Easiest fucking class I had, he was just giving away A's. He even gave a lecture near the end of the semester about how if you've made it this far then you should get a free pass, he only goes hard on the beginner courses. I kind of agree with him on it though

I'm also debating just building a new PC for the new Kaby Lake and turn this one into a dedicated linux tower. Thoughts?

I run my own server for games, media, xmpp and ssh. Highly recommended setting up dedicated linux box. Go Debian or cent. Devuan is alright if you don't want to use systemd
>>
>>58940127
pricing is a bit steep right now for Kaby... I can however repurpose some of the crap I have lying around... any recommended minimum requirements?

Even for making the best games in the world like Yoshi Island, Megaman X and Mario 3 you wouldn't need to open large files.

Is Hackintosh kill by Apple's not updating the GPUs in iMac and Mac Pro and thus not providing drivers compatible with newer GPUs?

I don't know why mac users put up with it. The platform is essentially dead if you need 3d anything. The worst thing is the idiot 3d modelers using macs, they get upset if they don't have feature parity and hold everyone else back.

This fucking piece of shit randomly crashes when switching keyboard layouts, freezes or stops receiving messages when toggling VPNs and has shitty integration even with Atlassian's own products.

Semi-official company policy has us just turning it off and on again daily so we can at least get shit done without someone important missing messages and failing to do their part when deploying stuff.

Post your component list, rate other anons', ask questions in general.

Always state the purpose of your PC, your budget, AND YOUR COUNTRY if outside the USA.
If you are asking for improvements, clarify whether you want to lower price, or improve specs or build quality.

Ok, awesome. Guess I'll go with that. Glad I asked itt prior to making any decisions. I'm going to assume something similar applies to the GPU as well, so I'll look for that. Thanks
