does the cpu/gpu have to constantly draw still imagery on the screen every frame i.e if you're just sitting at your desktop doing nothing or do the images stay on the monitor as is until something tells it to do otherwise? i assume it's the latter because of the nature of freezes/hangs, but i could be wrong

What's thet from? I know it's based on Ed Edd and Eddy, but more exactly?
>>
to not go into too much detail;
the gpu contains the contents of the screen (the pixels) in a segment of memory called the framebuffer, this framebuffer is drawn to the screen constantly (related to "refresh rate", which i imagine you're familiar with)
freezes/hangs occur elsewhere, and has to do with when software changes the contents of said framebuffer, if software stop updating the framebuffer, the image on-screen appears to stop, but the framebuffer is still being sent to the screen consistantly
if the gpu stops sending the framebuffer, even momentarily, the display will lose sync, and will blank or show garbage (this doesn't happen unless your gpu is really fucked)
>>
>>55220197
and to try to make an analogy;
imagine a camera pointed at a whiteboard
now imagine the camera is the display, and the whiteboard is the framebuffer
the camera is constantly sampling the whiteboard, and will mirror anything drawn on the board (by software)
if the person/software stops drawing to the board, that doesn't prevent the camera from sampling the board, even though the picture didn't change

How come /g/ shits on prebuilt PCs while having no problems with laptops? They're basically the same thing, except laptops give you even less freedom.

Because if you want something portable you basically have no choice than to buy a laptop, unless you suffer severe autism and try building one.
>>
because building a desktop computer is easy, so you have no excuse for not building one.

>no problems with laptops?

/g/ hates the following

-HP anything
-Non XPS Dell
-XPS Dell (500 charge cycles total rating)
-Macbook Airs
-Post IBM Thinkpads
-Gayman Laptops
-Razer Laptops (sub genre of gayman laptops)
-Surface Pro's (not book, though that hinge is hilarious.

So your statement is basically retarded. /g/ hates everything. /g/ is not one person.

I am planning to upgrade to a 6600k and I was wondering what are some good features that justify paying extra for a motherboard.

right now I am planning to buy this one just because I have always bought Asrock motherboards and it has pretty good reviews regarding overclocking.

http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Fatal1ty%20E3V5%20Performance%20GamingOC/

this motherboard + Xeon E5 1230 v5

only motherboard that allows BCLK overclocking on v5 Xeons,and that Xeon is inexpensive and equals 6700K overclocked,1220 v3 is the i5 of the series

How much bandwidth do you use, anon ?
How is life with a data cap ?
39 posts and 12 images submitted.
>>
at home i around 500gb per month.
but i have a seedbox for uploading, otherwise my traffic would be higher. no datacap.

on my phone i use 4gb per month, i set it to disable the internet once i hit the cap.

what are you doing with 2.5tb of data every month, op? just movies and stuff or actual work?
>>
>>55219327
Everything. I have a reasonably fast connection, so I host my own cloud service, seed all my torrents off my home connection, stream movies, work, and the list goes on.

I've been thinking about ditching my VPS and moving my webserver to my home connection too, but I'm thinking I should probably get a dedicated machine of some sort for that. Maybe a NUC.
>>
>>55219415
>moving my webserver to my home connection
madman

i'm still browsing with a 16mbit connection, i feel like i'd use a lot more traffic if i had a faster connection. hd movies for example. i have enough storage, but with a connection this slow i can't justify downloading 20gb for a single movie.

Hey /g/ I have a question...

How could someone hack an email and password, and then use that to find out other emails accounts connected to the first one.

Like say if I foolishly emailed someone and they replied back, but sent the message to another email account of mine?

No reason... Just curious... :/

your scenario doesnt even make sense.
so "hacking" is way over your head.

Winbaby version of sqlite. When you want more than a spreadsheet or json file but less than a fully fledged RDBMS.

If you want a laptop solely for desktop and never intend to use it for vidya, then Intel.

If you want it for light gaming get a laptop with a AMD apu, not sure of the models, but other anons will be able to link you to the latest chips
