But it is totally worthless except that one bitcoin then was literally not even 2 seconds of your time while a bitcoin now is 1000 ameribux

Grad student and fellow LiGNUx friend here. What do other /g/entoomen use for writing footnoted multilingual research papers, thesis drafts and the like? Right now I'm digging Write! for organizational shit and brainstorming, then I transition to LibreOffice to put everything completely together. I kinda miss OmniOutliner from my OS X days, but those are long, long gone. Anyway, how do you get your research done?

Fun fact:
I could order the parts for this build off eBay for $86.48 and end up with an extra 2GB RAM and a spare Athlon 64 3000+.
>>
My first self built pc had an i7-5820k, 16gb ram and a 760. Before that I lived in an apartment so not enough space. I used laptops.

The fuck? Did you live in a closet or something? If you have room for a fridge then you have room for a desktop.
THEY FINALLY DID IT!
Why continue supporting the money grubbing shills at intel anymore?
I got my Sandy i5 when it was clear Intel had left AMD in the dust and its been a beast for a long time but everyone can agree that after Sandy Bridge intel stopped caring about CPUs. Even now at 4.6 Ghz i can match single threaded performance of their newest i5 (at stock) 6 YEARS LATER.... That's an eternity in tech. That GTX 580 was released 2 months prior... Look at how far GPUs have come in that time.
BF1 has proven too much for my I5 to handle and i'm in need of an upgrade and there are literally NO reason at all to go for an intel CPU now that AMD has RYZEN.

Intel are still in the lead in terms of IPC and i don't give a shit about having 16 cores when nothing i run takes advantage of more than 4.

What are the best C/C++ IDEs? I'm on Linux so I'd prefer to refrain from using Visual Studio, but I'll virtualize it if there's really no other option.
Until now I've just been using vim, but when the projects get thousands of lines long, even before touching up documentation, it leaves things to be desired (most notably the dropdown on class methods and function signatures).
So what do you guys use? NetBeans? Eclipse? Code::Blocks?

Didn't they only move like 10k units last year including holidays.
I don't think I have ever seen anyone even using the demo units in BestBuy and I live in a major metropolitan area.

Let me ask you a question /g/
On what type of device do you spend the most amount of time? What caters best to your lifestyle?
I have always been a desktop sort of person myself. I like to keep a powerful unit at home and less-powerful device with me on the go for class or usage while commuting.

desktop
i hate everything about laptops and only use them if i need to
>>
>>59158221
now that i have my own place, i havent turned on my laptop, which sucks cause its less than a year old and i paid 1.3k for it. id only use it when i travel, which is rarely, and i have a surface pro gen1 for that anyway.
that i normally use to play eroge in the bathroom.
>>
>>59158319
Funny that you mention that. I actually just ended up moving into my own place this year and am reconsidering my computer situation. I use a gen1 sp for class and general use outside of home (8hrs outside of the house give-or-take) and I have a desktop at home for work/play.
However, I am considering giving my desktop to my girlfriend (whom I live with) and getting something new for myself.
What laptop did you splurge on?

Post your component list, rate other anons', and ask questions in general.
Always state the purpose of your PC, your budget, AND YOUR COUNTRY if outside the USA.
If you are asking for improvements, clarify whether you want to lower price or to improve specs or build quality.

Okay, apparently no one knows about this (or they are just autistic about bad advice others gave them with their builds), so I'll shed the light:
AM4 first launched with "Bristol Ridge" in September 2016.
These were laptop chips basically. Only sold to OEMS.
The high end chip, the A12-9800, is about 2x the CPU performance of a Q6600. Not near Skylake or Ivy Bridge, but perfectly capable
The GPU performance on the chip is about 25% better than the $150 A10-7890k
And you can get an entire system with these AM4 motherboards, ready for a Ryzen 5, Ryzen 3, or Raven Ridge upgrade, with a B350 motherboard, for little more than the cost of windows+hd+ram+case+psu. Which makes the A12-9800 and motherboard you're getting, that can run any game acceptably, only $50 of the cost. Cheaper than an A10-7890k is, let alone the better Bristol Ridge that's only sold to OEMs.
It's a system that's at least around 70% equivalent to the shit $900 builds people post in /pcbg/, but for under $400 and Ryzen upgrade ready.
Just search google for A12-9800 or another Bristol Ridge APU
Full list of processors to google is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_Accelerated_Processing_Unit_microprocessors#.22Bristol_Ridge.22_.282016.2C_28_nm.29
Any of those will have an AM4 motherboard and is good enough to play any game, albeit on low settings.
Don't get an "E" as those are the low power laptop models.

He is making a new thread for the stuff he has been spamming on pcbg for a while.
I don't mind, though, it's actually pretty solid advice if you can take it.
>>
>>59158097
Because dumb people skim over it and keep posting their shit value $900 builds with an RX470 while complaining that they don't have enough money for something better when those poor people could get 70% the performance for 1/3rd the money and have an upgrade path for a high end PC for cheap with a little patience at the same time.
Buy a $350 refurbished AM4 PC
Then, with the $650 left over you can get a $129 Ryzen 3 when it comes and still have enough money left over for a 1080 when their price drops, or the upcoming Vega, instead of having a RX470/1050 and a 6400 that's roughly equivalent to the Ryzen 3 that just isn't out yet. Or you can wait longer, since you have a machine that can play all the games you want for a year, and wait for 1080s to further go on sale, or RX580s to go on sale, or whatever.
People in /pcbg/ seem to just want people to tell them whatever they want to hear and don't actually want good advice on how to affordably make a future-proof computer. They've already decided they want an EoL 4thread Skylake on an EoL socket and to build it themselves (even though wrecking a refurbished PC is just like building it yourself)
