You could just buy a new drive and drop it in.
It doesn't need to be soldered.
Unless you bought one of the latest models.
If you did, then you deserve what you get.

My very first email address was a yahoo one. I don't use it anymore, but my dad (almost 50) still uses his yahoo account.

Ok time for summary:

Vega is the biggest fundamental architecture change since they switched from Terascale to GCN 1.0
The new NCU means a massive boost to efficiency in the shader core and a much easier ability to fully saturate the GPU with work.
The biggest problem with Fiji(furyX) is that its 4096 shaders didnt mean very much because of large bubbles in the pipeline and large ammounts of shaders idling and doing no work each cycle.
Even with a low Level API like Vulcan which is best case scenario the FuryX is still not running with all cylinders firing because Vulkan only solved the Driver overhead problem. There is still bubbles in the workload because of the fundamental design of the GCN architecture itself.

AMD is switching from standard 4x16-bit blocks of a normal GCN CU(compute unit) to This new design of a variable 8+4+2+2 block and either four of these or a mix of these and standard 16-bit blocks in this new NCU(next compute unit)

They could not Do this in the past because they did not have the technology to build a Hardware Scheduler and Memory Scheduler Complexed enough to run this kind of architecture.

We have test samples of Vega with NCU's disabled and with very low clockspeeds and its beating a 1900mhz overclocked gtx 1080 in DOOM. Now there is a gain from using Vulcan over DX11 and OpenGL for AMD but thats on the Driver Overhead side not on the fundamental shader operations side. IT just means the CPU is feeding draw calls to the GPU at peak efficiency.

Alot of people dismiss the test because its vulcan but they dont know what they are looking at. The Vega sample is running FIJI 1.2 drivers Which means the instructions are running through the Vega NCU's like they are standard fixed 16-bit blocks like you have on a FuryX card.

So you need to look at it from this perspective.

This New architecture is more advanced than Maxwel/Pascal. You are going to see unreal performance from Vega when its finally released. Poor Volta

vega will evicerate XP and volt fort $350 dude. your card is worthless

>Do you have any suggestions for a relatively stable & beginner-friendly distro?

Mint is your go-to option for beginner friendlyness
Debian is even more rock solid

Babby mode is Ubuntu/Mint to get the gist of it then move onto Debian

I'm a fan of Debian, went straight to it ~2y ago and haven't had any issues yet

I do recommend the 'testing' branch though, 'stable' is really out of date (more intended for servers & grandmas since it's pretty much all LTS versions of software) and 'unstable' has problems now & then (although I know people run it just fine)

In my experience, the #1 problem is wifi drivers on any distro, so do some research on your wifi card if you're not on a desktop

Do you feel remorse for killing a thread with this garbage?

What were you doing that caused it to get deleted?

Her ass has diabetes

That looks annoying as fuck. I already hate special snowflake windows so people can see just how mediocre their builds really are.

250$ for a nightlight that nobody else will ever see anyways unless you take a picture and send it to all those friends you don't have.

on the other side, if your goal in life is to be as degenerate as possible, this allows you to elevate your degeneracy to all new levels.

what are you talking about, Google Now is waaaay more intelligent than Alexa

but it's not saying much

if you own a 'home assistant' you are gay

Got a better laptop (IMO) at a MicroCenter. It's an Ultrabook, shipping Wednesday.

The shit you can do with the touch bar is actually pretty damned neat. It's very customizable. Just not a good enough reason to remove some very useful keys.

I would definitely like to try this computer out. Haven't actually seen one IRL yet.

Just use V1 captcha.

>>58414145
google has literal aspergers

the person who invented the captcha has aspergers. which of course explains why the captcha is so autistic. all the captcha does is make it harder for normal users. it doesn't stop spam. if anything, it encourages it due to how rage infuriating it is.

Can you copy and paste the (.>__<.) thing?

TV manufacturers removed numberical volume labeling for this reason

>when you have a Harmon kardon receiver and the volume is a negative number with 0 being full blast.

Every tv I have uses numbers, including the Sony i bought last week
