I just noticed my PC still has some vestigial software from times long past.
Like iTunes for instance. My iPod broke 3 years ago, so why do I still use this piece of shit software that keeps updating every 2 hours?
does /g/ know some good alternatives?

Why the fuck would I want a pre-built?

Because 30% off essentially making a 980ti cost $200

I think you failed math.
I managed to get the new experimental amdgpu driver with ogl 4.5 and vulkan support on a fresh ubuntu partition. It seems to work, opengl might even be faster than windows catalyst. But my screen resolution is stuck, how do I change it? only 1280x1024 can be selected and there's no documentation for the driver.
I mean 1024x768.
800x600 is actually selectable as well.

I forgot my router's fucking password.
Can I get it back or do I just kill myself?

Is the default pw not admin?

It is but I changed it and I don't know to what.
You can look up default logins for most routers online. See if you can find some on google or whatever. If you already set a password but forgot it, there's usually a factory reset button on the device that you need to press for a few seconds.
Why are people calling AMD cards housefires nowadays?
I thought that meme came from Fermi cards literally catching on fire.
>>53567217
I want to impregnate Shimakaze.
The simple answer is that nvidia has the higher marketshare.
That seems unrelated but it's actually oh-so related.
Higher marketshare means more kids, more kids means more fanboys, more fanboys means more butthurt, and more butthurt means that if you call nvidia cards housefires for literally having a grill on them and reaching 105C, fanboys get butthurt and apply the same thing to AMD cards when they reach the staggering temperature of 90C.
Which is still hot, but they equate wattages with housefires when it's the temperature of the card that matters.
It's...

Wattage is directly related to heat. If you GPU uses 2x more energy it produces 2x more heat. Now if you can disipate the heat all is good. But clearly not an easy task for 300w+ TDP.
My 980 idles at 28c and 61c on full load w/ fans at 60%. My friends 390 reaches 85c on load w/ 85% fan speed.
Physics dont lie
can someone explain to me why a case for a graphics card (not even a full pc case) costs 500 dollar?
it does NOT come with an actual graphics card inside it
who on this earth is stupid enough to buy it?

might as well just buy an entirely new computer instead
Build Thread?
Getting a prefab box and I'm planning on swapping in a 970 and the power supply. Will these work together?
Video card specs to come.
And here's the specs for the video card. I chose the card based off of logicalincrements and because I have cash. I'm just hoping the power supply will be sufficient because the tower has no indication as to what wattage it is.
Don't get a prefab box
should i get 1151 or 1150?
I will pay $400 plus shipping to the anon that can create the following:
-A device (plugged into an outlet) that constantly monitors sound output in decibels.
-A programmed module, using a series of If/Then statements, so that when a certain level of decibels is exceeded, it will send a signal to activate "Device B" for a duration of 5 seconds.
-"Device B" is any kind of contraption, doesn't matter, but it has to be able to cause a semi violent vibration, enough to shake a kitchen table to where cups and plates eventually "shake off" if that gives you any idea. Has to also of course be electrically powered
-An internal clock that follows the date/time (with or without daylight savings), and causes the whole device to be active from 9pm to 9am.
-A battery powered wireless switch/receiver built in, that allows the device to be switched to: 1)active/inactive 2)on/off 3)vibrating/non-vibrating
-Needs to be programmable.
Do not ask me why I need it.

Sounds like a task for an arduino and a couple sensors.
You could cook that up in a couple days (starting from zero knowledge at all) and, say, $40-50 assuming you don't go chinese with the parts.

would you mind posting a list of parts I could buy? I am trying to figure out how to engineer this thing.

Even if you can manage to keep your own machines secure, would the prospect of living in a country where the government has access to all of the data stored by every bank, doctor, therapist, etc, no matter how rigorously they tried to protect the privacy and security of their customers and patients, make anyone here consider leaving the U.S.?
I am assuming that there would be some manufacturers with the sense to resist, who would be unable to do business in the U.S. as a result of legal fines or outright bans, and that the rest of the world wouldn't have it as bad...

Obama is just regurgitating bullshit, but it shows that the FBI doesn't want you to be able to hide data anywhere and would probably cream their workpants if they could find a way to extract info directly from people's brains. (In before tinfoil hats, they would strap you down and saw you open if they had to)

There's quite a few patents out there on mind reading, shit's ogre, though that's stepping on muh tinfoil paranoid schizophrenia
What does /g/ think of "Display Port" ? Do you think its better than HDMI or even DVI?
mini dp is great
>>53563724
it is objectively better than hdmi/dvi
there is nothing to think about
>>53563724
Technically and physically superior to both, doesn't have the licensing issues that HDMI has. Only lacking in adoption.

I've still got a copy, but it sucks to use. I think they updated it and messed it up and now they're doing a rewrite that's not working yet.

I really love how HN has gone full butthurt from this:
https://medium.com/the-development-set/silicon-valley-s-unchecked-arrogance-d86cbb8db52
> people have no money to eat in many countries because of the lack of jobs and tiny salaries
> we're going to automate everything, so even less jobs are available
> then capitalists in shitty countries will go for UBI and everybody will be happy
> yay, California!
Automating jobs hurts only in the short term. Governments inability to adjust welfare programs should not be a constraint on automation.
>>53560677
...in developed countries
I do not suggest constraints, so does the author of the article above.
But shit really needs to be fixed instead of funding endless snapchats.
>>53560645
>full butthurt
not really, seems like they had issue with the fact that the article had no real proposals how to fix anything
ofc hn is a sv echo-chamber but the article's main point was that paul graham needs to check his privilege
some guy linked to this, which imo is the best response: https://blog.jaibot.com/the-copenhagen-interpretation-of-ethics/
