If it is 450 for the whole computer then you'll probably want a celeron or an amd 4/6 core.
If it's $400 for the cpu alone get a 6800k

Yeah, 450 for the cpu alone

Get whatever Intel Unlocked CPU is at that price-point then.

Hi /g/, I'm about to move into a new flat and I've got a fairly large sum on money to work with, me and my girlfriend are both earning and we've got basically no outgoing expenses besides rent/bills so suffice it to say, I've got enough to have fun with on the technology front.
SO, what I want to do, is get a few things set up and I wanted to see what ideas you lot had for solutions to these.
First:
4k TV, minimum 32inch, ideally 37-40inch, 120fps would be awesome but I'd settle for 60fps (yeah I know I'm not getting 120fps 4k, but if it was capable of 60fps 4k, 120fps 1080p/1440p, that would be ideal).
I then want to set up a streaming solution for that TV so I can stream to it directly from my PC. But I want to do this from a PC in another room with plenty of walls in the way, AND my internet connection isn't likely to be that great, between 8 and 12mbps.
So, I'm thinking there must be a solution where I can do that via the local network or ideally via ethernet so I don't I have to worry about the internet being needed to do so. Not sure how possible that is but in theory two devices should be able to link over the same network without that network needing to be connected to the internet at all right?
And then of course a speaker system to go with that TV... nothing tooo over the top. I value making the place look neat so I don't want a huge surround sound system, I want good quality and minimal space usage.
I'm also open to any suggestions for where I can burn some money on technology that you'd want if you had a brand new flat to play with.
So yeah, have at it.

Toshiba Chromebook 2. No lies or memes. 90% of your time you'll be taking notes, using Internet for accessing online school sites/books. And occasionally going on social media or YouTube on your down time. The CB I mentioned has
>13.3" 1080p screen
>16GB m.2 ssd storage that is replaceable if you really need to
>Decent keyboard
>4GB ddr3
>Intel Celeron dual core
>microSD slot
>minimum 10 hours battery life on its 3 cell.
Including a 128GB microSD card, I spent $330 for everything brand new. Unless you'll be needing specific programs native to Windows only, the only correct answer is a chromebook in that price range. Where else are you going to get all of what I mentioned above for $300 or less brand new?
/g/ will have you buy a thunkpad used. Questionable battery life. Mediocre screen at best. It's only saving grace is its keyboard. If you don't NEED Windows, CB is the way to go.
>I own both the Toshiba Chromebook 2 and a T420 with i7/16GB ddr3 running Linux. For basic use, the CB is leaps amd bounds better.

>ANDY RUBIN IS an inveterate tinkerer and coder. The cocreator of the Android operating system, Rubin is notorious in Silicon Valley for filling his workplaces and home with robots. He programs them himself. “I got into computer science when I was very young, and I loved it because I could disappear in the world of the computer. It was a clean slate, a blank canvas, and I could create something from scratch,” he says. “It gave me full control of a world that I played in for many, many years.”
>Now, he says, that world is coming to an end. Rubin is excited about the rise of machine learning—his new company, Playground Global, invests in machine-learning startups and is positioning itself to lead the spread of intelligent devices—but it saddens him a little too. Because machine learning changes what it means to be an engineer.
>“People don’t linearly write the programs,” Rubin says. “After a neural network learns how to do speech recognition, a programmer can’t go in and look at it and see how that happened. It’s just like your brain. You can’t cut your head off and see what you’re thinking.” When engineers do peer into a deep neural network, what they see is an ocean of math: a massive, multilayer set of calculus problems that—by constantly deriving the relationship between billions of data points—generate guesses about the world.

>Artificial intelligence wasn’t supposed to work this way. Until a few years ago, mainstream AI researchers assumed that to create intelligence, we just had to imbue a machine with the right logic. Write enough rules and eventually we’d create a system sophisticated enough to understand the world. They largely ignored, even vilified, early proponents of machine learning, who argued in favor of plying machines with data until they reached their own conclusions. For years computers weren’t powerful enough to really prove the merits of either approach, so the argument became a philosophical one. “Most of these debates were based on fixed beliefs about how the world had to be organized and how the brain worked,” says Sebastian Thrun, the former Stanford AI professor who created Google’s self-driving car. “Neural nets had no symbols or rules, just numbers. That alienated a lot of people.”
>The implications of an unparsable machine language aren’t just philosophical. For the past two decades, learning to code has been one of the surest routes to reliable employment—a fact not lost on all those parents enrolling their kids in after-school code academies. But a world run by neurally networked deep-learning machines requires a different workforce. Analysts have already started worrying about the impact of AI on the job market, as machines render old skills irrelevant. Programmers might soon get a taste of what that feels like themselves.
>>
>“I was just having a conversation about that this morning,” says tech guru Tim O’Reilly when I ask him about this shift. “I was pointing out how different programming jobs would be by the time all these STEM-educated kids grow up.” Traditional coding won’t disappear completely—indeed, O’Reilly predicts that we’ll still need coders for a long time yet—but there will likely be less of it, and it will become a meta skill, a way of creating what Oren Etzioni, CEO of the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence, calls the “scaffolding” within which machine learning can operate. Just as Newtonian physics wasn’t obviated by the discovery of quantum mechanics, code will remain a powerful, if incomplete, tool set to explore the world. But when it comes to powering specific functions, machine learning will do the bulk of the work for us.

Hey /g/ probably undereducated anon here, trying to get into some tier 1/entry-level IT jobs. I'm definitely not as well versed/smart as the majority of /g/ but was wondering if you guys could lend some insight on one thing I see on resumes that has been bothering me. Concerning networking and OS troubleshooting, most apps will have a very general "working knowledge of Windows x,y,z/working knowledge of networking/troubleshooting of windows software" and I just get hung up on how broad that knowledge has to be. I don't want to let a potential employer down, I just want to get a job and learn but this kind of stuff throws me off.
Any SysAdmins or helpful anons that could just give a bit of background on what most people are looking for by that or what kind of knowledge they're actually looking for?

Explain.

Half of the people i talk to say to flush caches, or not to install things like fb messenger/snapchat.
A further half say that the phone lags intolerably no matter what.

If the anonymous collective hivemind worked together to develop a new OS, what would it look like?
How would the code be licensed: GPL-style, BSD-style, or some kind of contrarian go-fuck-yourself license?
What would the kernel look like: monolithic (Linux, BSD), hybrid (HURD), microkernel (Minix3, L4)? Would it be forked or would we develop our own?
What kind of compatibility layers would it have: POSIX, Windows?
What would be the guiding principles for this OS: privacy, security, reliability, portability, performance, interoperability?

Welcome to /fglt/ - Friendly GNU/Linux Thread.
Users of all levels are welcome to ask questions about GNU/Linux and share their experiences.
*** Please be civil, notice the "Friendly" in every Friendly GNU/Linux Thread. ***
Before asking for help, please check our list of resources[*].
If you would like to try out GNU/Linux you can do one of the following:
0) Install a GNU/Linux distribution of your choice in a Virtual Machine using VirtualBox or other software made for this puporse for safety purposes.
1) Use the Live ISO (if your distribution of choice has one) to boot directly into the GNU/Linux distribution without installing anything, that way, you can get to experience the GNU/Linux operating system without installing it.
2) Dual boot the GNU/Linux distribution of your choice along with Windows or macOS, this is recommended if you want to know more about the GNU/Linux operating system.
3) Go balls deep and replace everything with GNU/Linux.

I don't think xeons support multiplier overclocking (not sure, too lazy to check), in which case a z series motherboard is a waste of money. Also, I don't really get the whole xeon for a desktop thing, why get that over a desktop processor?
But the computer should be decent regardless.

The Xeon 1231 is basically an i7 4690 without integrated graphics, and it's $100 cheaper than the i7, hence why I bought it over the i7.

Those are not pad specs but you dont plan on playing 4k resolution I hope. It would play games fine enough 1080p though. But dont expect to turn up any graphics settings.
>>
That isn't a great price. My Alienware with similar specs (970m and 32 GiB 2400 MHz RAM) was 500 dollars cheaper. I spent about 300 to upgrade the ssd to a 950 Pro after the fact but it still came out cheaper.
>>
>>56184585
(OP here) no I don't plan on playing 4k gaming as that could really lag the system. So 1080p is fine?
