In my mind Technology doesn't mean "hey what x should I get so I'm cool with you guys"
Why can't we have a separate board for all these stupid headphone and computer purchase guides.

This has been brought up countless times. For now just filter iPhone/Apple/Mac, Windows, Headphones, and "did I do good". This will magically get rid of about 30% of bullshit right away.

Thanks for advice.
Why is i7 6700k out of stock everywhere and/or $200 more expensive than the MRSP??
idk

Yes you do, tell me faggot.
I need to build my skymeme machine

no one needs anything higher than a non-k i5
Hey /g/
I have the chance to buy an i7 5820k engineering sample for 300,- Euros quit, which is arround 100-150 bucks below the retail price of a new 5820k in my country.
Now I read that these things undergo heavy testing and load and can have pre producation faults. I'm basing my new rig on that CPU, so it would be shitty, if it had any features disabled or doesn't run properly.
Also, no warranty. Not that i would have gotten any for a 5820k for 300 bucks, but I could even get legal problems if Intel catches my having one.
Any thoughts or...

I've never seen one with disabled features but they almost always get the holy hell beat out of them. It's just a gamble if you get one that still has some life left in it.

>you get in trouble for having it and not the person who is selling the damn thing
Intel everyone
Nah not worth it. Haswell chips are really sensitive to the cache voltage and cache voltage over 1.35v will significantly degrade the processor and sometimes even killing it. It might work now but down the line you might encounter random freezes and crashes.
You can Google hwbot max cache voltage and read for yourself.
Which is the superior card?
Which card would you pick?

The fuckers have managed to do it 3 times in a row. This is already the FOURTH Firefox "stable" release in TWO WEEKS.

And they are all related to Windows fuckery.
The last one even clearly states that it only happens on SOME Windows configurations.
No amount of beta testing would be enough if no beta tester happened to have said configurations.

I rather use windows than some OS that can get hacked by pressing the backspace key 27 times.

I spend 90% of my time on the computer thanks to work and my hobbies. And I'm starting to develop carpal tunnel in my right hand. I already do exercises but it's time to get a stress ball or something similar. Any /g/entoomen have a good product they use? Or a method of beating the programmers worst enemy?
tldr beat back the devil that is carpal tunnel
yeah, a planck, pic related but not mine, went for the full 48 key grid
the reason being, by minimizing finger and wrist travel, it saves a lot of strain on my hand. I mapped mouse controls to a layer on it as well to further minimize movement when doing basic, minor mouse movements. The grid pattern also saves me from any awkward key presses that I experienced with a few keys on some staggered keyboards
Just exercise. Using your hands and grip to lift weights and building strength. Use your hands on something it is designed to do. Lifting stuff and gripping stuff while you hang and lift yourself.
>>52112470
that is beautiful piece of tech anon. Possibly my Christmas present to myself, did you start feeling carpal tunnel or just made the smart decision and fixed the problem before?
Bought one of these for £1. (That's around $2)
Intend to upgrade with 4 x 4TB drives.
The existing firmware only has options for Raid 1, 5, 10
wat do?
Would this be a reasonable backup solution?
raid is still not a backup
Its closer to a dollar you britkek
Enjoy your economy shitting the bed.

hdd speeds dive like a permeable ship
So i've been looking for a cheap (price and electricity cost) small server for home use of MariaDB (MySQL's better sister).
By cheap i mean somewhere in the ballpark of $300.
At first i thought about
HP ProLiant MicroServer G7 N54L
It is small, very power efficient, has ECC memory but pretty crappy processor.
And it made me think, although in enterprise solutions processor usually isn't a bottleneck in DB applications, however all those microsevers (which IMO are more suited for NAS) have crappy CPUs. I cannot find any realiabale data or benchmarks of those low power CPUs, taking into account DB workloads.
So i searched for aftermarket servers and found HP DL365 and HP DL80. They cost pretty much the same as N54L, have more RAM and better CPU. With those i wouln't be concerned about CPU bottlenecking it, but they crave power and require SAS drives (which are expensive, especially SSDs).
So, even that N54L is a bit more expensive than those used servers and have nicer form factor for a home use (i'd put it in my closet) i'm stil afraid that CPU woud become bottleneck.
Important thing, it's not some idle DB, it is set of 40 InnoDB tables, totalling 180GiB. On average 200 inserts/s, 40 updates/s, 5 deletes/s, everything transactional, averaging 5 operations per transaction, taking no more than 3 seconds each trx. Currently i run this DB on Pentium D 2.66GHz (two cores), 16GiB of RAM, RAID0 (speed) HDDs with daily backups. Pretty old stuff and DB servers aint going past 25% of CPU, but dont know how it would scale to that lower power one from N54L.
Also i don't want to top this servers CPU resources with DB, as this machine does other things too.
Tl;DR:
I need good, reliable, low cost, low power server for heavy MariaDB workloads.
>>52111764
Just a lil bump.
Just rent a server in the cloud dude this is a total waste of time.
>>52112829
I considered it and asked couple companies for quotes.
It would cost my at least twice as much monthly (including server amortization period of 2 years).
I would still need to run a second machine at home (which needs this DB) - more extra costs.
If i get a new small server i can have DB and application server on the same machine.
And no, i cannot put application server on the cloud with DB - it requires too much traffic and dedicated port costs a lot of money.
Would there be any drawbacks if i set up RAID-5 on 2.5” HDDs instead of 3.5”?
RAID-5 is deprecated.
you will have 1 inch less performance
>>52111718
First thing that comes to mind is speed because of most notebook drives having less cache and rpm, but I guess it depends on your use case.
Can someone help me with this vehicle Logic I am trying to do in Unity or give me some alternative to get me on the right track?
Basically I want this car to steer on the track without a pre-set waypoint-system on its own. At the moment I have two Rays to the sides(when the Ray on the right hits the bounds of the road it steers to the left and vice versa) and one longer Ray out the front that should tell the car to take a more steep curve when there is a curve ahead.(atleast that was the idea, apparently it doesnt work the way I imagined)
I drew this schematic...

The picture should be a representation of what it is doing at the moment.
Without waypoints, you're going to need some real-time full scene analysis to steer your cars, the kind that they do with physical robot cars. Why must your solution do without waypoints?
>>52111737
I am generating the road as the car drives. I could generate waypoints with the road too(which I did at first) but for some reason it didnt work out the way it should. Maybe I will get back to the waypoints(static waypoint system no problem, but this went a bit over my head)
How is this? Anyone cracked the model/editor yet?

Building a PC for a nephew, is this okay?
[spoiler]he said he wanted a gaming laptop but I convinced him otherwise. he just wants to play garry's mod[/spoiler]
>>52111296
If it's just for gMod. Get an FX-6300 and save yourself some money.
Grab an optical drive from a PC down the skip.
RAM too maybe. If the gypses haven't got to them yet.
Get cheaper FX 6300 and motherboard.
Upgrade the GPU from 250X to something like 280X or 380/X.

I was thinking about an i3 instead but asked if he wanted a PC that lasts a few years and went for the 4690.
250x is because it's my old card, so it's free.

I want to get a laptop and I was hoping /g/ could help. First of all, my budget is around 800€. I'm looking for a laptop that can handle 3D design programs (SolidWorks at least), computational analysis (Ansys and OpenFOAM) and some ocasional gaming (Dota,PoE,...).
My brother has an Asus k55 with an i7, 8GB RAM and a GeForce 610M. It works quite well, but I have some concerns about it. It's poorly built, with soft plastic all around that makes it feel very fragile, yet it is very heavy and awkwardly bulky. Can...

Laptops are shit. No matter what you get you're buying a disposable and proprietary machine. If you ever have a problem, you'll be lucky to get a repair/RMA completed within two weeks (of not having your system).
You probably won't get any BIOS updates after the first year, and it's very likely that some major bugs in the firmware will never be fixed - so you have to hope your OS of choice has developers willing to work around them just for your model of laptop.
Beyond that, do...

1. Set a budget. "I will spend no more than ___ for my laptop.
2. Open Sunday newspaper ads.
3. Is the laptop advertised under the price established in step 1? Buy that one.
Go to Newegg, Amazon, etc. and start adding filters until you find something you like. Then buy that one wherever it's cheaper.
