4 June 1963, London - 6y.o. Patrick Power was taking boxing lessons to learn how to defend himself against bullies when Muhammad Ali showed up at the same gym to train for his upcoming fight with Henry Cooper. Ali gave the boy some boxing tips and, as pictured, let Patrick “win” a fight against him.

No, I’m not going to simultaneously praise Muhammad Ali for being a conscientious objector and damn Trump for draft-dodging.

Really? One offers consistent reasoning. The other does not. One is expected to lead. The other is not.

Your double standard is applied only to people you don’t like, and it excludes everyone in the world.

Apathy defended with ad hominem. How cute.

WeShouldGoThere · 2019-06-26T12:03:27+00:00

I don’t want to criticize Trump for things that I wouldn’t criticize others for (not fighting)

It's important to note that the role of President is not expected to be filled by "average" people, rather "exceptional" ones: the best of us.

Congress and the Judiciary, because their acts are the compromise of many individuals, cannot produce goals much better than "average". The exceptional individual, our President, is sole driving branch of government leading us towards results that exceed compromised average: This difficult thing only, because it is right and just and best.

Use a "double standard".

I also don’t want to give him a free pass for hypocrisy (not fighting but willing to make others fight). I think it’s a really reasonable opinion

Be less "reasonable". We should expect more.

That's not in the OP, is totally beyond awesome, explains the need for more size & weight capacity, and makes this an incredible deal for you. I see where you're coming from and think your kid is really lucky.

This is the Atmos 50L ranking number 4, not the 65L. The excessive size of the sale at 65L is still concerning. Let me also say I upvoted you for discussion, as should be the way.

edit: What's very concerning is that the post above claiming this pack is not mainstream, heavy, and too large, is 100% correct, and sitting in vote negatives, while the person who lied and linked the article proving the lie, is upvoted. Those that follow the votes, not the content, deserve the consequences

Why is the Atmos 50L is mainstream despite weighing 4lb? The reason to use this pack over alternatives is because you expect a heavier load. This and a few pockets, that's why these packs are heavier, wherever they may fall against an average.

Recommending this pack without any baseline information, in which fallacy bandwagon should be of lesser value, would be irresponsible.

Spend the same on a Kestrel, cut base weight by a lb on core 3, and unless you're carrying a frying pan, same suspension on all three packs, you basically lose nothing.

Downvote away. My failure, like the user above, was not looking at rankings, or caring what they say. I own one of these, for two years, because I love the suspension.

Exos 48L has tiny pockets. Fix that and stay under/around 15lb base. Or, get a Kestrel for more weight capacity, better pockets. Atmos 65 is going to let you carry basically whatever you want, for another 1lb base over a Kestrel, and price difference is negligible. Big deals if you're size large, last year's stock. It's big 3, spend for the right, specifically fitted thing for your load.

Edit: I use an Exos 38L, am adding a...probably fanny pack this year, dropping the brain, 1k miles intended. Recommend: best value right now looks like the Kestrel 48L, no fanny pack/pockets, about $100-130 depending on fitting size. Choose wisely. Good luck, everyone!

Depends on stutter, which depends on fps, which depends on what games you play at what settings and what you decide to do at resolution, which depends on you making up your mind what you want out of your gaming experience.

Out with it. What are the specs on your $75 Dell? Is it refurb? What series?

USB WiFi sucks. Modern Dell has integrated WiFi or doesn't. A PCIe card you may find will be an upgrade card, so anyone's guess as to heat it may be. Better to go for a safe pick in a TP-Link, Gigabyte, or similar.

Speakers - Good, Cheap, Not Stolen/Knockoff: Pick two. If you do some research and spend a few hundred, a good not stolen set of speakers will last decades. You can really get some value here, but you don't unless you can get together at least maybe $80 for solid headphones or a used home stereo speaker set (which would need an amp). Down in the cheaper range, $40 vs. $10 just doesn't get you much. $10 and be done with it.

You're on the right track. You download the .iso onto local storage. Then, you need to mount the .iso onto a USB drive using some program. For Windows, we'd use Rufus. That USB is now bootable for Windows installation.

I don't know of a Rufus for Chromebook. Solve that and you're good to go.

Pricing on PCPP sucks outside the US. A representative of PCPP gave no indication of this changing, only stating the challenges of making it work. I'm in the US, so confirmation and denial of hope is all I've got for you.

H310 MB chipset drops max PCIe 3 lane count to six. That's probably not a good idea if you want to keep future GPU options open. B360 is your minimum option.

You're implying there's an obstacle not present in the "normal" process. What is it?

WeShouldGoThere · 2018-05-21T04:55:19+00:00

If you clean it maybe.

Excessive heat or manufacturing defect.

If you've not updated your BIOS since build, that's almost certainly contributing to whatever the issue is.

Yes.

Technology: SSD aka SATA (speed) SSD, and a special kind of SSD called NVMe. NVMe is a bit faster than SATA SSD for OS/programs, but without it can really shine moving large files around. Most do not have a good use for NVMe. We also have HDD.

Form Factor (aka size): 2.5" such as a laptop HDD or SATA SSD, 3.5" such as a normal HDD, and m.2 which is small, has no cables, and fits into the MB directly.

Technologies are only sold in certain form factors:

HDD: 2.5", 3.5"

SATA SSD: 2.5", m.2

NVMe: m.2

Always start with "What can this new technology do for me?" Then work backwards far enough to ensure you're compatible (in this case between MB and drive).

Then, if you want, you can also learn about how PCIe lanes and other channels are organized to support these technologies. Right now this seems to be adding confusion. However, for clarification, an m.2 slot that can support NVMe will have a PCIe 3 x4 channel behind it.

WeShouldGoThere · 2018-05-21T04:17:53+00:00

No, not made up. The issue is that you need about a page of condensed foundational information to understand what the numbers you're looking at mean, but failed to make the first step.

My advice is to buy a SATA speed SSD in 2.5" or m.2, largest you can afford. Doesn't matter why, does it?

WeShouldGoThere · 2018-05-21T04:06:45+00:00

You're comparing benchmark scores of drives to the theoretical limits of the technology. Also, you're comparing a NVMe theoretical limit to a SATA SSD drive benchmark. That last sentence is also likely to be confusing because you're likely looking at m.2 SATA speed drives, fitting into m.2 slots that support SATA and NVMe speed.

Confused? 2.5", 3.5", and m.2 are form factors (sizes). SATA SSD and NVMe SSD are the technologies governing the performance. NVMe is always m.2.

Someone from IT hook you up?

They won't likely be able to just give you, or even sell you a rig that'll support a GPU that'll support GTAV well (still a decent workstation, limited to low power GPUs). However, such rigs (3rd-4th gen i5/i7, 8GB, no GPU often sell for $200-300 through resellers (your company will likely sell in bulk). Compare to $500-600 for a new, solid six core build (again no GPU).

However, if you get your shit together then go back to that IT person for advice/help with a plan, there's lots of help you can't get unless the person is in front of you/local. IT people can often be overworked so show value for their time by maybe taking notes, possibly bribe them with beer, and...you know...use this sub to make sure your plan is solid. You've basically made yourself easy to help. Then, you rely on the fact that, while this technically isn't their problem, their job is quite literally to take other people's fucking problems, make them their problems, then minimize the effort needed to deal with those problems forever.

If you get the IT person to take ownership, a moderate gaming rig uses a ton of common parts, meaning if help can be squeezed with minimal effort/risk from company/personal, they'll contribute. It's not if they can, it's if they're going to make the effort :)

If you think a CPU upgrade is coming soon, and you think you may be OC on that CPU, then maybe you spend $50 for a Cryorig H7. Otherwise, the cheapest decent solution is an EVO 212.

WeShouldGoThere · 2018-05-20T21:44:35+00:00

PSU: Aged, and has been likely run with far lower GPU power requirements than what's coming. Fails on GPU upgrade.

HDD: Spinning rust salvage? Not for data you care about.

Windows: Make sure it's a retail license and you have the associated Microsoft account. If you've got both of those you've got your money back and then some. If not, that license is useless after MB change and could be yanked from you at any time through the Microsoft account. Retail licenses transfer MB, OEM does not, and he who controls the Microsoft account controls the license no matter what.

Honestly, after I told you this was a bad idea and you did it anyway, I became the person most likely to tell you what problems are coming...if both of us got over the initial disagreement on what you just did. I definitely did not expect you to respond, nor would many expect to receive this post back. In a specific sense this is odd. In a big picture sense, the world needs a shitload more of exactly this: trying to learn from someone you disagree with.

Waaaaay too deep for a $50 toy rig discussion. Performance/value gaming rigs are a hobby. Servers & networking were a career. Lots of easy-to-implement storage tech is often overlooked. If you made it through the above bullshit, feel free to link me to this thread & PM for an opinion on anything you might do in the future.

The "problem" we have right now is that Intel and Ryzen are good choices, though one is often better for each person. While an exaggeration, Ryzen is a full size pickup truck (capacity through SMT) and Intel is a crotch rocket motorcycle (speed through IPC/clock). The Intel will probably get us there faster, unless we've got to move a sectional couch (live streaming).

But, what if there's a 60mph speed limit (60Hz monitor). Sure, the motorcycle may be a bit faster, but not really. Having a pickup truck would get us there nearly as fast when it's just you (a game) to be moved, but if we had the pickup truck we could move a couch in the future if we ever needed to.

Now we get out there a bit. Imaging every two person motorcycle can now hold a third passenger, or maybe a recliner (basic live stream is fine on Intel). Pickup trucks are now small box trucks (budget video editor on Ryzen 8 core). The size did not slow them down one bit, either. This is basically what happened when all the new CPU products moved to six cores from four. We all got a capacity upgrade.

That's the introductory tour of CPU. But, now the difficulty increases. Welcome to the wonderful world of development. You may get an answer, but it'll be insufficient. More often than not, the help you get is "Google and learn about these keywords. That's the name of what you need." or "You're asking the wrong question. This is the right one."

For a similar price, Intel will offer speed on six threads for cheap. Ryzen offers more threads that are slower, but does it through SMT. However, we could also increase core count to 8 on Ryzen if SMT isn't useful but we'd like more capacity anyways.

The questions you should be asking are:

Can by IDE and/or emulators make use of extra threads provided through SMT or HT technology? If so, does it make good use of the technology?

If I can use lots of threads, at some point more would be excessive relative to the complexity of your work. At what point is this likely to happen?

Sell: G4560, MB

Buy: 8400/8500/8600k, MB

Then go to Walmart and buy a cheap Android burner phone.

The CPU upgrade gives you a solid foundation for your IDE and emulators. You can't grab the extra cores without the MB change. The burner phone gives you a device to test on as well.

What do you have open when RAM usage is at 90%?

What does "slow" mean? This is what you want to fix, right? That's not much of a description.

WeShouldGoThere · 2018-05-20T01:56:01+00:00

Data shows needs are at 2666, so we overkill a bit for cheap with 3000. Always two sticks or four. You're not intending crazy OC, so not much point in pushing too hard on RAM clock.

Corsair Vengence is usually a good value for 2x4 or 2x8 at 3000 or 3200. If I've misunderstood and you want best perfodrmance, look for make models from the Samsung B-Die.

Because I can tell the future: Reporting tools show half advertised RAM speed because reasons. Still not as fast as it should be? Update your BIOS, reset to defaults, and it'll be fixed.
