Hello /g/entoomen.
Would you say it is worth upgrading a PC that carries a 2nd generation i7 processor?
I was thinking about upgrading to SSD+new GPU and expand RAM to 16 or 32.
I want to edit 3d and videos.
Pic is current specs. 5 years old..

Yeah, upgrade it.
It is still decent as a daily driver.
It is still enough powerful for 3d.
>>
>>55537147
Yeah I would like to say that as well, motherboard should have 2 free spaces for RAM still. And GPU is quite lame.
So SSD + Maybe another Harddrive for storage since mine seems fucked.
I was looking at getting another 8 GB of RAM, or 16?
Or the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 960?
Or is that the meme card?
Looking at Samsung Evo 850 series 250 GB SSD and 16 GB RAM I think 1600 MHz Vengeance Pro from Corsair!

Yes?
No?
Maybe?
Depends what you're looking to do with the system. Does the task relate to google?
If so, yes. If not, no.
Why did you make this thread?

I use microG. And no.
I need to use a modded old version of hangouts though .
It's on the xda microg thread.

Is Mint still relevant to use as the baby's first GNU/Linux after using windows since forever?

Yes, that or Ubuntu but Mint is closer to Windows UI.

Mint/Ubuntu are easy as fuck to use

Definitely use Ubuntu. As things progress I think you should move on to Debian. Try out different distros in Virtualbox to see what you like.

whats better in monitors for gaming: the IPS or whatever the bright screen technology is called or higher refresh rate? As far as i know high refresh rate is useful for CSGO or some other fast shooter, kinda seems useless for playing singleplayers and such no?

Why would you get a high refresh rate why the human eye can only see 24 pepes per second?
>>
>>55536367
Neither. Just get the cheapest monitor you can find.

It's like buying a £6000 golf club set when you're not a professional.
It makes very little difference to you and unless you have nothing better to spend it on it's a waste of money.

hey /g/ im looking to upgrade my single 1920x1200 monitor to something new with higher resolution. I only have space for a single monitor on my current desk setup. I'll eventually be buying a GTX 1080 to drive it with. I've been looking at ultrawides or a single 2560x1440 monitor. I haven't considered 4k as I don't feel a single 1080 has the grunt for it. What would you guys recommend. Its predominantly for productivity and work with a bit of gayman.

well IMO going from standard 1200 to to standard 144 is not worth it currently. Maybe ultra wide is. But I would hold to 1200 for some time until some nice reasonably priced Well at least the resolution is not your only problem.
OLEDs screens come out.

If this card doesn't deliver performance around R9 380 or GTX960 then it's shit. Because can easily buy used cards for less than get more.

Seems I'm allergic to mouse pads.
Getting dermatitis on the part of the hand that sometimes touches my plastic cloth pad.
Anyone here had this problem? What do?
Get a different mousepad? I have an optical mouse, don't know if hard mouse pads work well with it

Have you considered getting a trackball mouse? I believe it's one of many solutions to your problem. How about getting a modeled made from a different material? Consider making sure it's not just some other thing that's causing this. Maybe just go without the mousepad, and use your mouse on the desk.
>>
optical mice work on anything. the only purpose of the pad is to protect your desk and lower the friction for easier moving
>>
>>55536283
I'm pretty sure it is the mousepad, it happened the same 2 years ago when I was using a different mouse pad, still cloth.
Desk doesn't work at all, mouse seems to track perfectly on an old diary cover I have but it's really tiny.
I think an hard pad wouldn't cause this reaction on my skin, I went to amazon to find one and first review said it wouldn't work well with optical mice, and linked another soft cloth pad for optical use.
So I did some googling but I'm getting very mixed results.
Trackball could work but I'm so used to normal mice and I think it wouldn't be as fast and accurate, I'd like to try solving the pad problem

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH STALLFUCK?
>There are organizations that proclaim support for free software or the GNU Project, and teach classes in use of nonfree software.
>It's possible that they do some other things that really support free software, but those classes certainly don't. On the contrary, they work directly against the free software movement by promoting the use of the nonfree software.

You see, Linus and the most of open-source motley crew want to make open-source popular and better (because popular things have better support, more contributors etc.). They care about the quality and want to make technology better.
But Stallman and staledrones think quality is secondary and popularity is tertiary. The most important thing is ***free as in freedom*** software, even if it sucks. They're paranoid tinfoil hat wearing manchildren who think that this one binary blob required to make your wifi driver work is a NSA tracking program harvesting informations about their unusual porn collection to blackmail them in case of them becoming presidents, revolutionaries, CEOs of big companies or something.

Is upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10 still worth the effort and botnet?

It's alright, I quite like it aside from its intrusiveness but we hashed it out at work and we're doing a phased rollout as and when we buy new machines. going through the hassle of rolling out upgrades isn't worth it.

So we've established that the Android 'hotdog' menu was a retarded design choice.
The solution was apparently to copy the iOS menu but put it on the top of the screen (as FaceBook does here);
I'm writing an app for both iOS and Android with React (so using the same code).
Is there a design that works for both platforms so I don't have to write OS specific code?

Where do people get new music that doesn't suck these days? I don't even remember the last time I heard a new song I actually liked and I'm sick of the same old crap I've heard a gazillion times. And, well, I'm so out of touch with what people use to get music these days that, (unless you count YouTube, which doesn't really cut it for me,) that the last time I was using what everyone used to get music, it was iTunes.
