That's on the other side of the house next to the back door. The outlet is literally right outside my bedroom and bathroom doors. It's almost in the door jam
Sure, but that's not the way the lineups are. All else being equal, your choices are:
$100-$150:
Ryzen 3 - 4C4T
Core i3 - 4C4T
$150-$300:
Ryzen 5 - 4C8T or 6C12T
Core i5 - 6C6T
$300-$500:
Ryzen 7 - 8C16T
Core i7 - was 6C12T, rumor has next gen 8C8T
The only matchup that's not either an exact tie or an outright win for AMD is the low-end "5"s: 4C8T vs 6C6T. But the "3"s are an even match and everything else, if rumor holds true, has them both equal on core count but AMD double the thread count.
Power flickered, UPS clicked and my 1080 Ti no longer shows up and only one monitor is working. Had youtube videos playing still in the background so the system didn't reboot.
But then I used my phone to trigger sleep mode and bring it back to hopefully keep my work, and then it did... reboot. But then all my work is still open as if nothing happened.

I have also noticed that Windows doesn't want to really shut down anymore properly, it sometimes reopens minimized things and whatnot.
I have that functionality disabled specifically. It's called Fast Start and it can mess with some hardware since behind the scenes it's basically hibernate.
I can't disable that shit on my work laptop, and it drives me nuts because even on an i7-7820HQ, 32GB of RAM and 512GB SSD equipped laptop, attempting to Outlook, Skype, MS Teams, Visual Studio, Firefox, and SSMS all at once will still bring it to its knees.
I haven't had an issue with fast boot "reopening minimized things" personally, I mean, that feature has been there since Windows 8. However, recently Windows has taken to load up programs that were open when I shut off my computer last - that's definitely new behaviour and wasn't part of fast boot originally at least. I know Mac's been doing that sort of stuff for a while (or at least had the option), but personally I find it sort of aggravating.
I fucking yearn for the day when we can't just keep making processors faster anymore and we can just keep throwing more RAM into computers so software companies will finally be forced to actually optimize their shit
I was hoping that smartphones would lead to that, but now we have 6GB RAM and 8 core CPUs in phones instead.
Unless you use your smartphone as a gaming device, they really shouldn't need anything more than a dual core CPU, 2GB RAM, and a GPU with hardware decoding for all the popular video formats.
Yet here we are, with phones like that barely managing to have two or three apps open at a time without crashing. Android was a mistake.
Hopefully some day we'll see the second coming of Meego.
I still haven't upgraded from my Nexus 5. Keep meaning to, since the camera's broken, but I keep procrastinating. Plus, the Nokia 5.1 looks like exactly what I want, but it's not available in the states yet AFAICT.
Related: my OG Droid continues to set personal uptime records, and is currently at 36646h46m.
Eh?
So what you're saying is your computers are slow and you should replace them.
I regularly use a 2006 Mac Pro, literally a decade old, running Windows 10 (Home Edition, so I don't even get access to half my cores, thanks a fucking lot Bill) and usually way too many programs. I don't have these input lag issues you're going on about; there's rarely more than two frames of latency on mouse or keyboard input, and I'd say 99% are visible next frame.
Your performance is unacceptable but I believe you are misplacing the blame.
I can only attest to the Windows 10 crap, but whenever the new interface is used, I've noticed multi-frame latency. If I go some time without opening the start menu, or notification bar, trying to open them is very slow at first. The Windows 10 clock/calendar is reliably slow to open up, same with task view.
For me, very much not a hardware or malware issue, just Windows 10 being itself.
also problem 1: if you're complaining about lag on a pc while using USB devices to complain about the input lag, tbh you've already lost
you can't solve the "the computer should drop everything and do what the user wants" if the CPU itself has to poll the devices for their input status
One SSD, three hard drives, plus I think two more screwed in but not wired up. I can't remember exactly what each is for, except one of them still has an OS X partition on it (and probably the bootloader?)
The Mac is at the office, I won't be able to check for sure until Tuesday, but I've not noticed more than a frame of latency except when things are going very wrong (Imgur's front page freezes Firefox on that machine, for some ineffable reason, and PuTTY likes to hang when a grep of the project's source accidentally matches on a minified javascript file).
This is kind of outdated advice - USB is plenty fast enough to respond within 16ms, which is all you need for single-frame response times. And again, Northern Lights is complaining about multi-second hitches - that's not a polling-vs-interrupt difference, that's a this-computer-is-fucked problem.
You will note that all current game consoles and all current VR headsets communicate over USB when wired up. These are dedicated machines with a strong focus on latency minimization and they don't see any problem with polling.
i mean obviously, but if there's some lag anywhere it'll be amplified by polling/interrupt
but it's still a "this PC fucked" situation i won't disagree
My phone from 2010 had 512MB internal memory and 256MB of RAM. It ran messenger and a browser almost fine.
Now I have 3GB of RAM and it can barely handle firefox, snapchat and messenger without one or the other crashing. Granted, I probably have a lot more background shit running (spotify, google fit and whatnot) but still, I am disappointed in modern devs.

The UI signals it's received the click, and then it's ~24 frames before the calendar even begins its animation.
Start menu is fine right now, same with notifications, though those can get multi-frame latency if let sit unused for long enough.
Looks like I might be flying to Austalia to work a booth at PAX for Elgato/Corsair. Was asked if I'd be up for doing it.
Dunno how many of you have looked but Florida is almost exactly the antipode of Australia. It's literally a 24hour flight. So I'm not sure I'm up for that.
Watch out for the drop bears.
Is it pride month there in October or something
For the low low price of 48 hours travelling, you get to see Scratch IRL
One hairy boat fucker
That's hugely exaggerated other than Windows, but your point stands
Classic Mac OS was great because user input triggered a gotdamn CPU interrupt. Shit had no choice but to respond immediately.
Check out cheap flights from Europe to Asia, at least Helsinki to Hong Kong is basically all Qatar Airways flights that go via Qatar, 24-25 hours minimum. But that's not 24-25 hours in the air, there's massive overnight layovers because the Hong Kong flights depart 8-10 hours after you land.
There's Finnair flights that go the polar route but they're more expensive. Like 2x more expensive.
I flew to India for like 20h in a cramped 737, with a fueling stop in Dubai, where the plane didn't have AC and we were just boiling.
I fly SYD->LAX and back routinely (About monthly at this point), You'll get about 13 hours one way, 15 hours the other, depending on conditions.It sucks but you get used to it, but it sure is a nice way to rack up frequent flyer points.
The main thing I have to say here is for that route, if you're flying economy, ONLY fly Delta or Virgin Australia. I've done every other carrier offering the route and they all suck one way or another, Delta is the carrier that looks after you the best there with Virgin Australia offering effectively the same service, just without internet access. Qantas used to be better but they've gone downhill in the past few years, unfortunately. Air New Zealand is terrible for economy but their premium economy offering is very, very nice if you can afford it.
