I'm going to buy a smart phone for my mother and it'll be with T-Mobile prepaid services but they only have a limited number of phones that do their wifi calling.

She says she thinks she likes the Samsung Galaxy phones so I've narrowed it down to between the S7 and S5.

I expect she'll be keeping this phone for many years to come so longevity is important.

So here's the problem.

S7
>better processor
>more up-to-date version of Android

S5
>removable battery that can be replaced

Should I get her the S5 to ensure the battery can be replaced in a couple years when it's dying? Or should I get her the S7 to ensure the Android version stays more up-to-date and doesn't "age out" sooner?

Hey /g, I'm have been feeling like I am in a rut staying in my current major of Mechanical Engineering, currently enrolled in community college. Simply put, I am tired of spending most of my time studying for my classes when not at school. I want to know more about the programming industry because I have considered going into computer programming. Pic is my current GPA.

pic related is the only cable internet provider in the area. Since ping, not overall downstream, is the biggest variable affecting online gaming experience, will I notice any difference between the 10 MB/s package and the 250 MB/s package, assuming I'm only running one device at a time?

I feel this company is trying to take advantage of the "ultimate gamer"!

Does anyone here use the BubbleUPnP plugin on foobar2000 to stream music to a device outside the network? I've been fucking around with the settings for quite a while but it just won't work. I've already forwarded the port on my router, and it shows open on every port testing site I try, but I can't still fucking access it through either a web browser, foobar2000 mobile or VLC.

According to the "Internet access" settings, I should be able to listen to the stream through

http://<login>:<pass>@<ip>:<port>/content/psc.<ext>

so it looks something like

http://anon:[email protected]:12345/content/psc.mp3

But I get "connection refused" or "unable to connect" or whatever the fuck else no matter what I try.
Little help?

My current CPU and GPU;
- R9 280x Toxic OC
- i7 2600k 4.5ghz

Would it be better to upgrade my GPU or CPU first? Was thinking of getting a gtx 1080 now, or buy a CPU and waiting for the gtx 1080ti.

If all I do is gaming, with possible plans to start streaming and recording videos. Would it be better to invest in a ryzen or i7 7700k?

I don't know what to upgrade first and I can't do both right now.

Here's the deal, /g/:

I own a PC that I remade myself for gaming purposes, it runs Windows 10. The CPU is an AMD eight-core that's not even five years old. I have a lot of games that I play, but when I try to play the more detailed games my computer inevitably turns off. No warning, no blue screen, it just shuts off quietly. It runs just fine if I'm browsing the internet or playing less graphics-intensive games, however.

I replaced the power supply today, as it was nearly ten years old and loaded with dust. I now have a 100-watt supply installed, leaving the oldest parts of my computer being the side and rear fans. It's running fine now, but when I tried to play vermintide, it shut off without warning and refused to restart three times, finally restarting on the fourth time, after I let it sit for a minute or two.

So my question is: what the hell is keeping my computer from playing things like Fallout 4 and Total War: Warhammer?

Why don't GPUs come with VRAM slots like motherboards come with RAM slots? Why are they built in?

Why are there so few laptops with AMD chips?

Would it be better to get a laptop with a Core2 or one of the new AMD A-series chips?

Where do I get started when I want to create .io games? I'm talking about those "Type in username and play" browser games like Agario. They seem like easy money if advertised correctly.

My problem is. While I know how to do all the client/browser side shit related to UI, graphics and animation. I have no clue how to make it multiplayer or how to set up the server and connect to it via javascript in the browser.
Any resources? I would have googled it if I knew what to google.
