Does it bother you that Chrome eats so much RAM or do you consider this a just price to pay for fast performance and good stability?
Chrome uses up to 1.5GB of RAM when I browse the web but it's never been something I really cared about since my laptop has 6GB of RAM.

I used to love Firefox but recently they started to add shit I didn't care about and the performance/RAM usage got way worse than it used to be.
I use Chrome even though I know Google steals my private information.
Just download one tab, but desu I don't really mind, it's snappy
It doesn't bother me because I use Firefox that has never gone above 500 MB of RAM with my normal browsing activity with the record being 850 when watching HD YT videos.
Is a MacBook good for uni doing computer science, compiling a shit ton of lines of code? If not, what else do you recommend?
I'll definitely install gentoo of course
A $600 Asus laptop crushes the new $1300 MacBook in benchmarks
>>51851735
Why are you worried about the speed your code compiles? You're a student, you don't have that much to compile, it's not a fucking race.
But yeah, install gentoo.
>>51851851
Okay? MacBook Pros are better.
So few days ago i was testing noise levels of my new case fans (Cooler Master poor tier fans) so i bumped them to different fan curve profiles but i couldn't distinguish the noise of case fans from my R9 270X's fans, so i turned all of the fans in my pc off (cpu, gpu and psu fans) to hear how they perform on their own, but i had to go to work and i forgot it like that, so for a few days after that they were off which i did not realise since i forgot what i did. I could not figure out why was my gpu stuck at 92'C, and cpu (FX 6350) at 70'C+ in Fallout 4 since...
Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
Um are you retarded?
If you disable the fan on any cpu or gnu it's gonna die real fucking fast.
get a clue buddy.
>>51851888
Hm... I don't think you got the point, components were idling and were around 28-35'C with fans off while i was checking stuff. The point is that i made a mistake and nothing died, or was damaged, i checked with several stress tests.

AMD products are forged in the fires of Hell, their components will literally alight before becoming damaged.
what if we started our own boot camp /g/?
I always see people saying they want to learn programming or have just started. Why not band together for support? Project ideas etc.
Veterans could also help so we can have /g/ level programmers.
I don't know, what do you think?
>>51851617
I will help by calling you guys a bunch of faggots
>>51851673
sure I was expecting some of that
>>51851673
You best be joking nigger.
Serious question.
What OS are terrorist organizations like ISIS and al-Qaeda running?
I would assume they are using something volatile like tails?
Windows. They really don't care.
Old bombers say all you need is a 555 timer and a casio watch.
W10 probably.
I like the specs but the resolution is terrible. What else do you recommend in the same price range.
Please

Fuckfuckfuckfuck fuck! Fuck /g/, I fucked big time! I got thermal paste on the underside connectors of the CPU. Fuck! What do I do now? I don't care if you guys cuss me out, but please tell me what to do now. This CPU is worth more than I make in two months!
Looks like Arctic Silver, wait for it to dry and get it off, as long as it's not in your mobo socket you'll be fine

Rubbing alcohol
Compressed air
Also shove something large in your ass. You have some pent up homosexuality.

Don't panic. Get a q tip and soak in isopropyl alcohol then gently run off the excess grease. Be careful and don't get caught on the pins. Go slow.

Why do so many Indians work in IT?
because they're qt3.14
>>51851049
Because there is over a billion of them. Heaps of them work in every industry. Pull your head out of your arse.
They are ok with working ridiculous hours for little pay, so make much better code monkeys than westerners, being faster and getting a lot more practice.
Same reason people hire so many Chinese mathematicians

I have it set to celsius but I wanted to highlight how its almost hot enough to bake a cake
And I've have this computer for years
How this computer hasn't suffered a complete meltdown, nobody knows, that's got to be some voodoo black magic crap I tell ya.
New guts thread. Post dem guts.
>you will never know the amount of pain it is to cut old computer case sheet metal with a sawzall because you're out of dremel tips and need to graft in a power supply.
be glad you don't know.
why not just get a new computer case, you dumb, fucking brainless fag ?
>>51850586
>buy a new case
when I can get used, probably scratch&dent cases for free from a friend that does scrap metal for a living?
you simply must be joking.
also, sleeper machines are pretty neat if the case allows for ample airflow as this one does.

i'd say 23" at least, and go for 144 Hz if you dont like tears
Avoid HDMI, unless you wanna hook up a console, shit makes monitors cost at least $40 more, and avoid speakers too cus they make it cost more, and are garbage anyway
I'll try to find you one

He's a real cunt. Always with the fucking long words. The little cunt has his own ring of garbage trucks to come clean up after him, no lie.
Once you get to know him, he's nice though. He gets along with everyone pretty well.
