Any form of threatening, harassing, or violence / physical harm towards anyone will result in a ban
We have posted this before, but this needs to be reiterated.
We understand that many of you are emotionally driven to discuss your feelings on recent events, most notably the repeal of Net Neutrality - however inciting violence towards others is never ok. It is upsetting that we even have to post this.
Do we enjoy banning people for these types of offences? No... Many of us feel as if the system has failed and want some form of repercussion. But threats of violence and harassment are not the answer here.
And to be clear - here are some examples of what will get you banned:
I hope this PoS dies in a car fire
I want to punch him in the face til his teeth fall out
And if you are trying to be slick by using this form
I never condone violence but...
I would never say he should die but...
Im not one to wish death upon but...
Let's keep the threads civil.
If you violate this rule, you will be banned for 30 days, no exceptions

Whenever people ask if HDR and wide color gamut are worth it, I'm going to point them to last night's Game of Thrones episode.
The episode was so dark that banding and a lack of shadows detail and dynamic range made it nearly impossible to see what was going on. Of course, even with HDR in a dark room, it would still be difficult to see all of the action, but that seemed to be the intent of the showrunners (probably to increase the sense of dread for the episode).
P.S. HBO, please release the rest of the seasons in UHD or (preferably) stream in 4K HDR.

You can read all about it at their own website, www.coxgamer.com ; the site usually redirects to https://support.coxelitegamer.com/hc/en-us if it's being offered in your area.

Any form of threatening, harassing, or violence / physical harm towards anyone will result in a ban
We have posted this before, but this needs to be reiterated.
We understand that many of you are emotionally driven to discuss your feelings on recent events, most notably the repeal of Net Neutrality - however inciting violence towards others is never ok. It is upsetting that we even have to post this.
Do we enjoy banning people for these types of offences? No... Many of us feel as if the system has failed and want some form of repercussion. But threats of violence and harassment are not the answer here.
And to be clear - here are some examples of what will get you banned:
I hope this PoS dies in a car fire
I want to punch him in the face til his teeth fall out
And if you are trying to be slick by using this form
I never condone violence but...
I would never say he should die but...
Im not one to wish death upon but...
Let's keep the threads civil.
If you violate this rule, you will be banned for 30 days, no exceptions

Amazon Shareholders Set to Vote on a Proposal to Ban Sales of Facial Recognition Tech to Governments
https://gizmodo.com/amazon-shareholders-set-to-vote-on-a-proposal-to-ban-sa-1834006395
Brian Brackeen, former Chief Executive Officer of facial recognition company Kairos, said, “Any company in this space that willingly hands [facial recognition] software over to a government, be it America or another
nation’s, is willfully endangering people’s lives.”
On my linkedin I posted the following: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6523035079428571136
There are 492,053,396 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Bezos and the insiders only hold 1/4 of the votes around 78 millions votes. The rest of the shares are held by institutions. The list is here: https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/AMZN/holders?p=AMZN

The FTC Makes It Clear It Can’t, Won’t Protect Net Neutrality. When the Ajit Pai-led FCC killed net neutrality, the agency said that the FTC would step in to protect consumers. Now, that seems unlikely.

Any form of threatening, harassing, or violence / physical harm towards anyone will result in a ban
We have posted this before, but this needs to be reiterated.
We understand that many of you are emotionally driven to discuss your feelings on recent events, most notably the repeal of Net Neutrality - however inciting violence towards others is never ok. It is upsetting that we even have to post this.
Do we enjoy banning people for these types of offences? No... Many of us feel as if the system has failed and want some form of repercussion. But threats of violence and harassment are not the answer here.
And to be clear - here are some examples of what will get you banned:
I hope this PoS dies in a car fire
I want to punch him in the face til his teeth fall out
And if you are trying to be slick by using this form
I never condone violence but...
I would never say he should die but...
Im not one to wish death upon but...
Let's keep the threads civil.
If you violate this rule, you will be banned for 30 days, no exceptions
