Why ThinkPad? (also applies to other business laptops)
>They’re really cheap when you buy a used one.
>Keyboards feel excellent while typing (yes, even the newer ones).
>Great durability thanks to the inclusion of rollcages and use of glass fiber reinforced plastic for the chassis. The keyboard is splash proof and spilled liquids will drain out.
>Utilitarian design - e.g. indicator LEDs, 7 row keyboard layout on older models.
>Docking solutions that easily turns your laptop into a desktop.
>Easy to repair, upgrade and maintain thanks to readily available service manuals for almost every model. Spare parts are easy and cheap to obtain.
>The best trackpoint (that red thing on the middle of the keyboard). Great for those who type a lot or hate swiping their fingers all over a touchpad.
>Excellent GNU/Linux & *BSD support.

Why are people so fucking afraid of choice?
DDR3 or DDR4?
Higher is better, obviously. The question is how much better. Personally I won't update for a while.

It literally doesn't matter at all unless you have a workload that benefits from faster RAM. Gaymes are not such a workload, unless you're using an APU.

Why aren't you using a decade old dual core?
because I'm using a 5-year old hexa-core
But I am using
Dude only a decade?
15 jear old Athlon XP
I really tried to google it, but I am having a hard time coming up with anything. I read about GVR but I'm not sure if it's discontinued? I don't see anyone talking about it since a few months. I saw they came out with some sort of new codec or whatever it is called VCE, but I don't get exactly how it's meant to be used and if GVR is dead then.
I am planning on building a new PC coming from ancient hadware. I was thinking of getting an AMD GPU, but i was interested in shadowplay. The thing I care for the most is being able to save the last couple minutes of recording without just saving everything all the time and then deleting everything if I don't need it. is there a valid AMD alternative that won't make me take a big hit on FPS? I especially don't want added input lag since I would be playing competitive games.

plays.tv
>>52013846
Nice shitposting attempt, nvidiabot.
AMD Gaming Evolved by Raptr offers Game Video Recording, Replay feature, direct upload on plays.tv and also the possibility to stream on twitch.
>>52013859
Thanks, that looks interesting. You can just save videos on your HDD without uploading them, right?
>>52013921
I am not an nvidiabot, I am just out of the loop and I hear how good shadowplay is and how it takes no resources, but I'm stuck with very old hardware and using OBS which kinda tanks my performance on this piece of shit already, so I was interested in what I could find for AMD. I kept googling for "AMD alternative to shadowplay" and all it came up with was 1 year old threads of people talking about GVR but nothing new as if it had siappeared so I wasn't sure.
Would this be better than the plays.tv client?
Can someone explain to me what's the point of this function?/**
* Normalize data key
*
* Used to transform data key into the necessary
* key format for this set. Used in subclasses
* like \Slim\Http\Headers.
*
* @param string $key The data key
* @return mixed The transformed/normalized data key
*/
protected function normalizeKey($key)
{
return $key;
}
Also, PHP hate thread

can't you read? get a load of this n00b haha
>>52013430
It's clearly a draft, you fgt. Also, fuck php and all the dynamic typing languages that don't offer the option to specify variabls' type at the instantiation. May they all die in a fire.
It may have had a purpose before and was changed and it was easier to change the inside of the function than every place it was called, though the comment should have been updated to match. Or it's a placeholder.
I think Chrome renders fonts in a slighty more ugly and less legible way than Firefox does.
Don't you agree?
>>52013232
For me left side one looks better.
Is it chrome or Firefox ?
>>52013251

This isn't a thread where opinions can't be wrong. Yours is wrong.

If a motherboard has integrated graphics and a PCIe 3.0 x16 slot, can I install a gpu and use that instead of the integrated one?
>>52013082
>If a motherboard has integrated graphics
Please, hang yourself.
YOU SURE CAN BUDDY!
>>52013082
No, you're stuck with the integrated graphics.
>buy g-sync monitor (Dell S2716DG)
>can't tell difference
have I been memed?
You were well memed friend.
Vsync is all you need.
>>52012681
Fuck off no vsync has horrible input lag
But I can't even tell if there is tearing or not.
Sort of meme'd
Freesync is much better, actually working for a start
How would you save AMD, Anon?
>>52012598
By letting them die. It's the only way to save them from endless "How would you save AMD" threads.
1. Keep my FX-8350
2. Won't let Jews make money off me
3. Buy FX-6300s for new budget builds for me or anyone else I build a pc for and 8350s for higer end builds
4. wear my AMD is rockin! t-shirt everywhere I go.
>>52012674
>not buying 8320e's and oc'ing it to 4.5 ghz if needed
skylake i3 rapes the 6300 now, and the 8350 its too expensive for what it is now.
the fx 8320e its the best cpu from amd, fite me.
Does anyone else feel computers gave them ADHD?
>>52012561
Nope. I know for a fact that I got ocd from my use of computers. So nope, not too worried about ADHD.
>>52012561
no

>>52012577
How can you get OCD from computing.

No, toilet paper can't be replaced by tiny screens.

Why does my new internet provider care about torrenting when my old one never did?
And how do I avoid this shit?
>>52011865
>And how do I avoid this shit?
Not torrenting, you retard.
>>52011865
> Not using VPN at all times
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the type of people we share /g/ with.
>>52011891
Like I said, I torrented shit for like 10 years with my old internet provider and they never gave a damn.
