Is VMWare really better than VirtualBox?
Trying to run a Linux guest on a Windows host
>>54810865
In my experience, it really depends on your particular machine
For some computers, vmware seems to outperform virtualbox, and vice versa for other computers.
Try them both out, and see which you like better.
>>54810865
>Linux guest on a Windows host
then they're identical. VMWare gets way better when you have to maintain a system with many virtual machines
You seen this NodeOS?

What did he mean by this?
It means they, like almost every other large website, track you with cookies everywhere you go.
but i only use reddit with a disposable e-mail for porn

Good luck with that.

So I'm not the most tech savvy. I have a surround sound system in my room. Why does music sound so much better on my system when I play it via my Xbox than when I plug my system into my laptop's headphone input? (RCA system input)
Is there any way to make it sound better through my laptop, or is something on my laptop busted?
Pic unrelated.
Get a life. Go spend some time together with your sister.

bump for this.
Is this your terminal or a terminal emulator?
I need my stuff to look like that.
Hey guys-
I have a problem with my laptop- it keeps saying that it is "plugged in but not charging". I am running windows 10, as I just upgraded from windows 8 today, thinking that it might fix the problem (This happened a few days ago).
I have tried shutting down, restarting, taking the battery out, uninstalling and reinstalling the battery drivers, etc. Anyone else have this problem with a windows 10 laptop?
Thanks; also pic unrelated
Maybe you should stop being a fucking windows pleb and upgrade your computer to arch linux. If you can't figure it out then you should just fuck off this board. I bet you tried something like n00buntu LMFAO
Also; Read the sticky. Not your tech support.
Sorry, I didn't read the sticky as I do not come here much. Usually I can figure out tech problems by myself, but in this case I could not. I have tried linux before, and I'm not a fan. Also, what the fuck is n00buntu, and how can I try that if I didn't even mention it?
You know what? Forget I said anything. Why do I even bother
tell me why windows 8.1 isn't the most based os out there?
because windows 7 is the most based os
>>54810139
explain how 7 is better

Wincucks, everyone.
I've heard both ways that the most secure password is either a random string of characters (j6n4kgfhyr8jr8jf9) or something personal.(MyBigDogRex) Which one is more secure?
>>54810094
It depends on a lot of things, but a long sequence of random characters is the most secure. However, that shit is obviously incredibly difficult to remember. If you want something you can actually remember, you'll obviously want to use words.
When it comes to passwords made of a string of words, you want to use very uncommon words or made up words, and don't try to form a sentence with them.
Also, "common" substitutions are useless (i -> 1, e -> 3, etc.)
>>54810094
A password gets exponentially harder to crack with each character. Dictionary attacks can make it slightly easier to crack a password, but if your password is 20 characters with some nonsensical substitutions, it doesn't really matter because it would still take forever to guess.
>>54810094
With quantum computers it won't matter as the most complex passwords will still be cracked in a few days.
Hey all,
Working on a talk I'm giving across the pond at the end of this year, and wanted to get your take on something. This is for API professionals in the biz-dev space.
I'm specifically defining the differences between these three terms:
API Definition
API Documentation
API Specification
I have my own take on exactly where the line is, but I want to get your take as well, if you have one, so that it's not just me being autistic about semantics.
So how would you define those terms?
So nobody in /g/ does coding anymore? Really?
Fucking casual scum.
>>54810854
>Fucking casual scum.
/g/ is for programming.
>>54810875
And this is directly related to programming. I'm specifically giving this talk in relation to the Open API Specification update. Intrinsically related.
Does /g/ ever stream their desktop to their phone?
I used Splashtop for a while but it's so shitty that it was only ever on occasion, when I really needed something. Are there any alternatives that aren't also shit? Ideally I'd like something that will lock itself to a specific window.

>>All the good packages are in AUR
What. no they're not. I rarely ever have to install something from the AUR.
99% of my stuff is from the official repos.
>>54809695
Do you seriously think that letting users contribute random binaries is a good idea? This is the kind of faggots who opens "porn_movie.avi.exe" and then blames the OS for his own stupidity.
I dont understand the worship for Linux when TempleOS is a far superior operating system.
>>54809690
but it can't use the internet
>>54809800
Internet == botnet bullshit. Ditch it.

Where the fuck are my groups in webui?
Where the fuck are my per-group seeding / ratio options?
Where the fuck is my sorting options?
Why the fuck is there a gear (options) and a spanner (also options)
No to mention that this shit is banned on iptorrents and 90% of private sites
Seriously which client does /g/ use?
>>54809680
i use the transmission web ui it's great.
>>54809700
It would be if there were groups.
