hey /g/entoomen, how come my wifi only works on windows ?
i have an Alpha with an RTL8187l chip.
the wifi i'm trying to connect to is pretty far away, -58db is the best i could get.
while on linux i can connect to it but then thats it, it seems that all my packets are lost.
i changed my txpower to 30 but it still the same.
on windows however, it works ! altho i get qute a few packet loss i can still use internet.
how is that possible ?
ps: linux can connect and use closer wifi networks just fine

No idea, I have a 8187B and it always worked fine
>>55566005
Just use Ethernet.

RTS/CTS adds a handshake before each packet transmission to make sure that the channel is clear. This adds overhead, but
increases performance in case of hidden nodes or a large number of active nodes. This parameter sets the size of the

Probably going to buy one of these unlocked next week.
Are they a meme or what? Need a good, fast phone that'll last me a few years.
What's /g/'s opinion?

I'm with this guy OP.
I had an HTC One M7 and replaced it with a Nexus 5.
Currently have a HTC One M9 and can't wait to replace it with a new Nexus.

Nexus phones have no micro sd slots though.

Fingerprinting is the newest way of tracking you across websites.
It's being done right now by companies like Google.
Because unlike cookie based tracking you can't defeat it just by disabling cookies.
There is currently NO FOOLPROOF DEFENCE against fingerprinting (except quitting the Internet).

I'm sure arguing over which video card manufacturer is worse is more important than talking about tracking that puts the NSA to shame

I'm getting a new laptop soon and want to return to Linux. I've used Mint and Ubuntu in the past... But, want to try something new.
I'm not the type who can compile kernels - which is why I usually stick with Mint.
What's the current "user friendly" Distro? Still Mint and Ubunto? What about Gentoo? Red Hat?
Fedora
>>55565836
Xubuntu, it just werks. If you take the time to learn about how extensions work and find better window decorations for it, Ubuntu GNOME is pretty nice too.
>>55565836
Experiment in this order:
Puppy, Elementary, Mint, Ubuntu, Debian, openSUSE, Manjaro, Arch, Gentoo, You'll find comfy somewhere in there.
Is this only good ultraportable laptop right now?
Pretty much. All the others are 16:9
>>55565816
Wrong board.
>>>/fa/
>>>/lgbt/
yes, because it's the only one that runs OS X.
All versions; TN, IPS, 144mhz, 2k, 4k [...]
What do you use and would you recommend it?
Literally commit suicide, seriously.
Personally, I use a Samsung SyncMaster B2230 wich gave me 5 good years, but now I'm looking for a new main monitor for gaming (and I would use the B2230 as second monitor).
When I look up reviews, they seems like they all have problems; the colors are not good enough, the refresh rate, the bluriness... I'm currently looking up the ASUS VG248QE but the price is a little steep... Something else I should consider in the 150-250$? I don't mind the resfresh rate all that much, but i want something around 24 inchs.
Thank you!

No.
Is water cooling worth getting?

You know that kid died in a car crash a few years ago right? They say posting this image will curse you.
Of course.
Stick with closed loops unless you know what you're doing though.
>>55565725
If you have to ask, then the only type that could be worth it is All-in-One types (pic related).
It's mainly for looks over performance though. Significant amount of aircoolers perform on-par with watercoolers, and they're usually a bit louder because they have a motor in the pump.

How secure are your passwords, /g/?
>>55565346
>testing your passwords by typing them in to some website
well they're not secure anymore
>>55565353
Just type in a password that's similar to your own but not the same.
>>55565346
Really really unsecure. I basically use "cuckmylifeintopiecesthisismylastdivorce" on all my accounts. Looks safe but I bet some nerd has it in his dictionary attack list thing.
