why the fuck does Firefox lag so fucking much at my home pc, but works perfectly on my work PC?
what the fuck, the PCs are almost the same spec, firefox at work is ver. 45, at home is the latest.
Same extensions except I have 4chanX and 2 more userscripts at home. Fucking piece of shit starts lagging at like 15 tabs, meanwhile at work I had like 60 tabs opened at one point, didn't even notice
>>56143854
what hardware and OS?
Install Gentoo and the lag will disappear

So will the internet.
So, guys, starting september-october I need a windows laptop. I read about pascal architecture graphics cards, which are supposed to be the shit and I think i'm gonna wait to get the new thinkpad t4xx which should have it.
I know you guys are all over the T420, but it might be a bit too slow in the long run. Nevertheless, I was thinking of getting one and using it for some time until the new one comes out and I can buy it.
do you think the i7 with the nvidia graphics card will run solidworks? Should I upgrade the ram to 8 gigs? what about an ssd? I'm not much of a gamer, I might play some half life or CS, so I don't think I'll need to worry about that

plug 3 ssds on it if you want to go fast and sandy bridge probably it's still going to be relevant in 2020.

I know /g/ probably won't like benchmarks that favor Ubuntu but this shows the 16.10 nightly kicking the fuck out of everything except Clear Linux (Intel's optimized-for-Intel distribution)
Also, distro poll from last week where Ubuntu clearly came out ahead of all distros
http://www.strawpoll.me/10990789/
This is basically the Ubuntu board, all other distros including Gentoo can fuck off
woah i can play MInes 0.002x faster on ubuntu. brb installing it.

Performance clearly matters to most people you colossal fucktard, otherwise no one would upgrade their perfectly-good 2008 hardware.

Not on /g/, you must be new here.
Most /g/entoomen choose distro on political decisions, like systemd, rolling release, source based or whatever.
Canonical keep making retarded decisions for ubuntu, this is why most of us try to avoid *buntu distros.
Where do you acquire information on new technology, /g/? Which tech-related magazines or websites do you read?
Surely you're not getting your information from /g/...right?
/g/ is my only source
In fact 4chan is my only source of information

Are there any mobile app developers (Android/iOS/WP/...) on /g/?
Should we need a Mobile Development General?
Also; I am very new to mobile app development yet also very interested in this so if some anons could help me set my first steps (websites with tutorials, does android studio sucks y/n?, and so on) that would be great
Share your experiences or ideas!
>>56143588
Are you trying to develop yourself or do you work for the man?
I use Cordova, because it's my Company's standard. I'm getting really sick of Javascript, but it means we don't need two dedicated teams for one project. And we can even include windows phone in releases.

What's the best minor to couple with CS?
Mathematics should be a mandatory minor (at least covering calc 1-3, linear algebra and probability, preferably some algebra)
Beyond that, biology or physics
>(at least covering calc 1-3, linear algebra and probability, preferably some algebra)
Almost every CS course has these already.

Gingerbread was the best android version. Prove me wrong. Tip: You can't.
Probably not the best. But maybe the faster.

What is better for carpal tunnel (and other wrist-related injuries) prevention? Trackpoint, touchpad, trackball, vertical mouse, or just regular mouse?
>>56143040
Exercise after work you fat piece of shit.
>>56143040
trackball
/thread
I have carpal tunnel. In order of comfort (as in, least pain/tingly awfulness) I'd personally rate them:
Graphics Tablet > Trackpoint > Trackball > Touchpad > Regular Mouse
With graphics tablet and trackpoint occasionally swapping places. Trackball is the best if you actually want to get work done.
Does the nsa have a device that allows them to trap a hard drive or ssd or ram in a quantum bubble and duplicate the data stored on the memory on a similar device thats entangled with your hardware? I think they do and if they don't then they need to step up their game.
>>56142947
No.
>>56142947
That's impossible to make on a large scale.
>>56142947
I can do it Captain. But I'll need at least 30 minutes.
>there are people on /g/ that doesn't sit in a Herman Miller ®©℗™ Embody ®©℗™ chair.
>>56142940
I fell for the Dxracer mémé, can't wait until it gets old so I can buy a Herman Miller.
>>56142940
I'd consider one at some point, but my 15 year old Aeron is still holding up just fine.
The problem with HM chairs is that they get slightly uglier as they get more comfortable.
The Mirra looks best IMO but doesn't have the mesh back
>>56142983
I beg to differ. The Embody looks fucking amazing, just tested one in white today.

>>56142812
Obviously, look at the fucking specifications. The motherboard is ATX, and the case supports ATX, mITX, mATX, XL-ATX an EATX.
Next time, Google first.
>>56142812
Standard board sizes are itx variants, atx, btx, and their variants. Mini itx will usually fit atx cases (they add more mounts for smaller boards) and btx only fits btx.
Where were you when AMD just BTFO out if Intel?
>https://www.engadget.com/2016/08/18/amd-zen-cpu/
To give us a sense of Summit Ridge's performance, AMD pitted it against a Core i7-6900K, Intel's top-of-the-line 8-core chip (which currently sells for around $1,100), using the Blender rendering benchmark. With both chips clocked at 3Ghz, the Summit Ridge machine managed to finish rendering a scene around half-a-second faster than Intel's processor. AMD had to downclock its competitor from 3.2GHz to make the fight fair, but the benchmark as still a notable win.
>>56142741
>blender
Who cares
>>56142741
I want them to succeed. Especially after the mediocre GPU performance
>AMD has also finally implemented Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT), which lets Zen's cores run multiple threads at the same time (basically, its own version of Intel's HyperThreading).
I guess that's what you should expect from today's tech "writers"... It's not like they'd know the concept of Simultaneous MultiThreading (SMT) is both older as a name and as a term than Intel's implementation and name for it.
