Where's the other thread
bought an ATX motherboard, installed in a non-atx case with 4 instead of 6 standoffs.
Works fine. Should i be worried about shorts or anything that would affect the functionality of the pc if its missing one standoff at the bottom?
my non-atx case can only allow for one of the two on the ATX mobo
What's the difference between USB 2.0 and USB 3.0?
What are working on, /g/?

Newb here, could really use some help with this webdev-related thing
tl;dr:
- working on a simple client for NodeBB forum software for the sake of learning
- found this: https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-plugin-write-api
- discovered that mynodebbdomain.com/api/login will return a login token of some sort if I send user/pass in a POST request
That github page states that I can use some kind of bearer token or a JSON web token of some sort, but I'm not clear on how to interface my user's login with any of that. Obviously I can create a token manually for each user using the admin panel as per the github readme but that's pointless—I'm going for a functional client here which doesn't require admin intervention for each separate user
Anyone have any helpful tips etc.?
please respond, have yet another pepe
jfc op wtf are you doing

fucking everything up, I suppose.
Post your component list, rate other anons', ask questions in general.
Always state the purpose of your PC, your budget, AND YOUR COUNTRY if outside the USA.
If you are asking for improvements, clarify whether you want to lower price or to improve specs or build quality.

Why the default settings are set to shit quality?
And why no Real dxva support.
VLC at default has shit tons of frame tearing with my anime.
MPV is flawless
/g/ is pretty much "the moment normies start using a program, switch to some shit obscure one"
you fucks are like /mu/ but with software.
That said MPC is still best.

i heard it was back, but that they dont have a dedicated moderation staff. is it kosher?
Whaddya need?
guys i want to buy a watch. a good automatic watch. i have around 1500$ CAD wich is 1100$ US to put in that. i like classic watches with metal bracelet. any1 has a suggestion / experience? i cant make up my mind. i love the watch in the pic but its over my budget
Frederique Constant is alright in that price range
>>58117721
>good automatic watch
>1500$ CAD
You're out of luck, sorry m8. Only low and meh tier automatics at that price.
go ask the watch thread buddy.
That is a pretty awkward price range though. There is tons of stuff 400-900 USD more and a lot of stuff 600 USD less, but nothing really comes to mind in that range that stands out.
Does madvr work with 64-bit version of mpc-hc?
Just run OP I'll distract the mpv shills.
No but who needs more than 32bit for videos there's no advantage.

Hey /g/ how you doing.
Right now I'm upgrading my pc. Problem is this...
Will this be a problem in the long run? Is it a lot of loss in performance to place in slot 2?
I know I screwed up in buying this hog of a cooler, but I like air ones than the liquid kind...
Thanks in advance and good day to all of you.
Anyone? Would like some answers/input...
>>58118266
is there like metal touching any other components? if not then it shouldnt short anything
id say go for it

Pretty much invisible if you can even make out any form of a dip to start: https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/NVIDIA/GeForce_GTX_1080_PCI_Express_Scaling/
With this usb kill getting popular can't you just protect yourself by turning off the USB charging function in the BIOS the locking your bios.
Shit, my image is sideways
No. It only uses the charging pins to, well, charge. It sends the power surge down the data pins which have no protection on most modern systems.
>>58117984
But if the charging pins are disabled then it can't surge the data one
You have ONE nano-second to explain to me why you're not using Go.

Like?
as far as I'm concerned, the major gripe against apple is underpowered/overpriced. in the case of the iPhone, it is overpowered/similarly or lower priced to other flagships.
is the argument then just 'you can get a cheaper nonflagship phone to do the same thing in a shittier yet satisfactory manner whilst trading your privacy'?
but seriously can we agree iPhone is the best possible smartphone?
I know you're shitposting but the iPhone unironically is one of the only two phones on the market worth buying (the other being the Galaxy S7 Edge). Of course, both of these are sour grapes to the poor niggers who inhabit this board.
You do realize that only extremely mentally ill (ie homosexuals) use iphones, right?
>>58117503
The fact that it has NVMe storage makes it the only phone worth buying today. Jet Black 7+ or GTFO.
Bought the VG248 144 hz monitor after good reviews. Plugged into displayport with an R9 390, installed drivers, cranked it up to 144hz.
The top inch of the monitor is flicking like a motherfucker every second. Did I get memed?
>>58117434
I bought the RX 480 from Asus and I installed drivers from Asus website. They were horrible and laggy. Then I installed them from AMD site and they have been perfect ever since.
So that's my suggestion if you happen to have wrong drivers. Install them from AMD.
>>58117434
>AMD
Yes, you did.
>>58117434
I work at best buy, our display unit has flickering issues whenever something moves onscreen. it could be a high failure rate in these panels
where is it niggers?
how much will it cost?
how powerful will it be?
>>58117303
They're waiting for the 490 to drop so they can drop prices on the 1080 and 1070 and slot the 1080Ti in at 1000$, which will then be taken to ~1600$ from the very low supply such an enormous chip will have.
>where is it niggers?
Pic related
>how much will it cost?
Too much
>how powerful will it be?
Not as powerful as the RX 490.
Just buy a RX 490 instead.
