Seriously, what the fuck. I had issues with Microsoft before, but this just reached a new fucking level.
Like everyone else, I got forced to install Windows 10. I always deactivated auto-updates for this reason, but no, it updated even if I didn't want to. Woke up in the morning with this crap.
Then, I couldn't find my files, they were in Windows.old. Phew ! Still there ! Woohoo !
No. Everything is deleted now. Since my computer was relatively new, I had no backups.
I am looking on the interwebz and this happened to so many people; Windows...

Even If you do a backup every day, Microsoft would still have deleted some of your files and if you havent done a backup a second before it, you lost some files. I don't understand how you believe this is actually okay
what the fuck do i choose now? 199$ vs 249$ (280 vs 300+ €)

How is Qt these days? Been looking at it to do a semi-native cross-platform desktop project.
>>55453882
>How is Qt these days?
Fine. What about you?
>>55453890
Look at you
>>55453882
GTK+ is dead and their developers are planning on breaking API every 6 months. If you value your sanity there is no other choice but Qt for cross-platform.
Is it safe to update android firmwares using third-party downloads? Specifically, I have an LG P970 optimus black, got bored of Android 4.0.4. and wanted to update to Lollipop or Marshmallow only to find out that those are not provided for this model. I ran into
http://getdll.com/update-lg-p970-optimus-black-to-5-0-lollipop/
And was wondering if it was even possible, let alone safe, to use this kind of guides.
How do you /g/entlemen deal with this kind of problem?

Windows Phone
>>55453864
What are the risks? I mean, could I brick my phone or are we just talking about losing datas?
I thought Windows Phone was just a meme. How is it any good?
Totally not safe, look on cyanogenmod wiki or XDA forums instead.
My Galaxy S4 is running Android 4.3, but to my understanding it's supposed to be able to run newer versions then that.
I go to Settings > More > About Device > Software Update, but it always tells me "The latest updates have already been installed." But right on that same page it says the Android Version is 4.3.
So how can this be? Is there any way I get it to update?
Lmao

This isn't bait, I'm serious.
I need it to go to at least Android 4.4 but it won't go, it just tells me every time that it's up to date.
Rather then sage, how about you actually help me?
Is this guy unironically worshipped as tech Jesus or is he a meme? I just don't get it.

In all honesty, Richard Stallman is the reason why Linux can't win in the desktop world. We know that Linux (kernel) is tried and true, and functions great. When you start piling on all of the GNU shit, you get distributions like Ubuntu that aren't useful in real life work situations.

I have no idea what in hell AMD and Nvidia are thinking, considering that this card can overclock enough to rival a 960, when it's fucking 4 years old. One of the best cards of all time though, hands down.
>>55453513
it's pretty normal for flagship cards to perform on par with mid-range 2 years later.
>>55453745
THEN WHY DO PEOPLE HATE THE 480 FOR BEING ONLY SLIGHTLY BETTER THAN 970?
>>55454601
Nvidia pays shills to spread disinfo because they have to Jew to keep their market share instead of actually making decent hardware
help /g/ how do i unblock 4chan?
>>55453415
>use a different dns server
>run your own instance of bind
>edit your hosts file to skip domain resolution for *.4chan.org and *.4cdn.org
>>55453415
(You) must be 18 or older to use this site.
its probably because someone who had your IP before you landed on it (dynamic IP) probably blocked 4chan using opendns, and since you use opendns, it still thinks your IP is supposed to filter out 4chan.
reboot your router or change DNS servers
Just got this LG 29" ultra wide monitor. $220 out the door.
It's pretty cool. But not as big as I need. I can only start to see pixels when I'm really close to it, so it's kind of a waste. I miss my 50" 1080p but that is just too big for gaming and htpc is only about 30% of its use.
Anyways, I really like how cool it stays. It doesnt make my room a fucking sauna and it seems to turn itself off after I am done watching a movie.
But I don't like how csgo and gtav don't support it natively.
What other monitors/tv's...
