How long until I can power my house with solar power by spending less than 1.5k dollars on the installation?

Never until solar panel installation becomes a profitable thing.
>>
>>55251879
Never, but the good news is that electricity prices will skyrocket if electric cars become a thing, so you should get a solar panel system before everyone else does.
>>
>>55251879
Never. The powers that be want you hooked to their power grid forever. They don't want you to be independent.

Refresh rate framerate bottleneck? 4K

So if I understand correctly, the refresh rate will ultimately decide how many fps will be actually displayed. I.e.g a 60hz display will never display more than 60fps, even if the game or application outputs a higher fps.
Allegedly, 4K TVs claim to have refresh rates up to 240hz and beyond, but these are often enhancements after the fact to make the image appear smoother even if the actual refresh rate is lower. Some say they can not actually display more than 50-60hz at this point.
Then the question is, for someone who want a gaming setup with the smoothest experience and best framerate, is 4K gaming futile at this point? Should one stick with 1080p until displays reach 120hz of actual refresh rate?
Thoughts on refresh rate bottleneck please.

No.
Also because unsupported shit is annoying to deal with. I don't want to run into an issue and only be able to HOPE to find some broken English solution on tonymacx86 or whatever.

That's wrong. There is so much to fuck up. I would do it but it really takes time to set everything up. Even worse than ArchLinux.

It took me hald a day to setup everything and it has been working flawlessly for over 6 months with 2 .x updates already.

Why not one of those celery boards from newegg instead? Similar price but lower power consumption and better performance.

Because 5150 + mobo is 60 and the celeron ones are 90

How do you use a 4k desktop? Do you just manually place windows around the screen?
Is there special software you can use to partition up the screen so that when you maximize a window it'll only take up a portion of the screen instead of all of it?
I think the most idiotic thing you could do with a resolution this big is just maximize your webbrowser over it. It sounds like such a waste of space to me.

So, is the jist of this to have effectively the same amount of screen space as you would on a 1080p display, except double the amount of pixels for better clarity?

Has anyone ever met a software engineer with a few years under their belt who wasn't a bitter asshole? It seems to be almost a requirement at this point.

STEM majors are losers with no social skills, so it's inevitable that they turn out like that.

Finances majors aren't like that. They're mostly sociopaths who would sell their mother for a dollar.

In what ways can you specialize as a JavaScript developer?
Can you be a "D3 data visualization expert"?
Or purely a "Node.js / React" server-side JS developer?

Started saving for a new laptop, but I'm not sure what to buy, I want it to be good at:
>Gentoo
>Developing GPU intensive programs
>Battery time
>maybe a decent keyboard
>Dota2
I don't want key backlight, and I don't care too much about large amounts of memory, but I wan't the available memory to be fast.
Battery time being one of the most important things I want, I looked at LG Gram, and I think the worst thing about it is the average battery time.
As for price, I'm willing to go up to 2K euros.
Thanks in advance.

My HTPC has a dedicated GPU for 1080p and 4k playback.
The CPU could probably manage to do 1080p by itself, but 4k is a stuttery mess without a GTX 960 (dat sweet sweet hardware decoding)
