Alright /g/, how bad did I fuck up
Ordered this (Beyerdynamic DT-990-Pro-250) and an amp (Monoprice 111567 Desktop Headphone Amplifier) last night and should be here tomorrow. I'm jumping straight from "gaming" headsets (my Logitech G35 finally shat the bed) to real headphones since I barely talk online anymore anyway. Pretty much using these for gaymes and music. Without checking forums for input or asking here first. How hard did I just fuck myself?
Haven't personally tried those headphones but Beyer stuff is generally pretty good. Might've been better to go for an O2 Amp + DAC instead of the Monoprice one.

You can power it just fine with anything.

Have fun with the farty bass and shrill, piercing treble.

Didn't know about this until you linked it. Now I kind of want one just for some fucking around.
This is marginally interesting
Why don't the better operating systems win?
They relatively did in the 80s and early 90s. It's 2016 and they are irrelevant now. Get the fuck over it or go to the same internet ageism circlejerk and waste another few decades.

because your criteria for "better" is autistic.
They did; Windows has over 85% market share.

Is this good /g/?

Yes.
Maybe.
Will the new Ideapad Y900 be worth it?
What are the pros and the cons?
That's a gaming laptop though

What's your point?

I'm indecisive. Tell me what distro to install on my newish T-series chinkpad.
I've dabbled with ubuntu, debian, mint, and suse, but didn't fall in love with any of them.Mint was pretty good for simplicity and usability; suse was decent because it was so usable upon startup.
I've got 12gb of ram and a mid-tier i5 so it need not be super light, but I wouldn't mind better battery life than on windows if possible.
I'm a cs undergrad and about to start some more involved programming, if that means anything. I have no idea if there...

Gentoo is nice. So is Fedora and Lubuntu or Kubuntu
>>54367502
I was tempted by gentoo but wonder if it is worth the hassle of maintaining for a "business/school" laptop.
>>54367477
I'm running Debian on both my Thinkpad and desktop. "Unstable" on the former, "Testing" on the latter. I'm really happy with it, it's a beautiful distro. It's extremely reliable and built on a rock solid base (Stable). You have the option to enable the 'contrib' and 'non-free' sources for more software/driver options, or just leave it as it is for 100% pure free software on the main repositories.
Can I use this in a normal full tower PC?
>Doesn't know what a mini-PCIE to PCIE adaptor is
>>54367430
The adapter you would have to buy would be more expensive than a USB wifi dongle of similar shit quality.
>>54367430
depends, some desktop motherboards have mSATA slots, others have M.2 slots which are compatible with mSATA cards.
or as the other anon said, you can get an adapter.

I'm looking to get my kids a phone, so they won't fall behind technology. Want to teach them the basics of programming using PyGame or whatever people use these days. Any suggestions? No cell-phone plan, strictly Wi-Fi. What should I get?
>>54367290
Get a couple of Raspberry Pis if you're not planning on getting a cellphone plan.
>>54367290
Don't get them a phone. Get them a book. Even a monkey can learn to use a phone, they won't get left behind.
Python and pygame is a good choice. Maybe something simpler to start out with though, like scratch
>teaching your kids python
You're not fit to be a parent; I hope someone takes your kids away.
ITT: memes you've fallen for... and liked it
I'll start:
>I installed Arch Gnu/Linux as an inside joke but then I actually liked it and use it exclusively
>I own a thinkpad t420, it works great. Best laptop ever.
>Chromium, it is better than Firefox(although I missed muh addons at first)
>uBlock Origin, it's much better than ABP

This is only for memes you've fallen for and enjoyed
>>54367327
Should've said that in the subject, but I also should have read.
>>54367353
I put memes in quotation marks and "And you liked" or similar would have been too long in the title
Sup, /g/. I bought a bunch of scrap computers for $100 the other day and with it came a 500gb hard drive - not formatted, windows 8 installed. I hooked it up to my PC and I'm wanting to know how to get all the info off of it I can. I already tried recovering deleted files and there was nothing useful. Any tips?
Give back the laptop tyrone

Actually I'm pretty sure all the shit I bought was stolen, but no fucks given because it was a good deal.
