Is a late 2012 Mac Mini with an i7 for $1000 a better value than a brand new Mac Mini with an i5 for $1100?
>>56510851
Yes cause the later ones have dual core i5.
>>56510851
A non-apple alternative is way better value
>>56510875
I guess my real question is: why is an older i7 (with a lower clock speed) better than a newer i5 (with a higher clock speed)?
>>56510888
I need it for work.
We joke around on here and on Slashdot about women and minorities, but when I use my Twitter account (I just lurk) I see nothing but leftist virtue signalling faggots, and lots of fags with (((brackets))) around their names.
Is working in software a total PC POZ fest? I am in 4th year CS. Right now, I have one friend I can discuss politics with, who is also CS. Am I going to have to hide all of my political views once I start working? Right now, I am libertarian and alt-right. I've never fashed things up in public before. I usually just avoid discussing politics or pretend to be a moderate leftist on social media so no one bothers me.
Will I have to pretend to be a full on, koolaid guzzling cuck if I work in tech as a software engineer? That's my most likely career.

In general, yes.

No one cares about your political opinion as long as you keep it to yourself.

SJWs never do that.
why is a keyboard and mouse so expensive now? gamer branding is the worst
mechanical keyboards with custom ricer keycaps are worse than any gamer brand. gamer stuff is for teenage boys, they have a right to exist. these mechanical keyboards are for adult manchildren and autists, they should be purged. don't encourage autists.
Just get a Logitech MK120.
>>56510918
This. Probably the best mouse and keyboard by a long shot.

Fun to play with, listen to air traffic control, track planes, listen to the signal of your neighbour's wireless doorbell and repeat it to fuck with em.
You can also listen in on the wireless signal of your power/water meter at home, if it has that of course.

Literally 1,000,000,001 ways to get all that audio content on a $25 raspberry pi (which has nearly 4 times the processing power of that thing), and you want an expensive fancy toy which could only be used for this single purpose.

https://www.rt.com/usa/358728-anonymous-trial-steubenville-rape/
An Anonymous hacker who helped expose the gang rape of a teenage girl in Steubenville, Ohio, is facing up to 16 years in prison, but her attackers are already roaming free.
Deric Lostutter pled not guilty to four felony counts of hacking on Wednesday, with three covered under the Reagan-era Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.
It’s the same law used to go after Reddit founder Aaron Swartz for downloading academic papers. Swartz later committed suicide at age 26.
"You get 16 years for forcibly entering your way into a computer, but you get one year for forcibly entering your way into a woman," Lostutter said. "I think that's the precedent the government is setting here."

I'm certain that there're still warehouses in Shenzhen just chock full of 4:3 laptop screens. What's to stop the chinks from releasing a 4:3 laptop with modern specs? I'd buy it.

No one else would though.

why is Mint getting so much hate in this board? it is the distro I use and I'm happy with it so far
>>56510337
because like most boards on 4chan, its full of autists, and they find a sense of superiority in using less popular distros.
>>56510337
wasn't mint the one that had their download server popped and their downloads backdoored?
Doesn't exactly inspire confidence

Once OLED/microLED become the norm you'll probably see it more. Apple, Google, and MS are all working on dark themes to support this once the hardware becomes an industry standard.

nnedi3 has to be some heavy fucking placebo. I can't see the difference unless I upscale a still image and look hard as fuck.
Why bother degrading the performance to the point where it has problems playing the video at acceptable framerates for a almost unnoticeable "improvement" in upscaling?
>>56510158
nnedi3 was never made to do real-time upscaling to 1080p+. Its original use case was for deinterlacing shit.
>>56510158
It looks very good with animes and cartoons!
