Barring a miracle, does AMD have hope in the long term?
I want them to do well, but realistically, things don't look good.
They always under-perform financially, and they don't have the luxury of massive piles of cash to sit out a few bad years, like intel or apple do.
They consistently cut R&D spending, which is basically a death sentence when it comes to chip design. You can't compete effectively when you can't pay top notch engineers.
Most of their stuff occupies the unenviable "cheap" niche, which wouldn't be TOO bad if it weren't for the fact that their competitors STILL beat them on volume, and for much higher margins!
Are we looking at AMD dying a long and slow death, only kept alive by it's low margin console contracts and secret infusions of cash form intel and nvidia?
Or does anyone see some miracle happening soon that'll allow them to be able to compete effectively like back in the old days?
Thoughts? I'm really hoping something happens so that they'll start releasing stuff that's competitive on the high end of the market, and not just because it's cheaper.

AMD will be kept alive not due to their products, but solely to prevent monopoly laws from affecting nVidia and Intel.
>>
>>58554436
that gets repeated all the time, but honestly, with the way the industry operates now, I don't think that's something intel and nvidia really have to worry about
the traditional desktop market where they would be a monopoly is growing smaller year over year. at this point, intel's biggest competitors are ARM based companies like apple and the like. i don't think intel and nvidia would really have much to worry about in the event AMD went under anymore, just because of how much the industry has changed.

Hey, new fa/g/ here.
I've been into PC gaming for a long time now, but I've always settled for a pre-built gaming laptop. Now that I'm starting to settle down into an apartment and a full-time job, I want to get a huge upgrade.
Right now I'm looking at a rig based around the GTX 1080. But that's about all I know of what I want. I could really use some helps as to what I should be looking at when finding the parts to building a pc. Maybe a checklist of essentials? That would seriously help. Thanks guys.

Wondering if there are any B or C students here that pass their programming courses but lack understanding of basics and see it screws you over as you progress through your courses. AND not say anything because by the time you are in X course you are suppose to know Y and it'll be a joke if you don't and exposed as a fraud.
If this is you, how do you pass programming assignments and test?

Did this a lot for EE. Basically memorized the methodology for solving problems and did well on exams. Graduated high honors and doing well at a defense contractor. So Idk if you're good enough at faking it you can still do a lot if stuff. A lot of the time the full understanding came later, especially on the job

Depends. Never really ran into this, although it gets significantly easier if you have a better understanding than what the class actually requires. That being said, though, my only reference in terms of there being a "gap" was a really shit-tier "Intro to Computer Science" python class, and then a whole class on C# using winforms.
I can say for absolute certain that 1 class was a shitfest due to the professor, not students misunderstanding the content.
>do a bunch of required assignments
>no guidelines aside from "do it"
>only thing that ever was graded was the midterm assessment
>goes entirely against the course description
>still passed, no clue how well I actually did on anything else

I'm starting to wonder if I should just bite the blue pill bullet and embrace Microsoft and its merry gang of corporate goons. I was happier before I knew all that I knew about privacy issues.
Perhaps I should simply get over the idea of losing privacy and download Office 365, go balls deep in Outlook 2016, use all of Cortana's features, use Edge, reenable advertisements, use the Xbox at startup, use Bitlocker, upgrade all of my devices to Windows 10, disable and uninstall classic start, join Fast Ring of Windows Insider Program, Allow All Apps in the Background, use the Facebook App, only use docx, use the Twitter App, play Candy Crush, Login with my Microsoft Outlook ID, Allow Cortana to get to know me, and mount a glossy picture of the current CEO of Microsoft.
How does this sound?

Are there any good pirated copies out yet or should I buy it? I didn't upgrade when it was free.

Your w7 key should just work with w10, even if you didn't take the free upgrade

Where the fuck do they get the minerals for minerals?
According to the USGS 25 million americans collect minerals in some form. If they collect even two minerals that's literally BILLIONS of pounds of minerals.
Where the fuck do they get all the minerals for that?

I found them out in the middle of nowhere between ages 8. Got about 40lbs of different minerals in my living room, half of the weight is fossils I've found in areas where paleontologists have never been. Lost my trilobite collection 14 years ago because my literal retard cousin broke them with a hammer "to see their insides".
