whats the difference?

>>61869341
I upgraded from an mx100 to an 850 Evo and the performance difference is quite noticeable, up to twice as fast when doing things like opening DEs

Not sure how noticeable it would be for games though, some games are barely different between HDDs and SSDs in the first place

Games that stream constantly like GTA 5 would get a noticeable bump

>>61869504
Thanks for elaborating.

I should probably hold off

trying to upgrade more RAM but i can't find the similar ram sticks nowhere.
mines say for example
>DDR4-2135 (1067 MHz)
the only ones i see online are
>KINGSTON HyperX Fury DIMM Kit 8GB, DDR4-2133
which are almost the same but the "2135" and "2133"

>>61869341
>>61869504
going from hdds to ssds is a significant upgrade because you remove seek time and random read/write is much faster, however getting a better ssd, while it can be twice as fast on paper, won't make a huge difference if you're not using the full amount of bandwidth which is something os loading or games might not do but it should still be a nice upgrade, just think of it like going from a 5400rpm green hdd to a 10k rpm hdd rather from a hdd to an ssd again

>>61870463
if you get mismatching speeds all the ram will run at the slowest stick speed, should generally be fine

>>61870548
this >>61870463
but are these 2 actually the same or is it what makes the different speed ?
>2135
>2133

I'm looking towards getting a tablet, however, I don't know of many tablets which are good for the price.

In an ideal world, I would probably get a nvidia shield k1, however, they've not been in production for a while, and as such are expensive.

I'm not a poorfag, but I don't want to spend too much on a tablet - to me it's not something that I can justify spending more than £80 on, so, are there any tablets I should look towards getting?

I'd want a tablet with a fairly high resolution, i.e. why I'm not wanting a fire tablet, so, are there any tablets I should look towards getting on ebay?

>>61869418
you're not giving us enough information. what software is that? where are you downloading from?

anyway, it looks like version numbers, so i'd get the one that starts with 15.46.

best software to convert flacs to mp3s?

>>61869725
>>61869341
if you're ever going to upgrade, get an nvme ssd, they are worth it.

>>61870548
can someone tell me which one is the speed please ?
as i said, i found the similar hyperx fury ddr 4 in the shop but it says
>2133
instead of
>2135
are these the speeds and do they have to match togehter ?

>>61870724
Better question is why the fuck arnt they in order

>>61869341
You don't put a question into the /sqt/ OP you little attention whore.

Paste the last OP and use a xena warrior princess picture. Then put your question in.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

or this

>>61870807
agreed. we should really ignore op's that put their question in the op for more exposure. making the /sqt/ about your own question first kind of defeats the point of this thread imo

Is it possible for FOSS projects to make money? How does RMS live?

I'm not criticizing FOSS/GNU/RMS, I am interested in learning if it is possible.

Any SSD is a massive upgrade from a mechanical harddrive. However, the difference between one SSD and the next isn't nearly as large, and you're unlikely to notice it outside of benchmarks.

Which of these is a better option for my CPU fan setup? And how do I know it's getting the proper amount of air flow? Is there a CPU fan controller program I can get?

When should I start applying for jobs if I'm graduating in December?

>>61873457
You should have already had a job by now.
What field are you in?

>>61871327
Not a viable amount of money. The only way for foss projects to have any source of income is to charge for support (like RHEL), or via donations.

>>61873605
>you should already had a job by now
Said literally no one ever.
I have an internship right now but it's not something I'll have when I graduate.

>>61873661
>said literally no one ever
You're an idiot. You asked a question and I gave you an honest answer. If you're graduating in ~4 months and you want to have a job right after that, then you need to be applying right now.
You are behind schedule right now.

>>61873661
Not him but at my school, it was standard for anyone in anything engineering/computer-related. The internship(s) can lead to a position after graduation, but if not, you've gotta work a little harder during senior year. I'm not saying everyone had a job lined up, but once you started hearing your peers talk about all the shit they had lined up, it made you want to do the same.

Should I treat the rash on my ass or should I wait and see if it blossoms into something wonderful?

I'm looking at the GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1060 Mini ITX OC 3GB atm as oppose to the dual fan because its $40 cheaper.

they have the same speeds but i don't undder stand this,

>3GB 192-Bit GDDR5
>Core Clock 1556 MHz in OC Mode
>1531 MHz in Gaming Mode
>Boost Clock 1771 MHz in OC Mode
>1746 MHz in Gaming Mode
>8008mhz memory clock

what the fuck is gaming mode? do i have to turn that on myself?

also, i'm returning my EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti SC GAMING 4GB, which specs are

>4GB 128-Bit GDDR5
>Core Clock 1354 MHz
>Boost Clock 1468 MHz
>7010mhz memory clock

think the 1060 mini will be better than it?

I hear SSD's only have a certin number of 'writes' before they get bricked.

Will constantly downloading movies and vidya and later deleting them for new ones shorten the life of my SSD?

>>61871332
like half a year if you dedicate yourself to learning all you can.

You're talking years and if you don't have a firm issue before it ends, it's still readable.

Do m.2 SSDs need heat dissipation?

How do I find happiness?

>>61877556
Leave

>>61877556
Serious answer? Realize you can make the conscious choice to be happy right now, wherever you are. Baubles, Trinkets and fancy hardware don't bring happiness (Although they help)

Learn to meditate. Watch your mind and what it's doing in real time. That's what you could call 'presence'. It's hard to be unhappy when you're actually awake and at the wheel. A lot of suffering is self imposed because someone is 'here' and wants to be 'there'.

tl;dr Choose to be.

Can't say I expected that, I did it jokingly, but I'm kinda glad.
Thanks, Anon. I'll be sure to try meditation, it's something I've been interested in for a while. Thanks for your effort in typing this out.

Do I need a graphics card for watching videos?
I'm planning to buy a computer for my parents who just watch tv shows online all day while playing solitaire and I'm wondering if i'm going overkill on this rig

>>61877952
Onboard Intel graphics are fine for 1080P and below.

I have 1Gbps internet speed, most speed is used while torrenting and watching 4k youtube videos on my 1080p monitor.
Any suggestions what should I do with all the bandwidth I have?

>>61878510
so its fine to just remove the graphics card? Thanks m8

My PS4 refuses to connect to my wifi, I've opened the ports and they did fuckall. Well, actually no it """connects""" to my wifi in that it recognizes the name and goes far enough in setup to have all the network details but it falls on it's face in the internet test. I can access the router's settings, anyone have an idea to fix this shit? I contacted both Sony & Comcast, neither were helpful.
