themselves how they want. As The WItcher author Mr. Sapkowski once said we cannot shone the use of modern terms and language in fantasy because it would lead to utter nonsense. After all if the beastmen cannot call themselve Alphas and Betas how can we have a Tyrant in a world without Greece? Or Kings without Franks and so on. It's a bit like two talking dogs discussing behavioral conditioning and dog training. It's too on the nose.- The 'Sidian Tyranny thread

They are still pricey at 1 tb nomatter what you chose. I can tell the difference using my samsung pro in photoshop but only in specific instances when I am using near all my ram. So is it worth it to load a game level a few seconds faster or getting a few miliseconds more of general windows performance. probably not. A lot of people are still advocating an SSD HDD combo.- Solid State Drive
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-ssds,3891.html Something like this ? I have the 512 gb Samsung 960 Pro which I free up for installations, scratch disk and so on. Win 10 is installed on an older non nand m.2. If you just want the performance boost from m.2 nand you could easily make do with less and combine with whatever old HDD you have lying around. I mean it's quite a lot for storage. On the other hand you can stick your M.2 in your laptop, which is more versatile after all.- Movies You've Seen Recently Thread
I keep thinking of that really ****ty one with morgan feeman and some black goo that gave her superpowers. Odds are they are going to screw it up. This could be the new resident evil series. I mean, it could be that bad, and they will keep making them because people will go see Scarlet like they did Mila, no matter what.- New Mod in the Sandbox: Amentep!
