So /g/, what tech related entities are currently on suicide watch and why? Biggest one seems to be NVIDIA and its HBM2less Pascal cards.
Yahoo
ARM cpu architecture

Anyways Twitter is def on suicide watch.
How the fuck do they keep blowing their money ?
Just look at their expenses/revenue over to years, for such a simple ass platform they manage to spend way more money then they bring in.
Not to mention alienating conservative users and other people, and that new trust and safety council too.
Like how the fuck do you mismanage the company so badly ?

Is there no such thing as a good browser anymore?
yandex is cool, shame there's no linux version yet
Are the extensions really limited on Iridium? I thought all Chrome extensions worked.

iridium is just german botnet, instead of google botnet

What does /g/ thinks about this show?

Gay
>>53456028
I like it, I think it's well written, and the cliff hanger at the end was pretty good. I was completely captivated by the show, and I can't wait for season 2. If you haven't seen it, I really recommend watching it. My tech illiterate friends even liked it, so it's enjoyable if you know tech stuff and if you don't. Probably my favorite show on television too.

how about you stop shilling it?

what can a normie with little coding knowledge use a Raspberry Pi for?
>>53455515
Mount a hard drive to it, open some ports on your home router and use it as remote file storage
Like a ghetto own cloud
>>53455515
Use it as a buttplug.

So /g/, I've been thinking of getting a new gaming laptop for college. I have a budget of $1000 and would like some suggestions form you. Why am I coming to you guys instead of /r/ of /wsr/? Because you faggots are the fucking tech board and are are therefore more qualified.

He's an idiot.
I posted this in /flt/, but I got no straight answers due to faggots asking questions about what distro to use, memeposting and edgy archfags arguing over nonsense.
So, I wanted to play some games that require 3d rendering and because I installed Xorg and everything manually, I thought that maybe I had to install OpenGL manually (even on Windows, if I remember correctly, you have to manually install DirectX). So, i tried to check first if i had it and ran$ apropos opengl
and came up with nothing. I also checked the repos and found...

How do Apple get away with charging $600 for an iPhone 6 when you can get an Android phone with the same or better specs for $200-250?
>>53454460
the software and the brand, you fucking moron
Because a person's frustration with a device is determined by its usability (which evidently has only a slightly correlated relationship with specs).
Because it doesn't matter when you're getting an upgrade
Daily reminder that spotify still uses adobe flash. Do they not want me to use their shitty service?
>>53454250
if you're smart enough to know why flash is bad you're smart enough to pirate your music. spend the money on a VPN.
