Brianna Wu / John Flynt - DEAGLE NATION STILL LIVES

[Quasar]

Also expanding on the "expandability". Wu has ordered 4 ram sticks at 4gb each. Not sure on the motherboards ram limit, but thats all the slots used up. Why not get 2x8gb ram sticks and leave the rest free for expandability?

he did order 2 8gb sticks so he at least did one tiny part of it right.

That mobo supports up to 32gb of RAM. Now, here's the thing. If you are making a gaming rig, you're actually a bit better going with more sticks, as you will get an overall faster memory access rate. For example, if you are going for a total of 16gb, you'd be slightly better off with the 4x4gb than 2x8gb. So if Wu switched over to 2 larger sticks instead, she actually did that tiny part wrong.

That mobo also has pretty wildly divergent reviews. About 2/3 are praising it, but the rest are saying it failed after a couple of months.

Next: why get a 750w sub-standard PSU? With the setup wu has, you can get a cheap corsair PSU around 500w thay will last longer and is quiter than that psu.

Not just any microATX but a minitower case. According to the specs here the case accommodates "a dual expansion slot VGA up to 350mm in length." According to the amazon page for her GPU, her video card is 15.9 inches in length, or around 400mm.

As for the video card, yes the 10XX's have recently come out, and they look pretty awesome, but the 980ti is a solid performing card (and the one I have, as well). It is pretty power hungry, requiring a mimimum of a 600w PSU. I'd have probably gone with the 750, but definitely would have gone with a different manufacturer. Also, the amazon page is likely wrong. My card is from a different manufacturer, but is nowhere near 15" long, and the manufacturer website lists the length of the card at 287mm, or about 11.3".

There are still a lot of bad choices being made by Wu in this build, beginning with the micro-ATX form factor, and continuing with choosing a case that doesn't have any external drive bays.

Hmm, I almost feel as if I was defending Wu for a second there. Blech...

Yeah I was curious about the c: thing myself and was writing another post when I saw yours. Just fyi that link Wu provided wasn't his actual order, just a template he used, and he did order 2 8gb sticks so he at least did one tiny part of it right.

Edit : One last tweet before I go to bed. Behold the knowledge of "one of the leading women in tech"

"Will I have to install a bios"
Godzilla of tech feminisim and software engineer doesn't know that BIOS is essentially firmware. smh fam.

 

[The Nameless One]

Wu is now begging a white person to mansplain something that he could easily read on his own anywhere else on the Internet. I never thought I would see the day.

<start pedantry>

While not entirely an incorrect use of the term, it's a clumsy term to use. A more appropriate way to end that tweet would be "This should fix that", since obviate means the removal of a need for something, in this case, the empty space, which makes using the word obviate slightly clumsy because Wu is saying he wanted to fill the empty space.

<end pedantry>

<pedantry = on>

The problem is that obviate requires an object. There is none in Flynt/Wu's sentence, which literally says, "It will eliminate the need for." The need for what?

<pedantry = off>

Agreed the ram performs much better spread over each ram slot, but you then sacrifice expandability.

Wu would do fine with 2x8gb ram across 2 slots for what he wants it. Then when he wants to upgrade, get another 2x8gb ram sticks from the same manufacturer with the same frequency without getting rid of old ram sticks.

 

[galact0r]

That PC will be full of dust with tar dripping off the case fans in next to no time. Wu will kill it faster than he kills dogs.

 

[AnimuGinger]

After reviewing the mobo, it seems that it supports 2-way sli. But why the hell would you 2 way sli in a case that small when the graphics card gets that hot?

Can't 2-way SLI when you're using different GPUs.

 

[Accel_Rider]

Unless he decided to ditch the 980 and bought two 1070, which I can totally see him do.

 

[That's A Rapp]

This is going to be an amazing train-wreck.

Uhm John is the Godzilla of tech feminism as well as a prominant iOS and Mac developer.

Wu is going to buy a GPU that the case can't fit. Do you really think that the 980 will get replaced?

 

[Peace and Harmony]

Better yet, just read this thread.

As Quasar has mentioned in this thread, the Amazon page gives the wrong measurements. The 980 should fit in Wu's case, my mistake. I guess that was the box dimensions?

"I'm so finished with white men's entitlement lately that I'm not really sad about a 2yo being eaten by a gator bc his daddy ignored signs" - This is what Wu will go to bat to defend.

What kind of monster would support that point of view? Wu is truly human garbage.

 

[Accel_Rider]

If I were to be so finished with an issue, I would stop mentioning it. Of course, that's not the way of the Wu

 

[Rou]

In a few days, we're gonna see Wu go full on Macfag.

Is Flynt/Wu really starting one of her Twitter slapfights with Wired magazine?

That doesn't seem very smart.

EDIT TO ADD:

Flynt/Wu's new pal seems to be getting a lot of publicity. Maybe John should go all-in on this incident:

Feminist Doesn’t Feel Bad About Toddler Alligator Death Because Father Was ‘White’

I strongly urge Flynt/Wu to dedicate all of his considerable resources to supporting this poor "social justice warrior" with 12,000+ followers who has been forced to give up the fight and to cancel her Twitter account. It's simply not fair that actions have consequences.

 

[ActualKiwi]

Inspired by a post in the Nora thread, I ran Wu's tweets through a poetry generator. Glorious.

Good the more exposure these ridiculous fools receive the better.

He's actually protecting some asshole's tweet that he's happy that a fucking 2-year-old got viciously mauled by an alligator because the kid was white.
He's also trying to fucking twist this into "WIMMENZ ARE OPPRESSSHHED IN TECHHHH!!!11" Fuck off, John.

If Flynt/Wu really was adopted, this sack of shit must be his long-lost sister:
