How does one achieve the best overall video playback on Windows these days? Is MPC-HC still king? Are there certain filters that are particularly great or is it pretty much as good as it gets out of the box?

>Tabs vs Spaces
Silicon Valley had tabs vs spaces topic
Is there objectively one better than another?
Any stats on whats more popular?
I am a space guy for some reason
and I think they portraied use of spaces wrong
I use spaces, but I actually press tab to get them
I thought this was common approach
but the show portrayed the girl - the spaces user
as someone who press space four times...

How do you feel when people you like use Windows?

this tbqh family
The only people I know IRL who use Linux are all insufferable faggots
What is your take on this method?
Hotter drive temps (no fans blowing at them directly) or cooler (away from hot air)?
>>54945554
better put them inside a cage and have a fan blowing from beneath
Heat rises
>>54945554
I have to case too. My drive temps went up a couple degrees, but nothing major desu. The airflow in the front is worth the trade off for sure.
How come this software isn't available for Windows? How do they expect real engineers to use it?
They even have a Mac (lol) and android version... wtf

Gee.
I have tried several Apple products till this day. I have tried two iPhones, an iPad, a MacBook Pro, an iPod Touch.
However, I have also tried an HP laptop, several Android Phones from various brands (well 2 Samsungs (an S4 and a Galaxy 5), an LG Optimus 4X HD and a Sony Ericsson Xperia X8).
My Android phones and HP Pavilion Dv6 with Beats Audio is more cheaper than the Apple products I have used (as a matter of fact, I have used them deeply (which involves jailbreaking)).
In my humble opinion, the Android phones and my PC is more capable of doing much...

When you have money and you know that all your friends have apple, you risk alienating yourself from your social circle by using a phone that only poor people use.

It's a combination of fashion and this fascinating consumer trend of the "prosumers." The former is self-explanatory but I'll summarize the latter: people are increasingly discontent with buying things appropriate for their means and use. It's not acceptable to buy something inexpensive with modest performance that suits your needs. You need to buy a $2000 DSLR to take family photos in your kitchen. You need to get a car with touchscreen climate control and the off-road suspension package to drive to work. And you need to pay out the nose for design and hardware features on an Apple product you use only to browse Facebook.
It's not unique to Apple, mind you, but this shit really amazes me. People are fucking DYING to pay a premium for use of "pro" stuff.
I'll begin.

>adversely affect the performance
They're not lying when they say it affects performance.
They just don't mention that adblock improves performance.
>you live in a time when adblocking will become illegal at some point and SJWs are more and more aggressive with their anti-adlock campaign every year
Is bypassing this using anti-adblock killer scripts illegal?
How does /g/ transport their laptop?
I have a 15.6" Lenovo Y510p which is pretty fucking bulky for a standard size laptop.
It struggles to fit it into most cases designed for 15.6" laptops,
and I've had problems with straps and handles breaking in the past due to the weight of it when combined with the power brick and accessories.
I'm looking for a backpack like pic related, ignore the Crysis 2 shit, I just like the design.
Anyone got any recommendations?
>>54945363
Why anyone would want to own a heavy laptop and carry it around is beyond me.

>not carrying a workstation ipad mini air
>>54945413
The weight isn't something I considered when buying it.
2.9 kilograms does seem like a lot for a laptop now that I see it on the spec sheet though.
How do I advertise my app if its complete and utter bullshit?
>>54945350
use a ton of buzzwords and marketing gimmicks
flashy landing page urging people to use/download/buy it
don't actually say what it does
Make it free
>>54945517
what do you mean by marekting gimmicks?
Im already using lots of buzzwords but it doesnt seem to make any difference
A gtx 980 gets around 36 fps in the Ashes of the Singularity dx12 benchmark at crazy settings 1080p (the same settings for AMD’s benchmark they showed at the rx 480 reveal).

btw if you're confused by the apparent discrepancies between my image and my post, high settings are not crazy settings. It goes high -> extreme -> crazy.
Thats still a lot of assumptions given we know GCN 4 is different to GCN 2 in many ways (the extent of these differences is unknown).
Too bad no other benchmarks yet.
I don't even care about this game, I just want to know if polaris will be a good mid range so I can justify not buying nvidia stuff.
Time will tell.
Dicking stations thread
Love them? Hate them? Who makes the best ones?
>>54945333
nice tribs
dock 2503.
The company that makes the actual laptop usually ends up making the best one for a given laptop, stupid.

When will the meme end
>wants to move entire PayPal infrastructure from UNIX to Windows

ITT we laugh at Elon Musk:
>Musk was later ousted from his role as CEO due to disagreements with other company leadership, notably over his desire to move PayPal's Unix-based infrastructure to Microsoft Windows.
Why is this guy suddenly a "tech genius"? He's a living meme.

X1 Carbon vs XPS 13 vs Surface Book

Why is Tmobile so based and the only decent carrier in NA?

t-mobile is cheap as fuck in the US for a reason: they have no coverage outside major cities

They're cheap because so many people are subscribed to them that their profit per person doesn't have to be has pricey has their 'petitors, pleb.
