Honest question: is the "AMD is good" meme just going way over my head, or does the company buy shills to shit talk nVidia?
Driver errors for countless number of users, zero acknowledgement of said issues, TWO released drivers in total in the year 2015. the list goes on.
How is this shit company still in business? I fell for the 390 meme, and now I'm stuck with a $400 paperweight.
>>53019829
nice shilling there
>>53019829
did your 390 die?
also what applications have you seen driver issues in?
>>53019845
Browsing, games, Adobe CS, watching YouTube, watching videos on MPC
RMA'd the card and had same issues on both, tried Windows 8.1, went back and forth with support for weeks, had two of my smarter friends look at it.
The problem is that every forum has hundreds of people asking what's wrong, and no one having any solutions. It's just bad driver support, it's insane.
Best KDE distro? It's been a while since I've last used it (KDE 3), is it still a bloated mess?

Hey /g/, I bought an RPi2 and managed to setup a "cloud" server on it with an external hard drive.
Here is a public share, you can upload and download whatever you want, I've uploaded some fonts and a wallpaper, will upload more stuff tomorrow
You have ~160GB.

This thought is killing me.
Is the universe programmed to shutdown once we discover it's digital?
No and no.
>>53018632
Why would the universe care if we discovered its digital roots?
no, why would it (or the programmer) care?
Vulkan is DOA.
>30% slower than DX11
>not even comparable to DX12
>>53018588
Who cares? It's called Vulkan.
>>53018588
It's 20% faster than the leading graphics library for games, what more do you want?
it is already beating open gl few hours into release
I switched from the Moto X to the iPhone 6S just over a month ago.
Shave off your neckbeards and ask me anything about the switch and the change from Android 5 to iOS 9.3.
>>53018105
Did you switch from being straight to being gay?
How does shit taste?
>>53018132
Lets put it this way
I went from plugging in anything into my phone to plugging only certified accessories into it
>>53018150
It's nothing worse than the shit Google serves up
What does the release of Vulkan mean for Linux gaming? Could this be the beginning of the revolution?
>>53017791
Yes
>>53017791
you still need the devs to code their apps to work on the vulkan engine
won't happen
It means the glory days of winshit is over
Let's say someone asked me to provide Wi-Fi across the entirety of a hospital, what would be the cheapest way to do this?
Could I just install a fuckton of routers and bridge them together, as long as the hospitals bandwidth can cover it? Or do I have to cascade them, passing wires everywhere?
>>53016803
>Could I just install a fuckton of routers and bridge them together, as long as the hospitals bandwidth can cover it?
That would be shitty, afaik each bridged/repeated wifi node halfs the speed or something like that
>Or do I have to cascade them, passing wires everywhere?
Yes. And don't use consumer grade access point.
>>53016803
APs should be connected through ethernet to your switches. Switches should be connected through ethernet with your "edge" router, which provides the broadband access.
so like:
as many APs as you need, for example Unifi UAP-AC Lite
as many unmanaged switches as you need, for example some Trendnet TEG-S82g
one router, for example Unifi EdgeRouter Lite
>>53017009
So for example I could install 1 switch per floor, and then cascade each router to the switch of its floor? Do I connect them in serial or parallel? Like Switch - Router - Router - Router
or
Switch - Router

How do you manage your passwords, /g/?
In my mind. I use dice words and they're easy to remember.
>another proprietary bullshit shilling thread
you aren't tricking anyone OP, with your choice of pic to use. as bad as the discord shills

What will computer science be like hundred years from now?
Predictions:
>someone will prove that P != NP
>quantum computing will remain academically interesting for decades but will prove too difficult to find more than a few niche commercial applications
>security will still be a bloody disaster
Look at what CS looked like 50 years ago
Essentially the same
>>53014228
We'll still use C
The year of Linux desktop is still yet to come
Windows 50 will require 2 petabytes of ram to boot
X86 will still be the most widely used architecture
What does /g/ think i should do with all these working 18650 batteries?

Why do normies hate encryption /g/?
Because they have to change from what they're used to.
And also because the jews tell them encryption is bad.
>>53009775
Because they have nothing to hide.
They clearly don't care, yet some autist "friends" can't shut the fuck up about it.
Know your audience.
Whatever happened to H.265? Is it still too resource heavy to convert entire libraries? Chinese cartoons are usually up to date with this stuff, but not even they are pushing it out.
>>53008612
Takes too long to encode so far.
5x time for 10% less size is not worth it.
>>53008655
That's a darn shame.
In this case, having more cores is definitely useful. How does something like a 5960x fare? I'd love to see comparisons.
My FX-8350 slows down a LOTTTTTTTTTT when using H265. I figured out really quick that it just wasn't worth it for H265 and for the long encoding time the image wasn't that much better.
Good luck /g/
>>53008539
really curious why this thread is so dead
