What does /g/ do for its living room game/media machines?
I've been looking at steam machines lately and their slim form factor is appealing for living room use (plus they're windows-free), but all prebuilt steam machines are pretty much ripoffs in terms of the hardware you get, so I've been looking at building a steam machine of my own.
Only problem is that slim settop/console-like boxes are a real minority in the case market. Are there are any cases that look good sitting next to a bunch of sleek home theater electronics, yet can comfortably house a decent CPU + GPU (at least GTX 970/R380)?
Furthermore, what's the viability of designing + manufacturing a slim settop-like case that's designed to house the graphics card via a right-angle riser, so the card lays flat? Would that totally fuck cooling or could it be workable?
There are literally shitloads of sff htpc cases on the market.

But most aren't designed to work with graphics cards that aren't weak low-profile junk, and an increasing number of made for NUC boards e.g. no discrete graphics at all
>>51829748
For my room. I literally just connect my laptop to monitor. And play my file.
Bought a GTX 770 for 170 quid. Did I do good /g/?
>>51829499
where the fuck did you get 170 squids? any why would someone want to trade a graphics card for them?
>>51829499
you fucked up badly, you can get a R9 380 or GTX960 for less than that
>>51829499
got some bad news for you
OOP is the logical conclusion to programming. Prove me wrong.

Only a true redditor shill would mention that hellhole in an unrelated thread.
I just installed Windows 10 on my PC
What is some essential software I should install
Gentoo
>>51829333
Windows 95, 98, 2000, XP, 7, or 8/8.1.
Windows 10 remover tool
What do you think about Scala, /g/?
It is Java++.
gateway drug to functional programming, or a replacement for Java in the enterprise world? Marketable skill? I don't know.
But I'm having fun reading Functional Programming in Scala
It's shit
It's really great IMO. Interop with other JVM-based stuff is great and the verbose nature of Java doesn't really carry over at all.
I need to switch to Linux. I once more want increased control over my system again. I just received a Windows 10 update on my T420, and while I was enjoying it before, it totally messed up the drivers and settings really leaving a bitter taste in my mouth. I know that it's important to stick to the Gentoo Wiki and I'm open to learning, but in my experience when I did run Linux distributions like Debian, Fedora and Ubuntu I still noticed quite a bit of instability and even the system refusing to boot while I was just trying to get the same everyday tasks done as I would've on Windows. (Mainly browsing, watching movies on the big screen with a DisplayPort adapter, music or text editing.)
Are there any stable, up-to-date distros out there that I'm missing and don't really take that long to set up? I'd still like to be able to customize things to my liking though.
/g/ is not my personal blog... ):
>>51829219
>I once more
>again
Kinda high right now, sorry guys.
Debian
>>51829219
Just use Mint anon. You can expand out to Arch, etc. afterwards from there.
p old/bad, right?
>>51829192
For basic tasks it's just fine.
I used to QTGMC deinterlace and x264 10 bit encode 1080p on an X2 5200+, and yours is 50% faster than that.
>>51829192
Mine is a little bit better.
>>51829301
Not really. His destroys yours single-threaded. Yours is only slightly faster if all 4 cores are loaded.
How's Game Maker /g/?
Probably the best game development framework.
if it was good enough for undertale, it's good enough for your crappy game idea
it holds every asset in RAM
which means a NES tier game like undertale still has moderate system requirements
not like it matters in 2015 but its just bad design
I have my CCNP Route exam in a month
Any advice?
Pass it
>>51829102
give up, kid
fail it
How were operating systems of old phones written? Pure asm? C with asm? Is source code available anywhere?
hardware specific assembly code
Something like pic related, pretty sure C (with some ASM of course for kernel etc)
Always C or some higher level languages. No one writes anything remotely big in pure assembly. That's what compilers are for.
These function names suck, therefore C sucks.
string and then a shorthand of the function, how much easier could it get?
>>51828841
He's probably an object orientated programmer.
>>51828841
Did you mean to type "wrote str then had a stroke at the keyboard"?
Why is it so popular?
Is it the Windows XP of languages?
Because it's an easy beginner language.
>>51828778
It has to be more than that if 4 TRILLION DEVICES USE JAVA

This fucking meme has to die.

For home theater addicts, just check the new plex and forget kodi and other shits.
It uses mpv as internal player and that's truly awesome.

i used to like mpv, but now seeing the direction changes it's taking i don't trust it any more.
i've not bothered to install it on my new box, and don't plan to either.

What do you mean?

>Win10 update comes that acts as a whole new install and keeps the old Windows install
>he's now asking me why his drive only has 10mb
>he already tried disk clean up but he didn't know it's under system files to clean previous install which is 30 fucking gigs
Why is Microsoft so incompetent? I wish they didn't have a goddamn monopoly on games because OS X at least doesn't have this bullshit. Vulkan please save us.
Also fuck them they changed all my default programs.
Ah yet another reason to stay on win 7. Thanks op
>>51828324
>120GB
>2005+10
It's your fault for building a computer with a third world tier storage size.
why don't you remove the old install?
I've upgraded on a 120GB SSD too and had not a single problem with it.
Are they actually gay? This is a serious question. They constantly make gay jokes and flirt with each other, I really think there's a little more than just 'friendship' going on between them.
>>51828257
Linus is married with children, so it's literally impossible for him to be gay. Sorry to burst your bubble.
Luke is a fucking retard. I don't understand why so many people like him.
>>51828257
Yes they are gay. Everything points to this. Just because he is married doesn't mean shit. He is probably bi and wants children so he married an ugly, rich chink, but still bottoms for Luke like a good little faggot.
