Hey guys, I just reinstalled Ubuntu and my Ubuntu Software Center is messing up. I can't install or even view any other programs. Anyone know what the problem is?
>>54505493
you using linux is the problem
Ubuntu software center is shit so if reccomend using windows 10 because it has a better app store
Update and rstart, it's a known bug, plus everyone knows the first 5 months of an OS is just beta testing, i'm waiting for 16.04.1 to upgrade from 14.04
Took apart a couple of old laptops and removed their HD's before doing away with the laptops themselves.
Best methods to make HD's kill?
Also pic unrelated.

A huge ass impact drill.
>>54505368
disassemble them, take a hammer to the platters and keep the magnets for shit
>>54505368
I usually drill through the case and platters with my drill press.
I have always wanted to make thermite though, might do that next time I have a whole bunch.

This is going to be good right? Having AMD release Vega sooner, we'll see actual compotition between Nvidia and AMD?
>>54505239
Waiting until October is going to be painful but fuck them for holding it back, hopefully it pushes nvidia to bring their Volta out next year and Navi from AMD sooner
It's probably to try and coincide with the release of Battlefield 1, seeing how much of a relationship Dice has had with AMD in the past.
I like the news but bah gawd its going to be a nightmare trying to buy one on release, just like with the Fury X.
I gave up last year because they were all out of stock and ended up with a 980ti.
So really, October is not going to mean a lot unless they can get enough stock out or its substantially superior to the 1080.
Who else collects and still uses vintage/outdated AV hardware?
>What is in your collection?
>What are you looking to add to it?
>Where do you keep it / How do you use it?
>>54505230
>What is in your collection?
Laserdisc player and old consoles hooked up to a PVM in one corner of the room. Turntable hooked up to a shitty amp in another corner.
>What are you looking to add to it?
Currently waiting on a Pioneer sX-680 receiver and an unopened Sony MiniDisc deck I ordered.
>Where do you keep it / How do you use it?
Currently separate from all my modern equipment, but I'm contemplating ditching the PVM and getting a scaler for my HDTV or merging all of my old tech into one corner. Admittedly they don't get as much use as my modern TV but it's fun to watch shitty 90s films on LD every now and again.
>>54505303
>Zenith Allegro
Is that an 8-track player? Do you ever use it? I heard they have a pretty poor shelf life.

Reminder that vaping is technology
Has it already all been bought up?
It's going to be reselling for 50x what it was a few weeks ago.
People are stocking up for life.
Money to be made
>>54505138
is vape hardware imports dead now?
>>54505218
if you want to save a couple of bucks no.
a local vape shop had a massive stock up this week though and it seems like the interest is very high on eleaf, smok, wismec and kangertech vaporizers
Vaping is technology in the same way that lightbulbs are, only infinitely less interesting because it's all the same shit
>my coil, switch, and battery are better than yours
>nuh uh my coil is wound slightly tighter
Also enjoy your unregulated liquid and flavoring chemicals that haven't been studied as inhalants
maybe a stance thread on /o/ would be a better home for you
If you were to use a Computer and you needed to make the choice between a IBM/Lenovo Think brand or a HP Pro brand what would you choose. http://www.strawpoll.me/10190095 CAST YOUR VOTE HERE AND DISCUSS THE REASON YOU CHOSE THE OPTION http://www.strawpoll.me/10190095

If you are curious why I wanted you to vote for Business Desktops over Business Laptops here are a couple reasons for my choice.
>Consumer-Grade Business Laptops
This is specific to the Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga and most of Dell's non-expensive Business Computers.
>No Chicklet Keyboards
Most business computers come with a non-mechanical keyboard but still are comfy on the hands. Only in a few cases does HP and Lenovo put Chicklet keyboards...

Alright, jewglers. Give us some internal gossip on moot. What sort of technolo/g/y is he working on?
He's working on google+
>>54505187
Will he make it anonymous?
>>54505192
We can only hope.
So has anyone found the location of the actual filesystem the Windows 10 bash shell uses? I mean the actual storage of the ext4 filesystem.
>>54504923
>I mean the actual storage of the ext4 filesystem.
does not use ext4, as far as I know it just talks right to your NTFS. You can create files on disk in winbash and they appear in windows explorer and vice versa
%localappdata%\lxss\rootfs
Thank you.
Quick tests on my new build.
Nobody needs more than 4GB RAM.

the Xeon 0000 is my favorite
Why does almost every gaming laptop look like an autistic children's toy?
Yeah, I get that a large part of the market is spoiled rich kids who don't know anything about PCs,
but what about for professional contractors who have to travel pretty much 100% of their time for their careers?
Gigabyte seems to be the only brand that I know of that actually keeps their design on the down low, but I heard their reliability was questionable.
It's shocking how few options there are out there for professional looking laptops with a solid GPU.
Because gaming is for autistic children

What kind of battery is this?
>black cylinder shape
>4v, 2.2ampers
that's all the information I could get on it, but I need to order a replacement, an exact model or something close enough to replace it
Just search Amazon for 4.8v batteries and solder one in.
>>54504820
4.8 volts, 2.2 amp hours?
try searching the numbers on it to see if one of them is a serial number.
Why aren't you using it /g/ ?
https://www.eff.org/privacybadger
Because uBo does everything I need already.
>>54504797
it's doesn't block tracking efficiently if you're talking about disconnect list (hell it's even build into firefox)
>>54504844
What do you mean by it doesn't do it "efficiently"?
