Is the Radeon HD 6850 a good card? Whats the most graphically intense game that I can get to run off of this card?
That is stupid question.
Better tell us what games do You intend to play. AFAIK, BF4 and Atilla Total War might run on lowest / medium settings at 1080p quite smoothly.
How much video ram? 512 / 1024 / 2048?

Assume you get hit by a bus after the Singularity. If your family downloads your mind into a new, identical (you) wouldn't you still just be dead forever? You wouldn't suddenly just 'wake up' back at home, because the memories and cells downloaded and animated are just copies of the original. Your conscious 'POV' life would be gone. I love Kurzweil and the other tech optimists, but when they bring living forever up, I'm always uneasy. I'm all for using technology to live forever, but wouldn't "backing up your mind" just let your family have a near perfect clone of the still dead (you) or is there some way to actually repair your individual consciousness?

Hey /g/,
I want to set up a home ip security camera network with a decent poe switch that will allow me room to expand, but not break the bank, a server to store the video on, and a system to do compression and possibly motion detection. I'm completely new to this and have been doing some research but can't seem to find anything about how much processing power I'll need for the compression and such as well as general hardware setups. Does anyone know of a good, comprehensive guide for this kind of thing or have any tips on what hardware to get (or maybe just tell me what you have to give me some ideas)?
And to add to this, what kind of DVR software should I use? I've found iSpy. Is there comparable or better software out there, or is this recommend?
I have 4 DLink dcs 5000L cameras and a 4TB NAS for recording storage. The DLink stuff is easy to set up, has motion detection, sends you emails with pictures, live video and audio blah blahh blah.

>decent poe switch
Used Cisco switch with PoE support. You can get a 48 port 100 megabit PoE switch from Ebay for 50 dollars.
>how much processing power I'll need for the compression
Cameras should handle this for the most part. Get used AXIS security cameras off Ebay, their processors have hardware x264 encoding and they let you set the quality as shitty as you want.
I installed W10 fresh on a new SSD as my boot drive. After this I tried adding a new additional SSD forextra storage later on but Windows did not recognise it. Somehow in disk management I thought I'd actually managed to add the additional SSD and it showed up as (E) as having only 500MB of space (the drive is actually a samsung EVO 850 500GB model).
After removing that drive and booting up again, the E drive is still showing. I've realised now that I've actually created an additional partition.
So now I have Disk 0 and CD Rom 0.
Disk 0 reads as Games Disk (E) with 500MB and (C) with however much space it had to begin with. Both are NTFS.
This is annoying me, not only because my new SSD wasn't showing up but because I have an annoying partition that shows up in explorer like a regular drive. How can I remove that annoying new partition?
What should I do? I've tried formatting the new partition and windows refuses to do it. I'm running Windows 10 Home. It's the full retail version, not OEM. Should I just do a clean reinstall again, wipe it all off and be more careful next time? I've not done much with the system since I started it up in the last hour or so
yeah just re install it again and you may want to check of the ass isn't faulty in anyway (can't put files on it/can't take files off it)
>>55655097
>of the ass
I meant if the ssd
>>55655097
>you may want to check of the ass isn't faulty in anyway
What do you mean by ass? You mean ssd?
How would I check that? and if it's faulty can I send it off to the manufacturer and get it replaced?
What does the future hold for drives, 10 years from now?
10 years ago we had much lower space, and prices are great today, but I wonder if, as the world moves towards a dependency on streaming and cloud services, this same improvement won't be repeated the next 10 years... I'm particularly interested in having a laptop with 6-8tb+, (I don't want to deal with external drives for anything other than backups of what I have in that hypothetical computer) but I'm fearing that people's demand may neglect this possibility, since at 1tb most have more than plenty for the rest of their life.

Do you understand that EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF DATA in the world is stored on a hard drive somewhere? Spinning, solid state, doesn't matter.
Everything is on a hard drive.
Are you sure you want to trust other people to hold all your information? Are you an idiot?
Yes, you are. Not even gonna give you an image.
Hopefully no more magnetic spinning shitters.
Every drive should be SOLID STATE NIGGA.
Can't wait to replace those stupid actuators and read/write heads with STURDY SOLID CELLS.
FUCK YOU MAGNETIC DRIVES.

But seriously though Zen better produce some good desktop chips I have wanted to do an all AMD build for over 5 years but have to put it off because they still haven't come out with new architecture for the desktop cpus

It's called survival of the fittest. AMD just produces crap products, Nvidia has been beating them for years now.
>>55654975
>Survival of the fittest
>When AMD always pushes new technologies while Nvidia kikes use shady marketing and payoffs
But keep believing Nvidia has some magic quality that makes them "The brand", good goy.
/g/, explain this to me, because Google has failed me: why is it that with an iPhone you can swap the SIM card at will without having to reboot, while Android phones have to reboot if the SIM card is removed or added at all?
>>55654763
Actually you don't that's phone dependent and not android dependent.
>>55654835
Seriously? That's weird. Any idea why that is?
>>55654763
Entirely dependent on the phone and not tied into the OS. However I think all Windows Phones do need a reboot(most of them do it automatically) if you take out the SIM-card.
Well, it just works and gives you everything you need.

God damn Qt Creator is comfy! Post comfy software!
have a free bump
>>55654711
I am interested in learning C++, is QtCreator (MinGW on Windows) a good place to start?
DrRacket, IDE for the Racket programming language. Best highlighting/tracing of variables/definitions ever.
I'm running a CentOS server and would like to have users be able to optionally login into QEMU virtualized Windows clients using the QEMU vnc display (for matlab--it runs better on windows for whatever reason) using a vnc client.
I'm struggling with the best way to do this--should I trigger QEMU to boot the Windows virtual machine upon login (pass the -t ssh flag with the qemu command) or should I actually have the user connect to the windows qemu client via its vnc server? Is there a way to choose which vnc display is accessed when the user logs in -- either to the native tigervnc centos display or to the qemu Windows VM? Would I need to pass a command to trigger the windows VM to boot up and then subsequently connect to the qemu vnc display? Is there a seamless way to handle this from the user standpoint?
Or is there a better way X-Y way to achieve this that I'm not thinking about (X11 forwarding--although that would require the windows user to install xming)?
I'm also worried about having too many VMs running at once since the CPU is a 12-core Xeon and I'd be assigning 4 cores or more to the VM. Is there a way to let the user decide how many cores to boot the VM with and only assign them if it's available (i.e. job control but with virtual machines).
