I haven't built a computer since Nehalem and pretty much forgot all the complicated stuff. Please discus RAM modules with me.
I see that these days, the average DDR4 module does something like 2133/2400MHz with CAS Latency around 15/17ns, so that's about a real latency of 7ns, right? Now, there's also some hektik gamer RAM with aerodynamic heatsinks doing 3200/3600MHz at CL 14/15ns, which averages 4ns.
Now, of course, smaller latencies are better, but I'm not sure whether or not all that shit becomes relevant at all once in a system? The new SkyLake i7 6700K has on its specs sheet a compliance with DDR4-1866/2133, which is, I suppose the "bare minimum" type of DDR4 RAM it will take, but the part that interests me is the max memory bandwidth rated at 34.1 GB/s. What exactly is this number and how does it relate to RAM? I googled a bit but didn't find much. The dumb thing would be to think well the RAM does 3.6GHz, right? So that's pretty much 3.6GB/s. If I have 2 modules, maybe that's supposed to add up to 7.2GB/s to the CPU? In that case, the CPU has way enough room, so no bottleneck here and the faster RAM really will be better?
Additionally, does the motherboard matter at all for this? I'm under the assumption that all of them have the same buses from RAM to CPU, but that might be wrong. The only specs I found on the MSI-Z170A-G45-GAMING for example is:
DDR4 3600(OC)/3200(OC)/3000(OC)/2800(OC)/2600(OC)/2400/2133 MHz, Dual Channel, 4x DIMMSO, 64GB Max
Which really doesn't tell me anything except that yes, it accepts this kind of RAM.
Please enlighten me as to how those numbers relate to each other. I would like to just buy normal valueram because that gamer shit looks terrible and is not practical at all, but I don't want to significantly gimp my new system either.

The entire catalog says otherwised. I'm asking about RAM specs though, not especially for gaming.
I'm a complete idiot but is there any way people can get live shots of my house from the internet with a Google Earth type thing
I don't know anything about technology.
Some online people just sent me some strange messages about my behavior inside my house, including my movement patterns tonight, maybe from the windows? And as such I had a mild panic attack, now I'm just curious how these people are surveiling me
do you have surveillance cameras that you can watch over the web browser?
>>55696958
Yes the NSA has satellites like that
>>55696966
No
there's no other way some could just be looking inside my house? I don't get how they were describing my movements and what I'm wearing.
I don't have any cameras here except and ipad that I haven't been near
What can I do to this card to get it to stop working without someone being able to tell it was tampered with?

What's /g/ opinion on Powershell ?
It has its uses. There's very little reason to write scripts for batch anymore. Legacy support is probably the most notable. Any other way and you're faster off with Powershell.
However if need fast interaction with cli applications then batch is still superior.

more like thanks AMD for being a totally useless as a competitor.
fucking pajeet
>>55696680
$1,200 actually, and considering it's power the price tag is fair
>>55696738
AMD is competing simply by their involvement in the embedded market. Their financial plan doesn't involve making 1500$ gpu's for 0.5% of PC gamers. The pro duo already offers better raw performance for professional workstations, which is an overlapping market of the Titan. What's your point?

Is the Arduino an SBC like the rPi?
Why, or why not?
On another note, what are stronger/better alternatives to a rpi to use as server?
Arduino is just a microcontroller dev board
SBCs refer to fully functional computers
>>55696587
I'd say no. No OS, no display support, so doesn't really fit the standard usage of the term "computer".
Are you on zeronet yet /g/? This could be the next big thing.

I find R anything but comfy to use. It's handy, but I prefer to invoke R bindings from Python instead just to avoid having to deal with that crap
>>55697157
I don't know. Once you start using dplyr it's about the comfiest thing I've worked in.
Because you're a statistician and everything else is shit?
Now that KickassTorrents is dead, I need another good torrent site.
What do you recommend?
I loved the categories (not just "movies" or "videos", but "TV series"; and not just "music", but lossy and lossless music, etc), so that's a must.
Sites with a single search field are absolutely disgusting.
Piratebay looks lazy as fuck (I appreciate the site, of course, but not its design).
>inb4 private tracker
I ain't gonna pay for pirating shit
>>55696471
Also KickassTorrents had a decent community.
You could actually request, rate and discuss torrents.
Its forum was quite good.

How will Nvidia ever recover??
>>55696376
Nvidia does not need to recover from anything, amd need from the constant failing that been going on for years
>>55696376
Thats funny, because the 1060 run cooler and uses less power while getting higher fps
They won't. The portable laptop market will be entirely AMD owned.

Say I have a lot of data (~500Gb). I don't want to carry a hard drive at all time with me. Wouldn't it be a good idea to encrypt it, then upload it on IPFS ? I would just have to carry an USB drive with the decryption key and the links to my files.
>an USB
do you pronounce it as uzzb or some shit?
500gb of what? I can't think of anything that I have that I'd need 500gb of all at once that is always on my person.
It would be a good idea if we were in 2018 but unfortunately IPFS isn't stable enough for that yet, especially on shitty networks.
Also what would be the point to use a program made for being efficient when files are distributed on many nodes if your files are only going to be on a couple of computers? Just serve them with HTTP or something in that case.
Is there a difference between the Blue Snowball and the iCE variant besides the pattern switch and build quality? my friend wants to sell me his iCE for 20 dollars, but if the regular snowball is markedly better im gonna turn him down.
suggestions?
>>55696165
iCE doesnt have the settings on the back and quality is worse imo
All USB mics are garbage so buy it anyway if you're gonna get a USB mic.
I have an iCE and it's fucking terrible.
I checked out TOR and realized it's been broken for years. Even top layer sites have been rambling about how broken it is since 2013 at least.
It seems like Hornet is trying, but at the very least, it looks sketchy. I don't know if there's a secure program or tool that can create a feeling of relative safety for more than a short few months.
How is TOR broken?

Have you seen the massive raids going on.
I mean, it's pretty obvious that the system has been compromised already; after some odd couple hundred totally necessary pedo arrests.
However; a once great /g/man once said that pedos are canaries in the mines, so my nose says that free speech is at risk.
