What's your document setup, /g/?
Do you store files locally, or do you cloud everything? OneDrive, Dropbox? Do you manually back-up with an external HDD?
Got some sweet syncing action?

okay lets get down to brass tax
a game's resolution is universally agreed to be the biggest impact on a GPU
how ever, what if your monitor/tv screen is natively 1080p, if you downscale a game's resolution to 900p or 720p but then your screen upscales i, are you just off-setting it?
or is it still less strain on the GPU?

It is less strain on the GPU.
On your end, however, the quality will be diminished because upscaling doesn't add information from thin air. If the GPU is providing limited resolution information, all the screen can do is "stretch."

You're supposed to buy these from Aliexpress or various Chinese websites (Gearbest, Fasttech, Banggood). Otherwise you get jew'd hard, as ebay sellers just resell these with a very huge mark up.

So my 77 year old grandma wants to get a laptop. She's doesn't know much and will be using it just for email, the Internet, maps, etc., just average grandma shit.
She wants a laptop with at least a 15" display . Do you guys have any good suggestions for something durable yet not too expensive? Her budget is around $600.

I too remember when I was too stupid to just use youtube-dl
I posted this on /sci/ a week ago, sadly it didn't get many replies
from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radix_economy
If both b and N are positive integers, then the radix economy E(b,N) is equal to the number of digits needed to express the number N in base b.
E(b,N)≈b logb(N)=bln(N)/ln(b)
Then for a constant N, E(b,N) will have a minimum at e. Meaning e is therefore the base with the lowest average radix economy.
And since 2 / ln(2) ≈ 2.89 and 3 / ln(3) ≈ 2.73, it follows that 3 is the integer base with the lowest average radix economy.
I am convinced that three-valued logic might hold the key to some fundamental computing problems, (like having to round periodic decimals in binary)
I can imagine new types of transistors like PETs(piezoelectric) or Optical Transistors.
Why should ternary not be the design of all our hard- and software?

Because on/off or up/down or north/south or what have you is way simpler to implement than on/off/? up/down/neither and north/south/neither.
A transistor can be on or off. Can it be both?

Cheap-ass bastard thread. Post your preferred method of aquiring hardware for dirt cheap and/or free (legally, of course).
Been doing some eBay shit lately and got some decent ultrabook-lite for $180 CDN and an all-in-one for $180 CDN. Also a refurb lelnovo with an SSD for $130 CDN. And some custom PC with an i3 and somewhat fucked RAM slots for $100 CDN.

How risky is disabling APM in the BIOS? It seems this is the only way of preventing crazy frame rate drops in Doom.
I already updated my drivers and tried lowering the settings in the game, but nothing else seems to have any effect.

It's not risky at all. Do it.
Check your cpu voltages and clocks beforehand and see if they're affected in any regard. If I were you I'd go to power management in windows and use the performance profile (yyes I know you're on a desktop).
>>
>>54892159
what exactly am I looking for when checking the cpu voltages and clocks?
>>
>>54892414
A reference. Power saving/management keeps cpus at low voltages/clocks whenever possible. But you may have some trouble like when it keeps the clock/voltage high (or fixed) when idle. Again though, it's most likely due to your power profile on windows being on 'balanced' if anything. Otherwise you might either want to overclock or assign adaptive mode for your chips voltage from bios if you see that the cpu isn't cutting it on stock.
