What music streaming service (if any) do you use?
Do you also subscribe to said service? Why, or why not?

For what?
![Mouse_and_Keyboard_Wide[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/R2B6Tbt.jpg "Mouse_and_Keyboard_Wide[1].jpg")
Please make a compelling argument for me why a mouse and keyboard are not the supreme method of interaction with a computer, and how voice recognition and touch-screens are not merely meme technologies being pushed on consumers as a false evolution in order to sell a "new" product?
voice recognition
>slow
>clumsy
>difficult to navigate menus
>audible and understandable to eavesdroppers and the public
keyboard
>fast, faster than speech
>perfectly accurate
>navigate menus with perfect accuracy and high speed
>fairly quiet, sound is meaningless to others
touch-screen
>slow compared to mouse speed
>inaccurate
>requires moving your hands and fingers around like a fool
mouse
>extremely fast, feels like you're controlling it with your mind
>extremely accurate, down to individual pixels
>very small movements of hand allow huge range of input, scroll wheel and buttons allow even greater flexibility
I just can't see any a favorable argument for the touch screens other than in the scenario of a phone or a tablet for very light tasks. If you're going to be spending any considerable time or doing anything serious with your computer you will be using a mouse+kb.
>>53335604
>keyboard
>>fast, faster than speech
ok this is just incorrect
>>53335604
It's not that voice recognition is bad or useless, but you get tired faster of speaking to a computer than of typing on a keyboard. I could go for hours typing, but not talking.
And a pointing device like a mouse is very acurate and gets the job done fast. If you have a mouse with decent DPI you can be faster on your input than with your hand on a touch device.

yeah, let me see you speak 120 wpm into your phone and see how intelligible the result comes out.
you literally CANNOT name a better phone than the OG galaxy s7 edge. most patrician shit on the market. appleautists on suicide watch

OP we are now bestfriends
Can't wait till mine comes in but it pisses me off that T-Mobile are already getting their preorders.
You have 30 seconds to justify why array indices shouldn't start with 1.
>>53335003
You have 30 seconds to justify why they shouldn't start at -1
It fits better with hardware values starting at 0.
>>53335058
Fortunately, Lua allows both.
Alright /g/ I've got a super shitty inspiron 2650. Dubs decides what I do with it. Don't have a charger

>tfw I still have that cpu and h81m motherboard inside their box unopened when I have a 4790k and z97m now.
That pentium is good but it's my backup I guess.
I mean, there're a lot of pages and groups I joined on FB and I'm thinking of quitting FB.
But how will I keep updated on the activity of the pages I'm following?
Since most of them have a site/blog, I could create organized bookmarks and read them individually, but is there a better solution?
Get real friends.
Turn off your computer, take a walk, reexamine your priorities

Just failed my first MCSA exam, ask me anything.
Why would you do that?
>>53332201
Do what, specifically?
Are you going to try again or are you a failure who is broken now.
Why do you use botnet browsers filled with spyware? Why aren't you using a text browser?
Because I don't have autism.
Your browser isn't compatible with W3C standards

I want to buy a laptop
Bumping for interest. I still do it the old fashioned way by hand, but I don't want to miss out on any more deals.
What's the difference now?
I've watched this video but it seems highly outdated https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzUrIBYWCDA
PDF reader: now Chromium has a in built pdf reader
Codecs: now Chromium supports H.264/MP4, WebM, Ogg/Theora, Opus, MP3, weba, WAV
Beside in built flash player, are there any important differences?
THE FUCKING SOURCE CODE
>>53330301
Not really. Google's botnet features are removed, including sync (optionally) and the auto-updater. It's the same browser otherwise.
the fact that it can update itself is the biggest factor. who the fuck wants to go download an exe every week to update it or compile shit?
Why aren't you using KDE?
cuz kde is dookie
>>53330065
It's shite
If I wanted my computer to slow down to a crawl I'd just install Nepomuk and run it at random.
>>53330065

Mac for graphic design yes or no?
Mac for all imo
>>53329718
