TWC is pretty good fa.m. Only paying $45 for this.
>>54828174
don't like the service? don't use it. it's not water. you won't die if they just cut you off.
the free market will fix everything, anon. or what, are you a commie?
What can be done?
Why is this so expensive and why do people pay so much for it?
Ask the same people who pay $1200+ for a macbook that has 128GB of "flash storage" (glorified Mac SSD) in 2016.
>>54828133
Every top end phone aside from nexus and Chinese shit is that expensive
>>54828172
But isn't it a NVMe PCIe ssd? And why does it take so long to boot? And that's too expensive for a laptop of that caliber.
How would you improve on current laptop design?
What's there to improve?
Parts are already standarized, you can switch the cpu or gpu on high-end models but you end with a big-ass laptop.
And small laptops need to have the parts soldered, that's why you buy good specs from the beggining if you want the best portable device.
Modular laptop.
Like google ara but a laptop, where you could switch out the gpu/cpu whenever a new model comes out, swap hdds/ssds, remove/replace your battery, ect.
>>54828488
You can do this on most laptops today. Good laptops.
I just bought this beauty and more ram for mine.
What's THE resolution of 2016?
People aren't still using 2560x1440 and lower are they?
>>54828096
Which app is that on the menu bar?
>>54828434
rdm or Retina Display Manager
>>54828096
>not using DPI scaling
Might not be the best place to ask, but I know there are some macfags here and I would like a generally unbiased opinion. I bought a Macbook Pro in 2010 and it's got Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on it. I've temporarily had other Macbooks with Tiger and Leopard, and to me, Snow Leopard is an awesome, awesome OS. Then I downloaded Mavericks because SL was being phased out and it was a steaming pile of shit. So I went back to SL 10.6.8. Anybody here have El Capitan? Is it good?
tldr is El Capitan good or bad
>>54828073
it's fucking bad, like a slightly better Mavericks in some points
If you want it to be not shit, get an SSD.
>>54828073
>macshit OS
>good
Pick one.
>>54828116
That is a damn shame. Thank you.

>Whereas GeForce GTX 1080 comes equipped with a full GP104 sporting 20 Steaming Multiprocessors across four Graphics Processing Clusters, 1070 sheds a complete GPC, losing five SMs in the process. That leaves it with 15 SMs, or 1920 CUDA cores (vs. 2560) and 120 texture units (vs. 160).
This is probably a retarded question, but would it be possible to just enable that 4th gpc on a gtx 1070?
Yeah totally
>>54827965
yes because it ''broked'' 1080 so we make 1070 with the non broked cores
>>54827965
It's nvidia you're talking about OP, so no.
How do I graduate from /g/?
By actually installing gentoo and living like a freetard?

Should I upgrade my i5 2500k ?
I'm buying 1070 and I don't know if my processor won't drag the GPU down.
I'm only talking about gaming performance
Obviously upgrading is always better so why not but the thing is I'm broke as fuck
Is it overclock ?
OC it to 4.2Ghz to 4.5Ghz and you're fine.
Which way do you prefer?
just follow google style convention for your language
>>54827580
I did the first style in school because that's how I learned to program. Then I read K&R and the Linux kernel coding style guide and discovered that anything not K&R is wrong because (a) K&R are _right_ and (b) K&R are right.

>AMD will be bought out by Samsung in your lifetime
>>54827422
That's a good thing.
>>54827422
Nah.
Samsung is just going to buy in to the x86 market with their own processors.
>>54827422
JUST
Is it true you americans can't buy the GTX1080 for $699, but that 699 is only the net price without tax?
Because in europe everyone is saying the 1080 costing 799€ ($889) here is because 699 is only the dollar price without tax and our price ($889) is with tax included.
that's what you get for being a secondary market
What is VAT.
The founders edition is $699 in the US. Non-founders is like a $100 cheaper.
Tax depends on the state you are in. Mine in Pennsylvania is 7%, but it isn't charged on all websites. Only those that have a place in my state.

>inb4 why not stay on 7
because I'm upgrading to a skylake system with a 4k monitor. Need that hardware support senpaitachi.
remove wat?
>>54827136
you could always use a freedom respecting OS instead.
or if you want your gay men, you could buy a license.
>>54827142
yes, removewat
>>54827167
nah. linux is for my laptop and fun. windows is for my desktop that I never want to crash, never want to reinstall, and to keep my files backed up permanently
I keep windows installs for upwards of 5 or more years. I rarely keep a linux install for 6 months. I'm never satisfied with one enough to not try out something else
No fuck off macfag
Not technically, it isn't an Intel processor, AMD doesn't have some instruction set as Intel which apple use in there macs
