    That is way too hostile for a first contact. It would be much better, at first, to politely ask them to comply with the license. If they ignore you, or refuse, then think about esc…

    Gamer/enthusiast segment expects performance increase, not energy savings. CPU consumption is not even the greatest power hog in gaming PC. Zen 3 brought 20% more performance at mu…

    I observe this as well, however, because Google wants to catch your attention and keep you for as long as possible, it is quite possible that this is also because of the past view …

    Do you really think actual people ask for and want "ultimate productivity machines"? Btw this term reveals a true kool-aid drinker. I always wanted a machine that is reliable, supp…
