I went to the OC forums and Tom's hardware looking for an answer to this, and both threads ended up arguing about it with no clear answer.
So I ask you /g/,
Does a 1000w PSU draw more than required to power a PC?
and if not,
Is a 1000w PSU more efficient?
>Is a 1000w PSU more efficient?
Depends. Different PSU have different efficiency in different wattage ranges
>Does a 1000w PSU draw more than required to power a PC?
No. It doesn't draw 1000w if your CPU needs 450w, if that's what your asking.
Doesn't matter.
A PSU's efficiency changes based on load.
Get the most efficient PSU.
>>52487831
Efficiency is usually best when the PSU is operating close to half of its max rated output, as in pic related.
So if your PC typically draws 500W, a 1000W PSU will have good efficiency. If your PC typically draws 100W, a 1000W PSU will have lower efficiency.

>apps are never up to date with the Play Store
>app seems to always be in Alpha state
Why is this such a piece of shit?
Is it really that hard to make a package manager that isn't complete shit?
No wonder people on /g/ still use the Play Store over this.
>>52487643
there are reasons behind it.
1) you have control over whether or not you want to update the sources
2) Once sources are updated you know what you're getting
3) Apps never being up to date with the play store has nothing to do with f-droid but rather package maintainers

also, 2 minute download time is more like a problem with slow internet connectivity

I have 100MB internet and it takes that long. 3.5MB seems to take 90 seconds to download on this piece of shit.

What kind of fucking retard is still using ABP or one of its forks in 2016? Be a good boy and download uBlock Origin like the ABE dev told you to.
Just switch to uBlock Origin.
Once you get used to the interface, it's great.

Let's talk Fitness Trackers.
Thinking about getting one, lots of people say to get the Fitbit Charge.
Opinions? Better ones or worse ones?

Bump for interest. I hear the MiBand is phenomenal but I want one that also has a screen on it so I can check my stuff without needing to use my phone.
>>52487131
Adding a screen on it cuts battery life by like 90 per cent
Useless over engineering.
Can't wrap my head how I'm supposed to model some things while programming, it happens time and time again.
Latest example I'm trying to make something imdb-ish, put some movies and series, but also would want to be able to divide series into seasons and seasons into episodes. While in a way series and movies are on the same "level"(as if you want to show all the titles you have available), also are the episodes and movies on the same "level"(as if you want to mark something as "watched".
All this while sufficiently generic...

This is a great question that I wish somebody would answer.
>>52486816
It's seems to be more of a statement, rather a question.
Sorry, I've not made it clear, I want to know if there's any material to read about "choosing" how to model things into objects.
Can anyone explain what a triforce tutorial is?

hey /g/, how would i go about writing every single rgb value in pic related in a text file automatically? is there some format that stores data like this?
array obv
You can write a program to do it very easily.
Well that's a JPEG so you're already fucked.
But if you had it as a lossless file, convert it to a BMP and open the image in a hex editor - pic related.
It's relatively easy to suck the pixel data out of a lossless file. BMP is the easiest imo.

What would be a good major that correlates well to his business for college? All I can think of is computer engineering but I'm too stupid for that.
>>52486380
Network engineering
>>52486411
Thanks, I'll look more into it. Hopefully it's nothing as difficult as computer engineering and it isn't similar to CS.
>>52486411
Fuck, so far the two colleges I want to go to don't offer this major. Seems somewhat uncommon.

So what is your opinion on ARM? They can be pretty energy efficient and have crazy strong GPUs which can do 4K at crazy low energy consumption
I expect ARM to expand into ultra low power consumer laptops with OSX & (Maybe) Microsoft within the next few years.
Apple will probably be the first to do this. All they have to do is tweak the A9x or whatever they call it and optimize OSX for ARM.
I'd consider buying something like a macbook with an ARM chip running OSX as a basic portable machine.
The Intel M core or whatever they have in there currently thermal throttles to hell and back anyway.
I can imaging the amazing battery life already.
The obvious contenders for full operating systems on ARM chips are Linux (head start from raspberry pi) and OS X (convergence with iOS). Windows RT was such a disaster that nobody would touch it with a hundred foot pole now.
>>52486188
Don't really like the idea of it superseding x86 and killing the last bit of diversity in consumer and entry/mid-range business hardware but I'm interested in seeing its server and even workstation applications most of all.
