What is /g's opinion on the GTX 2000 series GPU lineup?
>implying that it is actually called the 2000 series
Honestly don't understand though, due to their release schedule it should come out very soon. Not years, but months. I mean I have a GTX 950, and I want to upgrade to a GTX 2050 when it comes out, you know? I just really, really want that upgrade. As it'll be the most my CPU can handle without a bottleneck, and it'll be a affordable solution for my computer for another few years.
>Implying that it would be as powerful as a GTX 1060 with low power draw and no 6 pin connectors. A mini card.
also to whatever faggot tells me to get an AMD card, fuck you. I ain't making my computer a toaster oven with the high power draw of a RX 580 (Same power as a GTX 1060). It's an ITX build and a card of that size is too big anyways. Got that 400 watt PSU feel me?
Also, when I said
>Same power as a GTX 1060
I didn't mean that it had the same power draw, as the RX 580 actually has MORE. I was trying to say that it had the same performance as the 1060 with more power draw and more heat.
you should get Vega instead.
>>62093432
knew someone would say it. lmao.
am physical nvidia fanboy. Will never switch off my high power and reliable temps.
I've had some AMD products through my gaming life starting at 2006, had the first one gigabyte card they made, I believe. It burnt out within the first month as it was brand new, sent it back to the company and they gave me a new one. Three months later it burnt out.
Then in 2014, I got a build with an FX-8320. That also overheated with great airflow and a reliable build. It stayed at the temp of around 80 degrees max. Somehow that temp melted the pins into my motherboard.
Will never get AMD again. Pinless Intel processors and ice cold ASUS Geforce cards for me for life.

It became a botnet.
Because it's shit? The software is bloated, the ads are garbage, and it's horribly invasive.
The microsoft takeover really accelerated this process. I mean the first thing they did is turn it from a p2p service to a centralised server service so they could intercept all your communications to sell you targeted ads (and of course to make sure you weren't a white nationalist)
This thread is about the appreciation of horology, as well as the micro-engineering and materials engineering that are required to make a fine watch, clock, or other timepiece.

That is data cabling, low voltage. Also, pretty much the best way to run it (could have cleaned it up a little though)

Hey... is my Resume ok /g/?
Is 42k alright?
42k is shit. Your resume is good experience wise and qualification wise, but damn is it cluttered and messy. Remove "also served as the computer specialist" it looks weird. What the fuck is up with the alignment of the words college and helpdesk and other words?
>>62091569
Just realized that was censoring. Disregard that.

You want to unbind a depreciated LUN on a VNX 5400, and remove the storage group. Unisphere says there are still clients attached, when the LUN shows no initiators. Name two ways you can confirm and / or remove stale clients.
Should Android do something about the ease of updating their os? Atm it looks horrible only 1,2% of all android phones uses the most new available Android 7.1 and 86,5% of all Android phones have 2 years or older Android.
Definitely issues with OEMs taking forever needs to be fixed. No excuse for my S8+ to still be on 7.0, let me put it that way.
its a fragmented system and its pretty much fucked.
>>62091432
>>62091462
Most funny thing is that 5 years old update is still 2x more used than 7.1. Does it even get security patches anymore?

Why do your parents do this?
>>62091162
Cause their neet's with too much time on their hands. They have nothing, in which, makes them feel self-worth, so they spend more time fixing their shitty Linux distro's then actually using them.
Go the fuck back to /v/ you faggot, this is a technology board. We don't give a fuck about how many fps your video games get.

At what temperature will a hard drive melt so that its data is completely unrecoverable? I need to know for science.
9001°K
>>62090938
A healthy amount of lead at decent speed is enough to make hard disk data unrecoverable.
>>62090938
Uh, seagate claims that 60c is max temp there drives can take. so anything past 60c and your shorting the life of the drive, dunno about WD's take on it.
