What happened to "hacker" culture?

People that used computers began to be respected, since everyone uses computers now.

Its one of the many things that Anonymous and Chanology ruined forever.
I had been using Adblock (the one from getadblock dot com) till recently because it worked for me and I didn't see a reason to switch to ABP. Then, both ABP and regular Adblock joined the Acceptable Ads program. Now I'm on uBlock Origin because I heard it's better than regular uBlock, but I don't know why. I mean, I heard one of the devs moved from the regular uBlock to start Origin, but I don't know if that makes it a better product.
Origin is actively developed
ublock origin exists because the original dev of ublock didn't want the attention so gave it to the first person who asked for it, which proceeded to do nothing with the project while asking for donations so the original dev came back with ublock origin (new name because he gave up the original project) - plain old ublock is now defunct as the guy who took it over clearly wanted nothing more than donations (and/or to sell it)
ublock origin is technically the best blocker we have, even adblock edge (a fork of adblock plus without acceptable ads) even discontinued itself in favour of ublock origin, but whether or not the dev of ublock origin will pull any more stupid stunts remains to be seen

Just use your HOSTS file. Ad-blocking extensions eat up resources, and they're doing the exact same thing that your system is already capable of doing without an extension. Plus blocking ads through your HOSTS file can't be detected.
You can find instructions on setting that up here: http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts2.htm

Not asking for support. I just want to know peoples opinions on these PCs. I have one myself and I love it. I am curious to know what other people think of their PCs.

This is my first time ever to make a thread and to actually post on this board but I was suggested to come here for technical help which is why I'm here.
I have two power surge protectors that I got from a friend that was moving out but the problem is that I don't know which is better to use.
One is a six outlet that is made by RCA and the other is a seven outlet including the reset or off flip and as well a one line modem protection which is made by cyberpower.
I have my xbox 360 slim, flat screen tv from sanyo and a modem from cox which will...

If you had to design the Batcomputer, what keyboard would you use?
>>53505709

An all-metal model M. Metal keycaps, metal body, metal everything.
Default dell one because I probably use up all the funds on computer parts

So back in 1991 when Linux was just the kernel, what did people do with it? Just ping netscape.com?
Or what programs did it include?
What can you do with just a kernel?
You have no idea what any of those terms mean.

What went wrong?
NOT in league with jewish "economy trend setters"
They were a threat to Microsoft incursion in the mobile industry so they sent a undercover CEO to fuck their shit up, force being bought for pennies and completely dismantle and cripple their mobile division while using their name to bruteforce their subpar product into the market. Good old MS' embrace-extend-extinguish but applied in a large scale.
Their strength was rugged indestructible phones for practical people. Even their early smartphones like the N73 were tough as hell. Then they just became yet another boring phone company making fragile bricks.
how far do you think that VR thing will go?
It will get release, a few YouTubers will do some stupid voices whilst playing, kids will want them.
People will realised its overpriced hype and it will die a nasty death.
The companies will realise this, release them at a decent consumer price and a few games will support it.
It will go all the way but it will take a while. This wave might not do it.
VR in some form will follow humanity until extinction, it's too fundamental to ever go away.
Java is only for demented autists!
Tell me one thing where Java is better than C/C++/C#
>inb4: it's easier is not a fucking argument
>protip: guess what? U can't
Pic related it's the jatard desktop setup
But but wut about the complie once run all problem that java solved that your shity c# didnt
Java is just there. It's good for Android dev because of all the support it has.
C# is fucking cancer, what are you on.
C/C++ is great, better than all of the above imo
C# = java and c++ is the dad of these two fucks

Guessing there's some bullshit settings in about:config fucking with page loads, I figure it's some JavaScript garbage, but fuck web tech.

Yeah, it's something up with my FF specifically. Nothing general.
It's on your side only. Everything's pretty fast here.
Mathematica or Matlab?
metleb
>>53504453
Different tools for different jobs.
Mathematica is good when you need to do a lot of symbolic numerical analysis, calculus, what have you.
MATLAB is better for big data number crunching, prototyping, plotting, and numerical approximation.
That being said I'm pretty damn good at MATLAB, but I've only used Mathematica once or twice.
