spec thread, post your rig.
blog post below.
I started a thread like this some time ago, my cpu temperature was above 100 Celsius when idle. You recommended to open my pc and look around, so I cleaned my pc (the cpu cooler was completely covered in dust) and APPLIED THERMAL PASTE, since the guy who built my pc forgot to apply it. been using this pc for about 4 years with no thermal paste.
surprised my house didn't burn down.
Here's the "before"
Upgraded to this a week or so ago. Before that I've been using hand-me-down toasters because I'm a useless NEET.
It's amazing to click something and not have to wait 2-20 seconds for a response.
What cloud service do you use, /g?
Cumulonimbus
>>55202968
is there some program to sync or manage all your different cloud services?
>>55203032
what's the reason to have more than one cloud?
I mostly work from home as a freelancer and recently started drinking rum with coke after reading about the so called blamer-peak.
After an hour or so I feel so relaxed and at the same time focused, its amazing.
Anyone else does this? What do you drink?

I used to smoke weed whilst programming, but only on hobby projects
I think it's a terrible idea to do it professionally, it's also bad for you
>>55202779
I tried this as well and it works but only if you smoke a very small amount, maybe one or two hits, anything more and I can't focus.
Try doubling the curry seasoning. The extra spice really makes you alert. Have pleasant day.
Looking for advice.

System specs
-amd 8320 black edition
-msi 970 gaming motherboard
-msi r9 390 gpu
-cooler master g650m psu
-16 GB corsair vengeance 1600 ram
I want to maybe sell msi parts when they come back and buy a gigabyte ga 990fx gaming mobo and gigabytes version of the r9 390. I am also looking at an evga 650 watt fully modular psu gold rated, and an aftermarket cooler prolly the evo 212. I also intend to completely reinstall my os.
I read msi makes shitty boards and the 8320s watage is higher than that mobo could handle, my original psu was bronze rated, and it was my mistake to use an amd stick cooler since they can get up too 10000000 degrees under full load.
Should all these changes fix the issue in having?
Probably. It was most likely a faulty PSU.
MSI's quality control isn't the best, Gigabyte is, so you're good picking a gigabyte mobo.
Here's a PSU guide, tier 3 is good enough.
>>55202736
Oh cool the psu I got is in the t1 category.
Went ahead and ordered the parts... Just don't know if it was the psu or the mobo so fuck it replacing both
Are gigabyte vdeo cards good cause right now I don't want msi anywhere near my machine

For AMD, sapphire is better.

This is why you should strive for something more than absolute bottom-tier field tech support.

Unless you're doing it part time to make some extra cash, anon is right. Get out of there. Your average customer is a tech illiterate woman who'll blame you for her fuck ups.
>>55202139
its a small town
We do support for businesses as well, setting up their networks, racks, maintaining servers, backups, cleaning up cryptolockers...
but around here you have like 5 big clients if you are luck, thats enough for decent money and does not make you exhausted from constant putting out fires by some 500 employees
shop repair business is somewhat interesting and somewhat front to get those business customers
Why get an RX 480 when you can just wait until October for Vega?
But anon, that's like a gazillion months away!
Vega is going to be fucking amazing

why not buy RX 480 now and sell it when Vega comes out and buy it?
Hello fellow Anons I've finally come to the obvious realization that Windows is a shit OS mostly because I hardly game anymore.
I've been reading through the wiki and it's been very entertaining reading about how the creation of GNU/Linux emerged from a myriad of flamebaiting personalities like many of the voices on this board. Are there any good documentaries on the boisterous personalities or development of GNU/Linux?
Also I am trying to figure out which distribution to choose for my OS. I don't really game anymore and mostly just plan to code in C++(to contribute to open source projects) and also to troll across the net. Are distributions fundamentally different at a core level or do they just have different packages of software included because that seems like the only differences at the surface.

Most of them are the same/similar at the core (GNU+Linux) but have a different set of default packages, different package managers, different repositories and other stuff

I saw >>55201087 a couple of years ago. Naturally I had no idea what I was watching, but it introduced me to the free and open source software movement. Definitely worth a watch

In ruby, I'm trying to prevent users from adding someone as a friend if either one of them has the other on their ignore list.
In the friendships controller, I'm trying to defineclass FriendshipsController < ApplicationController
before_action :ignored_user, only: :create
Anddef ignored_user
if current_user.foes.include?(@user)
flash[:notice] = "Unable to send friend request."
redirect_to :back
end
end
All of that seems to work except the "if current_user blah blah" line. If I replace it with "if current_user.admin?" then it works exactly as you'd expect. If that user is an admin, they can't send anyone friend requests. If I replace it with "if current_user.id == 2", it also works as you'd expect. I've tried replacing the faulty line with many variations of the above code, including things likeif Disagreement.where(foe_id: [@user, params[:id]], user_id: [current_user, params[:id]]).first
(which works elsewhere, just not here).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have a webpage that includes multiple JSP files. In one of those files, I have a JS function that I want to run after the entire page one of the JSP files is contained within loads. If I use $(document).ready, the code runs when the individual JSP loads and not the whole page. Any ideas on how to work around it?

any books you recommend?
start thinking like pic related. read official manuals for everything you use.
How can I tell if the place I'm staying at has a shitty router, or just shitty service?
See router's specs, watch if the load it is bearing reaches easily its limitations.
It is most likely some people torrenting at the place you are in, install a firewall that handles such a thing

to stop them from torrenting?

soundmagic e10s
i need to replace the e10s soonish because the little grill bit on the tube is falling off too much lately, though I like their sound and feel, considering just getting another pair since i spent enough time getting them to be perfect.
someone recommended
>Xiaomi pistons
from the reviews they seem to lack good isolation and are more bass-y than i'd want
>etymotic mk5
cant find a good review, someone point me to one?
also looking at the Brainwavz M1, any experience with those?
>>55198055
also mc5 vs mk5?
>>55198055
If you like the e10 sound then you probably won't like the MK5 sound.
