Good thread
Why are you buying a CPU designed to be paired with a low end GPU and pairing it with a high end GPU instead? AMD CPU with anything over R7 is retarded, you can't even Crossfire the integrated graphics with it otherwise. It's almost like you have no idea what you're doing.

The guys here on /g/ say a fx 6300 is enough to not bottleneck a 980ti so nice try shill

Sound card thread!
What sound cards are good?
Currentlly have a Xonar DX. Thing FUCKING SUCKS.
>Blasts static at 100% volume for no goddamn reason.
>Right channel randomly goes out requiring restart.
>Issues occur on official, and community drivers.
Just absolutely fucking sick of it, but don't want to buy another card and run into the same issue.

What's your favourite looking or sounding mimetype/file format extension, /g/?
now fourier transform it senpai
.bin
.c
opinions about user interface aside, which would you recommend? particularly concerning performance and stability. I fear since win 7 hit EOL it will degrade over time and I will get no support from M$.
oh sorry I forgot to post this as a troll post
HEY GUYS I FELL FOR THE WINDOWS 10 MEME WHAT SHOULD I DOWNGRADE TO
windows 7 won't hit EOL before 2020, and you can still continue using it beyond then if you have Common Sense installed
Stick with 7. I have 8.1 and it's unusable because of how the mouse pointer jumps all over the place. You can't use it for gaming, you can't use it for creating or styling graphics or anything that requires a steady or precise hand. It's a piece of shit.
What this can actually be? I've had installed the Freedom app, all this in background..
Please give explanation

Do you know what it could send over the internet actually?
So /g/, i saw alot of youtube videos about indian tech support scammers.
Was wondering if any of you have some stories you would like to share?
talking to indian people is boring.
i don't get how people think these youtube vids are "funny". Just a bunch of beta white cucks who get enjoyment from messing with poo.
>>54904464
Nothing interesting, but last time I had Indian tech support (from a girl, Hewlett Packard,) she tried to say I wasn't covered for something I paid for at every opportunity. Probably going Asus for my next laptop. Prolly the same shit there, too, but at least I can pretend I made a difference.
fucktarded room mate (dropped out of college TWICE, both in the minimum time required to be flunked out) finally listened to me and I helped him buy and assemble a decient-tier gaming desktop.
2 FUCKING WEEKS LATER I found out he's getting redirected to www.google.botnetwhatever. Ask him about it and he says
"IT POPPED UP WITH SOMETHING FROM MICROSOFT AND A PHONE NUMBER SO I CALLED IT"
asked him if they walked him through any installation. They did and he complied. He literally fell for the shit only grandparents are supposed to. Raged...

Python or java?
pic not related
>>54904460
Learn both, Java first is a good way to go
Python, because it's easier to work with.
Scala.
I say this having written Python for 8 years now. It's great for small programs; standard libs are extremely versatile; but package/dependency management sucks, I'm start to get sick of dynamic typing, and the 2.7/3.x split is still painful.
Java is a meme perpetrated by millions of companies that are stuck in 1995. Java 8 JUST added anonymous functions. Its type system is still busted.
Scala is the way to go. Runs on the JVM and you can use any Java libs, dependency management with maven or sbt is much better than pip, and the language...

Between the asus e200ha and the lenovo ideapad 100, whats the better model?
Im at the shop now. Kinda need an opinion soon
both shit. get a thinkpad and install gentoo
For that price get a Thinkpad X220. Both the Asus and Lenovo are awful with soldered in memory, awful 2gb of ram and non-removable batteries. These pieces of shit will be dead in a year.
Arch is best!
Arch a cute!

I fell for the Arch/KDE meme last year and never looked back

Sounds like a win.

pic related, my below average pc.
What the fuck? only chrome is running.

Is your heatsink OK? Is your fan or heatsink dusty? Have you replaced your thermal paste recently, and if you did, have you applied it correctly?
Were you using high quality thermal paste?
>>54904173
>below average
>>54904265
I haven't opened my computer for 5 years. I checked inside last week - it was like a snowball. Cleaned up some dust with a fine brush because I dont have canned air. I never actually opened the tray of the CPU or checked if the dude that built my PC even applied thermal paste or hooked up the heat sink correctly.
Does /g/ own a ps4?
What does /g/ think about the ps4k meme?
I'm hoping it's announced at e3 so I can get a cheap ps4 with my uni roommates next term.
>>54904155
i made a good decision of not buying ps4, sticking with my ps3 and i5+7970 pc. if ps4k priced ~300 bucks i might consider it.
Yes, my fucking stupid touch sensitive eject button died out of warranty so I can't trade it in towards the new one, so sony can go eat a bag of dicks.
Also not /g/.
>>54904369
I have a PC with an i7 4770k, this is literally just for weeb shit and console exclusives. The cost would be split 3 ways.
So i bought this piece of shit and i can't get it to work for the life of me.
Whenever i try to use it on sites like Omegle there's just a black screen.
It says on the box that it doesn't need a driver, and it is Win7 compatible.
And the "manual" is goddamn useless, pic related.
Do you guys have any tips?

Send it back moron. Stop buying shit tier shit.

This.
A good webcam is literally like $30
>>54904194
It cost $20, you'd think it would atleast work
Take a screenshot of your computer RIGHT NOW. No editing, cleaning up, closing tabs, etc.
WHAT is on your screen NOW?!

Just finished downgrading from 10. Just need to install my gaymes now.
gpu passthrough.
what are the options an individual has when it comes to gpu passthrough for windows virtualisation? obviously im considering it for games. i know my cpu can handle virtualisation but i have read in some places that you need two gpu and in others that you only need one? is anyone here running this kind of setup?
i would consider using wine but every test on winedb has come out as garbage for the game i play the most..
>>54904056
You do need two display adapters; one to drive your Linux display, and one to pass through to your virtualized Windows display. However, most modern CPUs have integrated graphics processors (which most people choose to use as their Linux display adapter). This is likely why some sources say you only need one graphics card.
Yes you need 2 GPUs.
One for the passthrough Windows machine and one for your host.
>>54904223
so if i run 4 monitors would i be able to have three running off the cpu on linux and 1 off the gpu in windows or would only having one port on the motherboard fuck me?
what does /g/ think about the Ballista Trinity
>>54903970
Good for gaming

I can't stare at that shit for more than a few seconds without my eyes starting to hurt.
