How do i know a monitor is not shit?
I don't have a lot of money to spend but i do want a dual monitor setup. I'm currently using my 40' TV as a primary monitor and as you imagine that is not optimal.
What should i look for? I don't care for gaming memes even though i play CS:GO

I'm not looking for recommendations, i'm just asking about what factors i should consider whan buying a monitor.

It's sort of a meme now. Someone asks a question? >>>/wsr/
Microsoft fails Windows Phone fans again by delaying Windows 10 Mobile. All three of them are really pissed!

Better than pushing out a buggy, phone-wrecking update that halves the battery duration and makes everything lag.

Who cares about your third world country.
>we can't get Windows Phone smartphones anymore
You don't even have international delivery? How shitty can your country be?
Found my brother's old shitty tablet. Anything cool I can do with it?
Can I use it as a second screen for my desktop?
It runs android, I'm still charging it so no idea what version, but it's pretty old.

I have a GTX 780.
Is it true the latest drivers gimped the card and makes it perform worse?

780 was the competitor to r9 290.. now it's the competitor of 280X aka 7970
>gimped the card
No, it's just you keeping deprecated obsolete hardware out of the trash.
There's some sweet deals on reference 980s right now, go for it champ!
I have the same card. It's doing great so far. I asked here a couple of times and they said the 780 is a fine card for now. Better to save money and buy new hardware next year (according to /g/)

Firefox (nightly) and bitmap UI fonts not working anymore. What do?
>>51978907
Not your personal tech support
>>>/wsr/
It's $CURRENT_YEAR. Why do you care about bitmap fonts? They're ugly. If you hate the current state of outline font rendering that much, invest in a HiDPI monitor.
>>51978907
Maybe try searching for something related in about:config?about:config?filter=font
Or look through Nightly changes and see if anything related is mentioned.
Best Intel processor around 200 usd/eur?
I'm looking to build a new PC. The last time I built one was 6-7 years ago, since then I've been forced to get laptops. Until now.

Assuming you have a motherboard that can OC:
i3-6100 / 130€
i5-6400 / 190€
Assuming you have a motherboard that can't OC:
i5-6500 / 220€
i5-6600K / 275€

I haven't decided on the mobo yet. Am I doing it in the wrong order? I was thinking proc first, mobo second, gpu third. Maybe cooling fourth. I have everything else.

Where can I buy an audiophile grade NAS or hard drive?
Audiophile grade hard drive? You mean gold plated and shit? With vacuum tubes stuck to it? What does that mean?

We selected two traditional hard-disk drives (HDDs), and two solid-state drives (SSDs): a 500GB Hitachi Travelstar 7K500,a 500GB Seagate Momentus 7200.4, a 128GB Kingston SSDNow and a 120GB Corsair F120.
In our initial listening tests, I couldn't discern any tangible difference in sound between the two hard drives. Harris thought the Hitachi sounded very ethereal, almost out of phase, and rated it lowest; the Seagate was sharper with a more thumpy bass, slightly brighter with a slight tendency to sibilance. Both lacked much drive in presenting the Madonna track, and were certainly 'mushy' compared with the best sound quality we'd heard from the QNAP stable.
Drive three (a solid state type) gave a far from subtle shift in tone and soundstaging. I thought that here this Kingston SSD spread the stage wider, could really pull apart the multi-track layers, and certainly led in blackness too, sounding agreeably quieter than it had any right to. Yet there was also a dull flatness to its presentation, even a graying of timbre.
If the Kingston SSD stood apart from the disk drives for its mostly good yet quite alien character, drive four made itself known for entirely the wrong reasons. This Corsair drive (another SSD) conspicuously highlighted vocal sibilants, and had a hard, relentless quality that was impossible to miss. Strangely, it also robbed the music of pace; it was the least engaging on any emotional level thanks to an enveloping tunelessness that appeared to carve up a song like an MP3 rip.

So it seems none of these drives sounds neutral.

Which is better? Xioami Redmi Note 2 or Lenovo K3?
Anything better for a sub $200 phone?
>>51978668
FYI i have a Nexus 4 i want to change.
>TFW there will never be a based thinkpad phone
If I was going to full infected botnet virus phone I would do the Lenovo K3
Any good alternatives to F.lux?
Cons- seems to penalize my display rendering time. Sometimes wish I could make the effect more intense than the highest setting allows.
Pros - does the job, easy to use.
Android alternative I recently tried is called Twilight. It's okay. Switched to it because L.ux Light was pissing me off because it kept forgetting the preferences I gave it.
I guess Altertavite Software General
Try CF lumen for Android
>>51978669
ok, thanks
CM comes with LiveDisplay, it's the same of f.lux. having both features on laptop and muy smartphone feels great

>AMD HD 5xxx and 6xxx series are no longer supported
Explain this.
>>51978395
Supporting legacy hardware can bloat code. The people who use 5xxx and 6xxx are not likely the people who are trying to get maximum performance
>>51978395
They were moved to legacy.
Why?
Well, 2 simple reasons
>They're not GCN
They're a completely different architecture to AMD's current, and future GPU lineups. And they do not have the driver teams to develop for 5 year old GPUs and their current lineup.
>5xxx and 6xxx
Modern games have moved far enough ahead to where these cards do not perform adequately no matter the optimisations that AMD perform.
All that...

My HD 5770 still gives me a steady 45+ fps in battlefield 4 and gta v at 900p.
Also, my pic in the op shows Crimson being compatible with the hd 5770. Going to try overclocking it later tonight.

My GTX 670 died last night So I had to go back to this.
A Finnish hobbyist computer magazine "Skrolli" is trying to widen their audience by doing (at first) one magazine in english. I've read the magazines in finnish, enjoyed them a lot and I think that this might interest like-minded people from all over the world. Skrolli is a non-profit association.
