My super normie cousin deleted Facebook but somehow kept messenger. Is this the latest normie trend? Can we kill Facebook this way? He doesn't even have a profile pic anymore, but I can see him on my friends list. He also has no profile page.
>kill facebook by using facebook services
hmmm
Kill yourself.

/pcbg/: Post your component list; rate other anons'; ask questions in general.
State the PURPOSE of your PC & BUDGET. State COUNTRY if not USA.
List GAMES/SOFTWARE you use often. List resolution & hz if gaming.
Seeking build improvements? Clarify if goal is to lower price or improve specs.
Put effort into your queries to make yourself easy to help.

Currently worthwhile CPUs:
>G4560 for budget builds (<$500) unless G4620/i3-6100 is heavily discounted
>i3 & i5 aren't worthwhile. Get Ryzen 5, drop down to G4560, or up to i7
>No R5 1400 unless super cheap on sale
>i7-7700k is good but pricey. If over budget: consider a locked 7700 and not chasing 4.8Ghz+ capable when you weren't gonna overclock - or get Ryzen 5
>Cheap Z270 board is still worth it for faster memory in games with a locked 7700. Cheap Z270 aren't for overclocking (VRMs suck)
>R7/Xeon for compute/multitask/mixed use
Currently worthwhile GFX cards:
>RX470 8GB, RX480 8GB, 1070, 1080, 1080TI
>1060 is worth considering over a 480 if same/cheaper in your country, or you just play games it's better on for the price. 1050Ti is for mITX builds
>Budget builds: consider integrated graphics over a card weaker than an RX470, unless another's price/performance is better (ie discounted/used)
>Vega comes in May
General:
>Don't feel bound to a specific brand/model. Parametric filters on pcpartpicker can help here
>Consider SSD only for what you budgeted on SSD+HDD combined. Add HDD later once needed
>NVMe aren't worth it just for faster OS boot. They're primarily for quicker loading/saving of files for productivity
>Save money with mATX case/mobo, and if patient by purchasing your parts individually in flash sales

Do Ryzen 5 work on old day1 motherboards BIOSes?
I'm building a virtualization pc with proxmox not to be bound by any OS and have fun installing gentoo on VMs, also intend to play games like VR with it.
What i chose:
AMD RYZEN 7 1800X, got one for 310€ on ebay like website
Noctua NH-D15, may buy 3 Noctua NF-A4x10 for case
Kingston ValueRAM 16 Go DDR4 2400 MHz ECC
GTX 1070, trying to get one for cheap, 1080 don't go lower than 400€
Fractal Design Define R3
1 SSD either 500 or 1TB to put VMs on maybe ZFS, not sure about which file system to use for this?
Bunch of WD red HDD to stock data using probably btrfs
Still need to choosea motherboard and PSU.
Could i get some tips or advices ? Am i doing good so far ?
>>59901766
better off going for a 1700 and ocing it spend the saved money on better ram and GPU I would use the cooler the 1700 comes with and see what you think of it. If its not good enough go ahead and buy a standalone.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZS2XHcQdqA&feature=youtu.be
Due to this i would be going for a 2933-3200 2x8gb kit Trident Z, Corsair LPX, Flare X etc just something that is known to work well with ryzen
A few years ago I fucked up and bought a Windows RT. Not the x86_64 one, the ARM one. That's not even fucking Windows. No x86 programs will ever run on this piece of shit.
Selling it on ebay is not worth it either. The existing ones are going for a mere $20.
Is there anything remotely useful that I can do with this piece of shit?
>>59901621
I bought the surface RT version that they released 3 years ago. Support lasted for just one year goddammit.
guise halp pls
Am I truly fucked?
Apart from missing sync (a meaningless feature if you are not an idiot), what's wrong with it?
I wish the UI was faster and that you could drag tiled tabs borders to resize. Apart from that it's truly the best option these days
Not sure. I like it a lot, I've been using it for a few months.

I've recently gotten into an exchange about all of his predictions being way too optimistic; he changes either the ETA or expectations to be farther away or less demanding, respectively, with each new release of predictions.
Currently the 2018 goal post is for 10^13 terabits (Or 10 Terabytes, Wikipedia seems to use these interchangeably but they aren't) of computer memory to be $1,000 in 2018.
If we go by 10^13 bits, that's 1.25 TB of memory for $1,000 in a year.
Now, what I don't know is if he means total storage capacity (in which case yes, 10TB of SSD/HDD space is confirmably doable in a year for $1,000) or RAM.
Since he's already correct about total storage (With HDD), but his prediction stated computer MEMORY I'm going to test the idea that 10TB of RAM will reach $1,000 within a year and SSD storage will reach that price.
If we use MicroSD memory, that's currently accomplished via about $4,000 worth of SD cards.
If we use SSD's, that's about $3,000
If we use RAM sticks, that's about $62,500
So we're looking at, in the upcoming year, either a new production technology or an additional efficiency technology to get price drops of:
>75% on MicroSD storage
>66% on SSD storage
>A fuckload on RAM.
I hope he's right desu I want to upload my brain into a perfect cgi world where me and my waifu can be together senpai
>>59901010
delusional jew
>>59901510
Leaning this myself, as much as I'd like him to be correct. My post shows how he's either still accurate for the current time period OR already insanely far off. It depends on whether or not he meant RAM or storage.
>>59901353
Even if he's right, brain uploading crosses into straight philosophy bounds for A LONG FUCKING TIME. I mean so much so that there's no way of knowing honestly. It's "Hard problem of consciousness" levels of into the future technologically speaking.
I would say over the past two years. I've realize how much of a time sink is video games and how video gaming culture is full of retards and pseudo-intellectual fuckers. I rather put that time in my career, education and more intellectual hobbies like reading scholarly books or improving my technical skills. If I want to game, I could just play board games with my friends (when I have the time) and not anonymously with random 13-year-old dumbasses and their bullshit over who can out twitch each other and waifus.
The last straw for me is looking at my computer and realizing that those games are just wasting space on my hard drive that could be put better use. I thinking that when I am going to reformat my drive I wouldn't install any games there at all.

1. How do you update bios of ANUS motherboard if you live in 2017 and don't have flash drive or optical driver?
2. Why is this POS sending such bollocks to my speakers when powered down? Is Taiwan trying to remotely brainwash me with "random noise" during sleep?
>>59900682
>live in 2017 and don't have flash drive
You buy one
1. Ok if u spent the last of your money on that motherboard, return it get anything $5 cheaper then get a flash drive at least 1 megabyte big.
2. new motherboard will fix this issue

>it's 2017 and we still didn't came up with something better than blowing cool hair in your laptop to keep it from overheating
Wtf /g/ ? Is this really the most effective cooling method we can think of?
>>59900479
Well not hair for sure
>>59900479
the huge air corporations don't want you switching to better technologies lad, air is a huge industry
>>59900479
You can get passively cooled laptops. But it turns out that most people are willing to accept a reasonably quiet fan in exchange for much higher performance.
Realistically speaking is VEGA even going to be able to compete with Pascal? It seems like all their funding and research went over to building up Ryzen.
Yes. AMD always competes in price.
>>59899915
No. Give up, buy a Quadro GP100 if you want HBM2 and use GeForce drivers.
>>59900165
but what if i want freesync 2 you dumb kike?
Ask all your stupid questions here that don't deserve their own thread
Google your question first
>>59899771
I googled "Is google a botnet?" Then my browser crashed. Should I have used firefox instead?
I'm interested in poking around Freenet, just out of curiosity.
Is there anyway to camouflage your ip? Would turning on the VPN have any effect?
>>59899797
Alwys use firefox. Also, be sure to remove anything related to jewgle and use another browser. They track everything you do. Which should be obvious to anyone.
