That’s one way to ensure you get shot by the police.

The CCP police will at least torture you to confirm party loyalty before killing you rather than summarily executing you on the spot.

Well that makes me not want to buy gigabyte products ever again…

henfredemars ,

They do make some good products, but they also make tacticool RGB gamer motherboards that are quite showy. My latest build is all black, no lights.

my gigabyte products make me not want to buy gigabyte products ever again…

Kecessa ,

Never had any issues with mine but I know they’re not known to be the best

stom ,

Used em for nearly 20 years but their newer stuff has some reduced build quality in favour of aesthetics. The model I bought had particularly bad coil whine (as did it’s RMA replacement) so I shifted from them.

kusivittula ,

my new gigabyte mobo also has an annoyingly loud constant buzzing sound, extremely slow post and comically buggy bios. a few friends had to rma their gb mobos because DOA, loose ram slots, instability etc… also my gpu is gigabyte 3060ti and it has a lot of problems too, nvidia is mostly to blame but i think it’s gigabytes fault that the fans minimum speed is very loud, around 1200 rpm. the fans are normally off but the temps climb to around 60c even when idle, then fans go WROOOOOOM for a few mins and then turn off. my new case has air intake at the bottom, 2x 140 mm fans blowing right into the gpu but still the damn gpu fans sometimes turn on even when just watching a video. and it’s not because of dust, the heatsink is perfectly clean.

Madison420 ,

Why?

Most online gaming is fps or RPG. Why would a magazine be offensive if a sword wasn’t.

apocalypticat ,
@apocalypticat@lemmy.world avatar

I’m going to guess because of the gun deaths epidemic.

Madison420 ,

I’m gunna bet over time a sharp bladed instrument has taken orders of magnitude more lives.

So again, is a sword melee worship and how would that be more or less offensive.

HauntedCupcake ,

Year 1066 problems just aren’t as relevant in today’s political and social climate. William of Orange totally would have had a sick sword themed gaming PC though

Madison420 ,

No one is getting stabbed and there aren’t more stabbing deaths worldwide is what you’re saying.

Simulation6 ,

Probably not. They were in use for a much longer time, but population sizes and army sizes were much smaller during those times. Also, they are less deadly.

Madison420 ,

They’re still in use and are a larger cause of accidental death as well.

Kecessa ,

I’m against encouraging the gun worship epidemic that kills tens of thousands a year.

Madison420 ,

How is that gun worship?

Kecessa ,

Did you look at the picture or you’re just trolling?

Madison420 ,

Are you?

It’s a motherboard aimed at higher end fps clan play, it’s a relevant object on a relevant object.

So I say again, rpg themed system with a sword on it. Offensive?

Cars and drugs on a GTA themed system. Offensive?

I think you’re just picking something benign to be upset about in the most safe time in human history. Statistically you were more likely to be murdered in 1950 before the gun worship culture was as prevalent then today. Teach, compassion, life skills and critical thinking, fear mongering over inanimates isn’t particularly useful.

Kecessa ,

Gun violence isn’t only about murders.

There’s no sword violence epidemic.

Go tell people in third world countries or first Nations that guns have made their life safer than any other time in history and see what they have to say about that.

And yeah, a drug themed motherboard would be fucking offensive, what an idiotic question!

Madison420 ,

Notice that I didn’t say it was.

Historically there is and statistically gun violence is lower now than ever before hence no epidemic. It’s just what you see most on the news because that’s how they hold your attention and make their money.

They’d agree.

How? You don’t have to buy it. I’m sure you own some shit other people find offensive, what of it?

Kecessa ,

pewresearch.org/…/what-the-data-says-about-gun-de…

While 2021 saw the highest total number of gun deaths in the U.S., this statistic does not take into account the nation’s growing population. On a per capita basis, there were 14.6 gun deaths per 100,000 people in 2021 – the highest rate since the early 1990s, but still well below the peak of 16.3 gun deaths per 100,000 people in 1974.

Highest since the early 1990s, doesn’t sound like it’s lower than ever before to me, right?

Madison420 ,

A downward trend is still downward, you’re making mountains of molehills that are actively being graded back down to level.

rickyrigatoni ,

Have you also boycotted every game and movie that features guns or is motherboard decorations where you draw the line?

Sir_Simon_Spamalot ,

Yeah, I’m pretty sure that’s a massive loss to them 🙄

Enzy ,

Pretty cool though

kamen ,

The colour scheme kind of screams “DFI” to me.

Shard , to memes in The likes the upvotes

Hey I’d settle for 10 million likes on YouTube… In views alone thats worth like $100k in ad revenue. But given that likes are typically only 10% of viewership, that means a video liked by 10 million probably has 100 million views. Which is about $1 million in ad revenue for just that video, assuming a low end payout of $0.01 per view.

Carrot ,

That’s not a low end payout per view. Typically it’s a fraction of a cent (USD) per view. Typically ads pay out per 1000 views, and the average of that is $0.38. To make the math easier, we’ll call it $0.50 per 1000 views, or $0.0005 per view. On top of this, YouTube takes their 45% cut, which means you’re looking at more like $0.00025 per view. Of course, that’s the average, and for a larger channel with the right audience you’re more likely to see a CPM (cost per mille, mille being 1000 in French) of a few dollars. Let’s call it $5.00, which would come to a CPM of $0.005, or roughly $0.0025 after YouTube takes their cut. That’s still $25,000 for 10 million views, which is a ton of money, but I think people have a tendency to overinflate how much money comes from Youtube ads.

Oh yep that’s me lmao, though I have sometimes used the stuff I never planned on using. Data archiving is important!

nimpnin , to nostupidquestions in Yesterday in Kroger (a supermarket for you non-Americans) I saw a bunch of cans of potato salad. Why would someone buy canned potato salad?

I just went sailing for a few days. On the small sailboat, we don’t have a fridge onboard. Stuff like this can be stored in room temperature, so I can definitely see the appeal for it.

You may laugh now, but wait till the apocalypse and see how much you miss potato salad.

You make a convincing case.

YoFrodo ,

I had a massive power outage that lasted a week. Canned anything is better than nothing

ShepherdPie ,

Why would you buy canned nothing in the first place? You know it’s going to be disappointing before you even open it.

Sometimes you just need a can

Sometimes you’re just not very hungry.

cannedtuna OP ,

Hey we had flat screens back then, they just took up the whole floor space and it took 2 people to move those projection TVs

vaionko ,

Laptops also had LCDs. Just don’t move your mouse too fast or the screen can’t keep up and it’ll disappear

areyouevenreal ,

You’re thinking of passive matrix displays. Those were the cheaper option but active matrix screens did exist.

vaionko ,

They did, but you had to pay a pretty penny to have one of those

ChaoticNeutralCzech ,

Maybe even split-flap displays, or printed advertisements

You can actually change this in your settings. You will absolutely be able to find something of your taste. Usually your phone generates a few combinations for you to choose from based on your wallpaper. I do agree that this particular combination in this screenshot is ugly however.
