Thinking about getting a T14 gen 2 ryzen Thonkpad, my old T460s doesn't cut it anymore. Is this a good idea?
Is a TI4 Gen 2 solid enough for emulating up to and including PS2?

>>107849707thats a fine solution, but it looks like it would be cumbersome to use. the data's type is not known by the "vector". things like accessing elements would be annoying because you will have to do pointer casts manually, as i would assume it returns a void*.
>>107849876>but it looks like it would be cumbersome to useYes, for that I have a simple macro or two, just to make it bearable.

Ok it's already too late for ram and GPUs.. what else should I buy before the price of literally everything goes up? What's next on the chopping block??
>>107850970Just set up a few chatbots for free to make money for you bro. It's easy.
Just leave your money on an index fundIf you had put $100 toward your next RAM upgrade in an index fund around the time AM4 came out, you'd have enough to buy two sticks of DDR5 three times over even at a 10x markup
>>107850970Cpu, mobos, psu
>>107850970oh, and storage, ssd AND hdd
GPUs actually vanished mainly because of the RAM issues. So it's just anything that takes RAM is your answer. Robovacs, smart toasters, etc etc

>>107847431Minidisc in Sydney is it for us, those dudes have everything
>>107847431There are stores like that but there's nothing worth buying. Tried like 40 headphones.
Spent $160 which seems like a lot for headphones, but I've given up on trying to repair HS60's and I those M50X's were only ever borrowed.Hopefully they'll be good enough for audio production and that the bass won't be too off.
I'm still stuck in decision hell. I have just been told to get studio headphones instead of gaming ones >Location EU/ger>Budget50-100€ ~ 140€ is a stretch that would bankrupt me as a student>What exactly you're looking for (be as detailed as possible)Looking for durable headphones for home gaming/music/surfing the web. Probably something I would wear the entire day. Wired. Don't even know if I should take open or closed back because at home it's relatively quiet all day round. I liked closed-back headphones, but I’ve had issues wearing them all day because my ears feel too hot and sealed and I want something breathable and comfortable that I can wear long sessions without it messing up my ears.>Previous gear and your thoughts on itATH-M40x. Very nice, maybe the sound was too tight and closed. Last summer it was pain on my ears. One side of the speakers died so I was gonna buy these again if I don't have a sound advice on why I should pick something else (which I hope in).I dont need endgame gear, and I dont play on doing any EQ tuning. I do have an audio interface that helps pump up the audio quality but im just going to use the headset for gaming, spotify and discord so im not such an audiophile, just a hpg visitor.
What is better: a 14" or a 16" MacBook Pro? I can't decide. It's unironically too difficult to decide. On one hand, I would prefer the larger display, on the other hand I use my laptop exclusively when I can't use my PC to do something, which means I need a laptop for use around the house and carry it outside first and foremost. I absolutely do not want to use an external monitor almost ever though.
>>107850908>have you considered going to the gym?I hate this meme. It has nothing to do with muscle, a big bulky laptop is just in the way, no matter how buff you are.When I had a thin and light, it was always in my shoulder bag, because it didn't get in the way. Currently have a shitty gaming laptop (temporary) that's 15 inches and much thicker and heavier, it's annoying to carry around and I selectively only take it when I know I 100% need it, running into occasions where I could have used it but didn't have it with me quite often.
>>107850908PPI is more important IMOI can just have it closer
>>107850587a small macbook is for twinks and a big one is for big fagboys. either way, if you buy a macbook you are gay.
>>107850587>MBPTough choice, both are legit.>more portable, on-the-go computing? 14">churn performance to the most? 16"If the question is MBA, very easy. Always go 13" (15" is kinda wasteful)My personal rule is:-only own one laptop: 14" with decent specs-own two laptops: 12/13" detachable/ultrabook with bare minimum specs & 16" maxed out workstation (assume won't own a desktop)>>107850705Heavy, not really. MBP problem is a bit more of dimension than weight. 16" MBP isn't much heavier than 14" MBP. Most compact bags could fit 14" MBP easily while 16" might not.If you can carry around typical big gaming laptop around. 16" MBP is fucking nothing. Some brands offer bags/backpacks specifically designed for MacBook in mind, choices are plenty.
>>107851098the 16 inch macbook pro is smaller and lighter than the pre 2016 15 inch macbook pro. the thick bezels make the 15 inch mbp bigger than the the 16 one

Check out my voxel engine anons. Written in C++ using OpenGL. Infinite world in every direction, including up and down. Not even close to complete yet, but I'm proud of what I've done so far.
>>107850837I've contributed by discussing OP's inferiority and helping make you and him both feel unwelcome on this board. Go post your worthless slop on the OpenAI forums, or better yet, ask ShartGPT to pat you on the back.
>>107846997I highly doubt those are voxels and not tris.
whats the point of this ai slop? you havent learnt anything, you havent started any sort of interesting dev journey, youve immediately hit your capability ceiling and will never leave this tier of copy and paste junk which anyone can do
>>107850847You're not gonna like hearing this, but nonetheless it's something you need to hear:You're not going to last a fucking second in the singularity.>>107850929This has the same energy as shaming a dev for using an engine instead of writing it from scratch. Like imagine going to the Balatro dev and try to convince him he did things the "wrong" way, yet at the end of the day he's a fucking millionaire and you're some guy on 4chan.>copy and paste junkYou seriously think we still manually do copy pasting, don't you?It's not 2024.
>>107847035he’s not getting 20fps, he’s getting 17x22 fps, aka 374fps. not bad

You don't need a new computer. Your COVID PC is good enough.
>>107850517>16c/32t, 64/24GB RAM/VRAM>almost 5 years old nowIt's really not... I'm going Threadripper on my next build for more flexibility (cores, PCIE lanes, etc). Consumer hardware has plateaued and they're really not gonna give us more than a few little speedups going forward.If you just browse and do your homework my PC would be more than enough, but when it comes to total compute it's falling behind fast... hell, even my high-end 4090 feels like the minimum spec these days with new games running like ass without DLSS maxed out (~240p to 4K).
>>107850517I need to run Solidworks. Will this be enough?
>>107850640>My last PC was fucking 13 years old.Based. I just upgraded my sandy bridge i5 2500k to a 5800x. My next upgrade will be zen7.
The truer point is that we have pretty good games that run on mid tier hardware from current yearmost games arent some path tracing only showcases of future tech, and if they're visually mediocre and arent made on unreal 5 they run at 60fps at 1440p on kinda shit hardware using dlss
It's almost ten years old.... it's so tired....

>>107851086What are you talking about? All FG frames are fake, no matter whose they are, DLSS, FSR, etc
>>107851081Who gives a fuck? If the game looks good and plays smooth, I don't care if the frames are fake or not. Who the fuck really cares?>NOOOOOO EVEN THOUGH I CANT TELL I KNOW THESE HECKIN FRAMES AINT REAL NOOOOOOOOOOO
>>107851123Looks aren't even the problem with FG, it's the additional latency that kills it for me.
>>107848506because AMD only makes mid range cards so if you have a 4k display your only option is to upscale in order to get decent framerates in modern games, which is what the video is comparing, the issue is now DLSS performance mode at 4k looks better than FSR 4k quality making every single nvidia card 30% to 40% faster than their radeon equivalent across the stack, this would not matter that much if AMD had actually something faster than a 4080 that coould actually do 4k native but the 9070 xt barely beats a 3090ti on modern games (the flagship from 5 years ago)
>>107851100Yes and?There's no difference between generated or upscaled frames.Both aren't real
Zoomer here. I heard from my teacher today that phones used to have a slot like the sim card one where you could put in those digital camera memory sd cards in it. Why did no one complain when this happened?
>>107849066A lot of budget phones (and some high end) still have an SD card slot and even a headphone jack. It's up to the consumer to buy these models if they find it important, which many people obviously don't.
I guess because most people don't really need it since every normie will be streaming their shit nowadaysbesides, you should leave more for sam altman anyway
>>107849114It's more this weird obsession with making everything ultrathin often beyond the point of practicality and durability.>>107849066I use a compact reader on my keychain.it works.
>>107849066What do you mean mine has one?
>>107849066If a decent portion of consumers would just not buy stupid shit, it would probably be enough to nudge companies toward better products. But most people cant help but buy stupid shit. Even people who dont like the stupid shit, bitch and moan, but still buy the stupid shit because "must consoooooom". Fits right in with typical consoomer practices is people paying scalpers $800 for a Switch several years ago because, "I WANT IT NOW!!!!". Or those people who preorder a digital game. Or people who spend hundreds on a kickstarter for some piece of shit 3d printed garbage they get 2 years later that doesnt even look like what was promised.I mean, people are going to sell you shit and take your money as long as you go along with it.
