Computer monitor - curved or 144hz?
Curved seems great for immersion.
Is 144hz pointless if you don't play twitch shooters?
144hz monitors are good outside of gaming if you set them to 120hz.
>>61396679
How so?
>>61396848
Frame sync, 120 is a perfect multiple of both 24 and 30 so all standard videos will play perfectly unlike 60hz and 24fps video.

Just fucking tell me if I should wait for the 2018 model. Pic related.
I have a mid-2010 maxed-out Macbook Pro as my primary computer, and a Gentoo home server for my linux/programming shit. The macbook is getting old, falling apart a bit, and I really wanna keep iMessage. But the 2017 model went full USB-Ctard and I'm not sure it'll get any better.
Thoughts?

Apple wont push for something as retarded as that until they figure out a way to have proper tactile feedback on a touchscreen.
>>61396450
I don't literally think that it'll be all-touchscreen. I'm just wondering if they'll do anything smarter r.e the ports. Like bring back magsafe or at least give me one USB-A port. Otherwise I may as well switch now

I'm so fucking tired of Windows 10's metro shit UI. Is there any way to run GNOME3 on Windows?
Switching to Linux isn't an option. I am dual-booting Arch Linux, but I find myself rebooting back to Microshaft land very often since Linux wont satisfy my needs even with Wine.
Any ideas? :( :( :(

Yeah fuck you too man.

only problem with newpipe is that you can't subscribe to channels but skytube takes care of that. together its a thousand times better than the official app
>>61396281
>you can't subscribe to channels but skytube takes care of that.
Newpipe will get that eventually. Skytube has comments, too. If they were merged into one project, it would be feature complete. Newpipe has way more useful features, though.
Go advertise your shitty app somewhere else

Why aren't board manufactures pushing mATX as the defecto form factor?
>>61396156
They follow the market, not the other way around. Most people buy ATX cases.
>>61396156
They can cram more flashy gamer trash you don't need on an ATX board.

C or C++?
Best avaliable tools?
Good newsletter sites?
Pajeet free area?
>>61396152
>C or C++?
Depends on a bunch of factors. Is the entire standard library available? Is it running an OS? What is the ROM size?
>Best avaliable tools?
Depends on the architecture.
>Good newsletter sites?
Depends on the field.
>Pajeet free area?
No, and it's also usually a lot less paid.
>>61396559
Best languages to avoid getting outsourced to pajeets/chinks?
>>61396152
C, shitty salary in compare to java/c#, ide's like its 1998 again, usually its not possible to reuse code in further project because projects are specific. from time to time you will have to use debug on hardware level so basic shit like oscillator and electronic knowledge is must have.
Hey there /g/! What do you think is the current best midrange GPU one can get fro a price point of between $200 and $350 USD right now?
This is of course easy as last I checked this is the most popular range for consumer graphics card...so obviously there are zero issues finding many many great choices at this price range!
So what's your favorite currently available mid range gpu /g/?
:^) let's have a fun discussion!:^)
>>61396111
Sneak into a minerfag's shed and steal one of his GPUs. He probably won't even notice for a week.
780 ti -$120 (basically a 970 but costing less)
980 -$200
980 ti -$280
>>61396111
the best midrange gpu that can run modern titles is the integrated graphics controller that comes in a good quality cpu.

Will phones ever replace laptops and desktops?
No. There will always be a market for bigger, more powerful machines.
No. Phones and lap-/desktops will become the common ancestors of a new generation of devices.
This should be obvious if you think about it. "Phones?" As in the dinosaur of technology that is traditional telephony? I think we're all going to be surprised how swiftly that gets replaced in our lifetimes. With it will go the devices, too. Phones are not long for this world.
>>61395612
Phones will be much more popular. But Desktops and laptops will still be around.
What fits best with an asp.net core backend?
please tell me how to into asp.net. I have been taking courses at Launchcode but I cant get into it as much as python(raspberry pi) and html(building a fancy website).
what should I do/learn to get into it?
>>61395177
Visual Studio is the best IDE for asp.net.
>>61395117
