I really like freetype's stock subpixel hinting now.
Maybe there's no need for Infinality anymore.

To me it looks decent enough.

Why is this a surprise?
They've been doing it (both AMD and Nvidia) for ages now with benchmarking software.
Every time you see "Improved performance in $benchmark", that's what they're doing.
>>55617449
it's not, at least not in perceptible ways.
more often than not it's just "oh this is wasting cycles doing x when it could be doing y which is way more useful"
What went wrong?
Digg and Reddit happened

You're right, Slashdot was proto-Digg.

Anyone got one of these? Its the Fire tablet (7 inch version). Good for anything or just junk? How much botnet for 60€?

I love VB.net, and I think it's an entirely defensible position that, in narrow applications it's perfect.
Sometimes you just want a quick and dirty windows application, and it doesn't come any quicker or dirtier than vb

I love Visual Basic
It allows me to create a GUI to track an IP

I agree OP. Plus it's very refreshing to write a VB program after using all these C-based curly braces languages.
ITT: We give each of the challenges a difficulty level (easy, medium, difficult, and something harder than difficult... Need a name for that one)
I've already put difficulty levels on some of them, just need suggestions.
You can also do the challenges, if you want
This should be easy, but I'm having a hard time with it.
Create a form validation in javascript so that, whenever you select an option from the selector (example - option 2), you get an alert if a corresponding text box isn't filled out.
For example, the selector would say "How would you like us to contact you?" The options are email, phone, snail mail, whatever. If you select email, but leave the "email" form text input box empty, it prompts you.
But only if you select the email option in the selector.
This is...

It seems you're not checking the state of the text boxes correctly... Try changing how you check the input

>It seems you're not checking the state of the text boxes correctly... Try changing how you check the input
...what are you talking about? I didn't even post up any code.
My problem with the issue is not "checking the input" or getting javascript to call an alert if the text box is empty. My problem is getting both of these both to happen at once. For whatever reason the && or + operator isn't working and I'm not sure why.
So we practically have a couple of threads each day about torrent clients, yeah we know the deal is uTorrent 2.0.4 or Deluge, and for some people qBittorrent is heaven meanwhile for others completely broken, the same story every day.
Now I want to talk about Download Managers, because I'm sick of the bloated JDownloader but I failed to find decent alternatives, even MyPony is bloated this days.
Is there something fast, compatible with most hosts (like not only the most popular, I use all kinds) that isn't a complete piece of shit? No adware, resume downloads...

Just tried uGet, it just doesn't work.
As in, if I don't add the url and recognizes it automatically, its useless.
>>55616418
Use it all the time at work, but no thanks.
>>55616000
JDownloder is pretty bloated, yes, but there aren't many/any alternatives. Depending on what you're downloading, and what web browser your using, the Firefox addon DownThemAll might suit your needs.
Hi /g/, don't usually come here. But what's a good power bank to get for my phone on Amazon / eBay? I have a Sony Xperia G.
If you don't need it right away I would recommend backing this project and getting the omnicharge:

Sorry, it's a Xperia Z1 and I'm getting pissed off trying to remove the back of this thing. Why do they never make it easy?
>>55615966
Just get the Xiaomi 10000mAh powerbank off banggood or gearbest. You just need to wait about a month for it to arrive but it's worth. Ask in the /csg/ for more info
Has anybody built a PC with the barebones Z87 Asrock M8? It used to be expensive and it just dropped to $200.
Supposedly it has amazing Linux support, a good quality PSU, great build quality, and can house 6 HDDs and a full length GPU under a 250w TDP.
I'm just worried about thermals and investing into an older platform.
Oh and it has an both a rear and frontpanel amp by creative for up to 250ohm headphones.

isn't this the one where they were retarded with the airflow and decided to make it spin around or some shit by having push and pull fans everywhere ?

apparently the 750 ti now comes with 2048gb of GDDR5

My laptop has a 750ti with 4gb of VRAM. Can actually play some titles at 4k.
Only Nvidia card worth a shit.

Can /g/ guess what happened?
You don't have a surge protector?
>>55641823
I do, but it came in through the coax. Fried the modem, hopped to its ethernet port, fried the network card and motherboard of my router.
I had a coax surge protector a while ago, but I removed it because it stopped passing signal. Possibly due to a surge, in retrospect...

It's just one of those days I'm glad electricity doesn't travel on fiber.
