>>54784353
I know right? Also what the fuck is AMD thinking with releasing R9 480p GPU? Nobody will buy that outdated shit.
GTX 1080p > R9 480p
AMD should bankrupt already

What ISN'T a meme in tech, /g/? Buying an underspecced prebuild PC and running Windoze like a fucking normie?
Pic sorta related. I don't consider having 16GB of ram is a meme though.
>>54784239
tech itself is a meme, but we're all too far gone, so we just keep progressing in it
>>54784239
Everything not needed is a meme.
>>54784279
OK then, what IS needed?
Does g/ capitalize folder and filenames? Does g/ use '-' or '_'? dah!
>>54784119
Neither because I'm not retarded and can use escape characters

Are these things still backdoored/rooted? I just bought a 460p and my coworker told me to kiss my privacy goodbye.
>>54784007
yes, anything running windows has a backdoor.
anything intel, especially vpro, has a backdoor.
tinfoil hat liberal alarmist coworker you mean?

I don't think any Thinkpads were affected by Superfish.
https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/product_security/superfish
Thinkpads are their business line. Some organizations (e.g. the US Government) really care about security and audit the machines before buying them. That is a big, high-budget market which Lenovo wouldn't want to piss off.
Is Network Security a good field?
Only if you're very good. If all you can do is run metasploit on the network you'll be making less than minimum wage.

Pretty full right now
The future is social engineering and mobile attacks, good old hacking is pretty much dead.
My cellphone battery refuses to hold a charge, but I need to communicate with my employer, who has only used phone calls and texts in the past. What's the best online SMS platform to use while I wait on a new battery? I'm running Linux Mint 13 on an old-as-shit laptop, if that matters.
>>54783994
your carrier should have a websms page
>>54784022
Neat, looking into it now. I'm using Verizon.
>>54783994
Email client of your choice. As far as I know, all carriers provide email to text bridges where you can email to personscell#@carrier'sbridge (ie if you want to text someone who has Verizon service you use [email protected]). You can also text to email addresses and it's considered the same as a regular text message.
Why aren't you using Opera VPN?
Just a glorified proxy - https://gist.github.com/spaze/558b7c4cd81afa7c857381254ae7bd10
>>54784438
Is that good?
>>54784604
Their "turbo" doing basically the same thing.
To answer your question - it's not good nether bad, it's just silly marketing to call "secure proxy" a vpn.
Also, don't forget that they probably keep on logs, so it not that private after all.
Every time I upgrade my primary monitor to a larger one, it feels gigantic and incredibly impressive at first, and then rapidly I get used to it and it feels like a normal size, with my old screens feeling small and cramped.
How large is your main display, /g/? Do you think there's a practical limit?
>>54783889
>How large is your main display
27"
>Do you think there's a practical limit?
Really depends on the distance to the monitor. When it comes to width, there is really no limit, but I'd hate to look up all the time.
I have to monitors. 42 and 48 inch. The 48 inch is on a table to the right, 42 inch is right in front of me.
>>54783889
2 24" screens. if I want to go bigger I need a new desk
I'm gonna install Arch on my memebook (pic related).
How does this make you feel?
>>54783357
It doesn't make me feel anything, do what you want
Pretty good
>>54783357
So you wamt to use your hardware the way you want? Good for you.
Okay, I can't fix this on my own so I'm posting here and on forums. Pls help and sorry for the blogpost.
Hello!
I am trying to recover the data on the mass internal storage of a Nokia N8 that has been water-damaged. The data is of sentimental value to my partner's family member, so I am trying my best before contacting a data recovery company as we cannot currently afford the probably very expensive service.
The phone does not power on, nor does it show the regular charging indicator, [I]however[/I] when the battery is what I've began...
Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
The phone has been opened, cleaned, and left to dry for several weeks. I have bought a used N8 as I had misplaced the charging plate and thought it might be useful for diagnostics as well. The screen of the water-damaged phone seems to be in working order, so the motherboard is the only one that seems to be affected severely. I've also bought a Nokia CA-101 data cable as the ones I had did not seem to connect the working phone to the computer via USB -- now the working phone gives an error when connecting the cable and says to remove the cable (at least it's being...

You fucking drag the little blank space next to them to the right you fucking mongoloid
>>54783402
>little blank space next to them
What the fuck are you talking about nigger?
You can't have context-aware pageActions anymore. Jewgle decided that the users are too stupid to know what extensions they have installed, so their solution was to cram every icon next to the address bar.
Sure, you can hide them into the hampoorger menu, but then if you want to use an extension you have to do two clicks instead of one.
Post you're speeds!
>>54783235
Ok
This is literally the best connection in my area. Kill me.
>still not using the HTML5 version
what is wrong with you stupid bastards? Do you enjoy flash THAT much that you refuse to use HTML5?
THANK YOU BASED INTEL
$1700 for a cpu?
I only wish it was $3000. intel deserves it. :)
>>54782653
This is professional class of CPUs. Your gayming class will come later. Also I do not see anyone ranting about 2000$ Firepro/Quadro GPUs so fuck off.
>>54782754
If it is "professional" class, why does the pic specify "graphics" cards?
I'm sure "professionals" have other expansion cards in mind.
RAID cards or NICs for instance. Perhaps Xeon Phi coprocessors.
Data acquisition cards.
