I lost my old-ass 5110 last time I moved but I'm feeling like using an old phone again (probably thanks to the 3310 homage hype)
so I ordered an original meme phone.
it was about 25 euros w/ new (original nokia, not chinkshit) back/frontplates/buttons and an unused battery, I'm happy with the price even if it kinda feels like a lot for such an old piece of hardware - but eh, I've seen them go for more, esp if they're in good condition
Ryzen BTFO!
https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2017/03/amd-ryzen-review/
The good
>Eight cores and 16 threads at half the price of Intel
>Excellent performance in workstation applications
>AM4 is a modern, full-featured platform
>While only a small performance boost, XFR is zero-effort and works well
The bad
>Gaming performance is weak compared to Intel, particularly in modern titles
>Specialised AVX applications will perform better under Intel
The ugly
>A higher-clocked quad-core chip like the Intel i7-7700K or 7600K is still the best choice of processor for no-compromise gamers

Now I'm installing Debian on it and I hope it will perform better, I also cleaned it all up because it was disgustingly greasy and now I can use it without vomiting, but the keys' feeling is everything but what I would call "great", my brother's old Acer Aspire's keyboard was a lot better despite being nothing special.
I think I'll have to stick with it since it costed 230 bucks, but I think /g/'s obsession with these things is really unjustified. Yeah, I was unlucky to find one that wasn't really in good conditions, but as it happened to me it could happen to everyone since they're used laptops and you have no warranty that their conditions will be good (this was even a refurbished one but sucked ass). And even if you found a near-mint one, it's not really anything special, any laptop will be the same or better.
So fuck those chinkpads and most of all fuck me for listening to anons on the internet when I want to buy something.

I got screwed by Intel.
I had an i7 6700k that a family member bought me almost 1 year ago, and Intel told me they cant do nothing because he is dead.
So I got that going for me which is nice..
What to do?

people are arguing about daily drivers mostly. i do believe it's silly though. i strongly prefer using linux as my daily driver. on my machine i have a windows 7 drive and an ubuntu drive. i'm on ubuntu about 97% of the time just getting shit done. i boot into windows pretty much only for playing civilization (4 and 5) or verifying my box.com backups that are synced with my blackberry classic. use what works, when it works, for what you need to get done. i also have a 2006-era macbook (obviously running os x) that is basically just a toy now.

"At this point, you might be left feeling disillusioned when considering AMD’s tech demos. Keep in mind that most of the charts leaked and created by AMD revolved around Cinebench, which is not a gaming workload. When there were gaming workloads, AMD inflated their numbers by doing a few things:
In the Sniper Elite demo, AMD frequently looked at the skybox when reloading, and often kept more of the skybox in the frustum than on the side-by-side Intel processor. A skybox has no geometry, which is what loads a CPU with draw calls, and so it’ll inflate the framerate by nature of testing with chaotically conducted methodology. As for the Battlefield 1 benchmarks, AMD also conducted using chaotic methods wherein the AMD CPU would zoom / look at different intervals than the Intel CPU, making it effectively impossible to compare the two head-to-head.
And, most importantly, all of these demos were run at 4K resolution. That creates a GPU bottleneck, meaning we are no longer observing true CPU performance. The analog would be to benchmark all GPUs at 720p, then declare they are equal (by way of tester-created CPU bottlenecks). There’s an argument to be made that low-end performance doesn’t matter if you’re stuck on the GPU, but that’s a bad argument: You don’t buy a worse-performing product for more money, especially when GPU upgrades will eventually out those limitations as bottlenecks external to the CPU vanish."

"As for Blender benchmarking, AMD’s demonstrated Blender benchmarks used different settings than what we would recommend. The values were deltas, so the presentation of data is sort of OK, but we prefer a more real-world render. In its Blender testing, AMD executes renders using just 150 samples per pixel, or what we consider to be “preview” quality (GN employs a 3D animator), and AMD runs slightly unoptimized 32x32 tile sizes, rendering out at 800x800. In our benchmark, we render using 400 samples per pixel for release candidate quality, 16x16 tiles, which is much faster for CPU rendering, and a 4K resolution. This means that our benchmarks are not comparable to AMD’s, but they are comparable against all the other CPUs we’ve tested. We also believe firmly that our benchmarks are a better representation of the real world. AMD still holds a lead in price-to-performance in our Blender benchmark, even when considering Intel’s significant overclocking capabilities (which do put the 6900K ahead, but don’t change its price).
As for Cinebench, AMD ran those tests with the 6900K platform using memory in dual-channel, rather than its full quad-channel capabilities. That’s not to say that the results would drastically change, but it’s also not representative of how anyone would use an X99 platform."

here, you can see an exact prototype of a nu male. A white pussy fag cuck, ridden with guilt, without any pride whatsoever, bought and paid with 1000$ to shill for a company that milked billions of $ from cuck gamers and other consumers.
you can see total defeat in his eyes, you can be sure he will use that 1000$ from intel to pay for a weekend trip for his (((gf))) and her lovers tyrone and jamal.
nu male cuckoldry at its best.

Go is fucking retarded.
Let's look at the code to check if a list contains an item.
Java:myList.contains("My string");
Python:'My string' in my_list
Go:func contains(s []int, e int) bool {
for _, a := range s {
if a == e {
return true
}
}
return false
}
and repeated for every type you want to use it for

Also, the binaries are fuck huge (2MB for fucking hello world, C version is 10KB).
There is literally NO reason to use this pile of garbage. Do yourself a favor and use something that can actually compete, like Rust.
