I have had 0 issues with it except some Audio stuttering due to DPS Latency issues.
I'm getting a replacement (Model Up actually, Dell did a 12% off offer) so we'll see how it is. I look forward to UHD Touch & Fingerprint Reader.

Interesting.
I have a 1700X/16GB/SSD build and a Dell XPS 15 9560, both of which are very fast, but the Ryzen just flies!

It's Amazing. Battlefield 1 on Ultra/Headphones/3440x1440 at 60fps is Incredibly Immersive.

Personally, I play at 3440x1440. I want 0 bottlenecks and more power than I need, so a 1080Ti is perfect for me. Especially as in the UK I can get it for ~£30 more than I paid for the 1080.

I simply don't understand how some people people (Such as you) are having so many issues. I'm not denying you have, but I've upgraded upwards of 10 PCs with hardware all the Way from Summer 2016 to Early 2008/2007, and except on the truly geriatric ex-XP hardware, I've had barely any issues. One Acer Laptop has a crashy sound driver, but apart from that...

I think he means the 000000 that the USAF set the password to for launching the LGM-30 Minuteman ICBM. For expediency, apparently.

They already are communicating, on huge services like Twitter, that are constantly monitored. ISIS & JaN Surrogate accounts, as well as Assad Regime Loyalists (Which for some, count as Terrorists) freely use online services under the radar.
The time to stop encryption is gone. TOR & Signal have seen to that.

I don't know.
I imagine that MITM on a large scale is par for the course for GCHQ.

That's pretty clear. It does depend of what level/technology is used in the Encryption, but broadly, against nation state actors with full virtual and physical hardware access, you are to put it bluntly, stuffed.

Copy of a Comment Elsewhere:
I don't have anything to hide- but a malicious attacker could easily cause me to.
Step One: Maliciously cause the target to click on a link or open a url (Phishing, Exploit, RFE, XSS etc)
Step Two: With JS, one can easy introduce HTTP connections to any number of websites, such as maybe the Talibans official website (They have one!), Google Searches for (to think of a few) "Gaziantep Places to Stay", "Turkey Flights", "Opposition to the Kuffar at home", "Dabiq Magazine", "how to join the Khalifah" etc
This could easily be done in a realisic appearing manner, especially to ISP/GCHQ filters and alerts.
Step Three: If any of this tallies with any physical activity (Let's say the target wanted to go Clay Pigeon Shooting, or Visited a Gun Club because he has in interest in .22 target shooting), then they have a case.
Sure, it's defendable, and this is a really simplistic example. But it's basically ruined the target's life.
Remember, it's probably not the "Government" doing this, as this info will be leaked.

I would urge everyone who can to sign the petition against it.
This, in my mind is a problem, not because of the obvious costs (ISPs storing _literally all_ metadata for a year), and the insidous privacy concerns, but how bad Govts are at keeping information secure. Below are 3 recent and well known examples of Government Mass Data leaks- this information will be compromised at some point, for profit or espionage.
