Destiny 2’s PC Beta Included A Legal Aim Bot

Good, But Bad: AMD’s Radeon Vega 64 Rumored To Be Amazing For Mining
How in the heck can something be good, but bad at the same time? One not-so-subtle example is when a product is targeted at one audience, but disappears from store shelves due to another. I’m of course talking about currency mining, and the current craze of running as many GPUs at one…..
