Whats my next step in upgrading my computer? I had originally built this with intention of doing upgrades later. Is it time to upgrade?
Here are the current specs. The only differing thing is that I now have windows 10.
I would like to get a new AMD card but my friend keeps telling me to get a nvidia. He says AMD isn't bad, its just the industry caters to nvidia for some reason? Don't even know if that is really all that true.

Replace the GPU, add an SSD, upgrade to Windows 10.
Optional: get a better monitor.
Everything else can stay.
>>
>>57117489
Any reccommendations on GPUs?
I prefer AMD but I don't believe they have released the new card right?

What's the best ebook reader?
I personally think that the 7th gen kindle is good enough to be at the top.

Just caught this half-year old video.
Why don't we use RAM disks for the OS any more? These days the amount of RAM that could be affordably owned is larger than any install should be by a wide margin, and SSDs can throw around data like nobody's business.
So why no RAM-disk OSs?

The same reason we don't have the operating system in ROM any more: constraints.
Imagine a modern programmer having to work an OS in to a certain size, and they simply CAN NOT go over that. So despite the obvious advantage to the user in terms of speed and responsiveness, it wont happen.

I'm studying it (in Germany).
I like that I learn many things instead of focusing on only one thing. It helps if you're genuinely interested in how everything works, because you will learn a broad field of knowledge with many different concepts.
The downside is that you will not learn the most in-depth things that you would learn if you focused on only one of the fields in the OP image. But you probably won't need that.

IRC: #/tpg/ on irc.rizon.net
Other business laptops are also welcome in /tpg/ (e.g. Dell Latitude/Precision, HP EliteBook/ZBook).
----
If you're looking for purchase advice, READ THE BUYERS GUIDE FIRST. Then post, stating budget and requirements (e.g. size and performance).
Don't buy anything OTHER THAN T, X AND W/P SERIES if you want the Real ThinkPad Experienceâ„¢
Recommended models:
T420 - 14", normal size
X220 - 12.5", ultraportable
----
Why ThinkPad? (also applies to other business laptops)
>Used machines are plentiful and cheap.
>Excellent keyboards - tactile feel and quiet.
>Great durability: chassis uses a magnesium rollcage for structural integrity, with high quality plastic body panels.
>Utilitarian design: e.g. indicator LEDs, 7 row keyboard layout on older models.
>Docking stations that easily turns your laptop into a desktop.
>Easy to repair, upgrade and maintain thanks to readily available service manuals for every model. Spare parts are easy and cheap to obtain.
>The best trackpoint (that red thing in the middle of the keyboard). Great for those who type a lot or hate swiping their fingers all over a touchpad.
>Excellent GNU/Linux & *BSD support.

What's the most thinkpad'ish modern laptop? In the sense of design and layout. I really like the design of, say, the t520(keyboard, mouseoptions, visually appealing), but I'd like nodern hardware and battery, preferably without frankensteining the entire thing. Modern lenovos are drastically different, not a big fan
>>
Finally the thread is back
I got given an old acer ferrari 4000, has an amd something rather and 1gb ddr1, Whats a linux distro that will run smoothly on it?
>>57117820
The most modern ive been willing to go is a x230, the laptop goes so coolly im able to turn off the fan anf and for me thats a big win

I'm looking for a new chair, my Ikea Markus upholstery is starting to fall apart.
I'm currently between the Humanscale Freedom and the Herman Miller Mirra, pic related.
Anyone got an opinion on either, possibly both ?

Ordering from 2ndhnd?
Just ordered a Steelcase leap v2 friday night, they have yet to ship it though.

>>57116726
It's a 6+ years old chair, with the mechanism a bit worn. Honestly, I'm not that close to my money to want to save desperately a worn-out chair.
>>57116738
Yeah, probably, they have the best prices from what I can find, and they have a pretty good reputation it seems.
Leap V2 is hella expensive though, almost double the price of those.
this is about useless i cant even use it for MPD cause it doesnt have any audio support at all what a joke
