Hahaha that's just fantastic.
I remember when HDV's were just becoming a thing and they would charge you like $20 per casette. Glad optical media will suffer a similar fate.
Because nobody fucking uses them. No demand = companies can charge as much as they want.
Everyone uses an SSD for their OS + programs, HDD for everything else, and a back-up HDD containing data off tue first HDD.
Why would someone learn C in 2016?

Because mpv is much better and fully opensource.
Thinking about upgrading to Windows 10 from 7 but I have a couple questions:
Is there actual proof that W10 sends data from your machine to MS? If so, exactly what does it send?
Does it really have ads? I know from some months ago there was a bit of controversy because they had a Tomb Raider promo displayed on lock screens. Have they gone any further with pushing advertising?
Do I need to make an MS account if I'm going the upgrade route?

Serious answer time:
1) Yes. There are several articles on it, there are a couple ways to try to stop it, but it's ultimately benign. It sends 'telemetry', basically search info, location info, version info, crash dump data, system logs, info about installed programs.
2) Yes, kinda. It promotes other Microsoft products (mostly bugging you to try the new version of office). You can turn off adds and suggestions in the start menu and notifications settings. I've never seen adds...

Is this a good card to get while I wait for polaris? I need to have something cheap to play on in the meantime and I dont have a gpu at the moment
No. Either get a used 970 or 980ti off craigslist/ebay or wait like an adult.
>>54747457
Is this renamed 7870? I am confused by all this r7 r9 shit.
>>54747457
Try to find an old 3dfx card. Those things were great with quake.
A friend of mine wants to buy my old computer. I was thinking 150 for everything in pic related, but I don't know if that's overcharging.
What do y'all think?
>friend
Sure. I guess if it were someone you wanted to milk a little you could get $200-$225 maybe.
>>54747451
>>54747451
I'm actually trying to do this person a favor since they can't afford to do a real build right now. I just wanted to make sure that the price in my head wasn't a ripoff. So if it's worth 200ish, then 150 is ok with me
I'd go for 150 and a BJ.
Every generation has their stories... Lets have a thread about the history of technology framed by decade. I'll start with some of my perceptions going back to 1960's
1960's: Space race, moon landing, ARPANET, early computers
1970's: Circuit integration, wide spread availability of electronic components
1980's: Homebrew computers, PC, Dial-up BBS systems
1990's: Internet access becomes commonplace, gopher, early web browser, netscape changes everything for WWW, computers get faster every year, GPU shows up
2000's: ...ok, computers...

2020's Software becomes shittier and shittier as more women get into programming.
2030's The population growth has reduced as more men have turned to VR women.
>>54747296
Nigga you forgot cellphones becoming commonplace, Followed by smart phones becoming common place, Broadband being widely available, Machine learning, Voice recognition, image recognition, Wikipedia becoming useful and not a joke, Increasing storage density, cheap solid-state storage, elastic internet connected off-site servers (cloud). GPS being readily available.
Oh yeah and a fucking 5$ computer.
Tell me again all we've done is make things faster in the last 16 years.
Alright, /g/.
Tell me where I can figure out how to write a RAT.
>>54747259
first you need to install gentoo.
>>5474727
This truly is the only way
www.google.com
Why the fuck do these resolutions exist, with the exception of 1080p and MAYBE 4k if it's on a 40 inch screen?
Because you're a fucking retard.
>>54747360
Great argument
You're retarded.
Contrary to popular belief, being a retarded luddite won't score you any /g/ points.
Hi /g/, what would be best, doing a minimal debian install or just installing gentoo?
My needs are:
1) customisability
2) stability and security
3) able to work with my hardware and software without any major issues
4)Support
Fuck off
>>54747167
Why? If you give me a reason I will.
install gentoo
I feel like I've reached the end game for /g/

What is there to do next? Am I fully living a meme?
coreboot/libreboot?
Start transitioning to female.
Noodle around with code and programming but never really get anywhere with it.
Start a youtube channel for reviewing consumer hardware.

All I need to complete that list is a meme keyboard.
