In all seriousness, expensive peripherals does not make a great gamer.  I agree that if money is a concern to get cheaper peripherals or stick with what he/she has for now.

it meats none of the requirements but I might try it anyway cause why not?

I tried it, it worked better then I expected, but is still unusable for the most part. 

It may make a good cheap and power efficient render farm though. 

I actually recorded it, but the video is far too big to post on these fourms and personal YouTube videos aren't allowed outside of status updates, so I tagged you in a status update.

Oh come on,i not only use this pc for gamming but also to learn 3D modling,and he always says to wait for my exam score...

As someone who is actually making some money from my models (3D printed products) I can assure you that while a beefy PC will help with render times, you shouldn't have any issues starting out with a PC that's less than half of the price that you are asking for. 

I don't think that you are getting the answers that you want to hear in this thread, but in all seriousness there is little to nothing that any of us can do to convince your father.

Ah okay, yeah I’m in Europe (NL currently).

 

australia also has the recycling bin and normal bin. 

Most non rual areas of America has recycling bins, San Francisco actually had 3 bins, an extra one just for composte.

But yeah, America is pretty behind when it comes to being "green" with many practices. 

I figured that you weren't from America actually, it's 3 in the morning here, most of us are asleep right now.

I'm probably gonna go to bed as well  after I finish my beer.

Oh really?! We have like seperate bins for everything here

I live in a rual part of Oregon, and yeah, it sucks. 

I have a 3D printer that can take PETG though (glycol modified PET) so if I get the right equipment I can probably recycle most soda bottles for printing purposes. 

But otherwise there is no realistic way for me to recycle that wouldn't be a massive inconvenience unfortunately.  

Glitter.

Lots and lots of glitter.

Oh for sure, that’s a good solution ! Totally agree with you there.

Exactly, I was talking about solutions to problems instead of "plastic bad" or "don't take my straws away you hippies" since that's how progress is made.

3 minutes ago, Stormseeker9 said:

people should just their rubbish in the bin - like normal people do - and a whole heap of issues would be solved with plastic in the oceans and nature 

Yeah, proper recycling can go a long ways, but that's not only on the individual, but the city in question as well.  There is no recycling services where I live, so I do my best to improvise. 

Just now, Stormseeker9 said:

But those straws only have been around for like max 1-2 years in commercial use, and some companies still use full on plastic straws and they are not bio degradable... just saying 

Correct, PLA is rather recent, but that doesn't stop it from being a solution to the problem. 

Also, there have been biodegradable polymers for much longer, and straws tend to be some form of PET, which is extremely easy to recycle. 

That means that people need to stop throwing them on the ground though.

I actually like the brown fans, but I agree that they clash with many PC builds.

I have redux and chromax noctua fans, the redux being a two tone grey and the chromax being all black except the spacers, in which you get to choose the colors.

So you can use this with TR uh ?  I

Oh, no there is a specific TR4 version. 

The two on the top and bottom are TR4 heatsinks, the one in the middle is a standard one (direct heatpipe method).

My noctua performs better then a 280AIO (nzxt kraken).

9 minutes ago, Turtle Rig said:

Oh no sh*T thats not cool.

Yeah, it's probably a supply issue.  I'm sure that a Threadripper 3000 will be released eventually, perhaps Noctua knows something that we don't with a release date in 2020.

And yes, Noctua is worth every penny, they are indeed ugly, but they are some of the best performers on the market.

Good thread, but Noctua wants your money.  Dark Pro or hyper 212 will cool about the same.  Not a freakin cooler that has a release date lol

Wrong.

I have a dark rock pro tr4.

I heard August but once again everything AMD is up in the air until a month and half.  The TR will follow the 38xx , after a month and what not.

Unless your news source is less then 48 hours old then you're incorrect. 

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.digitaltrends.com/computing/amd-threadripper-ryzen-3000-cpus-wont-replace/%3famp

But please do tell if you have more recent news, as someone who has a Threadripper CPU, I would be highly interested. 

Furthermore, here's how you properly souce when a company states that something is going to be released.

Even TR packaging shouldn't cost $20 to manufacture anyways. 

The only way I see it costing 20 dollars is if he's including the heatsink.

Geez, I thought I told you to read my sentences..

My statement was geared towards the conversation regarding plastic straws, which is why I quoted multiple people.  I wasn't targeting a single person, but those who were engaging in the debate. 

And I did read your sentences, you told someone who was complaining about AMD's packaging being too expensive (even though they are most likely incorrect) that they sound like the kind of guy who would vote against plastic straws.  So you decided to use an irrelevant comparison to what is a real world problem, albeit a minor one.

But go ahead and take my last sentence as personally as you want, not my problem. 

Also, you're welcome for the information.

Stop it you two. 

PLA (polylatic acid) is a plastic polymer that's fully biodegradable and food safe.

They are by products from plants, and is 100% natural. 

There, problem solved.  So stop talking shit about materials that you know nothing about.

ThreadRipper coming in August 32c 64t

AMD removed Threadripper from their roadmap, so we have no clue when a Threadripper 3000 well be released. 

Don't be surprised if we have to wait until 2020 for a Threadripper 3000.

Has just about everything you want except the glass build plate.

The build plate is magnetic and thus easily removable though.

You say that as if wireless headphones are more portable than wired.

The lack of wires are helpful for more active activities.  But I get what you mean, you need a charging cable and a wall to USB outlet. 

Although for road warriors, a multi USB wall outlet is common for them to store already.

You've been doing that yourself quite a bit.

I think that most of OPs thoughts can be chalked up to speculation, although he tends to go onto tangents so I admittedly haven't read a lot of what he said if he didn't directly quote me.  

Although when it came to his explanation of water resistance he was downright spreading misinformation.

The headphone jack is pretty universal in terms of it's one of the only times in history where a technology was replaced with one that isn't inherently superior, that also has massive downsides.

 

Wireless is great. But you seem to be under the impression that to have good wireless, you need to remove the jack. That is simply incorrect.

 

In every other instance of a new technology, it was phased in side by side with the older technology (or the new technology was simply better in every single way - which isn't the case with Bluetooth vs wired). Take USB: USB 2.0 is still on many devices to this day, despite USB 3.0 being superior on paper. There are reasons for this, though - such as USB 3.0 being touchy with many legacy devices (USB drives in particular).

 

Take Parallel Port vs USB - most computers had both for quite some time as people slowly replaced their parallel printers with USB printers.

 

Take PATA vs SATA - again, same thing. Most computers had both for quite some time while people slowly switched to the new tech.

 

For those who want cutting edge, it's there. For those who don't feel like (or can't afford to) replace every single perfectly working peripheral with one that has a different plug on the end of it? They get to use the legacy stuff.

 

Quite simply, the removal of the headphone jack is kind of a unique aberration in tech evolution.

The removal of the headphone jack was very abrupt compared to most other connectors, and even so, there are PCIe cards (or adapters) for most of the connectors that have since been removed from current hardware. 

Headphone dongles are simaler in that regard, but the problem with that is twofold.  One, there is no standard, so some work with some phones and not others, and two, there is only one USB port on your phone.  While wireless charging is a thing, it's no substitute for an actual wire.  I have said this before, but if you give me 2 USB C ports, with one that has a built in DAC/AMP, I'll be happy.  That would allow any 5 dollar dongle to work with the device, and more versatility with USB OTG functionality.

He also doesn't factor in people's bank account balances.

Well, yeah.  I didn't really bring that up because most people that can't afford a new pair of headphones probably can't afford a new phone either, but there are factors like having to replace a damaged or stolen phone. 

So yeah, budget is a huge deciding factor as well, perhaps the biggest.

Now that you mention it, it kinda does.  I feel that at this point arguing with OP is pointless though.  He clearly just wants to live in an echo chamber.

On a side note, I'm done with mainstream. My next phone is going to be a Chinese one, because no mainstream manufacturer was kind enough to leave me a headphone jack (they left me infuriating dongles instead). Can't wait to have night vision, though  

Samsung still makes phones with headphone jacks, but we are talking about Samsung here, they aren't exactly the saving grace of the smartphone industry. 

Honestly, after my discussion with @mr moose I really want a phone that has a 40 pin GPIO connector on the back.  That design would actually be easy to make water resistant with some epoxy over the exposed PCB and having the phone detect a short like my note does.

It would make a very large amount of peripherals available for the phone on the get go, and no shortage anytime soon.

Thoughts on that idea?

It's just a shame that previous modular phone designs weren't so well thought out and thus not popular.

I think that the main reason why previous designs failed was due to the lack of any standards.  The ATX form factor for example is a standard that the vast majority of motherboards use.  That allows pretty much mostly universal compatibility for PCIe peripherals. 

For a modular phone design to gain any traction there will need to be a widely accepted and adopted motherboard standard that several phone manufacturers must agree on.

I actually discussed a simaler concept with @TopHatProductions115 a few months ago in regards to laptops.

This is unfortunately unlikely to happen due to the vast changes in phone motherboard design due to the desire to make phones thinner among other things.  Not to mention the challenges of making a design like that water resistant.

It's just a shame, I see many addons available to the raspberry pi via the 40 pin GPIO, and I have thought to myself many times "damn, I really wish that there was something like that for my phone" several single board computers also have identical GPIO pinouts simaler to that of a raspberry pi, so it's becoming somewhat of a standard in the single board computer realm. 

I went off on a tangent tbere didn't I?
