I wouldn't say it has the upmost priority, but it can't just be thrown out of the window. Yeah, this is also what has been on my mind. It seems like there are some rumors of a RTX 4070 Super with 16 GB. Which kind of makes sense, it is weird that the 4070 (TI) doesn't just have 16 GB of memory. Given that I'm looking for this upgrade sometime this year, early next year (probably should have mentioned in that post) might be worth waiting this out and seeing what it does to prices (on both sides). Meanwhile, it looks like I need to do more research on AMD cards. I've been trying to find friends/family who have AMD cards, but so far, it is all NVIDIA. So nobody can tell me what their experience is like.

I am not sure if this is the right section, as most of the build is already done (~2 months ago). When I built this new PC, I kept my GTX 1080 as it was still adequate for the job and I couldn't justify the price of a new GPU. Now I'm planning to upgrade my monitor from a 144Hz 1080p Ultrawide to a 100-1200Hz 1440p Ultrawide, so a GPU upgrade is probably in order. I'm somewhat partial to NVIDIA, but if I can get a lot more performance by going to AMD, I will consider it of course. My reasons for preferring NVIDIA are primarily that my 1080 has been working perfectly for the nearly 7 years I've owned it. Which I can't say for my previous AMD card, where it felt like all I was doing was fighting with drivers and the card. I don't really play heavy games, and mostly play a lot of esports titles, but would like to have the option to play heavier games with friends occasionally. Power efficiency is relevant, as electricity is not that cheap where I am (~€0.35 per kWh). Current setup: Ryzen 5 7600X 32GB (2x 16GB) 5600 MHz (Running at 4800 MHz, because of a bunch of weird issues) 850W Platinum PSU MSI PRO B650-P WIFI Samsung 980 Pro 2TB NVME SSD (gen4) As for new vs second hand, my preference goes out to a new card, I intended to use this card for a while again and don't mind paying a small premium for that. I've included pricing for cards below. I've included the games I play below. But this is just a bit of an additional note, I really like cyberpunk 2077, and kind of want to give its ray tracing a go. I'm OK with all the DLSS, from the videos I've seen I can't tell the difference between "Real" and DLSS. Budget (including currency): €600-700 (Up to €800 for significant performance gains) Country: Netherlands Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Games: Esports Overwatch Apex Legends League of Legends Casual Multiplayer Red Dead Redemption 2 Team Fortress 2 Sea of Thieves Single Player The Witcher 3 Hitman 1,2,3 (The new ones) Horizon Zero Cyberpunk 2077 Programs: Light Blender use Light Machine Learning work Small projects in Unreal Engine 5 Other details: Monitor: My current monitor is an ultrawide 1080p 144Hz, new monitor is 1440p 100-120Hz. Most of the parts for my setup usually come from azerty.nl These are the prices for cards that are around the budget: New NVIDIA RTX 3070 TI: €600-700 (Not many available) RTX 3080: - (Not available) RTX 4060 TI (8 GB): €400-500 RTX 4060 TI (16 GB): €480-580 RTX 4070: €600-700 RTX 4070 TI: €860-950 AMD RX 6700 XT: €360-450 RX 6800 XT: €500-570 RX 7700 XT: €500-550 RX 7800 XT: €560-660 RX 7900 XT: €830-970 Second Hand (price ranges from looking at "for sale" listings on marktplaats.nl) NVIDIA RTX 3070: €350-450 RTX 3070 TI: €400-600 (Very few listings, and some a little weird) RTX 3080: €450-550 RTX 3080 TI: €700-800 RTX 3090: €650-1000 (Mostly used for mining) AMD Very few listings and most listings are close in pricing to a new one

Budget (including currency): 650 to 700 euro (CPU + RAM + MOBO only) Country: Netherlands Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: A combination of gaming and programming, as well as some light 3D modeling. Work: Jetbrains product (Intellij, Pycharm, Clion) Docker WSL Fusion 360 Hobby: Blender (light work) Unreal Engine (as hobby sometimes, small worlds, light stuff) Gaming: Overwatch League Cyberpunk 2077 The Witcher Cities: Skylines Hitman (1-2-3) Horizon Zero Dawn Warzone Other details: I am currently (still) running an i7 4790k with 16 GB of ddr3 ram at 1866 MT, with a 1080 as my GPU. My CPU seems to be the bottleneck in many games that I play these days because I am a heavy multitasker and Chrome tab hoarder. I've been wanting to upgrade for some time, but because the build still uses DDR3, an upgrade has always been expensive, as it would require a change of CPU + MOBO + RAM. And there is essentially no practical or reasonable upgrade from the i7 4790k within the same memory generation. The initial goal was to upgrade somewhere in 2020, but with the prices of chips around that, time I was not prepared to spend that much money for a new chip. Prices have since come down, and everything is now somewhat affordable again. However, the launch of ryzen 7000 has brought something of a dilemma. The AM4 platform is now discontinued (as in no new chips will be made for this platform) but CPU's and board for this platform are significantly cheaper than for AM5. The dilemma is, do I go for more performance for my money today, but be stuck in a dead-end platform again? Or do I settle for a little bit less performance, but with an upgrade path for the next 2-3 years? These are the options (all builds will use the 1080 as GPU): 1. AMD RYZEN 7 5800X (320,00) + 64 GB of DDR4 memory @ 3600 MT (250,00) = 570 euro 2. AMD RYZEN 7 5700X (280,00) + 64 GB of DDR4 memory @ 3600 MT (250,00) = 530 euro 3. AMD RYZEN 7 7600X (360,00) + 32 GB of DDR5 memory @ 5600 MT (225,00) = 585 euro The 5800x and 5700x do technically still have an upgrade path to the 5950x or 5800x3D, so it is not entirely dead-end. Any advice?

I Figured out what I need, they are called "KVM switches"

I can figure out something else for the keyboard and mouse. But I would really like a solution for the displays.

Hi, I'm looking for a way to share multiple ways between my laptop and my desktop. For my work, I have a laptop with a single thunderbolt 4 ports, right now, I have a separate setup for my desktop and for my laptop. However, it makes upgrades in setups more expensive, so I want to combine the 2 setups. I have 3 screens I'd like to share between the laptop and my pc. My primary ultrawide, a 3440 x 1440 120hz display My secondary ultrawide, a 2560×1080 144hz display And a third screen, a 1920x1080 50hz display Ideally, I would also like to share my keyboard and mouse. I was wondering if daisy-chaining a thunderbolt dock to both my pc and laptop would work, as that means that there are essentially 2 source devices. Another solution would be to have a 2 in 1 out DisplayPort/HDMI switcher for each display, but that would be a hassle to switch between, and it wouldn't work for the keyboard and mouse. If anyone has any good ideas for how to accomplish this, feel free to post.

Like this? function test(func) { if (typeof func !== "function") { return; } for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) { func(i); } } test(function(x) { console.log(x); }); It is really just what duncannah said, but with a small expansion. If this is not what you are looking for you should describe your problem more clearly. And also why you want to use it in this specific way.

A fun challenge, And nice work, but your code can be improved in a number of ways. You also implemented your own search function for an array, nice practice but javascript already has a prototype for this .indexOf(). It is good you want to code and try new things, but it is also not needed to reinvent the weel. In your code you also use a lot of "magic numbers", you should always try to prevent that as much as possible, because if you look back at it after a while you don't know what all the numbers are and what they do. Also what numbers do you need to change if all of a sudden your alphabet changes. If the variable is a property of another object just use that like the array length in this case. I found it an interesting challenge so I had a go at it myself, I created a function for the shift of the characters, this allows you to uses this part of the projects in others if need be. It also allows you to easily expand it. In my case I made it so it can take any shift, positive or negative. The while loops allows for shifts larger than the length of the array. There are other/better ways to do this but I kinda forgot that it was an option to have larger numbers and this way I only needed to change out if for while. This code also solves the problem with spaces, because spaces aren't in the alphabet the function just returns the character. const Charset = ["A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G", "H", "I", "J", "K", "L", "M", "N", "O", "P", "Q", "R", "S", "T", "U", "V", "W", "X", "Y", "Z"]; const CharShift = 13; function shift(input, shift) { let i = Charset.indexOf(input); if(i === -1) { return input; } let pos = i + shift; while(pos >= Charset.length) { pos -= Charset.length; } while(pos < 0) { pos += Charset.length; } return Charset[pos]; } function rot(str) { console.log(str); let output = ""; for (let i = 0; i < str.length; i++) { output += shift(str[i], CharShift); } console.log(output); } rot("SERR PBQR PNZC");

It's a very common error I have had a lot of times aswell. There are a couple of fixes for this, press reset just before uploading. Or just spam the upload button in the arduino IDE. Another possible fix is to change the Erase Flash option "Tools > Erase Flash > All Flash Conents" But do keep in mind this might wipe eeprom. It is also possible that the ESP is just dead, if you toch it and it's really hot that is generally a good indication that it is dead. If it is none of the things above, try uploading your code without any wires conencted, some pins have special functions at startup and overriding the default values could make it so you are unable to upload code. I've listed the pins below. If you still have issues, it would help if you provided the ESP model you are using ESP-12/ESP-12E/ESP-32 etc. and if you are using a development board such as a nodeMCU.

Either EDM, or some dramtical music with a lot of tension to keep my energy level high. But nothing with main vocals, those just distract me.

I started with PHP, then Java then C, C# and C++. I also picked up javascript somewhere.

Now I'm sure this comment is going to piss some people off but the basics of most programming languages are relatively the same. An if statement, while or for loop don’t really differ between the most popular programming languages. So an “easy” way of getting into programming is an Arduino, a regular starter kit should keep you going for a while. Then when you get the hang of that start thinking of your own projects to do with them. The internet is full of things people make with arduino’s. If you feel like you got the hang of Arduino step it up to like an esp8266 (they are like 3 bucks) and that opens up a whole new world. Most importantly you should start small, but it should be projects you want to do. If you don’t enjoy it then there is no point in making something. The advantages of an Arduino over writing desktop apps is that you can actually see things happening. While in the early stages of desktop programming not a whole lot happens in my opinion. But if you really want to get into desktop programming languages like C# and Java are easy to recommend. And you can just search on youtube for a tutorial on those languages. But like all things the first couple of things you make will not look like much but eventually you can make whatever you want. One of the nice things of being able to code.

I don’t know the specifics of your camera's but I'm assuming that it is just regular IR. Building one is not super easy but not hard either. I would buy a regular solar light since it already has everything you need and this LINK on aliexpress. Maybe they have them on amazon aswell didn't check. And just use the solar light for parts, it is probably easier and cheaper to get the solar panel, battery and board from those things then the make it yourself. If you can solder them together it might work, you would need to check the voltages though.

Good you are getting into arduino. It's generally recommended to always connect both RX and TX. TX --- RX RX --- TX Also make sure the 2 arduino's are connected via ground. GND --- GND I don't see an issue with your code, I usually don't use strings but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Here is a link to a guide on how to do serial communication between 2 arduino's - https://iotguider.in/arduino/serial-communication-between-two-arduino-boards/. This guide isn't perfect as it uses a set length for both sending and receiving but it's good enough to test your setup.

Well those are weird issues. What is the error message do you get with the bluescreen? That could be of great help in trying to figure out what it is. I’ve been sitting for a while thinking about what it might be. It could be a recent windows update, I have personally had a lot of issues upgrading from 1709 to 1803. I also couldn’t find your motherboard as windows 10 compatible for some reason. Pretty sure they just forgot to add it as the entire list doesn’t have any Z270 chipset, list HERE. Anyway if you got them after upgrading windows it might be worth a shot downgrading to an older version, problem with that is that you have to reinstall everything that is on your boot drive. It’s the reason I haven’t downgraded because the issues I have with windows aren’t as annoying as having to reinstall everything again (yet). What I did notice about the games you described having problems with is that they all use a version of DirectX, while CS:GO uses OpenGL. So based on this I would remove the current display drivers with DDU and reinstall the drivers again. Ohh no I feel like microsoft support now. You could also try to use the "System File Checker" it fixes errors in your window version, it probably wouldn't fix your issues but it's worth a shot.Here is a link to an article by microsoft on how to do it https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/929833/use-the-system-file-checker-tool-to-repair-missing-or-corrupted-system. This is the best I could come up with. Maybe someone else has some better ideas. Try and write down the error code with your bluescreen that gives you a better idea of what causes the error to begin with.

Hey everyone, I thinking about getting a new monitor setup. Now I am kinda split between 2 choices. Both monitors are curved ultrawides. But there are some differences. I also need a new GPU to power the new setup. I was thinking a rx480, the 2nd monitor is nothing special, just a screen with discord on it and maybe a movie sometimes while I am gaming. These are the monitors I have trouble choosing between. BenQ XR3501, 2560 x 1080, 144hz. But no freesync, 2000r curve, 550 euro (35”) Or LG 34UC79G-B, 2560 x 1080, 144hz, freesync, 3800r curve, 600 euro (maybe 550 if I can get a good deal) (34”) I hope you guys can help me make choice between these 2 monitors. ~bover21

I just wanted to say Thumps for the CES coverage this year. You guys really had your stuff together this year and the videos were way more like a regular LTT video. The shots of the products were all beautiful and sound quality was amazing. Overall amazing job. I hope others agree on this with me.
