Funnily enough, in South Dakota of all places, AT&T is actually [i]really[/i] competitive with Verizon, and in many ways beats it. In the middle of town I have no problem pulling 20-40 Mbps down all day and in rural areas its around 10 Mbps but sometimes higher. Better voice quality, I get better coverage, and HSPDA isn't dog shit garbage like Verizon's "3G".
Though I see why others complain, when I travel it gets sketchier. Minnesota has tons of areas with HSPDA only, and Nebraska has an entire black hole with no service at all. Iowa and ND are p okay though. :v:
AT&T certainly had better coverage in Mississippi. It actually usually boils down to who bought the old Bell infrastructure post breakup.

As far as it being good or bad? Here, Northwestern Bell eventually turned into CenturyLink, but a lot of the Bell network was sold to co-ops even before the breakup.
AT&T as it is today didn't even exist locally until 5 years ago, which probably explains why it works so well here, since its basically new. And even then its still only mobile. I didn't see an iPhone in real life until I visited New York City in 2010 due to the AT&T exclusivity agreement.

Get me out of here
AT&T is absolute bollocks in my city but great literally everywhere else in California. In my city specifically T-Mobile is the best.
[QUOTE=Reagy;52747299]Ok RoboChimp I'm genuinely curious why you think this is a bad idea, or are you just dumbing it like you do with basically all my posts in a thread you're in because you don't like me, because if its the latter I recommend stopping.

Good pretty often. Gave them a strong start to grab the market.

For so many years, fake ban have been bannable. But moderators understand that he did not know.
Back on subject, I have found a game that makes graphics card coil whine. The framerate changes the pitch of the whine. It is incredible, I have never seen such a thing before.
Usually affected cards only whine with games that have unlocked FPS.
[QUOTE=SEKCobra;52748241]Usually affected cards only whine with games that have unlocked FPS.[/QUOTE]
I have many games with unlocked framerate, even some own I make. No create coil whine at all. And I have never heard coild while change pitch like so. When I have time, I will record

Of course not all games would do it, they need to actually use the affected components, but it's perfectly normal for games to change the pitch depending on load they put on the device, which happens a lot with unlocked framerates. My old 670 had the exact same phenomenon with Overgrowth.
I'm still amazed by the fact that I have to certify, when downloading software, that I'm not going to use it to design a nuclear weapon, or distribute it to North Korea.
The US government is crazy.

The internet is only for serious business
I ordered one of those cheap 80mm aluminium radiators off eBay because I'm designing something, and it needs quite a bit of cooling.
You know, you don't quite grasp how big a difference there is, between a 120mm radiator and an 80mm radiator, until you hold an 80mm radiator in your hand.
On the other hand, if I used two of these, I could put them next to each other, get a "160mm" radiator (120mm is 14400mm2, "160" is 12800mm2). But 4cm off the height would make a big difference on enclosure size.
Meh, I'll worry about it later.
Who's Exited for the 8 Generations i7s :v: coming out soon?
On a another Intel topic, not that I have the money to do this, will a 3 SSD RAID0 plus 2 GPUS really saturate the chipset to CPU link on an Intel X299? If so, that's pretty, fucking Intel :v: . They should at least drop the price on those CPUs so the performance is more comparable to AMD's line up.
[QUOTE=garychencool;52747170]IIRC the Node channel still uses Origin PCs and got a bunch of new ones almost a year ago for Christmas.
[video=youtube;PccGBHOddzE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PccGBHOddzE[/video]
I believe Corridor has some Origin PCs and self built some others. They got some 3 years ago, not sure if they paid for it or if it was given to them for video promotion. They are probably still using them, I still see the cases around in the more recent vlogs. They did get another desktop from Puget Systems, but it's a smaller form factor one, couldn't find which vlog it was.
[video=youtube;kDJgv6ILTAA]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDJgv6ILTAA[/video]
Anyways, Puget seems to have a good marketing campaign targeting content creators on YouTube. It's seemingly working as not every content creator is tech savvy on the computer department.
[video=youtube;LyJv4f8kJIk]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyJv4f8kJIk[/video][/QUOTE]
I suppose it's good that Corridor,Dee and Brandon aren't loyal to one brand then.
Even though I like Origin's cases, there's no way in hell someone else is building one of MY computers.

i once had to download some fpga programming software for one of my classes and i had to fill out my details and accept the itar shit, but for some reason when i'd hit submit the form would say "export validation failed" but there wasn't anything that looked out of place. so my friend looks at it and says "dude maybe it's your name lmao" jokingly so i on the form changed my last name to johnson
and it let me download it.
Thoroughly impressed with the Intel 930. ~60FPS in CSGO with everything maxed and AA disabled @ 1080p.

I've found that CSGO runs very well on damn near anything.

My laptop has i3 4000m and a HD4600 and a 8GB of RAM.
CSGO gets around 30fps on all low, 720p. Maybe because it gets a CPU bottleneck due to me only testing with bots bit still, I expected more.
I was gonna see how well it worked under software rendering with Ryzen but $15 is too much for a joke.
