What you guys think of the Samsung U28E590D, 28" LCD?
Should I get it for gaming / watching Anime?
Are there disadvantages watching full HD content on a 4k display?
>>58271361
28" is too small for a 4k monitor imho.
That one is pretty good though. Only drawback it not being an ips panel.
>>58271414
I'm curious about ISP vs. TN panels.
It' said that ISP offers much better viewing angles. But what's the difference when looking at both ISP and TN at a perfect 90 degrees angle?
>>58271451
IPS have better colors.
>use nouveau drivers
screen artifacts, usable but shit
>use nvidia proprietary drivers
idle ram usage in X jumps from ~100MB to 700MB
>>58271351
>use Windows
everything works. also games, pro software, best battery life
>using Linux
That might be the problem OP.
>use amdgpu drivers + mesa
Everything just werks, only critical bug that I experienced was already patched
>use amdgpu-pro proprietary drivers
Keeps making Plasma and other programs crash, same performance as free drivers

Nvidia shills incoming
>GTX 1080 came out May 27th 2016
>AMD is just NOW giving their response to it
>Nvidia will re-release a Titan XP as a 1080ti that's 2% faster than Vega and thus capturing 80% of the market at that price point.
Remember when AMD was competitive at the high end?
>>58271507
AMD was always a meme.
I bought an AMD PC around 6 years ago because it was slightly cheaper than the Intel/NVIDIA alternatives. Had constant overheating, driver issues, and terrible performance. Scrapped that piece of garbage and only use NVIDIA now.
Is this normal?

>Does HWMonitor say your CPU/APU temp is 70C when idling but your CPU socket feels cool to the touch
Who the fuck would even touch their CPU if a software reports it to be 70℃
I am a Linux Beginner who wants to make Linux the norm. I have been using Ubuntu Gnome for half a year and have come somewhat acquainted with Linux and the terminal by using a book available online.
I have a vision. I want to make Linux the norm and make it applicable to Gaming, Video Editing and Adobe related features for the normies.
How can I go about doing this? How can I dedicate the next 10 years of my life to making Linux compatible for gaming etc. for the mass populace?
I want you to know I am being quite serious, I will dedicate my life to doing this. I am not a gamer myself but I feel this shift in compatibility will bring Linux to the future.

>How can I dedicate the next 10 years of my life to making Linux compatible for gaming etc. for the mass populace?
By convincing developers to release Linux ports or develop natively on Linux. People have been trying since the 90s with various degrees of success. Good luck.
>make ms support dx for linux
>make adobe port their programs to linux
that's it.

>bring Linux to the future.
Linux is, and always has been, the future. Just ask Microsoft.
We are now in the year 2017, the entire world seems to be moving toward wirelessness. Will the personal computer and laptop become obsolete technology?
Will we all be able to interface with a giant supercomputer, by way of micro-electronic handheld technology? This is an interesting concept to seriously consider. Will we all have the ability to access and process information by mobile telephones, or some type of miniture handheld technology? This will become a possibility.
People can now transmit electronic mail, check financial activity and browse the internet through their mobile phones. But this is just the tip of the iceberg as far as possibilities are concerned.
Imagine one day of having the activity to accomplish all your daily tasks anywhere at any time without having to be at a particular location to achieve a certain task. In today's fast paced society people want unlimited flexibility and mobility, this is now mandatory for virtually every aspect of human progress.
Almost everyone possesses a cellular telephone, and the subscription number is expanding exponentially. One day we will all be wireless and this is a fact. One day we will be able to do almost everything by remote control, with a multiple array of digital handheld devices.
What will the implications be for humanity?
Who will benefit and who will suffer?
These are the important questions that we as a society must seriously ask ourselves.
We are all atomic and sub-atomic particles, and we are all wireless, for now.

Hello /g/uys,
I am kinda curious and will start some kind of poll here:
Are you using Apple or Windows as your main operating system? Why do you use it?
You do realize that only extremely mentally people use os x, RIGHT???!
>>58271208
>Are you using Apple or Windows as your main operating system?
Neither. Thanks for asking. Next question.
>>58271226
Is this evidence that most people on here use windows?

Can you guys help me out with this one? What I don't fucking understand is, it produces the noise randomly, I could pretty much put it in heavy load by transferring a few teras but produces absolutely no noise, even if it's in idle it'll start to produce that ear wrenching noise. I've tried some programs online and it doesn't produce the stupid fucking noise, and APM control is also disabled on the drive. You guys have any experience with this? I don't mind RMAing but seems like a fucking hassle on a brand new drive. It's a WD Blue, they didn't have HGST on stock at the time.
>inb4 WD is garbage
It's dying. Back up your data and claim warranty on it.
There's this thing called luck and not every hard drive is exactly the same.
>>58271169
Fuck, I kinda expected things going this way, the HDD states it was mfg on October 2016, but never expected it to fail so easily, SMART indicates it's all good and even rates/counts are not the bad. Fuck WD, from now on I'm only going to purchase Hitachi.
>>58271210
hitachi is owned by wd
LET'S MAKE 2017 THE Year of The Linux Desktop !!!
naah
How about no?

>2k17
>no programming board
You must be fucking kidding me.
Why am I supposed to discuss software development related stuff along with degenerates who cannot decide what keyboard to buy, how to install windows and how to order stuff from fucking aliexpress?
And don't point me to /dpt thread - it is complete mess where you cannot expect any interesting discussion about anything since thread gets to bump limit within one day.
Let those javascript and php monkeys have their own dedicated threads on /programming board where they can ask how to send get queries to apache.

Why would you carry some shitty thinkpad when you can buy ultralight and ultrafast macbook? connectors are not a problem in daily mobile use. heavy weight is.
>can't even carry a few kilograms of weight
lol
>>58270849
>dongle apologists actually exist
>>58270914
how much shit do you actually connect to your thinkpad when youre outside your smelly cave?
what laptops do you think FBI, NSA or other high budget/ tech literate organisations use?
>even a car chair can get into FBI nowadays
Where did things go wrong?
>>58270838
The NSA likely use thinkpads because they use Red Hat Linux and need to have compatible hardware.
>>58270863
Did you know that if you shoot one of the chair officers you vet the same charges as shooting a human officer?
Some fucking bullshit
Which free/libre GNU/Linux distros do you use, and why?
None because they're all outdated and unmaintained shit
>>58270848
Maybe it's worth the freedom?
>>58270856
What freedom do you have if you're not free to choose your distro?
My boss told me to build a server.
Are 32 GB RAM sticks reliable yet?
if you need to ask this question you shouldn't have the job you do
>>58270758
We're still on 16 GiB sticks everywhere
So I can't tell you if 32 GiB are any good or not

So Gentoomen, I have an old radeon hd5450 and a New i3 6100. The question is should i just use that old gpu or should I use the processors graphics.
I know both are shit, just tell me if one or the other
