  • The Phenom 2?!

    I barely remember it, but yeah, it was a beast.

    But my 1700x went hard for five years. The only reason I tacked the extra 5 on was x3d changes things up.

    Now, since I’ve made that comment AMD has solved the Zen 5 latency issues but cutting it by more than half. That’s what was holding it back. So when the Zen 5 x3d comes out, it’s going to be nuts.

    But…

    It’s going to take a while for those changes to become industry standard. It might be a year before Zen 5 x3d, I’m not sure if they’ve even announced when. So games won’t take full advantage of them right away.

    It takes like a 4070 super to CPU bound a 7800x3d, and fine tune some settings and it’ll balance out

    We’re not going to have a new screen resolution jump, and that combo can max out 4k 120fps on pretty much anything thanks to frame generation without even touching upscaling.

    There’s just not a lot to improve until we see a major jump like VR finally taking off.









  • Obviously, I do t know anything that’s not in the article…

    But…

    We’re looking at drafted soldiers, and officers that were likely career military before…

    There’s a reason why America stopped doing that even if the kids today don’t know where “fraggin” comes from.

    In Vietnam, it wasn’t just because they hated their Officer, it was also if their last one got killed legitimately and the new guy was obviously going to get you and your buddies killed. In that environment, it doesn’t matter if your officer is trying to get you killed or is incompetent.

    And especially today with all the media and propaganda, it’s hard to say this one was some kind of spy or intentionally causing Russian causalities.

    But its just as likely he’s an old school “a soldier is a soldier, stop playing video games” type of guy.

    To the troops that can look like intentional sabotage. When troops start thinking their officers will get them killed…

    I can’t think of a nation off the top of my head that won a war like that.

    The closest would be when the Nazis invaded Russia and any Russians that ran got shot by the Russians behind them.

    But that wasn’t their officers. That was the officers and troops behind them that would be doing the same thing in days or even hours.

    If Russian troops start thinking the best way to stay alive is kill their officers, we’re gonna start seeing a lot of dead officers, especially with Russia’s reliance on criminals and mercenaries these days.





  • We couldn’t talk about Biden ignoring facts and repeating foreign propaganda when he was the candidate because trump…

    He ain’t the fucking candidate anymore, but Kamala and the party holding him accountable for this shit and pushing for him to get out now if he’s really demented enough to still believe Israel, would really help nonvoters see the difference.

    Show people who aren’t planning on voting that at least one option holds themselves accountable.

    In a statement, Joe Biden cited evidence provided in the IDF’s initial inquiry, saying the “preliminary investigation has indicated that it was the result of a tragic error resulting from an unnecessary escalation”. The US president also told reporters that Eygi was killed probably as the result of a bullet ricochet, and “apparently it was an accident”.

    But a Washington Post report said that protests had subsided before Israeli forces opened fire, indicating that there was no immediate threat to the soldiers and little justification to target Eygi or any other protesters with live fire.

    According to the investigation, Eygi was “shot more than a half-hour after the height of confrontations in Beita, and some 20 minutes after protesters had moved down the main road – more than 200 yards (183 metres) away from Israeli forces”.

    The potential target, a Palestinian teenager who was wounded by Israeli fire, was standing about 18 metres away from Eygi, witnesses told the Post.

    The investigation was based on accounts from 13 witnesses and more than 50 videos and photos provided by the International Solidarity Movement, as well as Faz3a, another Palestinian advocacy group.
