What went wrong?
Their market share was like 99%, everybody were thinking that no-one could ever make a better media player. when Apple invented iTunes, people were laughing at Apple saying nobody would ever use that memory hungry bloated shit and pay for DRM raped songs when they could download mp3's for free and play them in glorious winamp
meanwhile today, there are people browsing this board that has never even used it and most normies have never even heard of it
>>62100290
Streaming killed it. Shoutcast was ass
AOL bought them and never did anything with it.
A bloated upgrade happened
IIRC, also lacked support for some codecs
What's your torrent setup like?
Do you use RSS/feeds?
Automatic subtitle retrieval?
Feel like I'm doing lots of things manually lika schmuck

How to assemble a PC, select components & more (outdated)
https://wiki.installgentoo.com/index.php?title=Build_a_PC
CPUs:
No i5 unless discounted
>G4560 - poverty-tier builds
>R3 1200 - Budget builds (<$500)
>R3 1300x - Good stop-gap between the 1500x and the 1200, only get a 1400 if you absolutely need multithreading
>R5 1500x - Good but up to 1600 if you can
>R5 1600 - Best value for higher fps gaming / mixed usage; 1600x if you want higher stock clocks
>R7/Used Xeon/Threadripper - Compute/Multitask/VM/mixed use; Not for just gaming
GPUs:
Coin miners have driven price up and stock down, waiting to buy a GPU might be wiser
>Integrated CPU Graphics - Desktop stuff and very light games
>GTX 1050(Ti) - Lower end budget cards, drop settings on newer games, RX560 beaten by both
>RX570 - 1080p@60~hz maxed, running most maxed older games at 100~Hz
>RX580 and GTX1060 6GB - 1080p@80hz maxed, 1440p@60hz at lower settings; RX580 better in newer games
>GTX 1070 or Vega 56 - 1080p@130hz /1440p@60hz at high
>GTX 1080 - 1080p@144hz / 1440p@60hz maxed, 4k@60hz in a few games; Probably the highest end card you need for 1080p/1440p
>GTX 1080Ti - 1440p@144hz and 4k@60hz maxed/high in many games
>Good fucking luck even getting a VEGA right now
RAM:
>Check your Mobo QVL before buying any RAM
>Ryzen CPUs benefits a lot from high speed RAM
General:
ALWAYS LOOK AT PRODUCT REVIEWS!
Always consider an SSD. Try buying a large SSD for what you'd pay for your SSD+HDD combined, and add a HDD later
NVMe SSDs aren't for a faster OS boot, they're for productivity/scratch disk/VMs. NVMe and M.2 are not the same thing, M.2 is a form factor
First for Vega a poo and ryzen based
Best mobo for ryzen 1600x? I need 6 sata and 8 usb ports.

WHEN WILL THIS END?!
>>62095267
I've slowly been trying to use other browsers.
They all just suck so fucking much, but so does firefox now too.
Main reason was because I recently built an older pc with only 2gb of ram, just for random tasks.
Firefox are up every single fucking mb of ram for a few tabs.
Installed chrome for now, and while it eats less ram, I still hate it.
Palemoon
Ebin!
>>62095289
Why not use something like Waterfox or Palemoin or Icecat?

What Case are you using right now?
What Case would you rather be using?
What Case have you used in the past that you have fond memories of?
>>62088390
DEFINE R5
what is better case?
one of these little guys, cooler master elite 110
its ok, i like that it takes a full ATX PSU and has room for a 120mm radiator. Also having mounting spots for 4 3.5" drives shoved in there is pretty cool, even if i only use two 2.5" ones
Id rather be using something even smaller mitx, with a pico PSU or something, but those get really expensive and this was like 20 bucks.
I dont have fond memories of any previous cases, i had a Zalman ZM-T1 that was flimsy and lacked proper venting, a Sugo SG-11b that was a poorly made piece of shit that was not worth its price tag, and i used an old Thinkcenter as a case once and that really wasnt much better.
>>62088403
I do have to say that is a pretty sweet case
Welcome to /retro/! Share anything you find old and share what you personally own.
I found some neat stuff at the junk shop today, an ASUS 486 board in its original box and a bunch of SyQuest stuff
I don't know much about SyQuest, if anyone does, I'm interested in learning more about it.
Looks to be a tape drive system, my tapes look to have been used in a Mac, the last tape is dated for 1999
>>62085676
Theres always cool stuff there, if I had more cash to spend on dumb old computer shit, I would fill my truck with floppies
Checked out this Epson another anon was interested in last time I posted this place, had to move a 60 pound filing cabinet full of 5.25" disks, but sadly its corroded very extensively, if I had my screwdriver with me I would've opened it up to see the parts inside, but from the rust all over the back and on the card ports its all probably toast
