Can /g/ make better with $400?
>>59299699
Looks good, but dat case tho.
>>59299862
What's wrong with the case?
I like it.

OwO~! What is this!?~

Another 25W SoC
So the high-end ryzen processors support more threads than intels leading processors and perform better than them on synthetic benchmarks, right?
Would this not translate into better performance in something like PCSX2 emulation?

I thought this was /g/ - Consumer Electronics
Long story short, I think the company I work at (aerospace contracting firm) is about to go under. I've done a ton of coding (mainly automating boring tasks everyone everyone has to put up with) so even though I'm technically an aerospace eng, I've found myself really wanting to get my next job at a place that combines engineering and programming.
I've got good contacts for a really awesome company that makes aircraft analysis software but the only problem is that they're only looking for people that have a commanding grasp of C++/OpenGL and something called Fox Toolkit.
So my main question is, as someone who's very comfortable with the logic/algorithms behind coding in a few languages (C#, Swift, Javascript), what is the quickest route to God-tier understanding of C++/OpenGL?
Bonus points if you can tell me wtf Fox Toolkit is without me having to fucking read all of this right now:

It's kind of like QT. It's multiplatform gui library.

>what is the quickest route to God-tier understanding of [BLANK]?
Year of practice and the ability to learn on your own.
>I'm technically an aerospace eng,
It is odd that someone who is 'technically' and engineer would come to an anime imageboard and ask about shortcuts to learning a new skill. There is no best method of learning. If you have the experience that you claim then dive in.
>if you can tell me wtf [BLANK] is without me having to fucking read
That's the spirit!
Snark aside. There are no shortcuts. There is no best route, tutorial, class...you just have to dig in. Put in the work (see also *read*). When you run into issues, use your favorite search engine to find the solution.
Good luck Anon.

(2/2)
1. Read https://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/c++/ it'll teach you c++ head first.
2. Familiarize yourself with making stuff with c++
a. Create simple programs to help you learn the language.
b. Look at other people's code. Look at both small and large projects and how they are organised.
3. Start following opengl tutorials.
>WARNING Make sure they are for modern opengl.
Old opengl is pretty different
4. Start making your own simple opengl programs.
For your simple programs, pick something just out of your reach. After doing as much as you can on your own, look up online how other people do it. Each one of these projects should teach you something.
Eventually play around with fox toolkit and make something.
BONUS POINTS: Make a program that combines c++, opengl, and fox toolkit to show off your skills set in case they want to see something. Even if they don't ask you get experience working with all three together.
why do you still use a smartphone, /g/? Why don't you install androidx86 on a virtual machine and use dumbphone which has weeks of standby time? This way you won't be angry because of no updates, can backup your OS easily, and add RAM whenever you want, and you won't have to spend 300 dollars every two years
>>59299002
How am I supposed to sext my girlfriend then?
>>59299002
>install androidx86 on a virtual machine
Runs like absolute shit, a 2nd gen i5 by now is not fast by any mean but surely shouldnt struggle with this, runs all desktop OSes in VMs without problems.
>>59299185
pentium t4200 here. you can install it on your usb drive and use it whenever you need; i don't have hardware virtualization so i installed to my usb and got 50k on antutu. Not bad for a pentium. It was pretty smooth
>omg guys the CIA is gonna get me!
>guys wtf I never even imagined that the CIA is already compromising my iPhone and my mom's TV!
>guys I'm seriously fucking shaking right now because my entire world is shattered now that the CIA-run media told me that the CIA has complete control over every birthday present my mommy gave me!
>guys I do normie shit all day like discuss TV shows and work a stupid job and wonder how to get a gf but I still think the CIA would care about me
>guys omg Linux is compromised! I use Windows to play games and watch Game of Thrones but what am I gonna do when I eventually make the move to an open source OS like I keep telling myself I will because /g/ tells me I should?
>guys omg there's nothing special about me and I pose no threat to a female's hymen much less a world power structure but I still think the CIA is watching me right now!
Is /g/ seriously this full of retards?
You people seriously need to grow up and actually learn about the world outside of your discussions about smartphone apps.
>t. AMD shill
Why are you here
/g/ is mostly comprised of paranoid, socially retarded anime watching losers, so it's no surprise that they act like that
I mainly come here to get info on new hardware and cool new tech, just hide such retarded threads and you'll be fine

Ubiquiti is nice SOHO gear, but you guys really need to stop shilling it everywhere.

> Cell phones are tracking and surveillance devices. They all enable the phone system to record where the user goes, and many (perhaps all) can be remotely converted into listening devices.
> I use a Thinkpad X60 computer, in which the FSF installed a free initialization program (libreboot) and a free operating system (Trisquel GNU/Linux.) This is the first computer model ever to be sold commercially with a free initialization program and a free operating system, and thus the first computer product the FSF could endorse. (It was not sold that way by Lenovo, however.)
> I am careful in how I connect to the internet. Specifically, I refuse to connect through portals that would require me to identify myself, or to run any nontrivial nonfree Javascript code. I don't mind giving an identity that isn't really me, if that works.
> I generally do not connect to web sites from my own machine, aside from a few sites I have some special relationship with. I usually fetch web pages from other sites by sending mail to a program (see git://git.gnu.org/womb/hacks.git) that fetches them, much like wget, and then mails them back to me. Then I look at them using a web browser, unless it is easy to see the text in the HTML page directly. I usually try lynx first, then a graphical browser if the page needs it (using konqueror, which won't fetch from other sites in such a situation).
> I occasionally also browse unrelated sites using IceCat via Tor. Except for rare cases, I do not identify myself to them. I think that is enough to prevent my browsing from being connected with me. IceCat blocks tracking tags and most fingerprinting methods.
> I never pay for anything on the Web. Anything on the net that requires payment, I don't do. (I made an exception for the fees for the stallman.org domain, since that is connected with me anyway.) I also avoid paying with credit cards.
> I have mostly used DuckDuckGo for the past couple of years.
who are you quoting?
Your life will be no less meaningless because you care about muh security. At the end of the day, you will be a rotting piece of nothing, and no one will remember you.

What are the challenges in designing games for hardware using multi-cluster or multi-core GPUs in an SoC? Why hasn't anyone made a game console out of a ARM processor using a multi-core GPU SoC?
Pic related is vaporware; despite being announced in 2014, no one seems to have released any products using the PowerVR GT7900 despite theoretically able to generate 1 TFLOPS in a small package.
Power consumption and heat may be factors, also cost then. Maybe it's cheaper to do an APU or other GPU in small builds vs a PVR/ARM SoC.
because it's harder to pull off and get right
>>59298353
Because the industry hates change, and risks.
I want a laptop along the lines of a Lenovo 910 or HP spectre, but I'm afraid those and other ultrabooks make too many sacrifices for that few less millimeters and grams.
What's a happy medium sub 14 inch laptop that's still portable and light, but with decent key travel and cooling, and is durable? I want touch, don't give a fuck about 2 in 1. Not a gaymer. This will be my only computer and I will be travelling with it a decent amount.

Hey /g/
I just wanted to know the go-to for chatting
IRC, Telegram, FaceBook, WhatsApp, Viber, Skype, Discord, Slack
What is the go-to and why? How can I make friends on them? (a separate question that /g/ probably won't know the answer to)
>>59298254
nice try, cia nigger
>>59298254
What IRC client is the best?
>>59298254
Most people use hexchat for irc. Discord and telegram are the most popular among normies of the things you listed.
What player to use to watch anime on OSX?
Windows - MPC-HC
MacOS & Linux & BSD - mpv
