What do you use?
Just got this on sale for $60 (CAD)
Gonna flash Merlin on it.
The piece of shit Arris dg860 that came with my internet company. Not sure what to do about it either

Are you on DSL or cable? I remember when I had cable, they just gave me a modem and I could use my own router. This was around 5 years ago, though.
>>55428051
got a high-end Dlink router as a refurb on Newegg for around $40. Works like a charm, and even if it breaks i'll have paid like 1/3 of what it costs new.

Everyone's getting a new GPU edition
I am waiting for Vega and big Pascal.
Whichever is the better deal. I love Sapphire's 480, it's so nice looking. Too bad even two would just be a sidegrade at best.
>>55428009
I was going to get a 480 myself but I really don't need it, whilst my CPU is shite and needs upgrading my GPU is fine for my needs (R9 285)

I wish I didn't have to get new cards. I'm just hitting the vram ceiling too often. It's really a waste because the actual raw performance of them is fantastic. (those cards are 970's)
My previous system actually was a FX6300. It's a decent little chip. I think I OC'd it to 4.3 stable which wasn't too good. I try not to upgrade more than once every 3 or 4 years.
Pic related, my old build.

Was software encoding a fluke?
Have we entered an era where only dedicated hardware encoders can do something fast enough?
>>55427885
Hardware encoders aren't even close yet, even for mature formats like h264
>>55427916
You see I'm not talking about older standards. Rather newer ones that are more computationally taxing. So much that it seems software solutions for desktop users aren't enough for encoding.
>>55428028
That's because the software encoders ate still not optimized, they're in their infancy
Also, because CPU's have been stagnated for 5 years now
I'm looking to learn to use Linux (on a technical STEM degree) but mostly learning for fun. How is the raspberry Pi Model B for this?
I already ave a desktop for normie stuff
Raspberry pis are great for projects like they are made for, if you want to learn linux put it on a desktop. Also what is it about Linux that you want to learn?
I bought a raspberry pi and i use it as a mobile gaming device that i take to my friends LAN parties where we play diablo 2. I have it attatched to the back of an old monitor i have and just bring a small keyboard and wireless mouse while running d2 in wine. I dont know why but its pretty comfy
>I want to learn Linux
Why do I hear this so often? Please specify what you actually want to learn. I'm guessing it isn't even about Linux.
Got an idea. KeePass Cloud, yay or nay?
>>55427819
keep your database in the cloud and your key on a flash drive+other backups and also a backup of the database somewhere plus a password in your brain.
GOOD IDEA, The Cloud (TM) is a great way to store your passwords so that the government can keep tabs on what you're doing.
Good idea! Its called save it in google drive!
If you own or if you are intimately familiar with the iPhone SE, would you kindly tell me your opinions on that phone? My current phone is an iPhone 4S. I like small phones. I have no need for a large screen. I think the iPhone SE is the phone I want but I have not seen one nor do I know anyone with one. Please help an anon if you can. Your expert review of the iPhone SE is greatly appreciated and I thank you for the courtesy.
If you want the speed of a 6s in the frame of a 5s, it's wonderful. Not much else to say really. I also prefer smaller screens. No use in slab-like, penis-compensating monstrosities.
>>55427940
>penis-compensating
it's a pretty aggressive mental gymnastic you've done to imagine that people who buy a slightly larger smartphone are compensating for something. it *almost* sounds like something you think about more than other people, and are projecting onto them now.
>>55427988
Sounds like I hit a nerve with my attempt at humor, used in such a way to draw out insecure, probably small-dicked defenders of inanimate objects. I have succeeded.
Also, go back to school son. You might want to read some more undergrad psychology text books next time to avoid embarrassing yourself.

Seems like reflow goes wrong way more times than it fixes anything.

Any tips for an aspiring video editor?
The only things I've been working on every since acquiring a Video Editing Software have been really simple edits of stupid things.
do normie csgo edits, use clickbait to attract viewers, get casino page sponsors, get money
get on it, the csgo industry is huge
