When will freetards learn that the GPL is cancer, and no sane business wants to take on the liability of a software stack they can't monetize by releasing as closed source? It's the only way to make money in software, "next Redhat" be damned. Normies do not care about freedoms, they care about features and functionality, which can be built faster using open source tools, provided a good investment by the company. In turn, the compamy invests back into OSS to multiply their earning potential and write off investments as charitable deductions. Everyone wins except Stallman and the church of Emacs.

GPL might have been useful at one time to get a stack of software working into the complete GNU/Linux OS, but now it's largely obsolete. Prove me wrong /g/.

You should prove yourself right. You didn't provide any data or logically connected statements, you just pulled a pile of shit out of your ass.

>no sane business wants to take on the liability of a software stack they can't monetize by releasing as closed source?
They don't have to like it, it's our right.

>It's the only way to make money in software
Requires demonstration

>Normies do not care about freedoms
Because they don't know it. They care about the freedoms they know.

>In turn, the compamy invests back into OSS to multiply their earning potential and write off investments as charitable deductions.

So the company gets people working basically for free and on top of that reduce taxes.

>Everyone wins except Stallman and the church of Emacs.
And everyone that prizes freedom.

Is there a more plain, sterile and bland experience than a Mac? What it lacks in excitement, it makes up in shinyness and appealing to a sense of vanity.

Anyway, I'm not even going to sell mine - I'm just gonna through it in the trash.

Ok, since /wsr/ seems to be a dead board I'll ask here then.

I just bought a R9 380.

My onboard audio was working just fine until I plugged my new monitor with the HDMI cable. Now it doesn't work even without my monitor conected (I have two, the other one is through DVI-I). Windows is detecting my headset, it shows that it is responding to sounds, but the sound itself isn't outputting.

please, send help.

I AM GOING TO HAVE AN ANEURYSM Anonymous 2016-09-17 00:45:11 Post No. 56638306 [Report] [View this topic]

I have WS2812B LED lights strips with a Mega 2560 Microcontroller made for Arduino and I'm trying to figure out how the actual fuck to get this motherfucker to program the lightstrips to visually synch with music.

I am Googling like a mad man but I'm getting so much conflicting information that I don't understand dick.
• First, I read that I need a microphone or beat sensor part on a breadboard
• Next, I read about just going it from your audio jack
• Then, I read that it's impossible to connect audio jack input to your arduino
• And then, I read that going from your PC is superior to the beat sensor, because it causes cleaner beat detection, which doesn't make fucking sense cause I just read it's fucking impossible multiple times.

I really tried here /g/, but I need help. Does anyone here have any idea what I'm trying to do here?

(I tried cutting open an old pair of earbuds and connecting them to wires for the microcontroller and I'm not getting it to work with code I found designed for 'audio jack' style that allegedly works which leads me to believe I'm fucking retarded).

youre going to need to do a lot more research

i recommend the MSGEQ7 IC which will split audio into frequencies for you and return an amplitude

then you can map different frequencies (probably bass) to different colours

i hope you have programming experience. you should be able to find some hookup diagrams for MSGEQ7 online.

Probably a million ways to do that, but I would put a volt/amp meter in the speaker line and give that to the Arduino, which could vary intensity based on the draw.

>>56638331
this desu

If you're hooking this up to a computer, and have programming experience, here's another thing you can do that puts more of the heavy lifting on the operating system.

If you're on Windows, WinAPI has a way to isolate a program's sound channel iirc. Or you could just use the entire system sound. From there you can get the frequencies and transfer that to the Arduino.

I haven't worked with an Arduino, so I'm not sure what they can do, but the basic flow would be something like:
Operating system software converts sounds to frequencies, then to LED values -> USB CDC transfer LED values to Arduino -> Arduino converts LED values to WS2812B 1-wire voltages and passes them along -> Arduino sends WS2812B 1-wire reset pulse -> Arduino sleeps until a USB OUT transfer interrupts it.

If you did this, you'd want to use an isochronous OUT endpoint for the Arduino so you stay in sync with the audio.

Assuming same price should I get a 1060 or a 480 8gb Anonymous 2016-09-17 00:25:54 Post No. 56638101 [Report] [View this topic]

I see deals all the time for aftermarket 1060s (6gb) and 480s (8gb) at around $220.
Which one should I buy?
I have a i5 2500k and a shitty 560 ti.
I don't want to upgrade until the next generation of VR/4k being viable.
I know the 1060 beats the 480 in dx11 games but aren't most dx11 titles maxed anyways with either of them?
I'm playing at 1080 but would like to upgrade to 1440.

neither a 1060 nor a 480 will be able to play maxed 1440p at 60fps

keep waiting. you have the golden era of i5s. I regret selling my 2500k and upgrading to 6600k.

I'm keeping my cpu. I'm just buying ram, a cpu cooler and a gpu since I can't even play games released in 2014.
