  1. Hi P
    A friend of mine is planning a build, while talking we pretty much got stuck on making a decision The budget is not a problem, but he doesn't want to spend on something he won't use, which makes sense. Here's what he plans to do: Front-end Development for Web, but has plans to learn / use Back-end Little to no gaming, mostly League of Legends in 1080p, will likely switch to 1440p Would like to learn Photoshop and Adobe XD Even if he doesn't game much, he would like to have the option of being able to upgrade the PC further. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Having said all of that, here's what I had in mind and also my doubts / comments on each of them: AM4 - Ryzen 5600G or 5700G - No GPU If I recall correctly Photoshop can be GPU accelerated, what if it doesn't run well on integrated graphics? AM4 is the past gen, so I feel he would be spending money on something new... but old, if that makes sense AM4 - Ryzen 5600 or 5700 - RTX 3050 or 3060 The GPU seems to be more than enough for his little gaming and Photoshop Same concern regarding "purchasing something new but old gen", for both the CPU and GPU AM5 - Ryzen 8XXXG - No GPU He would be on current gen and looks like the integrated graphics are more than enough for what he does Even if the budget is not a problem, I wonder if it's money well spent or not I've seen videos giving a bad review to Ryzen 8000 APUs AM5 - Ryzen 7600 - RTX 4060 Even if Ryzen 9000 and RTX 5000 are around the corner, these components are new enough He probably will not need to upgrade the PC for quite some time What are your thoughts on these builds? Do you have any other to suggest? (explain your suggestion, please) For Intel, is there anything newer than AM4 but not as expensive as AM5 that we should take a look at?

    Hehe sorry, no I wasn't trying to rage bait anyone But for example, we have seen that DLSS always looks generally better, then most recently RTX Remix among other creative apps, etc For the average Joe (me included) it just looks like NVidia keeps pushing more features for their GPUs Hence why I asked if my feeling is wrong
  3. Hi P
    Let's say that you got two graphics cards that are nearly identical in price and performance. Is it safe to say that NVidia seems to offer much more features than AMD? Am I wrong?
  4. Hi P
    I'm trying to build an entry-level PC for 1080p gaming, I plan to use: AM4 Ryzen 5600 RX 6600 / RX 7600 1x SSD 2x 8GB RAM I'm aware that the price difference between A520 and B550 MOBOs is very small, but I still wonder which one does above build actually needs.
  5. Hi P
    I just want to connect some headphones and a XLR mic to it, nothing else https://www.amazon.com/M-Audio-M-Track-Duo-Interface-Podcasting/dp/B08Q1NJSBQ/ https://www.amazon.com/BEHRINGER-Audio-Interface-1-Channel-UM2/dp/B00EK1OTZC/ I don't know the real difference between different types of audio interfaces, aside from "This one has more I/O connections than this other one"
  6. Hi P
    From what I've been by working in different companies: Generally speaking, It's common to use the CLI for basic things, stuff that you can learn on a 15 minute video Even more common, kinda "must" have if working in roles related to: Cloud, DevOps, Back-end, Sys Admin, Networks, etc I agree, although I'd like to point out that it provides quite a huge advantage over developers who don't know how to use it
  7. Hi P
    I mean before purchasing, one option is to look it up on YouTube, but is there any other way? So far, with my next to zero knowledge I've come to the following conclusion: Less than 50 bucks = microphones pickup background noise easily Higher than 50 bucks = microphones do not pickup much background noise I highly doubt this is accurate, but it's what I have seen from videos
  8. Hi P
    Is that like a cable or like what other people describe as audio interfaces? Matter of fact, is there any downside to using an XLR to 3.5mm cable? Also for @EphraimK@Jordaneer So the XLR mic goes into that audio interface thing, then that thing is connected to the PC via USB?
  9. Hi P
    I've read that XLR to USB cables lower quality, so I guess we discard USB, right? But then... title
  10. Hi P
    Like this kind of products: https://www.amazon.com/APC-LE1200-Automatic-Voltage-Regulator/dp/B00009RA60
  11. Hi P
    But like, is there any benefit to have my UPS connected to a Voltage Regulator? Is it like, safer?
  12. Hi P
    I have the following UPS: Cyber Power CP1500PFCLCDa https://www.cyberpower.com/global/en/product/sku/cp1500pfclcda I had it connected to voltage regulator, so pretty much: UPS -> Voltage Regulator -> Power Socket Is there anything wrong with that? In my apartment, power variations (power spikes?) are quite common for some reason, very frequent between 8 a.m. to around 5 p.m. then it goes back to normal. So I had connected my UPS to a Voltage Regulator for extra protection. But, if I were to connect my UPS directly to the Power Socket, could my UPS tank those power variations?
  13. Hi P
    This is mostly out of curiosity Let's say that I write some functionality in C++ and it works in Windows 11 just fine. 1. Does it mean that it will work in just about any machine as long as it's Windows 11? 2. Would it work on any Windows version? Like Windows 10 3. What if I developed it in Ubuntu 22, would it work in future and past Ubuntu versions? 4. Would it work on different Linux distros? I have seen a handful of different compilers for C++ , hence the question Tagging @wasab as I have seen him mention this language
  14. Hi P
    Aside from power usage, is there a difference between turning off the Tv completely instead of just the screen? Wondering if one is better than the other
  15. Hi P
    I absolutely misread the word! I thought we were talking about Bash or PowerShell (since if I recall correctly, there's a way to run Bash on Windows) Shame on me hehe
  16. Hi P
    I personally use disinfecting wipes, such as the ones from the picture below I just get one, clean my space and drop it in the trash
  17. Hi P
    Truthfully, you are better off using PowerShell on Windows. Bash (among other shells) are more common on Linux environments. "X is far more powerful than Y" - is nonsense like : "Boots are better than Shoes" It pretty much depends on your skill, a tool can offer as much as your skill set. It depends Edit: I misread the word, but I will leave my post as is
  18. Hi P
    Yeah! I didn't know Dolby was basically HDR until it was pointed out in this thread I have the LG C3 42" which I love! I use it on a daily basis to work (as a monitor), then I switch to movies / series and they look stunning
  19. Hi P
    Oh my god, I didn't know Dolby Vision was basically HDR
  20. Hi P
    Tagging a few peeps @GuiltySpark_ @BetteBalterZen @BuzzingBee @Doobeedoo @Stahlmann
  21. Hi P
    Ever since I bought my OLED I've enjoyed playing games on it with HDR, but that's about it. I'm pretty sure that none of the movies I've watched on Prime or Disney Plus have been HDR, I do use LG's apps. At this point it feels like the only HDR content that I can watch are these 4k OLED demos on YouTube
  22. Hi P
    Something similar (but not quite the same) happened to one of my old monitors, I always cleaned it with a damp cloth
  23. Hi P
    My display is getting dusty and I would like to clean it, but if I recall correctly using water is a huge NO (I read it somewhere) So what do you use?
  24. Hi P
    It's this one: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/B450M-PRO-M2-MAX/Specification
  25. Hi P
    I could not find information about it. My parent's PC use that one and I wanted to give them my 1440p monitor, all they do is Youtube, Facebook, etc Can that CPU handle that resolution or should I upgrade it to something like a Ryzen 6 with on-board graphics?
