Its Saturday, why the fuck are you still staring at a screen?

What else would I be doing?
Because on Friday I bought the Acer Predator Z35.
>>52954625
oh what should I go out to spend my money?
So let me get this straight:
AMD is selling this exact same card (HD 7970) since 2013, but just renames it every year. Even worse, the new cards are 7970s with disables chips.
So the brand new high end AMD 300 series cards are just gimped 7970s. 380x is based on the Tonga GPU (found in the 285) but with more CUs enabled, which is only 256-bit compared to the Tahiti chip found in the 280x/7970, which is 384-bit.
Why do AMD fags eat this up and buy new AMD cards? Are they just confused by the rebranding?
>>52954426
This is b8
Go look up how GPU/CPU binning works idiot.
Manufactures don't want to spend money researching lower end/mid tier cards or building an architecture thats more efficient, so they do it less often, plus AMD doesn't make as much off of low and midtier cards. Hence why they do some tweaks and just rebrand it.
Bus width does not usually matter. Look at nvidia.
Also, AMD cards are much faster due to thier computation power.
>>52954426
>Meanwhile the rebranded 390x is trading blows with 980 in some benchmarks.
Both NVIDIA and AMD have always been doing this. Its nothing new. Did you really think they throw away all their tech and start over for every new card they bring out?

As a guy that has been using Spotify for almost 7 years now, give me one good reason to switch to google music.
>>52954157
Seamless integration with Android
I have both. I use spotify for my ps4 and google play music for everything else.
I prefer the gpm web UI and the app.
But the most important feature why I'm using gpm all the time is, that I can upload 50000 for free into my library.
Their radio stations are top notch, much better than Spotify or pandora. It's easier to discover new music.
How would /g/ rate music codecs in 2016. Specifically for daily use, not for archival. For example, the following formats seem relevant:
- mp3
- aac
- opus
- vorbis
Please also include your preferred bitrates.
256 kbps VBR V0 .mp3 a best
I got my library mostly in 320/256/V0/192.
Why is MP3 still a thing? It's beat by other formats in all areas
>Least efficient
>Not free
>AAC is already widely used commercially for non-music

A researcher in Russia has made more than 48 million journal articles - almost every single peer-reviewed paper every published - freely available online. And she's now refusing to shut the site down, despite a court injunction and a lawsuit from Elsevier, one of the world's biggest publishers.
For those of you who aren't already using it, the site in question is Sci-Hub, and it's sort of like a Pirate Bay of the science world. It was established in 2011 by neuroscientist Alexandra Elbakyan, who was frustrated that she couldn't...

Can post more details if anyone is interested.
Any gentoomen know how to set up an archive/server of all available files so we can p2p share them before it's taken down?
Pretty awesome. Paywalls on journals kinda sucks. Sometimes you can get some through the uni ... Sometimes

>Comcast, AT&T, and some other smaller internet providers either test data caps or have them in active use, and this week CenturyLink — home to just over 6 million broadband providers — said that it's looking into using data caps, too. "Our competition is using metered plans today," said Stewart Ewing, CenturyLink's chief financial officer, during an earnings call this week. "And we think it's an area we have to explore and consider." Ewing added that CenturyLink intends to start trials, likely later this year.

What the fuck is wrong with that bird?
>I fell for the QuadHD meme
hold me /g/
can you help the other retards by telling the rest of us how you were so gullible as to buy into that horse shit? i felt like every time this came up we were abundantly clear that it was a retarded feature to splurge for.
>>52952912
There is NO need for a QuadHD screen, it is literally impossible with the naked eye to see the difference with a 1080 screen.
All it does is drain charge from your battery and money from your wallet.
Be advised.

i didn't cae that much about the screen as I cared about the rest of the phone. I have a lg g4 btw

Who cares, it's just a Chrome clone that doesn't look as shitty. The only worthwhile thing the company still does is Opera Turbo.

What is the best word processor /g/?
MS Word

This.
Openoffice, Libreoffice, Google Docs can all go home. MS is the clear winner.

- huge support
- industry standard
- cheap (the online version is free of charge and students get a discount)

Mars is nothing. It's practically like the moon. Now Venus, thats an achievement. The Venera probe managed to survive long enough to send pics back from hell.
