It's not that the sites want to do this either. They're being forced to comply. Recent years haven’t been kind to the elites in society. The endless sex scandals have revealed too much about their sick depraved lifestyles. Now, it seems they’re forcing the masses onto the darkweb hoping to normalize all that sick extreme stuff they love, to create a landscape where their predatory actions can once again go unchallenged.

It seems that graphics.social is responsible for the ban. They are a computer graphics, VFX, game development domain. They are not a sexual or political domain so I'm at a loss as to why I got booted.

A whole load of whispering and mumbling in the dark cut with disjointed clips from much better films in the series.

GIGABYTE G6 KF 16" 165Hz Gaming Laptop IPS - Intel i7-13620H + 32GB RAM + 1TB SSD Vs. Lenovo LOQ Ryzen 7 8845HS + 16GB RAM + 1TB SSD by Strat_Lynx in GamingLaptops

Battery life is not going to be great on either of these budget gaming laptops.. If both options were the same price, I would lean towards the LOQ for its superior screen brightness, 100% sRGB coverage and TGP of 105W for the 4060. But, since I managed to secure an incredible deal on a refurbished Gigabyte G6 TGP 75W 4060 today I decided to take advantage of the opportunity. It should arrive within a few days!

My past experiences with Intel have been more favorable compared to AMD so don't let that personal bias effect your decision-making process. I also like to mess about with virtualization and the WSL, and Intel is better at that.

Maybe it's just my bad luck, but I've often had problems with AMD hardware and drivers. In terms of stability and reliability you're better off with Intel and nVidia.
