Is there a reason to upgrade from this yet?
>outdated when it released
>no SD card
Should have upgraded when you got it.
>>53329356
>outdated when it released
what
>no SD card
This one is legit but I was well aware of it before buying, faggot.
Been mirin the zenfone 2, it seems x86 can beat arm in its own game and you can run pretty much anything on it.
>>53329356
fuckoff consumercuck
What's the fucking point of even using this distro when Arch and Slackware exist? Common software can take dozens of hours to compile with practically zero performance benefits. Does it even have any useful and not just highly situational advantages to it?
>>53329017
>practically zero
yup, it's not for you.
>>53329054
Tell me more about those 50msec faster boot times then
>>53329017
It's fun if you enjoy that kinda stuff. I wouldn't use it in a serious context though.
So, basically, I'm in 1st year of CS, and in the first semester I learned Haskell, and it was awesome.
Now in the 2nd semester I'm learning C and also have to make a project on it, but now I'm running tight on the deadline and don't know almost anything of C. Can you recommend books/tutorials/ whatever that can help me learn this from the beggining. Thanks
>>53328158
Just try to code with it. That's the best way to learn.
>>53328210
It's kind hard to do ti when I don't know how to do it. For example, I've got to make this game, and the first step is to make a function that shuffles and gives cards. kek how do I do that?
>>53328275
google: shuffle array
so i've purchased an Nvidia Quadro M4000 for 800 bucks.
it's essentially a premium gtx 970 with 8gb vram, more bandwidth, that nvidia itself ensures receives the cream of the crop from the chips that are produced.
Aaaaand now to flash a custom bios to it to bring the clock speeds from 750mhz to 1200mhz.
i'll be using Maxwell 2 bios tweaker, gpu-z, NVflash.
anyone interested in this sort of thing?
the stuff in pic related is for the build its going into, dual xeons, 64gb ram 4 channel 16x4gb, ssd, water cooled, all that. gotta get the mahogany and glass to make the case. right now its inside an amd a6-3600 computer...
anyone interested?
>>53327788
Interested in what exactly, OP?
Fancy specs are one thing, but unless you actually plan on using it for something cool I'm not really interested.
No, gaming is not "something cool".
>>53327788
On /g/? No, we're only interested in shillposting and shitty destitute-tier computers.
>>53327788
>64gb ram 4 channel 16x4gb
...but there's 16 slots there in the pic... plenty of room for more
>Diskeeper Thread
How often do you guys defrag your HDD's?
Excusing those with SSD's, defragmenting to me is one of those super needy things to do, but I've been doing it lately.
>>53327420
I use linux so i don't have those problems.
>>53327441
Does Linux defrag intelligently? I've been using this Diskeeper and it shows how it's working but I'm wondering if the performance gain is few and far between.
>>53327420
Yes goy, keep defragging your hdd, it sure make it more faster and not put inecessary wear on it!
Seriously though, like, do you install and uninstall software that much that you need to defrag OP?
Don't tell me you don't have a partition for data apart from the os partition?
What is the most polished, good looking, solid all around DESKTOP distro of 2016 so far?
I have to install it on a new desktop system and I can't choose... from the screenshots, I don't like Linux Mint Cinnamon, I don't know why
Any recommendations?
What's the best Linux Desktop has to offer in 2016 so far?
inb4 install gentoo
>>53327048
You answered yourself OP. Xubuntu
Linux Mint, faggot.
>>53327048
Xfce that comes with Xubuntu (they're making it prettier) is BY FAR best, good looking DE.
Well, shit...

No
>no tablets with Exynos 8890 or Snapdragon 820 announced AT ALL
>heck, even no tablets with A72 cores announced
What is this horseshit, I want an actual modern processor in a 10" tablet
Fuck me if I'm not salivating over the A9X, can these companies do anything right?
Get a tablet with a silvermont cores or better atom processor. Turns out x86 silvermont cores BTFO ARM cores. They match krait 400 cores while being more energy efficient. They're also more energy efficient than even A53 cores.
>>53326535
Why the fuck do you need some 32 core 5 jijajertz processor on an Android tablet?
>he fell for the tablet meme
Laptops come with built in
>screen
>keyboard
>mouse(touchpad)
>wireless
>speakers
>portability
>battery
And offer competent performance within a much smaller thermal bracket and lower energy consumption.
Why do so many people claim they're overpriced compared to desktops? They're actually pretty good for the price they charge.
>>53326404
Lmao try rendering several 1080p videos simultaneously on a laptop at the same pricepoint of a desktop workstation
>>53326404
because if you dont need portability desktops offer greater speed for half the price.
Yes you get alot, but if you dont need that one feature its a useless package to buy.
>>53326440
>half the price
While a laptop may offer better performance I'm curious about the price difference between an i3 laptop and i3 desktop when you factor in all the extras like screen and peripherals
r9 280x>r9 380>r9 380x
Proove me wrong
Your own image proved you wrong.
Well if you start out with AMD you've already cut away with all chances of ever being right.

Anyone still using phone of the year 2013 (HTC ONE M7) or Phone of the year 2014 (HTC One M8).
The M10 is coming soon, expect another failure as Scott Croyle is no more with the company.
How long are you guys planning to hold on to your M7/M8?
Facts:
M8 has the best community support, with new Roms coming out daily.
M8 is one of the best purchases still as it's sold in the 300$ range now.
The M8 is considered as a incremental update to the M7. However those increments are overlooked as the M8 gained 50% more battery life than the M7 with better louder speakers.
The M8 performs better than the M9
The M8 has better battery life than the M9
The M8's 5 MP ultrapixel camera has better quality than M9's 20 Megapixel.
I'm using an M8 for 1,5 years now. Getting a new contract in september/October, going back to iPhone sorry to say.
I love the phone, I do not love Android.
>>53325370
>The M8 performs better than the M9
I dunno about that, everything else is pretty much true though.
I use the M8 with Android Revolution HD
I will keep using it until it breaks. Still fast and smooth
Explain this shit?
/v should be the board but I assume CS and tech people from /v come to /g and also /v is pure cancer.
>>53325342
explain what?
He made a massively popular game. Or at least owned the rights to a massively popular game, which microsoft bought out for a ridiculous price, not realising that the minecraft train was running out of steam.
What's there to explain?
He just got extremely lucky, he didn't plan his game to become a worldwide hit that will make him a millionaire. He later learned he filled a niche he didn't even know about.
Word of mouth and youtube contributed to the success of minecraft way more than any marketing persson did himself.
what mobile apps you can't live without?
for me it's popcorntime, spotify and clover
>>53325056
>Not seeding torrents
>Paying for music
>An app for a website
Truly cancer.
>>53325107
>waiting like a fag for a 3 gb torrent to finish downloading instead of watching the shit instantly
>not using the modded .apk and getting all the based features without paying a dime
>implying the thread watcher feature is available on the desktop website
lurk moar anon
HN reader, Clover, Gmail, banking app
And some apps for my business like Twitter, Analytics and AdSense
What went wrong?
People got romanticized by the medium-to-high income level of the computer world and every kid between the ages of 14-19 has been told their whole life that they are great with computers (mostly because their whole family is shit at them) and that they should do something with computers for money.
People also think it's easier than it is because they've only ever had to manage their own private computer experience or one user at a time.
Money hungry faggots
A generation of people who got told they would be the next bill gates because they knew how to operate a computer.
The default photo viewing program (it's actually a modern application crap) - instead of zooming in/out with the mouse wheel IT SCROLLS THE PHOTO UP AND DOWN which is extremely idiotic. I uninstalled that piece of garbage and now my default and only image viewer is Paint.
PANJEEET, WHAT THE FUCK HAVE YOU DONE!!???
use XnView or Honeyview instead or whatever you like best
>>53324887
So get the old one.
