Have you seen a site that's so militant against adblockers? It feels like everyday I had to update my filters.
I just ended up disabling JS for it and now it's much better.
>>60223336
so many sites are now doing this, it's really fucking annoying
whatever i will never turn off my adblocker. especially on this site, toxic amount of ads here and everywhere else.
I started using sankaku complex, gelbooru really went down the shitter.

sankaku forces you to log in to browse more than 25 pages
There's been a GIMP alternative this whole time and no one said anything?
go be furry somewhere else
never heard of it. is it actually any better than gimp or nah?
It's not a GIMP alternative. It's a Photoshop alternative if all you use Photoshop for is digital painting.
What's the maximum number of tabs you'll keep open at once. If I stop being able to read the titles I'll close some. Fuck not being able to read titles on my tabs.
Why limit yourself?
And you can make the tabs go into more than one row so they all show at the same time.
Pretty self explanatory innit
I dunno, maybe 10 or so on a good night of shitposting

Current CPUs informations:
>G4560 for budget builds (<$500) unless G4620/i3-7100 is heavily discounted
>i3 are only worthwhile for dwarf fortress & single-purpose emulator boxes
>i5 aren't worthwhile. Get Ryzen 5, drop down to G4560, or up to R7/i7
>R5 1400 is not worthwhile unless discounted
>i7-7700k is good but bad value. If over budget, an R5 is probably as good or better for you
>R7/Xeon for compute/multitask/mixed use, R5 if on budget.
Currently worthwhile GFX cards:
>RX570, RX480(if cheap & not blower), RX580, 1080, 1080TI
>RX570 is usually all you need for 1080p@60hz
>RX550 & RX560 are worth considering if you just need 6 monitor support for cheap and/or play low end shit
>1060 & 1070 are worth considering if you already have a Gsync monitor. 1050Ti is for mITX builds or if on sale at ~$100
>Nvidia GPU + Ryzen has issues in some specific games atm (Civ6, RoTR, Rocket League)
>Budget builds: consider integrated graphics over a card weaker than RX560
>May for Vega
General:
>No brand/model loyalty. Parametric filters on pcpartpicker can help
>Consider larger SSD-only for what you budget SSD+HDD combined. Add HDD later once needed
>NVMe aren't for faster OS boot. They're primarily for productivity as a scratch disk
>Stop fucking confusing any M.2 drive with NVMe. M.2 is a form factor
>mATX can often save cost as the board+case is usually cheaper
>1 DIMM is significantly slower than 2 DIMMs
I like the new OP info a lot better than how we had it a couple months back.

you can always edit it by making the thread yourself, that's what i did two threads ago to add a few more informations
But the poor thing is at the damn character limits, you can add two lines at best
This thread has been on an AMD trip lately. They've made it seem like ryzen is only one or two percent behind intel in gaming, and over 200% better in everything else, and 6 months from now all games will be ryzen optimized and run 200% better in gaming than intel as well.
Now while that's plausible it's unlikely. It's more or less the same story as bulldozer/FX. Back then everyone was on this huge "8 cores is the future! In 1 year it'll beat all intel in gaming because games will start using all 8 cores!" etc etc..
Basically it's possible ryzen will pull massively ahead in gaming, but it's extremely unlikely. The current get of consoles have been 8 cores and have been out for nearly 3 years now iirc, and games still rarely use more than 2-4 cores. Some games (like BF1) do use the CPU very well, and ryzen has a very slight lead over the 7700k in BF1, but imo that's about the extent of what we'll ever see. In well optimized games ryzen might do 20% better, but for the majority of the games the 7700k will still have a lead.
It's all speculation, but there is some precedent.
Ryzen is the choice right now if you want to do anything workbench and such related (rendering, editing, encryption, etc), but intel is still the better gaming choice, which is what most people here care about.
And it's worth noting that it's not like the 7700k suddenly became a bad CPU like people make it out. It's still extremely good at all of those things, so it's not like if you buy it suddenly you won't be able to render or stream shit.
TL;DR; Because of the hype lately, it's been made out like the 7700k isn't worth getting anymore, and ryzen will "mature" and get exponentially better. For right now, this isn't true and the 7700k is still very very powerful, even if some people would have you believe otherwise.

What is the easiest way to get the latest photoshop version as a broke student?
>>60220781
install gentoo
>>60220781
You can't "get" the latest version, as it's a "service" rather than a "product".

Keep the white one with your white keyboard.
Take the black one to work, most likely they have black Dell or Lenovo keyboards.
Will Coffee Lake 6 Cores be on LGA1151? Will Intel stay on the same socket, or will they switch one more time?
http://www.strawpoll.me/12896304
>New intel socket 4 months away
>Coffinlake delayed until 2018
It's going on the new socket. 1151 is dead.
>>60218937
breh they're just gonna keep shelling out new sockets so retards have to constantly switch to keep up
im not AYYMD but sometimes i wish i was
>fuck you jewtel
Does it matter? You're gonna have to buy a $300 motherboard anyway to handle the 300W CPU power draw if you can OC the 6 cores to 5.0GHz
