AMD IS FINISHED & BANKRUPT
AMD has been finished since 2013
AMDFAGS ON SUICIDE WATCH
>implying you would want AMD to finish while inside you
r PC
I used this ages ago and hated it, but realised I hadn't given recent versions a fair shot. So to go along with their nice new fancy website, I decided to give it a quick test and make some notes as I went.
Download DMG, opens in regular Finder window rather than the expected branded custom one with shortcut to Applications and drag indicator. Bad start.
“Fonts may take a while”- they sure do. And I switched away, and the splash didn’t reappear when I switched back. Whatever- can't really judge by first start, although you'd think they could cache that stuff at build time.
It opens. It's split into many different windows opened on different monitors. Toolbox and the “main” window opened on my secondary monitor, and a combined Layers and Brushes window opened on the far right of my main one. It seems to choose the leftmost monitor, not the “main” one.
File->Open uses a strange, custom, home-rolled file selector. This is an ABSOLUTE NO NO- there is no reason at all not to use the real one. This is a smack in the face. It’s a terrible dialogue, too- files and folders don’t even have separate icons.
Eventually opens an image window. Neither Shift, Control, Option, or Command work as mouse wheel modifiers to zoom. Eventually find that it’s Ctrl+Command+Wheel by default.
Professional retouching tools are advertised on said site, so I try to heal a spot. There seems to be no equivalent of Photoshop’s “Spot Heal” (where a source is selected automatically), so I select the regular Healing Tool and set a source.
Having placed a source and now adjusting the Size option, the size change is not reflected in the image window until I mouse over it.
Begin healing. It lags severely and unusably, with a near-second delay when dragging and a multi-second delay before the UI is responsive again after the operation. It produces an awful result. The poor result is probably due to my inability to accurately drag due to unresponsiveness.

/g/ is not your personal blog, faggot

To verify I hadn’t simply underestimated the size of the image, I tried in Photoshop. It was completely responsive and finished instantly, with an excellent result.
I try a noise reduction by going to Filters->Enhance->Despeckle. There is no full-image preview, only a tiny window at 100% zoom which is not useful at all. Since it was impossible to accurately set values for the sliders, I instead selected completely arbitrary ones and press apply. It takes many seconds, and it takes several more to repaint the canvas when done. The result is unacceptable, so I undo- it takes several seconds to repaint again.
I try in Photoshop- there’s a full-image real-time preview, it completes in a few seconds, and repaint is instant when I undo.
At this point I gave up and I haven't even touched on some really awful problems yet (e.g the whole save vs export shitheap)
I'm nowhere near a professional graphics artist. I probably use barely 5% of Photoshop's possibilities. I usually just want to heal stuff, remove shitty phone camera noise, mess with colours, crop, save. GIMP can't even do that. It's an absolutely worthless pile of shit.
And Linux users are stuck with this (well, either that or crude emulation of old versions of Photoshop). How do you guys tolerate it? Do you just never need or want to take pictures, of anything, ever?
News flash: gimp sucks ass

Are Kindles the best ereader on the market or is it a meme device?
Why can't it be both?
It's a meme. Just use your phone.
>>51487645
Meme.
Kobos are better.
So, uBlock or uBlock Origin and why?
Origin because it's maintained.
inb4:MemeBlock
>>51487206
plus
Any solid benefit into buying 6700k?
if you're a kek.
no change from haswell to skylake unless youre using iGPU.
>>51487198
Not much, but unless you get a nice discount on the 4970k I'd get the 6700k anyways.
Not really.
Access to DDR4 perhaps.
Should I buy a used Z1 for 120$?
Pic unrelated.
>>51487134
That would be a terrible idea, the z1 was fucking awful
Z1 is not the best phone ever i had it but damn 120$. You wont get any bether then this. It has a pretty good camera and the ui is bretty gud
How does a 7970 crossfire perform?
>>51487112
just get a single fury
>>51487151
$500 on GPU? Um no

Help me with this java problem /g/. Please explain how this prints 5 times:
for (int j=1; j < 10 ; j = j+1 ) {
for (int i = j-2; ++i < j++; j = i+1)
System.out.println("INF1000");
}
>>51487040
>j = j+1j = i+1
j = i+1
j-2
j < 10
why are you writing such a convoluted clusterfuck anon?
>>51487040
Why the fuck don't you write j++?
>>51488260
>>51487192
ask the professor who wrote the test.
Fuck you all.
What's it like living in a socialist utopia?
I'm serious, I'm genuinely envious of how much Norway has got its shit together.
>>51487224
It's nice.

Guys remember the fall of utorrent back then? I do.
Do you think we'll get something similar with FF, before the year ends?
>>51486944
no, certainly nothing THAT bad
>>51487001
oh wow, so much usable space. nothing wasted at all, nope.
Why does 60 fps video ./ video games look so unreal? Like 30fps looks more life like to me for some reason and i can never watch 60fps without noticing this for the whole time. Does is only get more unrealistic with 144hz?
This bait is getting old
Because you're retarded.
>>51486813
That's quite the opposite for me =/
30 fps feels laggy / slow
So TrueCrypt or VeraCrypt?
Truecrypt is deprecated.
Use Bitlocker, as they are the ones who recommended it. It is safe.
>>51486753
Will do NSA.
dm-crypt+LUKS (can even extend with 2FA)
>>51486753
>Bitlocker
Bitlocker is a proprietary cryptographic FDE implementation by M$. We don't have access to the source code, so you blindly trust the corporation to do their crypto right. Bitlocker (among others) even had some vulnerabilities, for example the evil maid attack as Joanna Rutkowska found out: (can't share link, for some reason 4chan thinks it's spam... :/ Just look it up with 'Joanna Rutkowska evil maid attack')
This is called security through obscurity, and it's very dangerous as the security of a cryptographic system should not be guaranteed by not disclosing how it works. Everything about the system should be publicly known, except for the secret key you use, to validate the security and soundness of the system. I'd recommend reading up on Auguste Kerckhoffs' Principle or Claude Shannon's Maxim why this is paramount for all cryptography.
Just installed Gentoo, what wm should I use and why?
Pic unrelated.
Install windows retard
Sawfish, beacuse you need aCOW
>actually installing gentoo
well whaddaya know
Hello guys.
It's time for me to choose a new phone.
History time:
>year 2010 - get the newest iPhone 4
>it's awesome, amazing, great, basically a phone for stupid people to play angry birds
>Starting to dislike the limitations on it. only 0.99 cents and it's yours
>year 2012 - get the Lumia 820
>now this is a phone!
>torrents working smoothly, camera is amazing. Do whatever you want!
>year 2015 - lost Lumia 820, back to iPhone 4... no torrents, but the e-mail system works much much better.
>still has it's iPhone disadvantages but kinda really really like the e-mail system.
So. What phone should I be looking for?
Most of the time I use the phone as a device to e-mail with co-workers and to take pictures. Sometimes need to connect to laptop (no wire), for data management.
Do you have any advice which phone to get?
>pic semi-related
>>51486632
Get another 820?
There's the 950 also if you're willing to get that.
This sh*t thing with Lumia phone - was the e-mail system. did not load 'sent' messages. Only could see messages that were sent from that device.
Also has a huge lack of apps. Not that I care, just at some point, I was like: "well... I can't have this. Microsoft have not done it yet".
Get a last year's android flagship.
I recommend
HTC m8
Xperia z2
Galaxy s5
