why would they sell you future proof hardware now idiot, when they can sell it to you again at a later point??

There are more things on heaven and earth than are dreampt about in your philosophy, Anon...

Can you give an example of such site? I guess maybe you're not allowed to link it but you could at least give name.

I thought it couldn't get any more hideous after OP's post but thanks again for proving me wrong, /g/!

>>55837115
And what's so hideous about it, dipshit?

I've been using Win10 for two and a half years now, almost.

Admittedly, it's a vastly different beast to what is called Win10 now but still. I do technically use Win10 and it's great!

Regret it now.
Actively researching what Linux distro to install in another tab.
Feel like a loser.

You could have waited anon...

But yeah, I get it. I'm getting ridiculously impatient for Zen, too. I'm sure that 6700k will be just fine come Zen time. It won't be obsolete or anything, for sure.

bad move senpai. AMD's FX serioes was the last generation of AMD CPUs that do not include their flavor of IME botnet - the PSP


AMD Platform Security Processor (PSP) #amdpsp

This is basically AMD's own version of the Intel Management Engine. It has all of the same basic security and freedom issues, although the implementation is wildly different.

The Platform Security Processor (PSP) is built in on all Family 16h + systems (basically anything post-2013), and controls the main x86 core startup. PSP firmware is cryptographically signed with a strong key similar to the Intel ME. If the PSP firmware is not present, or if the AMD signing key is not present, the x86 cores will not be released from reset, rendering the system inoperable.

The PSP is an ARM core with TrustZone technology, built onto the main CPU die. As such, it has the ability to hide its own program code, scratch RAM, and any data it may have taken and stored from the lesser-privileged x86 system RAM (kernel encryption keys, login data, browsing history, keystrokes, who knows!). To make matters worse, the PSP theoretically has access to the entire system memory space (AMD either will not or cannot deny this, and it would seem to be required to allow the DRM "features" to work as intended), which means that it has at minimum MMIO-based access to the network controllers and any other PCI/PCIe peripherals installed on the system.

Furthermore, multiple security vulnerabilities have been demonstrated in AMD firmware in the past, and there is every reason to assume one or more zero day vulnerabilities are lurking in the PSP firmware. Given the extreme privilege level (ring -2 or ring -3) of the PSP, said vulnerabilities would have the ability to remotely monitor and control any PSP enabled machine. completely outside of the user's knowledge.

If I don't upgrade now, I will have to eventually.

I don't like it, but I've pretty much accepted the fact that botnet is built into literally everything, these days. All we can really do, at this point, is pretend we have an actual influence in politics, and hope, one day, the machine finally comes crashing down. Hopefully sooner, rather than later, considering how deep in the shit Hillary and the entire DNC is, right now.

>/v/ is objectively shit. But gaming is not /v/ and /v/ is most of the time not evn about gaming but about lonely spergs trying to one-up one another for pathetic ego boosts.

This. I'm a gaymer but I don't visit /v/ at all because it's total shit.

Spergs on /g/ need to realize that in order to play games, you need to have tech, and this is the place to discuss that tech.

>>55836735

It all stems from making a virtue of necessity.

Linux can't play games:

>Good thing that I didn't want to play games anyway, games are for manchildren and people who failed at life.

Linux can't support high end mouses or keyboards:

>Good thing that I didn't want one of those anyway. They're expensive hardware for retards and people who game, and we all know that people who game have something wrong in the head.

Linux doesn't support standard-of-the-industry software such as AutoCAD, Photoshop, After Effects, et cetera:

>Good thing that I'm not a stupid faggot that decided to study architecture. All those people's careers are inferior, And what's up with all of them using Windows? Are they gaymers or something? HAHAHAHA retarded manchildren gaymers BTFO, Linux - 1, Gaymers - 0.

GNU software sucks at GUIs, if it even has a GUI to begin with:

>But why does the stupid retarded Winbaby want a GUI in the first place? Why do you want a thing that gives you information at a glance when instead you can use three different commands to retrieve 20 lines of information with each one and then read those lines to find the one thing you wanted to know? Are you autistic or something? A GUI would consume like 30MB of RAM, Don't you mind about efficiency at all stupid retard? Do you need your RAM for gaming or something? Wincucks BTFO!

>>55837023

but there's gaming on linux anon. It might not be as versatile as on windows. High-end gaming mouses and keyboards hardly describe the average gamer.

xp runs like a dream compared to vista m8.

>>55836689
I know that.

Which is why I'm so confused about it. People said Vista crashes every fucking week and here I am running an 8 year old installation and yet to see a single error message/blue screen

Not a single problem in fact I would use it over any other system on the market in fact im throwing away gforce 1080

An old comfy office chair without it's back because the iron piece inside of the tube got bent really hard and chipped.

>_____ are technology
at least make a consistent subject shortcode so people that want to talk about technology (and not furniture, or wristbands, or pens) can hide them and not be annoyed by this shit whenever it pops up

I have been curious about this too. Mainly for how well it's been developed in terms of custom programming. I've been waiting for like 6 years to finally explore skyrim through vr.

I will say right now it's probably nothing too exciting game other than to build the market for vr. Now that its a consumer product we will see more companies compete etc. In my opinion if you can afford it it's probably worth just to play around with to get a taste, but there will be better versions I feel in the next year or two.

>>55836374
just porn, but even that ain't that gr8.

VR needs some really fucking good games if it wants to stay alive.
