Need some tech advice
Im just starting to get into building computers. I want to upgrade my current computer so I called a local tech place to ask about parts. I've got enough of a budget to do a SSD, a new GTX1070 and I want to upgrade my processor. Here's the question.
You can see my current processor in the pic. I want to upgrade to a i7-4790k. I was told that the old motherboard may or may not be able to handle the switch. Is there a way to test this before purchasing the new chip? if they current board cant handle it does it make more sense to get a whole new board tower etc and start from scratch?
Why would you even need to upgrade if all you have is a 1080p monitor?
>>54914197
er, will I still not get better performance despite it being an older monitor? as I said im brand new to this
>>54914153
All you need to figure out is if your motherboard is compatible. If it is you're set
Explain
>>54914077
Because.

Is Java the new COBOL?
If it's ubiquitous and running mission critical stuff like payroll systems, then perhaps.
>>54914339
It's COBOL all the way down.
>>54914041
Java will never be ran by government databases, no

No because I don't star in one of the worst films ever made.
Why is it that some DIMMs need heatsinks why others don't? Do they just have crap thermals, and what does that say about the quality of those DIMMs in general?
It's just so they can create a design they can market as gamur gear.

Why are gaymers so retarded? Couldn't they be content with ensuring that I can't buy a motherboard that doesn't look like a spaceship?
>Corsair ram is so huge you can’t even fit an aftermarket cpu heatsink

That's what BASIC and Pascal fags said about OOP in the early 90s
Java is Pajeet: the language
So the native resolution for this 14inch laptop (ThinkPad) is 1920x1080.
This is way too fucking high. Text looks like a font size 6 in print.
So I turn it down to 1600x900 and a few others and everything's blurry.
How can I have a sharp/crisp image without everything being so tiny?
>>54913653
Set back the 1920x1080 and adjust the interface scaling (high DPI) options. In your case ~125% should be fine.
Use larger fonts?
>>54913683
But there isn't a global setting for this. I can make Chrome zoom in 150%, and increase font size in terminal to 20px etc. but what about everything else?

>Computers running Mac OS X or Linux are not immune to malware such as trojan horses or computer viruses.
>However, there is less malware in circulation for these operating systems because malware must be designed for a particular operating system, and Microsoft Windows is more common.[261]
Is this true? I thought it was because Linux is generally safer due to better admin/user system, package managers with trusted sources, free/open software and the generally more tech-savvy userbase. Similiar reasoning for Mac, I guess minus the open software, but they have the apple store with trusted programs
Yes I think so
>>54913620
>I guess minus the open software
You guess wrong
Lets just all agree this is the best phone to be manufactured ever. Period.

Why the fuck can't Netflix when in fullscreen stay above the taskbar if Chrome is active on another screen? Fucking infuriating.

Kill yourself my man
Chrome's HTML5 fullscreen implementation is shit, that's why
Your opinion about this movie?
I like it, sure the representation of computers and hacking was all over the place but it was a fun movie nonetheless.
And Jolie was fucking hot.
>>54913527
>hot chick
>handsome guy
>a nigger
only the long-haired guy seems somewhat realistic just not fat enough
Sadly the most realistic hacker movie to date.
Also it's the first film that made me realize I wanted to impregnate a female human (Angelina Jolie).
What are the major differences between the Define R5 and S? Which one is newer? And which would you buy? I'm trying to decide which one to go with.
Also not sure if I want windowed or not.
Just look at them, and decide yourself based on what you need and want stupid, don't ask neckbeards with autistic preferences anything ever
>>54913444
Define R5 is for hard drives.
Define S is designed for water cooling.
