Hi /g/. I currently got rid of all the furniture in my room bar my bed. I currently have a PC, magazines, books, a few games and three monitors lying on the floor.
This is a golden opportunity for /g/ to come together and design the perfect room. Money is no worry.
I'm a programmer and like minimalism. I'll need everything from wallpaper, flooring, lighting, desks, chairs etc. literally everything inside a room. Please help me design a totally awesome room /g/.
My PC is the holy grail of my room and so I'd want a decent desk etc to go with it. I was thinking things from IKEA.. but there must be better out there somewhere?
if that's your room it looks good, if it isn't, post a picture of your fucking room.
>>45383967
That's a random picture from the Internet. Here's a picture of my room. It's about 6m x 6m (britfag).
Well, you definitely need a shelf, I'll assume that's all the space your room has pretty much, I'd get rid of some books but if you need them then the first thing you need to do is put a BIG shelf in there and set it against that wall also to hide that crappy looking stuff on the corner and some posters because I can't stand that fucking wall color. get rid of the flag or at least put it somewhere else. Get a black shelf and that desk is ugly but if you're gonna keep it it will combine better with your desk and tower.
Might as well ask since didn´t even find offers for these but:
Intel® Core™ i5-4210M (3MB Caché, 3.20 GHz?)

$1311, is it worth it?

this one looks nice too:(although don´t know if as fiable as 6540 as is a new model and can´t see the difference)

We don't.
Delusional people are psychiatrists' clients.
How well does a X200s perform in 2014?
Tempted to buy one for internet/1080p films/music
Is the ULV CPU utter shit?
What kind of battery life can I expect under Windows or Linux?
I want that.
I use one with Linux. I don't use a bloated desktop system and use it for batch downloading, light browsing, etc.
I get 5 hours of battery life with a knockoff 9 cell
You sound like a faggot, so you probably won't like it.
>>45387171
Well the resolution is shit so it's pointless to get 1080p films instead of 720p ones. Colors are also washed out, this is coming from a guy who has been using shitty panels for ages but these laptops just stand out. Performance is good if you're a programmer, if you do any 3D graphics programming then don't bother, Intel keeps their APIs at low versions.
The x220 is currently the best in that world.
Hey /g/, I'm slowly raising up money for a high-end build I'm gonna keep at lest for 4-5 years.
I want it to last, if it's necessary, I don't mind spending a bit.
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/CDjWP6
It would be basically
>Case: Fractal Design Define XL R2
After a Micro ATX shenanigans, now I want a full one. And this one looks good. I'm tired of the Obsidian style.
>Corsair RM1000
I currently have a RM850 in my system. I don't want to savage it firstly because I need to sell the whole rig to a friend and secondly I heard multiple times of the gpu (see below) shitting itself with less than 1000w. So yeah.
>Mobo: Gigabyte GAX99BlahBlah
One of the cheapest X99, seems good enough, I don't want gaymen shit and seems to do the job.
>CPU: Intel Core i7 5930K
High-End CPU, 5960X is overkill and stupid and the 5820k doesn't justify the other system parts imho, so a good in between sounds good enough. The more PCI-E lanes will future-proof me for upgrades on the VGA side.
>Ram: Crucial Ballistix Sport 2* 2x4GB 2400Mhz DDR4.
Aside from being the cheapest I could find, doesn't look like a huge ass clunky piece of plastic and seems to do the job well.
>VGA: Sapphire Radeon R9 295X2
Currently the best graphics card available without going into full autism with Titan Z.
>b-but m-muh 970 sli
I can find a R9 295x for 100€ less than a pair of 970. And this card blows the 970 away anyways.
>b-but amd housefire
Dual AIO water loop + dedicated 120 for the vram + benchs shows that this card runs cooler than my current gtx 670. So yeah, shitty memes not allowed here.
>HDD + SSD
Already have them in my system. 3TB Nas-tier HDD + 2* 512GB SSD for fast accessing stuff and OS.
>Burner
>Burner
And that's about it really. I want to play any game I want however I want for at least three years. If the R9 295X2 runs dry I can still get a good kickback by reselling it and perhaps I'll get the R9 395x2 in the future or something.
Any tips? Ideas? Also uh general build/guts thread I guess.

hey /g/, recently i was available for an upgrade on at&t and i've decided to get a new phone.I'm coming from an iPhone 4 and it's done me well, even when it got slow during the end i jail broke it and i still love it. I've narrowed it down to two phones, the galaxy note 4 and the Google nexus 6, what does /g/ recommend?
Moto G :^)
>>45387439
OnePlus One
>>45387439
Nexus 6 if you want a pure Android experience. I'm not really biased toward one another. Both are good options.
Nothing new will be invented.
Computers won't get faster or better. They've been stuck for 10 years at the same resolution screens and same processing ability.
The same shit technology is being recycled and sold back to you as new over and over again.
>>45388828
it's the jews, man. just don't spend fucking money in the same old shit and the market must innovate to be relevant
Huh? I don't remember having a mobile device with 2 gigs of ram 10 years ago.
>>45388828
>acts like the change between 480p and 1080p happened overnight
Those of you with 64 GB microSD cards in their phones: do you even make use of the majority of that space?
Does anyone on here actually have 64 GB of music/media?
I have that much in my tablet. I use a 16gb card on my phone for music.
>>45386509
I have a 32 GB class 10. Lots of photos and an episode or two to watch. A few gigs of music.

Reminder: If you are using anything other than RHEL, CentOS, or Fedora then you shouldn't be using Linux at all.
>>45388569
For professional use I agree
however as much as I hate ubuntu
It's the best distro for noobs
reminder: if you're shitposting about linux on /g/, you should probably install gentoo
>>45388569
Using Fedora LXDE.

I see anons running home servers off rasp pis or slightly more powerful equipment, and then there are the Xeons with 16gb RAM.
I'd like to build redundant storage with some hard drives. I'd like to have a portion that I could access over the Internet, and if possible maybe also have a portion that isn't accessible to this. At minimum I'd want to be able to access it at home from tiny hard drive laptop.
It'd be cool to be able to stream music or video off it, but if I'd have to transfer any files I wanted to use instead, that wouldn't be the worst.
tldr Could an anon help me understand, what would be the big differences between the server capabilities of a a) Rasp Pi/BeagleBone, b) old laptop, c) basic new build, d) pretty nice new build
You can do RAID over USB but it's a bad idea and most single boards have slow ethernet. You'd be better off searching fleabay for old server hardware. You don't really need a super fast CPU. 8GB+ RAM is a good idea if you want to use ZFS file system. Software RAID is probably good enough, but if you can find hardware built into a motherboard or a cheap controller card that would be the best. You could access the machine via ssh. Most NAS distributions have super easy to set up media streaming.
>>45378641
tl;dr more mhz = more throughput
protip: get everything set up and ready in a virtual machine first before you let the chinese botnets rape your shit
Thanks. I'd figured I'd want a box over anything tiny or old.
It sounds like other than old server hardware, this project would be basically a logical increments minus the graphics card, and maybe with diminishing returns getting heavy somewhere between the Good and Superb builds.
I haven't decided on RAID vs ZFS yet, or which distro to set it up with.
That will be fun to learn on the security side too. Or maybe stupid to go to the effort of redundant storage and then possibly expose it like that. I've seen fail2ban mentioned too.

Name one reason for not purchasing this Godlike machine.
I could build one for less; and I don't want to force myself into Apple's ecosystem.
What would I do with it, shitpost on /g/?
It's a workstation, and idiots like you don't need them to shitpost on 4chan.
Am I the only one here who hates fags who obsess over their 500gb collection of horribly shitty hipster music?
They reject absolute god-tier phones because they can't store their gigantic shipload of shite music in lossless form because of no SD card slot, pic related.
If you are indeed that obsessed with your shite music, you would get a separate music player for it.

So /g/ I bought this today from a fucking grocery store (Smiths/Kroger).
It was $9.99 + tax.
I know it's a really bad Chinese CDMAids phone locked to fucking "Kroger i-Wireless" but like...
I'm just amazed what this thing is capable of for $9, not as a phone but just a device itself.
Here are the Specs:
Qualcomm Snapdragon dual-core 1.2GHz
Adreno 305
512MB of RAM
4in 800x480 LCD
2mp camera with LED flash
Notification LED.
MicroSD card slot.
Anyways It's just awesome to me you can buy something for $9 and be able to browse the web and watch YouTube and listen to music and shit on it.
Like a fucking homeless guy could buy this to look at CP on it or whatever.
put cp on it and give it to a homeless guy
