Last 30 minutes of Prime Day /g/. What did you get? Anyone still picking up some last-minute deals? Those DUDE wipes look pretty good.
>>55545811
what are you talking about. it ends at midnight pst.
Picked up my 3rd firetv. These things are pretty money. Netflix, Amazon video, and kodi all one one box.
Absolutely nothing, same as last year.
The most compelling offer they had was a multipack of Kleenex.
Who /ultrawide/ here?
Wanting to buy a new monitor and I can afford a 29 inch Ultrawide monitor. Is it worth it? I'll have a second 24 inch monitor beside it.
>>55545793
I have a similar monitor. Personally I am really happy with
Thoughts:
Never put windows full screen. Use the snap feature to snap to one half of the screen. Otherwise the windows are just too wide
If you game, you'll need to upgrade your GPU or reduce your settings
A monitor beside it probably won't work because it is so wide. I'd get a VESA mount on an arm for the small monitor and put it above the wide one.
If you need one get it, otherwise don't.
If you use a second monitor, I'd use it vertically or mount it above like >>55545861

>>55545861
I'm upgrading from a 970 to a 980ti as well (getting a new mouse and mousemat included for basically free) and that should power through most, if not all, games out for at least the next year.
As for the second monitor, I use it mostly for my PS4 so having it above might prove annoying in the long run. I'll try out the side-by-side configuration and see if it's fine before buying a mount.

hahaha back to cuckshed, baby wincuck
Boot into gparted or some other live Linux environment and run grub-install on the drive or chmod in and run grub-update. It isn't hard. Dunno how different LiLo is but given you're having a hard time with this, I doubt you're using something other than grub.
Hello anons,
best way to learn app development on iOS and android?
>>55545722
by making an app
>>55545722
Move to the bay area, go to meetups. It's the only way if you're actually serious about making something meaningful.
>>55545722
Install xcode. Write something in swift.
Getting a phone from ebay, what's the /g/entleman's opinion on it?
>>55545542
stop being poor and stupid
>>55545542
Donuts don't make particularly good phones.
>>55545589
I just don't see why I should spend 100 more for it from Google when I can get it from ebay and have a warranty integrated into the price

Just bought a ztr warp elite. Anything i should know about it? My mom wants one if i like it, but it is kinda big and the "swipe" button in the bottom right is kinda annoying.

Hey /g/ building my first computer and I have everything but a monitor, waited until Amazon prime day so I could save a few dollars, what's the best monitor for my money if I have a budget of $150?
There you are my dude, I was just looking on there and as far as I can see they don't have much for MUH PRIME DAY sales sadly. I'm in the market for a good 1440p to go with my 480 but the sales picking look slim, uguu...
if you are not too picky about specific features and just want a fullHD display then check your local craiglist and you can get one for 50-100$
people are upgrading to 4k and whatnot and getting rid of perfectly good monitors for cheap
No such luck on Craigslist, I live in a small area so I mostly just see the same niggers posting their motorola surfboard modem, wireless keyboard, and 750ti every other day.
I am HIGHLY considering pulling the trigger on this lovely screen. Cousin has one and it is incredible, but I'm not sure if it would be the best thing for a gaymenfag such as myself. I'm just gonna be using a Nitro 480 when I get one but I don't want to have to buy another screen for like another 10 years either.

I'm quite new to /g/ because I've only started coming since I was building my new PC from the ground up, and I was looking for advice. I already ordered most of my parts (gtx 1080, i7 6700k, Z170 pro etc) but I still haven't decided on a case.
I've heard that the R4 and R5 are the only acceptible ones, but is that just a meme? I had my eye on the CM HAF X but that's like 6 years old.
Does anyone have any recommendations? My budget is £150 ($200) and I'm looking for a full tower I think. Thanks
>>55545317

Corsiar 750d or 450d

Fractal Design Node 804
NZXT H440
Corsair Carbide Air 540
£150 buys you most high-end mid size cases and quite a few nice non-watercooling optimised full towers, quit being a faggot and pick out a case you think looks good that has the features you want (i.e., cooling, noise performance, ease of cable management, separate ssd mounting areas, etc)
Is overclocking your monitor to 72Hz a meme?
>>55545214
nah
Shit compared to 144hz though
>>55545214
Define meme.
@85hz here. It's not a placebo, I really can't play with 60 anymore.
I'm going for a 144hz BTW.
How does /g/ clean their monitors?
I've always used some rubbing alcohol + a microfiber/linen cloth, but I've recently heard that this can potentially damage some anti-reflexive coatings manufacturers put on in the factory.
Can anyone confirm or deny this? How autistic is /g/ when it comes to cleaning?
>>55545193
Use only water
Rubbing alcohol could ruin the coating, but I know windex will destroy the anti glare coating
>>55545227
Thanks for the heads up
I use isopropyl and a microfiber. Have done for years with my Dells and no noticeable degradation of the anti glare coating
Tiny blog post:
You know that programming is fucking with your head when you see it in your daily life.
Tell me /g/, how has programming changed your life?
>>55545098
it further increased my chances of ending up lonely
at least I have a nice salary from it
>>55545098
I now know how to do things literally no one understands or gives a shit about. It has further isolated me from my redneck peers.
Also, if you just started programming yesterday you can't really say it changed your life.
>>55545098
i sleep less and go out less
Ok, I think we have huge problem. Shouldn't we stop trying to create better technologies? To be more precise stop trying to make better simulations(VR, Games, Some sort of AI tests)? Since we are probably living in a simulation, what would you do as a controller of that simulation. I would do the same thing I do when program I write finishes it's task, I end it. What if the goal of this simulation is to find out when will we be able to "recreate" ourselves. Are we actually killing ourselves?
