With CPU performance stagnation. would you be able to get a cheap 4790k in say 2020?
You could get a cheap CPU capable of playing everything you throw at it.
It's better to look for Xeons after that time. You can find Xeons now that are absolute monsters for 60-70$

CPU performance isn't stagnant though, programming and stupid compatability is.
>muh Sandy Bridge
Can't do AVX2, Older instruction IPC is insignificant vs newer instructions that can do that same output in less cycles.
>>54443488
You don't really need to buy that beefy of a CPU for gaming most of the time, though.

Get cucked by the jews, faggot. Support a company that deserves it, like AMD.
don't care care about VR. don't care about 4k.
not wasting money on it.

Is it possible to have a Mac thread on here without it degenerating into shitposting?
As a Mac User I feel entitled to say:
>OS X is shit!
The MacBook Air is one of the greatest notebooks ever made, even for Windows and Linux users
No because macs are for homosexuals and women.
>mfw I see this thread

This thread might've gone somewhere if you didn't pick such a shitty image to start with.
Why haven't you installed custom firmware on your router yet, Anon?
>>54442939
I'm afraid to brick it and the stock one works great for over a year without restart.
>>54442939
have you exploited any of the additional functions or did you just flash it because it's supposed to run better?
>>54442996
I'm trying to get privoxy to run to block ads. Also, I'm planning to instal a torrent client later on.
Best silent computet case?
Currently lookig at BeQuiet Silent Base 800, picture related
Fractal Design Define R5 non-windowed
minimalism or GTFO
>>54442958
I can vouch for this, have it with 4 noctua nf-a14 fans and an nh-u14s cpu cooler, holy silent computing. plus the cooling is just amazing, 10/10 comfy would never go back
>>54442958
OP here, yes was looking at it too, but I really like the included fans that have almost the same build quailty as a Noctua fan. HDD mounts are nice too.

What distro ships and has the most stable and optimized KDE 5 ?
What are your experiences?
>>54442723
Kubuntu, OpenSUSE or the new KDE Neon I suppose.

None
Any game developers out there?
I'm thinking about touching on video game development to see if this is something I'd like to do. I already know basic Java and C#, so I think learning a new language or a new way of programming isn't going to be that big of a problem, I'll figure that out on my own. I'm thinking about 3D games primarily, but if it's recommended to hit the 2D scene first just to get the basics down, I'm open to this as well. Please note that this is just to see if this is for me.
To start my journey, I will need to pick a game engine. What are the advantages/disadvantages of each engine? The graphical part is not a dealbreaker for me, if one engine is easier to use than another that gives great graphics, I'd be happy to trade away the graphics for easier creation and/or more versatility.
When I have decided on an engine to start off with, I'll probably be watching tutorials for a couple of weeks and start off on my own, I just need a little startup help deciding where to start, what preliminary choices to make (and not to make), and anything else you think would be helpful to know from the start. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Also, feel free to discuss anything related to game development.
Here's a cute cat for your time.
Whatever you pick, pick something that has good docs. It's frustrating to no end when you're trying to work with a library or engine that doesn't say how you're supposed to use it. For example:
Unity
>good docs online
>highlight a bit of code, Ctrl+quote, the docs get searched for that string
>tons of tutorials
>easy AF
Cocos2d
>few docs
>old online docs were completely purged
>example code is commented in chinese
>all the tutorials are out of date, for that other language that you aren't using, on that other platform you aren't using
>kill me now
>I'm thinking about 3D games primarily, but if it's recommended to hit the 2D scene first just to get the basics down
The main issue is art assets. If you have 3d assets or a modeler or can make models then it's fine going to into 3d. If not then it's much easier to bullshit some 2d sprites.
>>54442796
Thanks for the tip, I know the feeling when documentations is shit. I have heard that Unity is a pretty popular engine, do you think this is a good starting point for beginners?
And yeah, my biggest concern is the graphics part. I can't even draw stick figures IRL, so I'll have to learn how to do graphical work as well. I'm all about learning new stuff tho, so I think it could be fun.
Thanks for the fast reply.
/vg/ is a better place to ask about vidya development, /vg/ has their own amateur game development general. Vidya isn't well liked here because of /v/ so be prepared for a ton of people telling you to go back to /v/
is this the one you /g/aylords recommend?
also mp3 player general, I guess
>>54442659
no
that one is absolute shit
mx player on android.
>>54442659
the official /g/ top recommendation for an mp3 player is your phone
a vocal minority suggest using a proprietary device. they are mental defectives
Who gives a fuck how flimsy you can make a phone look? Why are companies not making a phone double this thickness and giving at a 6,000 mAh battery with VOOC?
Nokia should have done that since they had a reputation for sturdy heavy phones that can be used to kill a man and destroy a car by throwing them at it.
I would have bought their phones if they were thick brick tank machines, with batteries filling that thickness.
Alas, Nokia ended up how it ended up.
One word: money.
It's one of the easiest metrics to market because it is immediately perceived. Same reason phone screens keep getting bigger.
How do I get this?
It's a program called Gentoo, install it.
With a gentoo install.
>>54442400
Not so complicated to install, search this on google "how to read a filename"
Been using this for about two years now and I'm wondering, should I try out any other app? Looking for something new.
I don't always post if not at all but I was wondering if there was something better.
Overchan is fantastic, I can browse 8 and 4chan plus many other image boards in one app.
>>54442307
Oh nice, I've actually been wanting something for 8 but I've always forgotten about it.
I'll definitely check it out!
clover is fine
What the fuck, Microsoft?
I DO NOT FUCKING WANT WINDOWS 10 DAMN IT
Now I'll have to be careful to do not let Windows upgrade on its own.
>>54442260
Unless you have some programs that wont run with 10, you do want it though.
Oh wait, did you fall for that anti-W10 FUD? I thought anyone browsing /g/ would be smart enough not to.

Dear Pajeet,
10 rupees have been deposited into your account.
I'm a BSD fan philosophically. Its license doesnt get in my way and it isnt a legal time bomb. Is there a Linux distro that either heavily scales back all the GNU-GPL Autism or removes it entirely?
>>54442205
linux kernel is licensed under GPL, so basically, you can't.
>>54442205
>Its license doesnt get in my way and it isnt a legal time bomb.
Do a little research before you bait anon.
And no.
Linux kernel is GPLv2 and any work using it's code is derivative work and therefore has to be GPL.
Don't they have a BSD Ubuntu OS now anyway?
