WWE may have parted ways with Luis Ignascio Urive Alvirde, the real Sin Cara, on Monday by informing him just a few hours before RAW. We're still waiting on confirmation of his departure.

Hunico will be working as Sin Cara going forward but may not be behind the mask permanently as there's already talk of bringing someone up from NXT to play the character.

WWE chose not to kill off the Sin Cara character completely because his merchandise has done well and there's a feeling that they have built up a character that pays into the colorful personality of WWE. The feeling is that the character didn't fail but the performer who played the character failed

.

 

 

So they basically own "him"?

They own 'Sin Cara' which they invented when the character debuted, yes.

He was Mistico in Mexico. 

They own most of the roster's characters.

 

So if Sin Cara is totally separated from M?stico, he can just back to his previous gimmick.

I wonder who gets likeness rights from the WWE games in this case.

WWE does. They own the character. 

Basically, if they changed the persons name when they came in, they own it.

Remember fake Diesel and Razor Ramon?

This week's final WWE Raw rating was a 2.65, which is down from the 2.93 rating the show took in last week. As we noted earlier, Raw averaged 3.541 million viewers this week, also down from 4.135 million the show took in last week.

 
This rating ties the lowest number of the year, as the 10/7 Raw, following the debut Battleground PPV, finished with a 2.65.

WWE has issued the following statement to ProWrestling.net regarding Sin Cara's status with the company:

 
"The original performer behind the Sin Cara mask remains under contract to WWE.  WWE will continue to invest in the character and retain it as part of WWE programming."

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By Snake Doc · Posted

      After watching the Apple event earlier this week it is quite the contrast. Apple is going back and tweaking the code to make things more efficient in may areas of MacOS. Windows is boosting your electric build to hide their issues.

      It is silly there is no simple way to check whether this profile has been activated. CFRs are normal, but trying to even hide the fact if it's on / off seems silly, especially for something so user-facing. Surely Microsoft is "proud" of their engineering efforts on this one and ought to display it somwhere in the GUI.

      Many Linux distros are not known for excellent battery life, so I'm not sure that is the best example. A more apt example may be Apple, but Apple's CPUs are simply far more efficient than Intel & AMD at single-threaded tasks like these, so "boosting" is not as power-hungry and less heat-inducing. Not to mention Apple will hardly engage P-cores for basic UI tasks; they use a pretty complicated QoS scheme to only activate P-cores for more serious workloads like HTML / JS execution or decompression or application launch. Microsoft is (smartly) doing it for launch, but also for UI tasks, which is the more nonsensical part: why ... do Windows 11's UIs need modern CPUs to boost? It should load so quickly that there's not even time for the CPU to boost.

      I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.

      It depends: heat soak is a thing. Initially on cold boot-up, the heatsinks & heatpipes are at ambient temp. After heatsinks & heatpipes warm up (through normal usage), they don't immediately cool to ambient temp when the load goes away. So their baseline is higher and the trigger point for fans is much less stress. Add a few more CPU spikes → it's too hot to stay at the same fan RPM → fans get triggered to start up up much sooner / get triggered to ramp much more quickly.
