Right, so I'm on a budget and wanna get a gaming PC off the ground. I'm looking at a Pentium G4560. Does anyone have one or have used one? Planning to pair with an RX 570 for ultrawide 1080p gaming.

>retard youtuber gets robbed
>computer gets stolen
>past 5 years of work and upcoming projects were on stolen computer
>makes 10 minute video of him sobbing about how he lost all of his personal pictures and work in progress
>youtube is his primary source of income
>gets $30,000+ donated to him to replace his shit and to "increase his security" (which people have been suggesting means he's going to move houses)

i get people feeling bad for him because he got robbed but why on earth would anyone feel bad that he never backed a single thing up off-site?

youtubers are the fucking worst - if you owned a business and you only had one fucking copy of all of your business' crucial data in one machine and nowhere else, nobody would have any sympathy. if your livelihood is made on the internet/computers and you don't understand basic concepts like backing your shit up off-site, then maybe you deserve the wake up call. i know sometimes its infeasible to back up video files but it's definitely feasible to be backing up your past completed work, your in progress writing/storyboarding, and your fucking family pictures.

the best part is that after all of this, his solution is to move houses. i hope he gets fucking robbed again.

>After an aborted launch attempt at T-1 minute today, SpaceX will be trying again in 24 hours during the backup launch window on May 1st at 07:00 AM EDT (11:00 UTC)

>Live stream will start about 20 minutes before the launch window opens.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzQpkQ1etdA

>This launch will feature an uncommon set of circumstances that should make for a great live stream. The launch will be during daylight, returning to LZ-1 (the ground-based landing pad), and the stream will be uninterrupted during the landing.

>Drone ship landings usually lose signal during the descent because the satellite feed is interrupted by interference, this will not be the case here. This combination of circumstances has only happened once before with the CRS-10 landing a few months ago.

/pcbg/: Post your component list; rate other anons'; ask questions in general.

State the PURPOSE of your PC & BUDGET. State COUNTRY if not USA.

Currently worthwhile CPUs:
>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

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 many games atm
>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

>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

Hello /g/

I know in this day and age mp3-players are anachronistic at best, but since most of them are pretty small they have that advantage.

The old iPod was able to create new playlists, sort by album, artist etc. and play everything from an artist or an album

I'm looking for a preferably modern device that has similar features and has either large internal storage or an SD-card slot.

Is there such a thing today? I once had a Sansa Fuze(the original one) and put Rockbox on it. That made that thing pretty good already but I looked through pic related and all the devices listed under stable ports aren't sold anymore except for the SanDisk stuff.

There have been threads a while ago about some high end meme mp3-players but I forgot the name.

Also mp3-players in generel thread I guess.

This folder is becoming fucking massive.
Is there a way I can automatically get my system to purge the folder whenever I shut my computer off?
Hopefully without making an alias?
