Chairs are technology and are pretty important to your setup.
Can you guys help a tall-man like myself (6'3)
Find an acceptable comfortable chair for my height?
Im browsing on amazon and it looks like in the chair department they have forgotten all about taller people, like they dont even think tall people were ever a thing.
Literally all chairs work for tall
people unless you're a fatass

Are there any 1440p monitors around 200-250$?
I don't really care about refresh rate or response time, as long as they are not too particularly awful. Instead I'd prefer a good panel quality, and it should be between 24 or 27 inches.
Do you think this is too much to ask, considering the price range?
My intention is to buy a 1070 in the future, but it's quite an overkill for my current 1080p. So logically I can't spend too much. Suggestions are welcome.
>>54567529
yea. Even a decent Korean 1440p panel in the 27" range will be $300. At your price range you'd be better off getting a 144hz 1080p panel. I would never recommend a 24" 1440p panel as the screen is way too small for the resolution. I'm playing on a 32" 1440p panel myself. If you NEED a new panel now, get a good 1080p. Otherwise save up into the $450 range and get something really good.
>>54567595
what size would you reccomend for 1440p? Would 27in be big enough?

What about the Acer G257HU?
Opinions?

Considering the discussion in the last thread on the bad things in newer thinkpads. Do you think Lenovo will improve?
Got any packages stuck in customs? Orders still processing? Always contact support asap whenever something is up, instead of waiting overly long and having protection/support expire.
Yes, we know everything is already from China but in here we discuss the no/low-name cheap shit you see on Gearbest, AliExpress, eBay and similar sites.

Why haven't you bought an apple ⌚️ yet /g/?
Experience applefags know to avoid v1.0 of any Apple product.
My mother is thinking the same thing. Thanks for reminding me I am pressured to buy a luxury watch even though my mother also works at a jewelry store.
Because the Apple ship sunk.
The future is vr and not chewing gum supplying wrist watches with 1 day battery runtimes.
what are /g/'s thoughts on G SYNC monitors?
are they THE FUTURE of displays
is the difference like night and day? i need to see one in action to really decide but no one i know has one
>>54565932
They just need to drop the gamer drivel and make it a common feature of monitors.
Movies would be so much better without the pan-shake effect from going from 24 hz to 60 hz. I really hope that it is the future, but I'm reluctant due to it now being called a 'gamer' feature.
G-Sync is proprietary horseshit. FreeSync is where it's at.
whatever 'gamer feature' its just a label it doesnt really change the tech for me
i was looking fucking monitors are like 820$
what is free sync

Has anybody here realized that programming and computer science in general was not for them. If you did, tell us your story. Are you a student or not? Do you want to kys? Have you tried changing your career for something else? Were you succesful?

>wanted to be in CS

>easy but boring as hell
>realized CS wasn't for me
>tried something else in highschool and followed my interests to university
In highschool I just did a bunch of research on what paths were available to me and tried a bunch of stuff. Ended up finding something I liked and went with that.
Programming and computer science are fun as fuck, but university is dragging me down. I spend most of my time on bullshit filler classes this semester, there's like 3 hours of classes in a week that interest me.
who here /undecided/
the time is slowly running out as I complete more of the core curriculum
i cant find a passion

Welcome to /fglt/. We are always open to users of all levels, including absolute beginners.
There are four ways to try GNU/Linux, you can:
0) Install a GNU/Linux OS on a VM (Virtual Machine/VirtualBox) for "safety purposes"
1) Use the Live ISO directly without installing anything, that way, you can get a "full GNU/Linux experience".
2) Dual-boot GNU/Linux with Windows/Mac (recommended if you want to learn more about GNU/Linux)
3) Go balls...

Is there anything special I should look out for or stay away from?
What are your horror stories?

just hope that you're not actually a business major lost in the cs department with over half your class

use large monitors, at least 32 inch, for your work.
dont jerk off to porno, this will decrease your brain function
drive, if you havent started to drive yet, so you can go out and buy the 32 inch monitor
If you can't already, start learning to program
can you touch type? how fast?
Your pic isn't touch typing. Touch typing is not having to look at the keyboard while you're typing. Most people who use computers more than a few hours a day should be capable of this if they aren't complete dullards.
>>54563261
Yes, about 60 words a minute. I don't do formal touch typing though, that's probably why I'm so slow.
>>54563261
I peak alot.
I never learned the whole hand placement thing, so my hands just hover over the keys.
I can only type at 70 max on the tests online.
However, anything video game related or meta like "kek lol faggot git gud" is atleast 120wpm.
