^lol! 1st world problems...

Look at it from the bright side, we don't know if those monitors (there's also an ACER one) will launch this year or will get delayed, and even if they launch this year as planned, by next year all/most of the initial problems will be solved and you won't have to go through them.

We'll see. That's why I always say traveling is a waste of money.

Some future insights:

I’d say make a new architecture around it instead.

New CPU: direct access to this memory. Throw out the L2/3 cache, use it’s place to make a lot of registers. More registers make it easier to run multiple processes on the same core and make virtualization easier too. Cache on the other hand is only needed to prefetch from the relatively slow RAM, not needed anymore. Throw out branch-prediction, prefetch and long pipelines and ques, we only needed them to handle NOPs while waiting for memory, but not needed here. Use a simple RISC architecture. Instead make several cores that share the entire memory and hardware memory protection. RISC can do more instructions per clock.

L2, L3, Branch Prediction, Prefetch, Advanced Pipelining will not be replaced. Even if the transfer rates of storage exceed the cache speed.

Cache is on-die. It's big advantage is latency. A CPU is wasting processing cycles waiting for the request to be sent to storage and for that information to arrive at the CPU.

Also. Internally CPU's these days are basically RISC anyway. Intel and AMD will take a Complex instruction and break it down into simple instructions.

Prediction is important as it can help hide the latency even when accessing the L2 cache.

Maybe keep a bit of cache, depends how you design it.

But when you have faster storage and can make it all RAM, then you could try breaking walls and ideas from your classic computer.

CYRUS THE GREAT AND PERSIA ARE COMING TO CIVILIZATION 6
http://www.pcgamer.com/cyris-the-great-and-persia-are-coming-to-civilization-6/
It seems a little odd to me that the Persians weren't in Civilization 6 right from the start, but better late than never, and today 2K announced that the Achaemenid (Persian) Empire, with Cyrus the Great at its head, will be added to the game in an upcoming Civilization and Scenario pack.

>>And this is why I won't buy Civ VI until they launch a complete edition of sorts. Oh! And the other civilization added are the Macedonians, but I guess they're saving that bit for another piece of news, most likely for tomorrow.

http://www.pcgamer.com/overwatchs-new-hero-orisa-is-now-live/
Overwatch's 24th hero, the quadripedal Omnic tank Orisa, is now live for all players. Intended to be a low-mobility, high-protection 'anchor tank' that can function as the center of a team's defenses, Orisa has a large Reinhardt-style shield that she can throw on the ground in front of her or at range, as well as a defensive buff that reduces incoming damage and prevents her from being crowd controlled.

>>And over here you'll find its several skins.

Causal Bit Games' Chris Obritsch and his young daughter Madelyn are developing Battle Princess Madelyn, a Ghouls N Ghosts-styled retro platformer that was born from Madelyn's love of watching her father repeatedly defeat the sidescroller's first Shielder boss. It's been successfully crowdfunded and, at the time of writing, has racked up just shy of CA$120,000 with 24 days to go—having asked for just half of that total from the off.

CALL OF DUTY: MODERN WARFARE REMASTERED IS GETTING FOUR CLASSIC MAPS SOON
http://www.pcgamer.com/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-remastered-is-getting-four-classic-maps-soon/
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered, aka the game you can only play if you buy some other game, is getting a big expansion soon. Well, it's getting a big expansion right now if you happen to be playing on a PS4, but since you're probably playing it on PC (if at all) then you'll have to settle for "soon".

Ether One, you may recall, was indie outfit White Paper Games' debut venture in 2014—an interesting Myst-like puzzler that explored themes of dementia. The Manchester-based studio's next game boasts a similarly intriguing premise: The Occupation is a "politically driven, first-person, narrative game set in 1980’s North-West England in which you play as a whistleblowing journalist."

"Don't worry, Quake Champions is still Quake," Jessica Famularo told us after going hands-on at PAX East. The thought of Quake retaining its roots two decades on while embracing modern considerations such as esports is exciting—particularly when some of its new arenas echo yesteryear.

It was a bit sneaky. They included it in the official patch page so it was known since the announcement of Dropshot.

Dude, it's an idle game that runs 24/7. The actual time I spend with the game every day is about 2 minutes. I might stop soon though.
