What is /g/'s opinion on ergonomic keyboards?
Thinking of getting one because I spend a lot of time typing (programming and writing). Are they worth it?
I swapped my mechanical 75% keyboard for that exact model, and it was an upgrade. The only thing about it is the f rows are clicky tact switches as opposed to scissor over dome like the rest, which is weird at first. Also the home/end/pgup/pgdown block are laid out the reverse of how I'd like them. However, it's really helped my wrists.
I don't use the Sculpt mouse though; I use a Contour Perfit. It's a little weird too, but has helped as well.

I started getting wrist pain from being at the PC all the time. Switched to the MS 4000 ergo and it went away. So yeah to me totally worth it.
I've got a comfort 3000 instead of the one you have in the pic, as it was cheaper.
The only issue I have is that I sometimes need to 'unpress' the T key, and there is a small number of keys that can register at the same time (forgot how this is called).

>I am a recovered alcoholic and a recovered drug addict
What is the best distro for when you're high? Spatry, a recovered addict, uses Manjaro. Considering a Manjaro is a off-shoot of Arch that attempts to reform it, I think its safe to say Arch is the best distro for junkies.

Is he really an recovering addict? I always thought he looked like one (pic unrelated)
>>53716660
According to that video, yes

> Always find it hilarious how Spatry used dentured
> Always assumed it was a comedic thing considering how cheap and fake they seemed
> Found Spatry reviewing dentures on Amazon giving in-depth details about his teeth
> Assume he lost some teeth in a car accident or something
So he most likely rotted his teeth out due to drugs. How sad is that? :/
/g/ should I wait for Pascal or get a current 900 series? I game at 1080p currently, but Im thinking about upgrading to 1440p if it's cheap enough. Doubt I'd get 4K anytime soon. I planned on building a new rig from the bottom up this summer when classes are over and I can work more, Id base it around a skylake i5 6600k with 16GB ddr4 ram on a GIGABYTE GA-Z170X 6 mobo. Current graphics card considerations would be a GTX 970, an R9 390x, a Pascal card or a GTX 980 if it dropped cheap enough. It depends on the cost really, don't think I'd spend more than $400...

Proprietary software has control over me (help me)
I know how to install Linux with a nice GUI and have played around in Linux. I just cannot get over my desire to use the very useful proprietary software. I'm a web developer and I really like my adobe suite. I really like to use Microsoft Office. I am also a gamer and gaming on a linux machine is borderline impossible unless you get a compatible linux game (limits to an extreme tiny list of games) or force wine, in which case you're spending a lot of extra processing just to load a windows environment versus just...

>i want to have my cake and eat it too
Just keep using adobe and microsoft and gay vidya gaymes. You've stated that you are a giant pussy and a whiny little bitch. If you made the switch to libre software you would just whine and cry all the time. Plus you are a web dev so you have no real skills. If you were a real programmer you could contribute code to fix the problems you have with gimp and libreoffice etc., or even fork those programs. If you had real programming skills...

Jesus Christ dude. I am a web developer who knows PHP and SQL coding man not freaking C++ or let alone having access to open source code of these crazy complicated games designed by hundreds of people at once, and not a single person understanding everything about the product they sell. I would have no concept to being able to re-code these programs to not be a botnet much less run on linux and neither could you.
I mean I'm posing a legitimate question here and is the main reason why I haven't switched...

Cold hearted man
Anyone has made android apps? Any success stories? I have an idea for an app which hasnt been created yet, contemplating on making one.
I made Textra, it's a pretty successful SMS app
>>53716186
>android apps
>success
>>53716186
Well you carry on thinking about that app then instead of making it, OP
I just got a MacBook Pro (late 2014) for £350 in its box, should I sell it and use it to fund a more powerful laptop? Maybe it's only worth 350, thoughts?
absolute garbage

That's the last model you can make meaningful upgrades to. Newer ones have soldered down everything.
If you toss in a SSD and some more RAM, that's a cheap way to turn it into a good daily portable. At the very least, you could flip it as a "customized super fast mac!!" for a small profit.
Dunno where you stand on the whole OS debate, but I enjoy my MBP, it's handy for travel and work stuff when I'm away from my desktop.
Hi guys, I want to propose this thread where we could exchange names for lightweight or better programs or apps that are commonly used.
For example I can suggest for windows user:
- Foobar2000 as a main music player.
pros: light, highly customizable
cons: no cool kids graphics (if you are concerned)
But I would also ask you guys if you have a good window alternative to adobe reader since its big and space taking interface is starting to annoy me
sumatra
WinCDEmu instead of Daemon tools,etc

You don't need either of those on W8 and up.
I mostly lurk, but I need your help /g/.
I'm looking for a desktop that I can drop a GPU into that I got as a gift. The GPU takes three 8-pin power cables, and is double-and-a-half width. It's got it's own radiator, so I'll need a fan bay for that as well.
Purchase and go solutions, e.g. ebay, would work best. I have no case or system that I can put this card in, and I've been told it won't have drivers for another month. I can't really say much more, but if you have any suggestions it would be much appreciated. I can give dimensions...

>3 pins, own radiator
Nice Radeon Pro Duo
you're pretty limited for options unfortunately, you're almost certainly going to have to build your own pc.
>>53715996
Forgot to clarify, the multitool is 10 cm long to give you an idea of size. The radiator is about 8 cm thick, with a a protrusion that brings it to 10 cm. The card itself is 3.5 cm thick.

who the fuck gifts a $1500 card to someone without the means to utilize it?
I won't download it even if they pay me

>Windows 10 is the perfect combination of Windows 7 and 8
jesus that reeks of desperation. All of this does. And as far as I can tell it's just pushing normalfags away from their PCs and onto their phones. Like my mom couldn't understand why everything on her PC was suddenly different so she had me move everything to her tablet.
>>53715990
Why? Did something happen?

I want to get into IT but I also want a job with some semblance of physical activity
What should I do?
>>53715841
get over that latter desire
Work 2 jobs one in it and another in manual labor. Make more money and fulfill your request.
>>53715876
I'd rather not do IT than do it and be chained to a desk
Wot do?

it's a huge one, you might want to sit back and find something to do.
I just finished with mine, it doesn't look any different from what I can tell, but two desktop icons are gone, no idea what they were.
Install a decent operating system.
So, I installed fedora but it has by default font Cantarell (kek!), recommend me some good fonts lads.
Arial
>>53715541
Comic Sans MS
Cantarell is an amazing don't though
