Why?
>>55037886
Why not?
>>55037886
oh and I'm listening to a remix of the song, before you rip me apart for being 12 or whatever.
>>55037892
yes
Do they have a reason to still exist?
Can you build a PC that has comparable capabilities for the same or cheaper price?
Is that like asking for a car more fuel efficient and cheaper than a tricycle?

No because the consoles are approaching the threshold where their graphics performance will cost so much that it would be dubious to buy one. Originally consoles were far cheaper than computers to game on but as each generation of consoles were made that gap was getting smaller and smaller. The future consoles (NX and Neo) have such bleeding edge tech they will cost too much for a casual gamer to use the excuse "it's cheaper" when they cost as much as a high end GPU.

Is this supposed to be a joke with the show Person Of Interest
What's so great about displayport anyways? I've heard a lot of talk about it lately. I only used VGA and DVI after composite, saving my consoles which were HDMI, so I've never had any interactions with it. I hear it's required for the new sync stuff on the monitors? Haven't changed mine since 2010 or so.
>>55037057
It's free as in freedom.
>>55037074
So are most ports not found on apple devices though.
>>55037057
High bandwidth without the latency of HDMI, daisy-chaining, etc.
Comment with ideas for how to better improve the infrastructure and functionality of the weirdest bundle of human thought ever.
Possible starting points:
>More use of Human intelligence tasks in place of overbearing advertising (meh difficulty to create easy to use API for quick implmentation?)
>Creation of a sort of psuedononymous web visa that lets you use services without needing to create accounts but without putting your data in the hands of an increasingly powerful Google/Alphabet or Facebook and theoretically funded by telling advertisers what you'd actually like to see (Sort of like what you can do with Gmail, fairly difficult)
>Turn the web into a series of enclosed bubbles via increased use of mesh nets with end to end encryption between them and within their own intranets to increase difficulty of dragnet surveillance (Very difficult)
wtf do I know though?
>>55036963
you should talk more about the third option
Heh just stick with html5 kiddo
We should add a mandatory IQ test to post on websites.
I think OpenID might be close to what you're looking for in number 2.
Number 3 is almost any darknet.
why does my VPN connection turn to shit when I have uTorrent downloading? as soon as I close the program, everything works fine. when I'm downloading a torrent, all speeds (including the torrent speed) drop to ~5kbps.
OK, looks like uTorrent is shit, so I'm gonna try qBittorrent
>>55036883
Your VPN could be throttling torrenting.
>>55037020
I thought that at first, so I tried different connections throughout the U.S. and europe - same result

Hey /g/ Pleb mongoloid Win 10 user here.
Whats /g/'s opinion on a Lenovo ThinkPad T430?
I was interested in becoming a master race Thinkpad fag.
>>55036791
its a meme
>>55036791
>master race
>T430
>not T420
Great, the shittest ThinkPad you can buy with the shit trackpad
Get a T420 for the proper trackpad, plus it'll cost less
I know nothing about this and I'm just clicking the buttons.
I want to compile PCem, but I don't know what to do and where to click.

How do I bluetooth PS3 audio to my PC so that I can listen to it from my headphones? Pls help, I can't find anything online and PS3 bluetooth doesn't find my laptop which is also sending signals. Windows 10 btw.
>>55036297
Going from pc to headphones is easier.
>>55036359
I want to send the audio from the PS3 to the PC. But Ps3 bluetooth can't find my pc? Idk what I'm doing wrong.
>>55036381
Make your pc discoverable.
What's /g/'s opinion on crossfired Fury Xs?
An anon on /g/ said that there have been report of CF stuttering on games, but it seems that all of them have cleared up through updated drivers (based off AMD's logs)
I understand the immediate downside of running 2 cards but are there else that I need to know? Fury X specifically too.
>>55036203
take this to /sqt/. Not being mean but you'll probably get more answers.
But to give a short gist, xfire scaling is almost 70% more performance if the game supports it. The fury/Fury X on its own (as in only 1 card) had shown occasional stuttering because of how HBM1 ram doesn't downclock properly and overall instability of HBM1 as a whole. This seems hit and miss though as quality control normally is.
>>55036269
I'll make sure to do that next time.
And yeah ive seen desu stuttering issue myself with my current fury x. Though honestly 70% more performance seem quite appealing for the price of it.
>>55036316
that's assuming the game fully supports xfire. This isn't even an SLI vs xfire thing either. Hands down SLI scales worse than xfire, but 90% of titles out there now just don't bother with multi-GPU support anymore. We're soon approaching the ability to drive a 4K panel off of a single GPU. Why make drivers for 2+ cards anymore? Just look at Nvidia. To get proper 3/4 way SLI drivers, you have to contact them.
Hey /g/. How about a break from the seemingly never ending

and we discuss what you're doing. Now. Yesterday. Just 10 minutes ago that you started and are contemplating finishing. Anything tech related. Scripts? Cool. Programming project? What's it do? New PC build? Great! Specs? (no tech support, go to /sqt/ REEE). I'

Currently ripping a bunch of new movies I bought on Blu-ray at FYE today. They had a buy 2 get 3rd free deal so I got
>Entire Hunger game series
>Entire Hobit series
>Entire Lord of the Ring series
>Entire Avatar: The last air bender series
For $67. DRM is huge topic of discussion and did you know they do that shit in blu-rays too? A disc that can only hold 55gb of stuff somehow has 190 entries of the same "29.0GB" file. Turns out they're the same file, compressed like mad, and have all the movie scenes scrambled to prevent ripping. (Even legal copy owners!) Pic related.
So cmon /g/. If it's even remotely tech related, post it. Shit, talk about anything you find interesting in tech. This "brand war" garbage is getting stale.

Hello,
Looking to go deeper than my usual internet browsing and I'm hoping I can get some VPN recommendations on top of any other suggestions. Not a stranger to internet security or computers in general, just wondering what works best for you guys. Thanks!
>>55035897
>Hi I'm looking to hide my traffic, what do you guys use?
See? That was much easier. Personally, I don't have anything super sensitive I'm moving over the network when not at home so the most VPN I have is my personal PC. Set it up for VPN use and when on public wifi, (coffee shop, University) I connect to my home PC.
>>55036015
How do do I setup a VPN like that? I can't find any tutorial, everything is taking about Android apps and Hotspot Shield.
>>55035897
You're insecure.
I paid $20 for the Marvo FN-30 cooling pad. Do cooling pads work as good as the vacuum fans that attach to the vents?
>Cooling pads
Granted mine isn't an informed judgment, as i've never used nor have i ever given much thought to the physics of its operation, but i always dismissed cooling pads as being nothing more than an easy money meme accessory sold to gullible customers. I have literally never had any issues with overheating laptops.
>>55035818
I don't know what "vacuum fans that attach to the vents" are, but regarding cooling pads:
>It depends on the air intake design of your laptop (some laptops don't take air from the bottom)
>They can take down ~5°C from the maximum temperature
>Their main benefit is that they provide a steady flow of fresh air
If you place a laptop on a flat desk, the desk will heat up over time. Because the air intake is very close to the desk the air it takes is already heated up from the hot desk. This causes the internal temperatures to rise as well.
>Another benefit of a cooling pad is that it can also lower idle temperatures meaning the internal fan won't kick in as often possibly never on some laptops depending on their configuration.
>Last but not least a cooling pad provides an upgrade in ergonomics, raising the screen higher, closer to the eye level.
>>55035818
>Cooling pad
As long as you laptop isn't an ancient dust relic or a gaymun laptop, you don't need one.
