How much? Cheaper than a ViDock and card? Cheaper than a shitty old case and an adapter?

You only get a couple weeks pay for a kidney. It's not worth the time off work.
Managing two machines isn't that hard.
Why do people insist on using one for everything?

I have a problem with my memory, It says that only 3,9GB RAM is usable although i have 8GB and the computer recognizes it all.
I have tried resetting the maxinum memory from msconfig boot menu but nothing happens and the changes aren't permanent although it says so
Then I tried it from cmd with bcedit command but it doesn't recognize it as a internal or external command

Any suggestions?
>>53548954
Did you install 32 bit or 64 bit Windows
32bit
>>53548970
you need to install 64 bit windows to take advantage of greater than 4gb ram

I want to make software, but I don't want it associated with my main GitHub account. If I push, pull, and clone from my PC using GitHub for Windows, will there be information in the .git file or any other files that reveal my computer is the one being used for the commits?
Is it possible to doxx someone just from git commits?
If GitHub for Windows is more likely to reveal me I could just use it from the command line, but I prefer the GUI.
>>53547638
Obviously I won't be using my main GitHub account for any of this.
The only case of someone getting burned from using git that i can recall was some pedo who put his .dotfiles on github and in his .bash_history were things like cd'ing into and watching cp.
>>53547677
Well there obviously isn't going to be anything illegal in this repo, it's just that I don't want it coming back to me. I checked out the .git folder in another repo, and it has my username in it and a bunch of numbers that I don't know the meaning of.
Help /g/ what did i just rip out of my PC

The botnet is backported. If you disable updates you don't download it.
>not having the latest, fastest OS
How's being 12?
>>53547220
>If you disable updates you don't download it
Why would you download what has already been on your system for ages? Or did you seriously fall for the pretend on and off switches?
Lately i find my eyes tired after long sessions on the computer
are gunnar optics worth it /g/? do they actually reduce eye stress when staring at a screen for 12 hours a day?
Run Flux/Redshift/etc and save yourself looking like an idiot.
>>53544946
Just change the color temperature if you want to make things look more yellow.
>>53544958
will try flux out. not sure making my screen more red at night will help, but thanks for the suggestion anyways
I've been using Linux on and off for years finally started using it more a lot more recently so I've installed 14.04 of Ubuntu. I tried a bunch of different OS's like Slackware, CentOS, Arch, Mint, but I always avoided Ubuntu/Unity because it got torn apart online by people (mostly Arch users). Finally I decided to give it a shot and found that I just liked straight up Ubuntu and Unity. It works really well so it got me wondering why do people hate on it so much? Any Linux users here with an opinion?
Are people just scared of changing from a Windows XP style UI paradigm?
>>53540828
I like Ubuntu. It's not free software by the strictest definition, though, and lots of Linux users get into it at least partially because they want a truly free OS.
>>53540828
not a fan of unity
ubuntu over all is too bloated for me
>>53540828
Arch user here, and I don't mind Ubuntu in and of itself (they're all the same thing anyway.) I just hate unity, and I really only run arch because I needed a minimalistic system for my ancient laptop to do school work.
>Millions of Android devices vulnerable to new Stagefright exploit
http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2016-03/16/stagefright-android-real-world-hack
The exploitation, called Metaphor, is detailed in a research paper (PDF) from NorthBit and also a video showing the exploit being run on a Nexus 5. NorthBit said it had also successfully tested the exploit on a LG G3, HTC One and Samsung Galaxy S5.
https://youtu.be/I507kD0zG6k
>Co-founder Gil Dabah told WIRED the exploit could be altered by those wanting to cause more damage. Approximately 36 percent of the 1.4 billion active Android phones and tablets run Android 5 or 5.1, with Dabah warning that devices lacking the latest updates would be vulnerable.
pretty cool that they beat the ASLR
Custom ROMs or Nexus phones are the only way to go. Having a vendor ROM means being perpetually out of date.
>>53535845
MIUI and CM does not care
