How come nobody has made a smartphone where the ports are on top instead of on the bottom? It would be easier to use while charging.

My job sucks.

At work I have to deal with incompetent strutting 'team leader' who seems obsessed with being a 'team leader' rather than getting the job done. The company founder/owner shows up only once a week. The only 2 competent people in my office are completely checked out. They show up on time, do the minimum amount of work and spend the rest of the days browsing leddit. If anything goes wrong they will fix it in 5 minutes then go back to browsing lebbit. They both seem like shells, like their soul was sucked out or something. I have meetings every day 4 times a day, once when I come to work, once before lunch, once in the afternoon and once before I leave. 2 hours of day wasted on completely useless BS. 50% of my coworkers are pajeets that stink and only talk to each other and stare at the female employees. Every year we get interns and they are always females or various color that can't do anything. When I ask the team if we should do something about our shitty codebase they just say nah and go back to browsing lebbit.

I have a dream of starting my own business, making my own app, or making my own computer game and I have started 10s of projects but never finished any of them.

One of the other competent guys I have met quit 3 years ago, started his own business and now he has a villa and a model GF.

Am I destined to be another soulless drone in the 'corporate world'?

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

State the PURPOSE of your PC & BUDGET. State COUNTRY if not USA.
List GAMES/SOFTWARE you use often. List resolution & hz if gaming.
Seeking build improvements? Clarify goal: lower price or improved specs?
Put effort into your queries to make yourself easy to help.

>Assemble your parts list with price comparisons & compatibility filter.
https://pcpartpicker.com

>Information on how to assemble a PC, select components & more. (somewhat outdated)
https://wiki.installgentoo.com/index.php/Build_a_PC

Currently worthwhile CPUs:
>G4560 for budget builds (<$500) unless G4620/i3-6100 is heavily discounted
>i3 & i5 aren't worthwhile. Get Ryzen 5, drop down to G4560, or up to i7
>No R5 1400 unless discounted
>i7-7700k is good but pricey. If over budget: consider locked 7700; not chasing 4.8Ghz+ capable when you weren't gonna overclock, or get R5
>Cheap Z270 board is still good for faster memory in games w/ locked 7700, but aren't for overclocking (VRMs suck)
>R7/Xeon for compute/multitask/mixed use

Currently worthwhile GFX cards:
>RX470 8GB, RX480 8GB, 1070, 1080, 1080TI
>1060 is worth considering over a 480 if same/cheaper in your country, or you just play games it's better on for the price. 1050Ti is for mITX builds
>Nvidia GPU + Ryzen has issues in DX12/Vulkan currently
>Budget builds: consider integrated graphics over a card weaker than an RX470, unless another's price/performance is better (ie discounted/used)
>Vega comes in May

General:
>Don't feel bound to a specific brand/model. Parametric filters on pcpartpicker can help
>Consider SSD-only for what you budgeted on SSD+HDD combined. Add HDD later once needed
>NVMe aren't worth it just for faster OS boot. They're primarily for productivity as a scratch disk
>Save money w/ mATX case/mobo, and if patient by purchasing your parts individually in flash sales

>Robert Taylor, who was instrumental in creating the internet and the modern personal computer, has died. He was 85.

>Taylor, who had Parkinson’s disease, died on Thursday at his home in the San Francisco peninsula community of Woodside, his son, Kurt Taylor, told the Los Angeles Times and the New York Times.

>“Any way you look at it, from kick-starting the internet to launching the personal computer revolution, Bob Taylor was a key architect of our modern world,” Leslie Berlin, a historian at the Stanford University Silicon Valley Archives project, told the New York Times.

>In 1961, Taylor was a project manager for Nasa when he directed funding to Douglas Engelbart at the Stanford Research Institute, who helped develop the modern computer mouse.

>Taylor was working for the Pentagon’s Advanced Research Projects Agency (Arpa) in 1966 when he shepherded the creation of a single computer network to link Arpa-sponsored researchers at companies and institutions around the country.
