Dear techdiary,
It has now been 3 months since I had the fateful idea of building a PC. It led me to needing a keyboard, which led me to mechanical keyboards, which led me to now having 5 expensive mechanical keyboards in my possession, albeit 2 temporarily. The end is not on the horizon yet. In fact, I have another one coming soon. Scared regards, rika |

this is a great idea and we should make this its own thread! <3, zach |
I'm just happy with my one mechanical keyboard. Don't think I'll be upgrading it until it dies.

once you go mechanical, you never go back.
I adore my keyboard rn, only upgraded it when my old one dies or when I don't like using it anymore, which was the case with my old Logitech G710+ I tend to swap peripherals when things go bad in games :v |
My keyboard has been working for four years,It will work......
|
Ahaha and here I am already thinking about what to build next xD
|
build a TV rika you can do it
|
Naaa maybe another computer tho
|
im kind of ashamed i still dont know how to build a computer yet... my mind is making it out to be way harder than it probably is ;_;
|
I had the same mindset a few years ago till I started to upgrade my PC and realized it's easier than I thought it would be
and then I built my current PC and my sisters PC |

i havent build a computer yet either, just been learning the parts though of them.
|
Building a computer is very fun! I look forward to the day I can build another one 😊
|
I need to prevent myself from rebuilding my PC
|
i haven't the slightest clue how to build one, but my ex was really good at it. He built his own twice.
I barely even know how to replace my graphics card LOL |
My friends love that kind of thing, building computers from parts. For me I'm just too intimidated by it. I feel like whatever I build will inevitable blow up on my face. ;(

So today I watched the stream of AMD’s presentation at Computex in Taiwan a little while back(May 28th to June 1st if anyone was wondering) and they announced several things, including that their new line of Ryzen processors release next month and cost no more than $500(most expensive being a 12 core processor). In addition to being compatible to old Motherboards thanks to the AM4 socket, new Motherboards are coming to the market with a new chipset slated to take advantage of PCIe 4.0. This means faster data speeds for your hardware(like Graphics Cards) compared to PCIe 3.0.
TLDR: AMD is now the King of the Hill for the foreseeable future as Intel won’t be releasing 10nm Desktop CPU’s until 2020(and that’s a big if). Meaning for the rest of 2019 and likely all of 2020, AMD will hold the #1 title at a fraction of the cost of what Intel offers. Seeing as I intend to upgrade to a new Computer Rig later this year after roughly 9 years of abusing my current Computer, this latest Ryzen CPU will likely be my choice(3800x most likely at $400 compared to I9-9900k at $500(give or take $50)). Basically getting the same performance(if not better) at a much cheaper price. Anyone else thinking of getting a new Computer in 2nd half of 2019? |
The other day I upgraded my laptop's WiFi/Bluetooth chip from an Intel 3165 to the Intel 8260. It's working out very great and I couldn't be any more happy with the speeds it can provide over wireless now. The previous chip topped at a rate of only 433 Mb/s, but the new one tops at 866!

Doubling speed is nice isn't it? From what I've been reading about PCIe 4.0 from AMD is that there's a new line of Solid State Drives slated to take advantage of it that can reach speeds of nearly 5 GB/second. That's just on Solid State Drives. No clue what advantage that will yield for Graphics Cards built for 4.0 and whether NVidia will respond to AMD's latest line of GPU's slated to be released next month solely for that purpose. Then there's ASUS claiming that their new line of Motherboards for AMD Zen 2(aka Ryzen 3000 series AMD just announced) can squeeze every last ounce of frequency from overclocking Memory(RAM). Apparently that's a significant boast since AMD CPU's rely on RAM to operate at their best.
Granted everything I'm reading is just pure speculation at this point. Everyone will know more when the CPU's release next month and even more when the latest AMD GPU's go live as well sometime in August(since I doubt a late July release is going to happen). |
iPad Pro 12.9 inch (2018) was on sale today and $100 cheaper, so I finally caved and ordered along with an Apple Pencil (Generation 2), case, and matte screen protector. Sooo excited to finally be able to draw directly on a screen. My current tablet is one of the plug-into computer ones and it's okay, but I really would so much rather draw on something directly. Plus it hurts my arm. pls get here soon!!!
|
I have a laptop where I can detach the screen and use it as a tablet and honestly the convenience is amazing whenever I do need it so I don't blame you at all, Janna. xD
|
aaa yes! It is really convenient, I miss actually having my own tablet (got it from dad in high school and it died years back after lots of use, lol). Plus I can get an app that shares what I draw on the iPad to my Macbook screen so going back and forth will be really easy if there's anything I can better edit on the computer 👍
