Is it worth upgrading my PC just for Photoshop, or is this program just a bloated piece of shit that will never be fast?
>>55264555
The only reason to use PS over GIMP is adobe file extensions for other adobe products.
>>55264594
Sorry but Adobe Photoshop absolutely obliterates GIMP in everything. Anyone that says otherwise has never used Photoshop.
OP if you're doing professional work then it's worthwhile.

>professional work
Also, the only "professional work" that you need PS for is print media and it's dying. To do your little meme shoops barely needs anything more than MSPaint.
What are your thoughts on wireless headphones? Wanted to get a pair but have no clue what brand or features to look for. Help me out /g/
No.
No.

Change the theme of your distro in under 10 minutes. Go ahead.
When you give up, buy a Mac and use a real OS, poorfags.
>>55264468
pls
>>55264468
>go to settings, select theme, done
why would that take 10 minutes?
Maybe if you are using some old setup where you need to reboot, but even then you have 8 minutes to spare.
>Change the theme of your distro in under 10 minutes
Okay, done. And then I changed it back because I liked what I had.
>When you give up, buy a Mac and use a real OS, poorfags.
A real OS that can't be themed at all? A real OS where the developers, after hearing about a major privilege escalation exploit, take six months to release a patch that doesn't even work? A real OS that doesn't even have an official package manager, and all of its third party package managers suck?
No thank you.
when will Boston Dynamics commercialize their tech?

MiniPupper is awesome, I'd want one.
>>55264446
whenever it can do the dishes for me and not cost over $15,000
i am willing to go to 15k so it can do most basic stuff around house, but not any higher
i hope so, i would get one for my niece.
She's not really popular with other people
Just got a Raspberry Pi 2 model B, give me a project to work on with it.

How long will it take for a third party like MSI to make a better cooled 480? I'm asking if I should get the card day 1 or wait. Hows it been in the past? Is it just like a month or something?
POO
I read I better off with a reference blow-out design card if I have a cramped mini tower, is that true?
What is better for an external hard drive, many small files or view big files?
>>55264091
It doesn't really matter with modern file systems. Single large files will be marginally faster.
fewer files are faster to work with in general, less metadata to handle
when transferring lots of files via a network or external drive, i put them into an archive (ex. tar), to make them a single file
>>55264091
>many small files or view big files
...
but a few big files are generally faster than many small ones
Beginner looking into making a starter home server, mainly for file storage and streaming. What components would be recommended to just start? Motherboard? Processor?
>>55264068
If you don't know, get a mac.
>>55264068
>file storage
anything that can hook up the drives you want to use.
>streaming
if you want to do real-time transcoding then you need CPU grunt, and how much of it you need depends on how many simultaneous users you want to support. If you just want to set up a network share then see the previous item.
>>55264068
Literally any pc with gigabit ethernet. It can even be a laptop or a raspberry pi.
The biggest question is power cost for running it 24/7 and also reliability of the server.
Hey /g/uys
Need a little help
So last night I was shit out drunk and so were my friends and I lost my phone.
And being a uni student I don't have money to buy flagships.
>I was looking into buying GALAXY S5 and putting CM13 as soon as I get it.
How would it hold up now?
Is it worth it?
Long story short:
>Drunk
>Lost Phone
>Need New Phone
>How is Galaxy S5 now?
>Buy or no buy?
Thanks
works fine for me, all I do is 4chan, text, browse forums, play music and general stuff. no lag running cm13. I'm not a smartphone gamer so no comment on that.
Ok I found another problem
Here we get the exynos variant which I heard sucks.
What about that?
>>55263920
If you can't afford a better phone, go for it. I'm currently using an S5 with a CM based ROM and it's a pretty solid experience. Go for it. And don't get the Exynos variant.
Hey, I'm bored of my day-job and in the mood to write a website in C++, but at the moment I've got no idea what to write. Anyone care to bounce some ideas off of me?
Tools / libraries / etc. I plan on using for the project: C++14 (17?) via GCC, debian 64-bit, fastcgi, nginx, postgresql, libpqxx. Scrypt and Let's Encrypt if I start to take the project seriously and need some password hashing / SSL, respectively. I'll use Boost if I come to need it, but I'll avoid it if I can.
Also, if you just want to shit on C++, I guess you can do that here. I enjoy the language, but that's just me and my cup of tea.
>>55263829
>not using C++++
>>55263829
How about you write an app to go fuck yourself
>>55263872
Meh, it's a nice language, but if I'm going to go that route, I'll just go Java and save myself the headache. Where I work, my frontend team uses Java, and the backend team uses C++. I spend most of my time writing C++, but will run around and help the frontend team with Java when they need it.
C# is nice, but I'd rather not go MSFT.
