Make sure to buy some rope and stream your suicide on Youtube.
You need me motherfucker, you are nothing without me. Have fun with your open sores gay shit crashing 1 million times a second.
I have my GPU on "Prefer maximum performance" globally, and with GPU acceleration in the browser, it fucks my temps over just when browsing normal websites, and also steals massive GPU RAM if the browser is running while playing games -- sometimes leading to heat issues and crashes...
Turned off GPU acceleration today and the chip is now much cooler and less strained on a daily basis, giving better performance in games.
How much does it actually help browsing? Tried Twitch & Youtube and saw no noticeable difference.
It makes a massive performance difference in anything actually demanding but it doesn't really matter for day to day browsing.
Turn off prefer maximum performance makes much more sense but do what you want.
Also even at maximum performance your GPU shouldn't be overheating and fucking up unless you OC'd it.

>It makes a massive performance
Does it though? I read this piece from 2014 and it concludes that it might not be as consequential as you would think: https://helgeklein.com/blog/2014/12/impact-gpu-acceleration-browser-cpu-usage/
Sometimes it apparently even strains the CPU because it has issues sharing data with the GPU... Admittedly they try it with a shit tier integrated card but still.

What are the odds of my Google account being hacked. My password database (Keepass) is uploaded so I can easily access it on my different devices. I have a paranoia that it will get hacked and by extension my life made increasingly difficult. Please consolidate me.
>>55637902
had some damn pajeet from india try to nab my gmail. I guess it was a good opportunity to change my password.
>>55637918
Yeah I think I'm going to do the same because mine hasn't changed in a while. The next dilemma is deciding a new password. I get mixed responses her about what method to use in choosing a new password.
use 2fa, worry less
worst case would be unknown access,

Consumer grade device when?

I'm guessing never because the IO latency is too high for anything other than massive data vaulting.

Solar energy, pros, cons, facts and debate
>do my homework
>>55637482
Pros:
release from the oil/grid jews
Cons:
chinks produce solar panels, so now you are beholden to them
Still no mass produced panels with efficiency 30% or higher
Silicon based panels create horrendous environment poisoning waste
Only few places have 5-6 hours of peak sunlight per day
Only a few places have seasonal stability for year round peak sunlight during the day
There is no real solution for delivering power on demand for large scale solar farms
Silicon based panels still degrade and steadily lose efficiency
Hey guys I've been running a Z170 FTW for quit a while now and 99% of the startups are completely fine but every once in a great while the bios chip fucks up and I have the use the reset button, does anyone else have this problem?
>>55637471
I have this occasionally with my Gigabyte Z170-UD3. Looks like it gets stuck in a boot loop, then it eventually restarts on its own and boots up fine. A few times I've had to manually shut it down and restart it though.
>>55637785
I always have to

So I am currently going to get an HP chromebook 11 when my college starts, just wondering if there is anything equivalent to the system32 folder that many people have in their pc's?
Dude what
What does buying a Chromebook have to do with the system32 folder?
>>55636494
trollling my m8s to delete the shit, the college gives every student a chromebook 11.
>>55636536
I know there's some sort of equivalent of a terminal and it's based off of Linux, so you could probablyrm -rf /
I remember seeing a much more subtle version of that using numbers, so try that for fooling the more technically adept.

Since upgrading to Windows 10, my iPhone won't connect to iTunes on PC. Now, Windows is offering me to switch to OneDrive - actually this is the only option it is offering me to transfer my photos to computer.
Am I paranoid for not wanting to?
No, but you're already using iOS and windows 10, so you might as well.
>>55636384
>iPhone
>iTunes
Found your problem.
Oh, funny.
The thing is, I really don't see the point for my data to go online before being stored. I just want my freaking photos - I paid good money for this shit. Any suggestions?
Does /g/ know anything about massage recliners?
I think I want one but I don't even know where to start. All the reviews on google are skeezy as fuck and all the sites selling them are even sleazier.
be prepared to drop $2k on anything decent
That's fucking depressing dude
Brookstone has a model that's about $2500.
Look for a zero gravity massage chair if you get one.
Please help I know literally fucking nothing about cameras.
My mom wants a point-and-shoot that's waterproof or at least water resistant, and pretty tough. She's no photographer or tech person - can't even give her a smartphone - so won't be messing with any settings.
What are models to look at? Don't want to spend more than necessary. I don't suppose /CSG/ is any help with still cameras
Xiaomi Yi
Or
GoPro

they have a gear thread similar to the csg bust specifically for camera gear related questions like this. good luck

/g/ told me I could build my home workstation with cheap old xeons and ECC rams. apparently this is the cost.
>>55636083
Which xeons? Some boards support the use of non-ecc ram.
>>55636083
Ecc is for your home nas with zfs, fag. Your workstation should just have plenty of ram

Hey /g/, where's a good place to start if you want to learn how electronics,(more specifically computers, phones and so on) really work?
I just want to understand the basics of software and hardware, how operative systems work, understanding how a motherboard works etc. Any recommended books, educational websites?
I'm a dumbass, don't shoot me.
I didn't really get interested in that facet of it until I took a some digital logic and microprocessors courses with assembly/C at university. Wish I had some better suggestions.
Whatever people give you, I found it was pretty fun playing with emulators of early computers like the DEC PDP-8 that took you really up close and personal to the bare metal in a more interactive way.
There's also tons of simple real hardware you can mess around with to show you the basics of how a CPU really works, I've wanted to play with this one:
