I'm gonna buy a cheap ass vidya card as a placeholder while I wait a few months for the 480/1080/1070 dust to settle, and prices all across the market to tank.
What's the best but cheapest CPU I could buy to pair with this mediocre placeholder vid card (probably a GTX 480 or similar around $50) that will still be relevant and satisfactory if later I decide to throw an RX 480 in there?
I want to spend as little as possible and strike a middleground between not being total ass but also not having to care much if it's a bit outdated compared to the...

Probably a Pentium G3258. I'd almost say a modded LGA771 Xeon, but you wouldn't be saving much and you'd be stuck with something incredibly outdated.
>>54874373
Seconded.
Atleast that way you end up with a modern socket and an upgrade path.
Why would CPU prices drop?
4.14 USD
Price decrease 0.29 (-6.55%)

What's the point in even applying to a place like Google? With over 2 million applicants a year, your chances of success are 10 times lower than getting into Harvard.
My University had a job fair this year and Google was there. The line to their table had probably over 100 people in it.
Is there any reason to even try?
>>54874170
Because if you aren't a shitter, you'll get an interview.
Maybe you will be one of the few lucky ones to work at Google. Same thing for plenty of the other major tech companies.
If you're such a lazy sack of shit that you can't even bother spending 30 minutes tweaking your résumé and clicking the "attach file" button, then you don't deserve to be employed there (or anywhere).

How am I supposed to connect my Dual Link DVI Korean monitor?
Use DP tot DVI converter or just get a proper monitor that has DP input
>>54873754
Not going to work.
All DP adapters that you can get are single link only even if the chink scammer says it is dual link compatible.
>>54873786
DP -> DL-DVI adapter exist, it's just that they still cost like $100 and need a USB plug for power, etc.

RMS is a disgusting freak who eats bits from his toenails and claims to be a doctor despite having earned Kanye West-style honorary degrees.
And no, having more of them doesn't make them less bullshit. Being wrong a thousand times doesn't make you less wrong.

Garbage drivers that have not been updated in years.
Get the presonus audiobox it beats the focusrite 2i2
>>54873423
I can't speak for the M-Audio speakers, but I love my LSR305s. Awesome purchase decision.
I agree with the other anons, whatever you do don't get the focusrite, you can find better nowadays.

Looks like your compiler might be shit, either that or you're really good at writing assembly.
I can never get my assembly output to be shorter than compiled C.
>>54873795
Well, his code barely does a big work so ASM code is shorter here.
>>54873266
Your C compiler produces better assembly from your C code than the assembly you write.
Hello /g/.
Recently after my mod, my r9 290 sapphire ed started smelling bad and making noise... sometimes my screen just freezes as I am watching videos
Is it dangerous to mod a graphic card ?
>>54873129
You fucked with it without knowing what the fuck you were doing. Don't do that. Retard.

How did you "mod" it?
You're asking this AFTER you made the mod?
You're a special kind of stupid.
Alright so I learned some basic syntax? What now?
You code.

Hello /g/. I recently go my hands on a prehistoric computer. We're talking 600MHz CPU clock and 128MB RAM.
It runs XP surprisingly well (slow, I mean ok, it's 600 fucking megahertz), but XP aren't good enough for a haxxor like me (although I'll probably dual boot for software compatability issues).
Here's what I want: I want the laptop to run Debian or Ubuntu (or arch, don't sperg out) without any GUI.
Is removing the display manager and then running autoremove enough to do it?
And what if I want to swich from this CLI...

On every distro you have 7 consoles. 1-6 and 8.
7 is usually X, the Desktop.
Install whatever distro you want, hit CTRL+ALT+F1 and enjoy your CLI life. Want a GUI? Hit CTRL+ALT+F7 and back are you.
