I am just kind of toying with the idea of moving from 1080p to 4k gaming. I am wondering if the cost of 4k right now is worth the experience or if I should wait a bit.

Worth it?
When is this shit ever "worth" anything?

>graphics card(s)
>good games
>money
Look at the first three and consider how much of the fourth you're willing to part with.
"Worth it" for you?
Just do it.

1440p 144hz is better

Hi /g/
I want to get into iPhone app development but I don't have a mac for xcode/swift
I'm not trying to spend a lot of money just to be able to develop for jewple so I was wondering what model mac would be the most efficient price-wise for my needs. I would like something powerful enough to run xcode smoothly for the next few years.
I was also considering building a hackintosh for this, but I don't know how this would affect development. If anyone has any information or experience with this kind of thing, please share
Thanks
The sweet spot for price and performance is the MacBook Pro.
If you want a desktop model you can get a 4K iMac.

What's the oldest model pro that will run el capitan?
Just run OSX or macOS in a god damned VM, much simpler, works just fucking fine (doesn't provide the 3D graphics unless you do some custom hack shit, you can use QEMU and something else to get Core graphics working, more info at the InsanelyMac forums).
I've been using OSX as a guest OS in VMware Workstation for close to 2 years now, never had any issues, it works great, Xcode/Swift run very well, the iOS emulator works well enough to do testing (not it's not the same as on a real actual Mac but then again I didn't have to spend $1200+ to do this).
All of this done on a $200 Dell Latitude - El Capitan was free obviously.

Fug, posted my question just as the new thread got made. Reposting here.
Do the chinks have a good chromecast knockoff? 39 euro is a bit too steep for me just to stream my weeb shows from my redmi to my tv once in a while.
Or am I better off buying something like a raspberry and just playing the files straight from that?

Speccy thread. Stuck with this for awhile, the ssd helps a lot and I ordered a 2gb ram stick to bump it up to 4gb for $5.

I always see these threads on /g/ with neckbeards posting their overclocked gaymen rigs with i7s and GTX 1080s.
What the fuck do you need such powerful components for? Do you actually do anything productive with it besides gaymen?
I still can't see the need for anything more than an i5 and I actually produce music and render shit.
9 out of 10 battlestations on /g/ are just for gaymen.
/g/ is infested with manchildren.
>>55158812
I can see the appeal of having a silent and aesthetic looking pc but I still fail to see the need for overclocking or 500 dollar graphics cards.
Why are gpu threads so popular anyway?
>>55158773
Fuck off
I'm a student from a Yuropoor country that was recently in a car accident and all my personal belongings were both damaged and destroyed.
I was basically hit & run by a car and the bag with my personal belongings took the hardest hit. (Classic iPod fucked, phone looks like someone bashed it with a baseball bat, Wacom Intuos Creative stylus bent in half, power bank has huge dent in it,...)
One of the damaged items was a Nexus 7 2012 tablet with a bluetooth keyboard that I wrote my notes on. The bluetooth keyboard cover was completely smashed but the Nexus 7 tablet survived with just a badly damaged digitizer and a lot of damage on the plastic, screen somehow survived with just a very small crack.
After hospital bills and getting a replacement smartphone, I was left with as low as 50 Eur for a budget for a new tablet.
Would it be better to either buy a new (used) tablet or send the tablet for repairs?
>>55158735
Didn't read lol
How is this difficult? If it costs less to repair, repair it, otherwise replace it.
>>55158798
I'm a retard when it comes to repairing tech stuff so I would send it somewhere for repairs
Everyone I know keeps also telling me horror stories of repair shops charging too much money
>>55158735
I feel sorry for you mate. Hope you're back on your feet soon.
You can either do the cheap chink shit tablet route, go second hand or get a Kindle Fire and put CM on it.
Pertaining to /brit/, what's your preference and opinion on your ISPs?
I'm going to switch to a new fiber package and everyone is more or less offering the same deals, however whether or not they are a reliable and trustworthy provider is another story.
So tell me /g/, which ISP best deserves my shekels?
Sorry if it's not really 'techy' stuff, but trust that through the shit posting on /g/, there are valuable answers.
Plusnet, they give better upload speeds than most of the competition and no bullshit caps or throttling.
Check uswitch for deals.
>>55158899
Thanks for the tip.
I was thinking about either them or BT.
I'd like to be able to use my own router and upspeed is under looked in the UK, thanks.
Perl Thread!
All the faggots using php and now JS on the server can suck camel cock
>>55159060
lol people haven't been making perl web apps since like 1999.
Bugzilla is literally the only common app out there still perl based.
I'm learning perl right now.
It's fucking comfy with all these variables.
I don't care if it's used or not in webz. I use it for my own simple tasks and it's great.
This is the core i3 cpu architecture, but where are the l1 and l2 cache?

Hi /g/
I've had my current computer for around 4 years now. I took the computer apart today to give it a proper clean and since I was taking it all apart I decided to get an extra 8GB of memory to put in it. I bought the exact make and model of my current RAM but when I put the extra 2 sticks in it won't post at all, the new RAM works fine since I just put that in and it boots up but it seems to be incompatible with the RAM I already have despite being the exact same model. I did buy my current RAM back in 2012 so the only thing I can think of is Corsair changing their chip manufacturer or something like that.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Link is the memory I bought

I know it's not /FL related, but if I buy pepper from the grocery store and plant them, will they grow well? Or should I opt for a specialized plant seed.
>>55158403
if you live in a warm climate or have somewhere in direct sunlight they might do well
not sure why you would use store bought peppers when you can get seeds from any variety online tho
Why won't this fucking XBOX one controller driver install correctly?
I fucking have windows 7 updated all the fucking way to it's current fucking cuck edition and the fucking driver still won't install correctly
I unistalled the driver, reinstalled it.
I installed the driver directly from Microsoft
I updated the .Net and reinstalled the fucking driver.
I'm out of fucking options, the controllers work for Xbox one but not my Win7 PC. Please help because the only answers seem to be the typical ''have you unistalled the driver and reinstalled it''
