Which one of these shitpiles will you be buying /g/
Volta.
I'll stick to my 980, maybe get a second one to SLI on the cheap. Glad I didn't listen to /g/
Pascal because AMD chose a HOUSEFIRES process from Samshit & fabbed at GloFo, an ever shittier fab than Samshit

>One observation I made today which was particularly concerning, was that both with the Snapdragon 820 LG G5 as well as the Exynos 8890 Galaxy S7 got considerably warm after running some heavy workloads. The fact that the Galaxy S7 touts having a heat-pipe thermal dissipation system is a quite worrying characteristic of the phone and should in no way be seen as...

Got my first trackball the other day and I'm liking it so far. My only complaint is how sensitive the marble is relative to movement. When I move the marble quickly, it moves at a good speed but when I try to make small accurate movements, it's too sensitive.
I've tried messing with stuff in the Logitech driver and in some third party marble program called "Marble Mouse Scroll Wheel" with no luck. What do?
Overall I'm enjoying the trackball very much. I'm still getting used to it though.

The most comfy of workstations.

Looks pretty comfy anon. How are you liking the kensington? Also, how's the numpad working out on the left side of the keyboard?
>>53735072
'mouse acceleration' actually works realllllllly well with trackballs unlike mice. you can set your sens low enough so that small movements are ultra precise yet a quick little flick moves you across the entire screen.

if they released " Microsoft Linux ", that would be pretty dope
They're objectively better for desktop usage, and the extra pixels would hardly hurt for movies and games.
Why did they die? Even dell seem to have just about given up on them. All I want is a reasonably price 2560x1600 monitor.

>The primary reason for this move was considered to be production efficiency[3][7] - since display panels for TVs use the 16:9 aspect ratio, it became more efficient for display manufacturers to produce computer display panels in the same aspect ratio as well.[8] A 2008 report by DisplaySearch also cited a number of other reasons, including the ability for PC and monitor manufacturers to expand their product ranges by offering products with wider screens and higher resolutions, helping consumers...

16:9 as a media format took hold in movies and TV
16:9 yields more panels than 16:10 (I know it sounds trivial, even at 1920x1080/1200, but at the volume OEMs are manufacturing, any little bit helps).

XP is dead. Long live XP.
But, if I move my old laptop to a VM, it tells me to activate XP. Microsoft aren't answering that phone no mo'.

Wait for iPhone 7S in 2017.
All the rumors are that the iPhone 7 this year is going yo look exactly like the 6S, and then 2017's iPhone will be all-nee including iOSX with more customization of the software.
You dogs, just ordered pic related,
Are you guys jelly?

nah senpai, I ain't jelly. Get an array of 8x8TB drives in RAIDZ2, then I'd be jelly
>>53742070
Well I have another 1TB Hard Drive and a 1 TB external drive. I should be okay with that.
And if not, it's a good thing that memory is cheap.

How do you guys back up your computers efficiently?
It would be nice if I can use my hard drive at one point or another.

Sounds like Windows isn't smart enough to do things that Linux has had for a long-ass time like copy-on-write. It's probably storing a separate copy of each file for each backup, even if the file didn't change that day, or even if only 1MB of a 1GB file changed.
I have a ~100GB folder that I pack up to a 500GB btrfs RAID1 array. Three months of weekly snapshots and it's used... 110GB, because the data doesn't actually change a lot. ZFS can do the same trick at much larger scales (hundreds...

Are wallets /g/-related?
I'm looking for a new, slim leather wallet, although Bellroy wallets are pretty expensive. I do like the aesthetic though. What other choices would I have?

They ship worldwide.
Go a shop the sells them.
Buy one that looks nice, has the features you want and that you're willing to pay for.
Done.
Worked for me.

No. Fuck off and kill yourself as soon as possible.
I spilled a shot of jameson on my Razer Death stalker and now the 3 key sticks down sometimes? how do i fix this.I was thinking get a Q - tip with rubbing alcohol, remove the key and just clean it lightly. None of the other keys are sticking

What's the best low power AMD card with the open source linux drivers?
I'm looking for a card to host in a vga passthrough set up, and as AMD has the best open source drivers I thought I'd use one of theirs.
I've got an old Xeon X5687 in an X58 motherboard and an r9 290
Go with something from 2014 or so, it should work well with the drivers but not be too old to do whatever you need done. Avoid anything brand new. For example, when I bought my card, the r7 260x, I couldn't do anything 3D related on it for over a year and now it works very well.
>>53741844
>best foss drivers
what..
You need something with GCN1.2 for full AMDGPU support
Sure radeon is better than AMDGPU at the moment, but it's being deprecated and replaced by AMDGPU.
I got an R9 380X because I wanted the most performance without going to a Fury.
An R9 285 would be the cheapest you can get though a 380 would have lower power consumption at idle. (less than 5W idle)
If you want something just for the host, get the cheapest thing you can find...
