Can't really know if they're honest until we see independent testing. Them saying there's no performance improvements can still be dishonest if it turns out it's -10% slower.

Got to witness Hurricanes Helene & Milton first hand as I live a bit South of Sarasota. Helene was heavy on the water damage and Milton on the wind damage, unless you live near the water. We were lucky and only had a couple of screens rip, but a friend of mine on the water had his pontoon boat blown off his lift and thrown into his house with Helene. His whole house was flooded with around 5 ft. of water. Milton hit him with both the storm surge and more wind damage. Unbelievable amount of damage all over the West coast of Florida and even inland in places like Orlando. Say a little prayer for everyone who suffered during either storm; it really does help. Thanks

Nope, Goodwill still absent, since they continue to botch my RMA.

I can't wait until every gets over their AI infatuation. My company is doing a project to explore it and set aside €25.000 for it which will vanish into the pockets of some slick talker with a power point presentation. My company is too fucking cheap to pay programmers to automate some tasks but surely this AI stuff will magically solve everything.

[bigjakefoot]

Thanks for the shout out to the Tampa Bay area. Definitely could have been worse but lots of recovery to do. Tons of people still without power and gas is available but requires lines to get right now.

I remember finding out waaaay back in the 90's that we don't actually own games, we just have a license to play them.

I don't recall when exactly, but I think either Nintendo or Sony started including that statement in the legalese statement that came with their games back then. That same document that every single kid went "what the heck is this crap? Booooring."

Back then, it was really hard to revoke a license to a game when you owned a physical read-only cartridge containing it. The cart was your physical property, but the data contained inside it was only a licensed copy.

With so many games and consoles going digital now, that is no longer the case. Personally, I think any changes to a game's EULA should also require a mandatory full refund if the licensee refuses the new terms. No more of this "I have altered the terms of the deal" crap.

[mikeyfoofoo]

Joe had some nice visual gags in this one. Edit well done sir. 🤣

[Razear]

Valve: You only own a license to the games you purchase.
GOG: Your games are DRM-free and cannot be taken away from you.

[ironmonkey]

More sincere words have never been spoken. "I might as well be in the middle of a beer"

[ElderGamerX]

This Intel gen being within 5% of the 7800x3d would be a huge win. However, the slides I saw had the u285 slower than the 7950x and the 14900k in many games, and neither of those CPUs are on par with the 7800x3d. I feel like they're still being deceptive, but by claiming to be behind, they're avoiding some scrutiny.

Awesomesauce video Paul and Joe! I appreciate the Tech Briefs today. It gives my ADD a break from tangents. Another great Sunday morning watching PTN.

[edugator]

Thanks for mentioning Hurricane Milton and the help needed down here.

We are a resilient bunch down here and believe it or not we were overall very lucky with this one.

Our governor and local officials are doing a great job in getting things to us and we have thousands of linemen from all over the country helping us get the power back on.

That being said, a lot of people need a lot of help and we very much need anything that anyone can help out with.

[SidneyCritic]

How do you force people to the more expensive 5080, only put 12GB VRAM on the 5070, ie, cashing-in.

[richj]

We need new legislation though. Sure, you have always have purchased a license to use the software. It is the "revocable" section that needs to be made fair to the consumer. Technically, you could purchase it, and then the software company can immediately revoke your license, leaving you no recourse, and with a loss of your money. That cannot ever be tolerated in the marketplace. What needs to happen is that the software company, when revoking your license must fully refund the money you paid for the license, every cent. Otherwise the CEO and every company officer is guilty of fraud and have a minimum of a 10 year prison sentence associated with that fraud.

If buying isn't owning, then pirating isn't stealing.

Modelo Dark. A man of culture. Cheers! 🍺

Really hoping that reviewers including Paul keep the 5800x3D on review charts along with the 7800x3D when posting the results of the Arrow Lake benchmarks. There are still 3 different x3D options available on AM4 for new builds. Curious how they still hold up being older and with DDR4. (also interesting for people still running them to see if a full new build to AM5 is worth it.)

[MoviePhoneGuy]

I really hope Intel has another Core2 moment soon. I'm currently rocking a lot of AMD gear but, I want both of these companies to do well. If Intel fails, nobody wins.

[dominic.h.]

My cassette tapes abundantly explained 25+ years ago in small print on the bottom of the spine that I am a license owner. No surprise there. It didn't say anything about being impermanent though, which is what I take issue with.

An impermanent purchase is not a sale, it's a lease. I'm not willing to click a "buy/purchase" button to "purchase" a license if it's revokable i.e. a lease. A sale implies a permanent transfer of ownership in legal parlance, so the clarification that this is a license you are "buying" (not actually buying but paying for, technically) does nothing to comply with laws about "false advertising".

10:57 25th anniversary already? I remember the disappointment finding Geforce 256 geometry engine computation was slower than contemporary Intel CPUs like yesterday
