do you guys really have difficulties understanding intel and nvidia model numbers

Yes? Quickly, is 2700X better than 9700K? gently caress knows!

I dream of a world where device performance is measured in Universal Work Units or UWUs, so we can have a single metric to compare them against.

this is irrelevant to the argument

The numbering systems change between generations so you can have a higher number with lower performance (say 2060RTX vs 1080Ti) or vice versa. Usually Nvidia stays within their 50 60 70 80 system but sometimes they change that too.

well yeah that's a generation thing, 2080 Ti is more powerful than 1080 Ti. generation leaps on nvidia usually are 1 model relative shift, e.g. 2060 is equal to or better than 1070. still, both for nvidia and intel there seldom are reasons to buy previous generation consumer products

debatably, you may not even be aware of what computer parts are there and what they do. mediamart had a discount and the shop clerk was cool? bought.

that's all ignoring that this purportedly normal person will have some usecase wherein they must be able on the spot to identify the better model and cannot afford to spend 30 seconds on due dilligence googling, and that i was asking about people who regularly post in this thread and not my grandmother who won't be able to tell a difference between a cpu case and a cinderblock

except this is very untrue with the price leap in the latest nvidia generations, and the very minor performance gains of the latest intel generations

but, w/e, most people will not be comparison-shopping specific intel cpu's to start with, i'm a huge nerd and even i don't bother keeping much track

guess why i put "seldom" in there, mr. einstein. intel performance gains over last generation, however, are a reasonably stable, known quantity, and its not the problem of the cpus that average consumer cannot make full use of them

Media Bloodbath posted:

Google used to let you match the unique identifiers with your CRM database and use that for tailored ads and other shenanigans. Since this summer (about the time when they rebranded their DoubleClick Suite to Google Marketing Platform and Google As Manager) you can no longer export this to 3rd party tools - the identifier is no longer directly accessible.

if you use the Google Marketing Platform you can upload your CRM database, place triggers all over your website, ads and create custom and look-alike audiences.

A lot of marketeers are extremely stupid, but if you are a bit creative you can easily harvest a shitload of info of potential and existing customers. If you put some work in you can also narrow it down enough to be able to identify individuals.

Facebook is even easier to game. I'm not up to date, but at least 2 years ago it was easy to circumvent their requirement of minimum size of custom audience > 15 by uploading 14 bogus e-mail addresses and the correct one of the person you want to gently caress with. This allowed you to serve this person (and only this one) with your ads. As it was only one person you could easily buy all ad inventory for a pittance.

yikes lmao

whiny twitter guy couldn't report this issue directly to the developers because he was triggered by some random guy asking for twofish support on their forums in 2007.
