Should I get the MSI B350 PC Mate or King Kits ASUS STRIX B350-F Gaming for my ryzen 7 1700 cpu these boards are both equally expensive and as far as I know is the only difference the fact that one has an nvme slot and the other one has more sata ports. I might want to buy a nvme ssd in the future but I think that this would be too expensive for a long time, the 4 sata ports on the msi mate sounds like enough for most people but I am already using 2 ssd's, and 1 hdd (the ssd's are for windows and linux and the hdd is 2tb mass storage). And I will probably get another ssd for my steam library. This will take away all my sata ports so there is no room left for future expansions. Which motherboard should I buy
MSI has the best b350 VRMs, that's how far my knowledge goes
Get the Strix combo. It not only has the best VRMs, but the VRM heat sinks are huge for superior cooling when you overclock.
M.2 drives are meme on budget systems. Just get some nice VNAND drives from Samsung that are only a little but slower.
And what do you guys think of 8gb ddr4 hyperx fury 2666 MHz, I found a kit for only €77,90

What's on the horizon for graphics cards?
I resisted getting a 1080ti and settled for a RX 480 for the HDR. What will the best significant event for cards be and when is it expected?

What would be the minimal pc requeriments a pc game developer should target to?
depends on the game
>>60946252
top tier C2D with a 750ti or less, 30fps on 720p all low. probably realistic for maximum profit.
C2D with 4GB RAM and a GT 710 GPU or recent IGPU.

Why is this distro so garbage?
It should be Ubuntu LTS + Cinnamon, but it manages to introduce new bugs that are unrelated to Cinnamon

Was wondering if any of you /g/uys tried these amazing Amazon Wickedly Prime Cookies
I'm thinking of buying myself a few orders
>>60945830
enjoy the botnet
use GNU certified Free Open Source Stallman Approved Open Source compiled chocolate: https://github.com/borgodoro/choco/blob/master/vlc.md
or compile pic.
Also install cookie deleter because Amazon will track what you eat

Let's see who can solve this problem, I have been looking around for an answer for awhile.
I have a Samsung S7 with no SIM card and I do everything through WI-FI. The problem is, if there is no WI-FI near me, I'm screwed.
I don't want to have to pay for a 30day data plan with a SIM card. How in the hell can I use this phone when there's no WI-FI spot near me? Is there a SIM card plan that gives you a set amount of data/talk and lasts untill you use it up?
>>60945804
prepaid?
In the US FreedomPop gives you 700MB of AT&T data a month, just gotta buy the SIM and add "freedomfriends" aka other users once. Good if you're not away from Wifi that much. Or you can buy multiple SIMs and just switch them out if you need more than that.
They'll try to get money out of you even if it's labeled "free"; it's required to link a card and you can't delete it. That's why it's recommended to use a gift card (there's also a guy on r*ddit selling the SIMs pre-configured with his card info and freedomfriends, so you can just insert the SIM in your phone once it arrives and forget it).
>>60946192
I'm going to try it out. Well that was quick. Hope my phone works with it. <3333

I have a 500GB SSD with 520mbs read and write 510mbs
Should i upgrade to 500BG Samsung 960 EVO ? any big difference from 500GB EVO 850? or should i buy 1000GB 850EVO SSD
Depends on the cpu. If you have monster single core performance (7700k/7600k/7350k) then you will notice a difference if paired with a nvme 960 pro. Otherwise no
>>60945800
I have 4770K overclocked to 4.5Ghz so it's basically worth the upgrade?
>>60945756
Let's use a 1.2GB file size for a thought experiment
Average 5400-7200rpm HDD speed: ~150MB/s
transfer time: 8 seconds
Average SATAIII SSD speed: ~480MB/s
transfer time: 2.5 seconds
The jump from ~150MB/s to ~480MB/s is a significant 3.2 times reduction in transfer time
Now for that particular drive
WITH faux-SLC caching: 2100MB/s
transfer time: 0.57 seconds
The jump from ~480MB/s to ~2300MB/s is much less noticeable due to our perspective on time, ~2 seconds and ~0.6 seconds doesn't seem to different compared to ~8 seconds to ~2 seconds.
Your programs won't load that much faster because there usually is a bottleneck elsewhere in the system, be it the NVMe controller waiting for the PCIe bus, or the PCIe bus waiting for a single CPU cycle to open up.
I'll say save your money for the 1TB SSD, since capacity is usually more important than outright speed for the vast majority of users.

Why haven't modern GUIs adapted to the shift in aspect ratio standards over the past decade (or, why did we move to 16:9 in the first place)?
With 4:3, you could display two ISO 216 size pages (with a 1:√2 aspect ratio) side-by-side with some excess horizontal space, presumably for the application's toolbar and other GUI chrome.
16:9, being significantly less square-like, actually results in an excess of vertical space, yet operating systems and applications still stack their chrome above or below the content. (On the other hand, vertically reorienting the GUI doesn't make much sense either, since text is horizontal) The result is that pages are not all visible at once, requiring the user to scroll. The alternative would be to zoom the pages out, resulting in even more unused vertical space.
Even if a 16:9 were rotated into a 9:16 orientation, the resulting excess horizontal space would be way too massive for GUI chrome, yet not big enough to stack two pages vertically.
This madness must end. Death to 16:9, death to wasted screen space, death to TVfags. 4:3 or die.
