So, I own a thinkpad and sign in with my fingerprint.
I'm assuming that microsoft collects all the fingerprint data. How fucked am I?
They can replicate your print and leave it to implicate you in crimes you didn't commit. Better sand off your prints while you can.

Does that work?
Like do I just put my finger tips on a sander?
>>54736179
either that or you can put your hand into a jar of acetic acid.
Which piece of tech can I use to impress a girl with?

Hey /g/,
I'm buying the AKG K702's today, but unsure if it's worth the money?
Never owned Hi-Fi headphones before, so any $50+ 'phone is a HUGE upgrade for me.
Is it worth it? Otherwise that's +$249.00 for a new GPU!
>>54736018
Depends on how good is your hearing.
>>54736018
>Never owned Hi-Fi headphones before
It will be like getting an SSD. You will never go back.
>>54736082
Or like going black.

When it comes to monitors, what would you say is the slowest "acceptable" response time. Especially for gaming.
Some of my friends have been saying that anything slower than 5ms is useless, others said that 12ms is still perfectly fine. What do you think?
>>54735761
Well, if you play fps games like csgo, bf4, whatever, 12ms is a lot of time that can lead you to win o lose. If you work, i mean, programming, photo editing, video editing... it's not very importsn the response time.
is response time related to Hz?
>>54735898
No.

>it actually reached fury performance, the absolute madman
This is the best possible news
That means that the $299 or less dream card is here. It also means Vega could fucking destroy the 1080
>>54735607
Crossfire
The scaling is horrible, with proper driver, it should scale well past 1080.

Does that eve matter if their cards performs better than AMD's?
>>54735156
It matters to me. Not op, and this may sound stupid, but I was pretty disappointed when I found out my gtx 260 was a cut down gtx280, that's why I always buy flagships like the gtx 680 I'm using now.
>>54735174
But Maxwell was an incredible architecture, incredible performance, incredible frame times and incredible temperatures.
Whats there to complain if the card performs better than AMD, shouldn't you be complaining to AMD instead for not releasing something that can't compete after a complete architecture redesign

Amiga 500, DECstation 425i, Macintosh Classic, Compaq Armada 1250, Compaq 486 Presario, IBM IntelliStation, PowerMac G4, Dell Latidude C610.
Those are the ones actually DIED with me by their side, fried chipsets mostly, unfixable.
Probably more newer ones too, but can't recall them, some shit P4's and etc.
I hate Windows and I hate the fact that I have to use it.
Why? Why did DirectX win against OpenGL?
Why does every piece of software on Windows suck ass?
I swear I get fucking errors every single day.
Fuck
I just fucking hate Windows
I tried using Linux exclusively for 4 years and eventually went back to Windows because it had way less errors than Linux.
