I'm so sorry. I've disgraced myself and failed my civic duty to treat AMD fairly and with respect.
I'll go buy an RX 480 and commit suicide by inhaling fumes from my burning PCIe slot right away.

My bag carrying my asus laptop fell from my shoulder and when I took it out it later at college, it gave out a weird sound which eventually went away when I shook it a little. I bought it in September.
Now I could get it repaired but should I wipe it before handing it over to the people who repair it? Is it risky? I've downloaded a lot of memes and anime pictures from this site and it would be dangerous in the wrong hands right?

Discord gave people what they wanted:
Gratis software to chat with their friends (voice and text) in superior audio quality compared to Skype without the need to setup or rent a server. It even has meme friendly features and chat commands. It became the 'app' the cool kids use.

Discord is the Overwatch of VOIP programs. Keeps normies/retards at bay, so all you have to do to not deal with them is use a superior program.

>>59233097
Seek out the seminars and workshops with the fewest participants.
They tend to be the most interesting.
My most fun workshop had 3 participants, plus the PhD researcher.

What is the equivalent to this in terms of sound quality, huge storage, price and most importantly, battery life?
I've had mine for about 10 years now, and it has served me great, but it's starting to give out. Only half the HDD is able to read/write now, battery life has decreased significantly but other than that still plays tunes like noones business.
I could get another 120 Classic, but they're much more expensive since getting discontinued. So what should I be looking at for a good quality, long battery life portable music player?

Mine's been with me since high school, which was well over 15 years ago. Fucker's still ticking along pleasantly.
I had issues with it years back where it would randomly shut off, the entire HDD would wipe and I'd lose my music, the computer wouldn't recognise it and I had the battery issue too. That's probably cause by having shit music on there around that time, because I don't have any of these problems any more.

I hate almost all software. It’s unnecessary and complicated at almost every layer. At best I can congratulate someone for quickly and simply solving a problem on top of the shit that they are given. The only software that I like is one that I can easily understand and solves my problems. The amount of complexity I’m willing to tolerate is proportional to the size of the problem being solved.
In the past year I think I have finally come to understand the ideals of Unix: file descriptors and processes orchestrated with C. It’s a beautiful idea. This is not however what we interact with. The complexity was not contained. Instead I deal with DBus and /usr/lib and Boost and ioctls and SMF and signals and volatile variables and prototypal inheritance and C99FEATURES_ and dpkg and autoconf.
Those of us who build on top of these systems are adding to the complexity. Not only do you have to understand $LD_LIBRARY_PATH to make your system work but now you have to understand $NODE_PATH too - there’s my little addition to the complexity you must now know! The users - the one who just want to see a webpage - don’t care. They don’t care how we organize /usr, they don’t care about zombie processes, they don’t care about bash tab completion, they don’t care if zlib is dynamically linked or statically linked to Node. There will come a point where the accumulated complexity of our existing systems is greater than the complexity of creating a new one. When that happens all of this shit will be trashed. We can flush boost and glib and autoconf down the toilet and never think of them again.

AMD's John Taylor had this to say:
"As we presented at Ryzen Tech Day, we are supporting 300+ developer kits with game development studios to optimize current and future game releases for the all-new Ryzen CPU. We are on track for 1000+ developer systems in 2017. For example, Bethesda at GDC yesterday announced its strategic relationship with AMD to optimize for Ryzen CPUs, primarily through Vulkan low-level API optimizations, for a new generation of games, DLC and VR experiences.
Oxide Games also provided a public statement today on the significant performance uplift observed when optimizing for the 8-core, 16-thread Ryzen 7 CPU design - optimizations not yet reflected in Ashes of the Singularity benchmarking. Creative Assembly, developers of the Total War series, made a similar statement today related to upcoming Ryzen optimizations.
CPU benchmarking deficits to the competition in certain games at 1080p resolution can be attributed to the development and optimization of the game uniquely to Intel platforms - until now. Even without optimizations in place, Ryzen delivers high, smooth frame rates on all "CPU-bound" games, as well as overall smooth frame rates and great experiences in GPU-bound gaming and VR. With developers taking advantage of Ryzen architecture and the extra cores and threads, we expect benchmarks to only get better, and enable Ryzen excel at next generation gaming experiences as well.
Game performance will be optimized for Ryzen and continue to improve from at-launch frame rate scores."

Two game developers also chimed in.
Oxide Games, creators of the Nitrous game engine that powers Ashes of the Singularity:
"Oxide games is incredibly excited with what we are seeing from the Ryzen CPU. Using our Nitrous game engine, we are working to scale our existing and future game title performance to take full advantage of Ryzen and its 8-core, 16-thread architecture, and the results thus far are impressive. These optimizations are not yet available for Ryzen benchmarking. However, expect updates soon to enhance the performance of games like Ashes of the Singularity on Ryzen CPUs, as well as our future game releases." - Brad Wardell, CEO Stardock and Oxide
And Creative Assembly, the creators of the Total War Series and, more recently, Halo Wars 2:
"Creative Assembly is committed to reviewing and optimizing its games on the all-new Ryzen CPU. While current third-party testing doesn't reflect this yet, our joint optimization program with AMD means that we are looking at options to deliver performance optimization updates in the future to provide better performance on Ryzen CPUs moving forward.

I wonder if their shill partner companies like Oxide optimize for 8 cores, or they force 8 cores, meaning if they are slower than doing what they do at the GPU level but make it so that it must use 99 cores so they make AMD look good.

I fail to see how Ryzen 1700/1800 is bad for gaming. We have seen 1080p review from Joker with ultra settings where Ryzen 3.9Ghz was on par with Intel's i7 7700K 5Ghz, using freaking GTX1080, but people said that top of the line GPU is bottlenecking, and it did... But it is exactly a real word example of what people would do. Hell, most of GTX1080 users will probably use higher resolution even where difference in FPS will be literally negligible. Some people will say "but muh future CPU bottleneck will arrive sooner with Ryzen if i purchase a much faster GPU than GTX1080, which wont bottleneck at 1080p anymore, because 720p test shows that the game logic is slower on AMD side!" Lets be real here. What are chances we get something THAT much faster than GTX1080 any time soon? What are chances that you will still play on 1080p resolution with that freaking new GPU? What are chances that AMD wont benefit in the future from so much coars and its new architecture compared to current Intel's lead in non-GPU bottlenecked situations? Pretty fucking slim. "Ryzen is bad for gaming" meme makes no sense to me.
