    szomeret got a reaction from captain_to_fire in Microsoft will pay you $650 to ditch your MacBook for a Surface   
    I have a Surface Pro 4 and a 2013 retina MacBook. I'm not really sure which I prefer. I really like OS X but the old hardware isn't strong enough to drive my monitor at 60hz. I don't like Windows 10 because I've experienced so many bugs. But I love the Surface Pro 4 when Windows 10 isn't getting in the way. 
     
    I don't want the new macbook pro because the battery is 25whr smaller.

    szomeret got a reaction from ThomasD in Is 4k worth buying into right now? [LG 27MU67-B opinion]   
    I have a 27" 4K IPS monitor. I'd recommend it for people who look at a good deal of text. 
    But for games it's not worth it. Even my GTX 1080 is not enough for many games. 
    In total, unless you have a lot of spare money, I'd advise against it.

    szomeret got a reaction from totjup5 in RX 480 vs GTX 1080   
    Personally I think the i3 6300 is a mistake, especially if you're considering a GTX 1080!
    Get a i5 6600K and a GTX 1070. Lower cost in total, better worse case performance (i.e. when CPU bound)

    szomeret got a reaction from Vox_Lusa in Mechanical Keyboard Club!   
    I've the same keyboard (but with white case). I like it a lot. But there's one problem: the shift, backspace and similar keys are more wobbly than my other mechanical keyboards.

    szomeret got a reaction from IrishFeangol in Ireland Government intend to appeal EU/Apples Tax Ruling   
    Reading the basis of the ruling I think Ireland is right to appeal.
    The commission alleged they favored Apple and while in practice this may have been the case other companies were able to set up the same arrangement had they tried.
     
    In the end the tax money will still have to be collected, perhaps by the member states of the EU, but I think Ireland may win their appeal.

    szomeret got a reaction from Meladath in nVidia's Tom Petersen raises a good point in AMD vs GameWorks issue   
    Well, it is possible, but unlikely.
    1. AMD optimize shaders for popular games. (The driver calculates the shader's checksum, if it is one they know, then they load the specialized version instead). No surprise, Nvidia does this too.
    2. Usually, AMD contacts the developers for the shaders' source code, if they are shipped in compiled form, in order to make their optimization process possible. The developers see no loss: AMD will improve your games performance on their hardware for free in their upcoming driver, what luck!
    3. In this case, Nvidia wrote the shaders. AMD may contact the developer, but they cannot distribute the source of some shaders to AMD due to Nvidia's licensing.
    4. Now AMD has to optimize the shader program from the compiled form, which looks something like this:

    imul null, r1.x, cb0[r1.x+2].y, cb0[r1.y+2].xitof r1.x, r1.xadd r0.x, r0.x, r1.xmul o0.z, r0.x, l(0.2)utof r0.x, r0.zadd o0.w, r0.x, l(0.5)itof o0.x, r0.witof o0.y, r0.yret5. Good fucking luck. The fact they got it out so soon only speaks to the skill of the poor bastards who have to maintain the wretch that is any modern graphics driver.

    szomeret got a reaction from elfensky in Why do people/companies care about feminists' opinions?   
    Because feminists are people too. People, with jobs, have money and buy things too. There's also the fact that progress is seen as good by a majority of the population and many of them associate feminism with progress.
    The feminists you chose in the first post are the minority of feminists, but they're certainly the most vocal.
