What information is it sending?? Just informing micrimosoft of the fact that you opened an image for statistical analysis?
Proof?

Just monitor the internet usage. You will see a few bytes being send/recieved every time you open an image.

Oh no.

Is there a "thinkpad of e-readers" out there? Meaning a cheap but high quality solution for a very nice e-reader?
I'm shopping for one for reading textbooks and manga on, but there are so many models that I don't know which to choose from. All I know is I want to be able to use SD storage in addition to no DRM and good battery life... What models should I choose between?
>>52539288
Second-hand Kindle DX is a good budget option, though no backlight is pretty annoying
>>52539418
Kindles typically don't have any external storage options though, do they?
I guess if it has enough storage on it it doesn't matter as long as your computer is nearby, but even so manga can get pretty big, right?
Lighting would be a good feature too...
>>52539288
Probably the Kobo Aura HD or H2O, unless there's something affordable over 7" that I don't know about. Supports cbr/cbz, so you can just rename a manga's zip/rar file extension and it'll open.
<-- Size comparison of 6", 7", and a manga volume.

What the fuck is wrong with you?
How does /g/ name their system?
Do you named after your waifu or something sample?
For example: 'First or Lastname@localhost', 'waifuFirstname@ shows group name or device(machine) name'
Also when you type in your password(root passwd including) do you use your traditional one or be creative with it?
My example: root & user password: waifuLastname

No, I'm just curious NEET in need for brainstorming names and passwords for my gentoo top.

Is there such a thing as an out of the box "it just weeks" window manager? I am running openbox currently and I like it a lot but I feel as if it takes way too long to set up and configure, a stock openbox installation literally has nothing. I believe WMs are better than DEs most of the time but they take so fucking long to setup and so much skill to configure properly. There are so many features that just are not there right off the bat that should be like battery/power management tools, sound/audio tools, etc. I haven't used something like i3 or bspwm but those...

You say
>I believe WMs are better than DEs most of the time
but then go on to describe a DE and the reason they exist. KDE is very good. Install it and stop worrying about what /g/ tells you to do.
>>52538755
>battery/power management tools, sound/audio tools, etc.
Just install you're favorite of each of these and use them with you're shitty WM.
>>52538796
There's hardly any basic skeleton or structure though to a finished environment in something like openbox, sure you should be able to change the skeleton as you please but there should be something there in the first place don't you think?

tmux vs. GNU Screen
What do you use and why?
>>52538483
Screen. tmux's keybinds conflicted with something else and I couldn't be arsed to go through its arcane tomes to figure out how to fix it.
>>52538483
tmux
it's pretty much a superset of screen; as far as i know there are no good reasons to use screen aside from familiarity, and even then you can bind ctrl-a as your prefix and use it as you would screen for most things
>>52539126
>ctrl-a
How do you move to the beginning of the line with screen?
What technologies does humanity need to create before we can start building permanently-spaceborne vessels that aren't just dumb orbiters and can host human crews?
I'm sure my layman viewpoint is painfully oversimplified, but I don't see any major impediments to doing such a thing today. If anything, it should be *simpler* since we don't have to worry about getting the thing off the ground or making it aerodynamic for landing on a planet's surface.
The bigger problem now I think is the infrastructure for building ships in orbit, but that's hardly insurmountable, now more than ever since we finally have commercial competition finding new ways to dramatically cut the cost of spaceflight in a frenzied race to the bottom. For a while we'll need to make trips back and forth with raw materials, but once we have rudimentary manufacturing capabilities beyond earth's atmosphere things can really begin to accelerate.
There are three issues that make your idea not feasible.
>whatever we send up only lasts so long (not 5yrs like star fleet)
>we can assemble in orbit like the spacestation and we can even automate this, but that is a lot of money and a lot of rockets
>a mars mission has been proposed with assembly in orbit with a possible mission cost closing in on a trillion dollars
>>52538283
Uhmm... I think there are bigger problems here on Earth.
>>52538461
>whatever we send up only lasts so long (not 5yrs like star fleet)
Sure, but that's because nothing we send up is self-sustaining because not even the ISS has enough space to do something like that.
And I bet that trillion figure can be cut in half if not more if we can make reusing rockets as routine and durable as reusing airplanes today. It could also be cut down further if we elect to instead start off with a moon base, sending up minimalist mining infrastructure and...
