i dunno for sure as i havent used it for long enough but clover has no 4chan ads.. is this illegal? or not really? is it ok to use someone elses website like that?
could i make a 3rd party app for the newyorktimes with no ads?
>>56337424
they do not.
What ads?
hiroshimoot runs malware ads. I often redirect people who get these malware ads on their phones to use Clover.
Hi I generally build a computer about every 5 years and this has served me well because technology used to leap on pretty far in 5 years.
These days this doesn't seem to be the case except with developments in SSDs and GPUs.
I remember shit like 386, 486, pentium, cyrix, amd architecture jumping from 33hz to 1ghz+ within the 5 years or so of my teenage years. At the moment it seems pretty worthwhile to upgrade if someone is junking an older system.
Last machine I build was an 8gb ram i5 2500k with a 5 something series nvidia gpu. It lasted pretty well and got a minor upgrade with a SSD for booting about a year ago with the rest of the storage moving to some faster (7,200 over 5,600) mechanical drives.
Recently I realised it sucked for gaming anything modern above 800x600 and swapped out the gpu for a gtx1060. I usually play games a few years behind schedule anyway so it wasn't a problem until recently.
Anyway, I'm thinking about if it would be worth swapping out the i5 for an i7 2700k which is the best chip that the board can take. This is quite an expensive upgrade as I'm having to pay a premium for second hand previously top of the range chips. Might work out cheaper to change the board and get something with 3rd generation architecture, but I don't know enough about it, would be a lot of research.
The i5 2500k vs i7 2700k stacks up as CPU Mark 6441 vs 8805. I don't know if this is the bottle neck or not or if it would make a significant difference. I could also increase the ram to 16gb?
In terms of cost the ram is about 50, the gpu was about 130 and the cpu will be similar. What is best bang for buck besides install gentoo?
>>56337395
I can't speak for your issue, but I know for my usage (likely different then yours) RAM has been the common bottle neck.
One thing you could do is do some stress testing. So if you concern is gaming, go play a game on the highest settings you got then look at you system usage. If the GPU or CPU is maxing out or getting too hot, then that likely your bottle neck (better cooler could also help, but better chips run cooler anyway). If the RAM is maxed and you got a lot of swapping/paging, then RAM is a limitation.
Just to make things complicated
>[And likely part of a huge conspiracy to get people to buy more computers]
newer games and software are often optimized for the newer architecture. So despite having a powerful older computer, the newer software may not be taking full advantage of it like it would for a newer one with lower specs.
At this point I am tempted to just buy a cheap computer that meets my needs at trash it every few years as the gant of software and hardware is so messed up now. I really just want a nice net book with 16GB of RAM, I'll look at getting a real computer once I have a real need again. I invested big in a 2010 model and it no longer does what I like, although it is far from broken.
That doesn't answer your question but I hope is helps, Also next time put this under a /sqt/ thread.
>>56337576
Cheers for the reply irrespective.
I can price the 2700k which will fit the same board and cooler as I'm currently running for about 130. 36% increase in processing power. Doesn't seem like a great deal to be honest and sounds in your experience to not really extend the lifespan of this machine.
I can get an i7 3970X which has a CPUmark of 12,660 for about 180, but I'd need a new board and cooling. This would be a 96% increase in processing power. As an 'upgrade' half the cost of the whole system and I'm bringing in 2012 era technology. I can see your point entirely and again, the future will likely not be optimised.
Of course the top of the line 6700k current generation i7 chip puts up a rating of only 10,992 and costs over 300. I'd need a new board as well. Doesn't make any sense except for maybe 20-30W of TDP.
Development is clearly stagnant and they are trying to find alternate ways to push consumer demand. Thanks race to the bottom.
My 5820k when OC'd hits like 14.5-15,000 in passmark
I paid $290 for it about 8-10 months ago.
I upgraded from a Q6600 though, well worth it for me, I skipped over the DDR3 generation entirely.

Ransomware hasn't been a huge issue for quite some time now, it's hyped up as fuck. There has been like 2 or 3 cases where it was huge but other than that it's not that hard to deal with and anti viruses are starting to get better at detecting it.
>>56338140
Tell that to the users in the company I work at.
The fake emails they send are pretty good at first glance.
Polymorphic ones are a bitch to detect too.
Pic related started happening to my girlfriends Mac.
I did a format and factory reset, but the problem is still there.
Any ideas on what the problem is, and how to fix?
>>56337319
Oh also, my guess is that the hard drive is dying, and it's scrambling the data as its being read.
This sound plausible?
Buy a new Mac.

No one has been safe since the PATRIOT act allowed indefinite detention, unwarranted spying and sanctioned concentration camps.
But nobody cares about all that, so why would they care about this?

This is why on high value machines you glue the USB slots and prevent physical access. This has been standard fair for high security machines for over six years.
I think I have carpal tunnel syndrome from using the trackpad too log at a bad angle. Europa Universalis did what years of typing couldn't.
My wrist has been twinging for three days, even as I use my left hand for everything. I'm not sure if it'll go away of its own accord.
How do you deal with it?
I ask because this place has to be carpal tunnel central, and because normie places will say, "only doctors know how to stop pain. Go ask a surgeon if paying him to do surgery on you is a good idea, he has your best wallet at heart."
>>56337204
You'd be surprised how you are judged on the quality of your pic.
Same here OP. Here are some things that helped me.
I exercise my hands while I am reading (inb4 masturbating) and using a wired mouse helps.
There is an app called XMouse that lets you use your phone as a mouse and keyboard, and is quite comfy for me.
>>56337316
Probably. I just googled "bend wrist laptop."
>>56337357
What kind of exercises? I thought my wrist was out of commission for most things.
At the moment, I'm typing using my left hand and right thumb, moving the entire right arm from the elbow and shoulder.
Starting to see the appeal of a tablet.
What's the best file manager with network share support for Android? I tried Total Commander and can't seem to find any way to copy files over network shares. I also tried File Commander but it has a huge fucking advert to 'upgrade' to the paid version.
>>56336990
Give into the chinese botnet and use ES File Explorer
>>56337162
Yeah I was using that but heard bad shit about it so uninstalled.

My upgrade is tommorow, not sure what to get.
I like andriod, but I'm not sure what to get. I want wireless charging, but I heard that it gets the connection for that gets weak after while.
Are you interested in rooting and in the US? Avoid Samsung AT ALL COSTS and Avoid LG unless you have T-Mobile.
>>56336793
>guy likes wireless charging
>obviously a normie
>are you interested in rooting
of course he's not.
just get a samsungtm galaxy s7 edge
>>56336793
Yeah, I would like to root. I also would like stock andriod on my phone. I didn't know there was a problem with rooting when it comes to samsung, I also have verizon btw. (ik its a shit carrier but its wha my family has so). im interested in the htc 10.
Been making a simple app using this as part of my 6 week Internship, it's pretty straightforward for newfags.
I know it's pretty much meme software but does Anyone have any workplace experience using this? Or more worked with it on more advanced projects?

It has database management in it yes, but it allows you to create fully functioning apps as part of it.

>>56336591
>not buying second hand parts (and applying new thermal paste if CPU or GPU) except for storage devices
disgusting

Atleast get an AKG headset.
If you're going to spend atleast spend it well.
so i am a person who never really pirated a lot, even when i was young, because i love collecting.
i have used KAT a few times in the past to check out some expensive books before i physically buy them,
but since kat is no more, where do i go for books?
i tried pirate bay, but had no real success in finding anything.

Hello /g/!
So I am falling for the SSD meme, what does /g/ thinks about this one?
Pros:
* price: 75€, 256gb
* amazon warranty (if it fails, i'm gonna get a new one for free)
* good size
Cons
* ???
Thank you /g/uys!
>>56336434
The most important factor in SSDs are write/read speed and you haven't mentioned those.

the most important factor is whether or not it's synchronous.
