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...

Oh and this is Debian 7 by the way ;_;
Polaris 10 near 980Ti/Fury X performance for $300 and 175W TDP.
The wonders of FinFETs

http://www.game-debate.com/news/?news=20006
Something something on suicide watch, let's all hope GP204/GTX1080 is near that performance as well, we can expect prices to go way down.
Unfortunately no info on diesize, but if Polaris 11 is around 120mm^2, Polaris 10 can't be be larger than 280mm^2 or AMD risks selling expensive dies for cheap.

So their next tech is only capable of competing with the current flagship? To be competitive ATI has to price it aggressively? Stop the presses!
>>54234296
This isn't their flagship, and Nvidia doesn't have a GPU to replace their current flagship until Q1, just like AMD.
Stop being retarded.

Any stores in Japan stock cheap chink tablets like this?
Mini review of a Sakura Binocular from the store Top-Telescope at AliExpress. The binoculars look very sharp and it's fun focusing on things. It does not zoom. It's a fun focusing portable binocular. It's bad for bird watching because I see 3D looking yellow edging on the things you look at and that ruins it. Pictures don't do any justice and it's fun looking at things. It only has a focus wheel and a diopter adjuster on the right eyepiece.
To set it up you'll need to cover the right lens with your palm and only look through the left eyepiece and then focus on one thing in the distance. Next use the center focus wheel to make image focused.
Then next next cover the left lens with your palm and only look through the right eyepiece with your right eye and don't touch the center focus wheel. Only adjust the diopter until you make the whole image look crisp. Then you're ready to use it.
Have fun looking at things and using the focus wheel. It's not like your zoomed into looking at things with your vision. It's more like a 3D glasses movie or a game with stereoscopic 3D. Some things worth mentioning is that you cannot use glasses with these. I wear glasses but had no problem (difficulty reading at a signs at a distance). It is not waterproof or dust proof so I wouldn't use these at a desert or beach if it's windy because dust will clog the inner grease located right at the front of the lens and coating. More pics here https://imgur.com/a/CawgB. And pictures don't do it justice. It looks really good but it's still a toy because these are so small it's better to buy a larger massive binocular IMO.

You're dusting out your grandmothers PC when a genie pops out. It gives you three wishes but since it's a tech genie they have to be tech related wishes.

So what's the current year opinion on Windows 10?
It seems to be in a weird category. It's not being lumped in with Vista and Windows 8 as being complete shit. But it also hasn't reached the praise of 7 (or even 8.1).
Proprietary spyware garbage.

>But it also hasn't reached the praise of 7 (or even 8.1).
It took a while for XP and 7 to become praised. But only time will tell if 10 will be as well. I see no reason to switch for the moment anyway.
