It's as easy as riding a bike after you get over your nerves from the first time.
They aren't, unless you're clinically retarded or are a female
For a technology board you really don't talk about tv's very often.
Let's talk about home theaters. Post set ups if you have them, talk about favorite TV's, best speaker brands, your media centers, etc.
I'll start. Here's the tv I'm looking to start my setup with right now. Vizio P65-C1. Anyone have experience with vizio tvs? I know its more of an off brand but I've heard good things about the P- series. Sadly they're not being offered in Canada right now...
I have a 48" LED Bravia
5.1 Pioneer AV reciever
and an HTPC/gaming system that runs it all.

There's only so many times you can mourn the passing of Plasma and lament the abortion of SED/FED
Are tablets a meme?
What's the cheapest and best tablry for reading manga and watching anime?
Is 4:3 bad for watching 16:9 anime?
Is 10" too big?
Just buy a nexus tablet and be done with it.
They're fantastic for consuming media in general. iPads are slick and nice but they lack the freedom to load content at a whim.
>media consumption devices
>not 16:9
JUST
>10"
Might as well get a laptop

What's /g/ opinion on MEGA.NZ?
10/10
>>54269237
Excellent if you use it right.
>>54269237
I like it. I basically just use it as a Dropbox replacement.
Is SSD still considered a meme or is it a viable option?
Also is there a /g/ wiki type primer on all these SSD lingos (like different underlying technologies for the cells) that I can read? My knowledge of harddrives stop at HDD and I want to know more.
>>54268940
only idiots think SSDs are meme
>>54268985
it's like benchmarks don't exist and 7200rpm is the pinnacle of tech
>>54268940
Just get the Evo you posted, its bang for buck for reliability and speed.
ITT: Uncomfortable truths most of /g/ doesn't want to admit.
>using a particular OS doesn't indicate autism, getting mad at someone for using it does
>brand loyalty is a sign of immaturity, as is buying a piece of tech to use as a status symbol
>in a society of easy credit and low interest rates, owning an expensive computer or phone doesn't mean anything

The Singularity will happen after you die.
Robot waifus will happen after you die.
Proprietary software will always be popular.
Anime is for Japanese children.

>>in a society of easy credit and low interest rates, owning an expensive computer or phone doesn't mean anything
ok freetard
I guess owing an expensive home, car, bimbo with with big plastic tits, rolex, yacht & vacation home also don't mean anything
get the fuck outta here

How do you keep your hard drives cool /g/?
I blow really hard.
>>54268483
I don't. They're cool all the time.
>not using the most reliable 5400RPM drives for general storage
>not using SSDs for everything else
It's like you want to be cucked

Who GNU/Linux on Macbook here?
Nope, because I don't own a Macbook.
If I did, probably.

I mean does Linux even 4 finger gestures
What are some good image viewers that arn't shit?
eyes
screens
irfanview if you're using windows
i just use whatever came with the ubuntus. i read my manga just fine thank you very much.
OK /g/, why not.
>>54266973
Don't forget to pay the 'developer' for it. I mean, he is kind of right that real FOSS doesn't allow people to earn a living wage.
>>54266985
You can just put in $0 to download it.
>>54266973
It's based on Ubunu. But it's not that bad.
>What? No Netflix documentary? He created the most popular OS and programming language of all times.
>>54266884
Quit your bitching. That was 5 years ago, and no one but /g/ents cared about him. Sure, he played a pivotal part in building the modern tech world, but mainstream doesn't care. Why would they?
>>54266884
Eh, at least as time goes on more and more people realize what a piece of shit Steve Jobs was
>>54266884
Well, those who cared knew about it.
And, he died of old age, while jobs died of a sudden cancer in his 50's, which stunned people .
/g/ im looking into switching career paths from warehouse to IT. The problem i have is literally every job app requires min 1-2yrs experience within level 1 and/or 2 support, my question is has anyone experienced something similar and how did you deal? help greatly appreciated.
>>54266761
Apply yourself
3 PhD certificates isn't enough anymore. Sorry OP.
>>54266761
TL;DR i have no IT experience in past but have cert 4 in IT how do i get a job that's entry level IT when it requires fucking experience ??
