Are ultrawide monitors 21:9 some niche gamer shit or actually the future for pcs?

They seem to have a heap of QC issues with backlight bleeding and they aren't cheap (assuming you dont want some poverty 34inch 1080p display)

>From Europe to Asia, retailers are told that Vega 64 will be sold at higher price than first advertised. It appears that AMD is trying to sell both blower type cards for the same price, which is 599 USD.

can anyone fill me in on M2 SSDs?
i bought a cheap netbook for my son's speech & debate club, and i tried to upgrade the SSD. its a lenovo N22 and it does have an open M2 slot, but i installed a samsung 960 evo and it wouldnt detect in the bios or windows 10. the differen interfaces are confusing me as well the one in the laptop looks like the top one, but other options im looking at look like the bottom. the 960 evo was an NMVe drive, and it didnt detect, so should i go for an SATA m2?

Like today I can create a private chat for 250+ people on whatsapp or on kik but what did people do 10 years ago?

Did private chat exist then or is it something new?

IRC was of course available but it had issues with anonymity and usability by the common person.

I looked into MSN messenger but they didn't release private group chat until 2008.

Facebook chat was not created until 2008.

Skype existed then but I am not too sure if they had group chat back then? I think it was a feature that was added much later.

AIM had chat rooms but did they have private chat rooms?

What would an OS use/look like if it used the most cutting edge technology available to us (from a software angle)?

I mean most Linux distros use tech that is in some cases decades old. I know we are supposed to not go too far ahead because either that hardware hasn't caught up or the software is too unstable and untested (such as the case of SMP on BSD until recently, i.e. it was ass).

But there is tech like SSD which at the moment doesn't seem to have enough specific software ready to cater for the change. That's just one example, I know there are more.

What if we designed an OS using existing software that hasn't been mainlined yet to show what could be done if we pushed things to the limits of current tech? Ditching things like the Linux kernel would be fine if there was a worthy successor in place. I know some faggot is going to mention Plan9 here, that's fine but please mention how it would help us be at the cutting edge. There are many other design concepts that Plan9 hasn't really helped bring about so it's not the only solution but it's one of many possibilities.

>I normally do not post about graphics card prices before they are confirmed, but we have at least 4 independent sources claiming that there is little to no difference in pricing for black and limited editions of Vega 64

>Don’t look at the prices as if they were final, look at the trend where black blower cards are offered at the same price as limited edition.

Who turned AMD around?

It sure wasn't Rory Read, Dirk Meyer, or Hector Ruiz. It was Lisa Su, who is a brilliant engineer with a bachelor's, master's, and PhD from MIT, who is also an excellent leader that oversaw one of the greatest tech turn-arounds this decade.

So shut it with all this "women can't code" "women can't be good leaders" crap.

Ever get tasked with something that isn't really in your job description?

I've been working as a C++ dev for 10 months now without any hiccups and now my boss moved me to a project that involves digging out a 2 year old Django project with no documentation and salvaging features from it to create something that's going directly to the client, with a 3 week deadline. This happened mostly for political reasons (internal conflicts between him and my team leader). Should I stand up to him and tell him to fuck off? I fucking hate python and I don't want to be looking for a job again.
