Interesting news on the competition front.

This is a very important point in time for the openness of the internet. The FCC votes on Thursday the 14th of December 2017. They are voting to undo "Net Neutrality". We must raise awareness and inform as many peoples as we can, in order to help prevent this and to keep the internet open.
Net neutrality affects everyone who uses the Internet. This protest is for all of us. Here’s a big list of creative ways to “Break the Internet” for the 48 hours before the FCC vote. Go wild and Tweet every 10 minutes until the FCC vote, change your job on LinkedIn to “Defending Net Neutrality” or say you’re “Married to the Open Internet” on Facebook. Do whatever you can to get *everyone’s* attention and drive phone calls to Congress. Source: battleforthenet.com AIDA64 v5.92 is released

AMD Releases Statement On The Radeon RX 480 Power Consumption
AMD has released a brief statement regarding the Radeon RX 480's power consumption. More info to come Tuesday, July 5th.
As you know, we continuously tune our GPUs in order to maximize their performance within their given power envelopes and the speed of the memory interface, which in this case is an unprecedented 8Gbps for GDDR5. Recently, we identified select scenarios where the tuning of some RX 480 boards was not optimal. Fortunately, we can adjust the GPU's tuning via software in order to resolve this issue. We are already testing a driver that implements a fix, and we will provide an update to the community on our progress on Tuesday (July 5, 2016). Steam and Lionsgate deal to stream movies
Another bid to take over the Internet's, Steam signs deal with Lionsgate to stream movies.

Valve Corporation Makes Big Pricing Change to Game Bundles
Valve Corporation is implementing a big change concerning game bundles. Under the new policy, you will only pay for the games that you do not already own. For now, however, only certain bundles will be affected.
There's a big shake-up coming to how Steam's bundle purchases work, giving them dynamic pricing. In official documentation given to developers and received by PCGN, Valve have outlined a redesign of Steam bundles so that they automatically give buyers that already own some of the products within a discount. This scales based on the number of products, and is already available on some bundles in the wild, though remains officially unannounced. This also has the knock-on effect of making sure that bundles are properly discounted when their components are on timed sales.

This news doesn't surprise me too much.
Microsoft announced Friday that Windows 10 will be the only version of Windows supported on future CPUs and chipsets. The company will continue to support Windows 7 and 8.1 on older hardware for the next several years, as promised by its support policy.

For those who use FreeSync and might be having display flickering, then this might also e good news for you. Never mind the other fixes in this release.
The new drivers fix a number of stutter and crash-related bugs in Fallout 4, Just Cause 3, Dirt Rally, and Call of Duty: Black Ops 3. The Frame Rate Target Control feature now works a little more consistently, and FreeSync flickering with some displays has been fixed, too. Last but not least, AMD sorted out a few problems with the drivers' installation process. Source: The Tech Report Prime95 can cause Intel Skylake CPUs to freeze
I suppose I would be more concerned that this doesn't just affect Prime 95... though I wonder if this would explain the BSOD I experienced running at stock.
