Do you guys use a password manager? Which one?
I use KeePassX.

It's pretty reliable if you keep it safe from physical damage
>>52231103
Master password basically your passphrase is a salt convinced with whatever app or website name

Preorders for the Rift go live at 8 AM on January 6th. With still no price announcement, and an inevitable inability of the website to facilitate the traffic. Are you going to preorder with the option to cancel? Waiting for more info? Fuck the VR memes?
>>52230935
VR is dead. Facebook buying the oculus rift just killed all the hype
No, I hate VR. My uncle is really into it and has devkits and gear vr and made my whole family try them this holiday but it was nauseauting and dissapointing and also pointless and uncomfortable. I also had to keep turning around 180 degrees which is aggravating after a long day when i just want to look forward. Cant wait until this meme dissapears desu
Are they going to announce price when they make it available for preorder?
I've got a desk top pc which I use for everything major, but recently I've been thinking of getting a cheap laptop. Just something to do word processing, search the internet, watch videos and simple shit like that while I'm out and around or when I want to sit somewhere other than in my little desktop corner.
However, I have VERY limited knowledge of mobile electronics these days so I'm not sure what kind of stuff I should look for. I want it to be able to play video at high definitions and search the internet without lagging the fuck out, but I don't need or want to be able to play games on it or anything. One of those dis-connectable or rotatable tablet things seem neat, but I don't want to end up paying out the ass for that feature. I'd prefer to avoid windows 10 and it's orwellian monitoring of my every move, but I'm not sure I can do that without pirating an older version of windows and uninstalling the current one, since everything is running 10 these days.
I'm not gonna ask you to go do the searching for me, but I was hoping you could give me some tips as to what I should look out for? I built a Desktop via /g/ and the help of some specific sites tailored to the subject, but I can't find any similar help for this. Info seems scarce and badly tainted in many cases.
Order a ThinkPad directly from Lenovo. This way, you can select a downgrade license to Windows 7 when customizing your device. This should be available for most models, and pretty much all business laptops.
In the future, consider posting simple questions in threads like this: >>52230028

>ThinkPad
Heh, I actually ended up getting the Lenovo - IdeaPad 100s. I guess I wasn't too far off.
>>52232787
Do not get a an idea pad. Get a business model. X220 and T420 are the staples. Idea pads have terrible build quality
How do we help Gabe get his shit together and make Linux / SteamOS good gaming platform?
In future, when mobile pushes desktop to the edge of relevance, living room will be important foothold.
>>52230862
I still don't understand the purpose of steamOS
Windows has and probably always will work better for video games
The controller's actually pretty neat though, so they should have just stuck to that and the VR stuff
>>52230887
>I still don't understand the purpose of steamOS
Free OS that isn't subject to Microsoft bullshit. Same reason Sony uses BSD for their PS4.
>>52230887
It's to "living room computers" (read: manufactured or DIY consoles) what Android is to mobile phones.
OEM doesn't have to put it's own OS together because it's freely available and Valve gets revenue from integrated store.
Is Linux the fastest operating system?
>>52230739
In what terms? How fast or slow the operating system runs is mostly dependent on hardware.
if linux is so fast why can't it play battlefield 4
>>52230739
Windows beats it in AES Nice Speed though. More proof that Linux users are cunts.

Why...
Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
It's even better for video than mxplayer.
Also, what's wrong with the desktop version?
Works ok but has way too many nonessential features.
I'll stick with mpv
>>52230906
There's no mpv on Android.
What's /g/'s consensus on old 3.5" hard drives? Mine still work great but they're just not worth plugging in as an external for just 80 GB of storage when I have a 1-4 TB 2.5" externals now. Should I just throw them in the trash?
You could JBOD them?
>>52230720
Hdds are fun. Take them apart and play with the magnets and disks after you've transferred the data to a bigger place.
>>52230720
Buy a docking station and use them for extra cold storage backup, make a few copies on different drives and you are good to go.
Feels good to be a faggot

Get used to that low battery indicator
Hey /g/ what are your tips for living in a botnet free life? What are the programs you use and everything ?
I opened up /g/ to make a thread similar to this but with pic related. What algorithm's do 4chan use to decide what threads you see?

>tfw last 3 years of work on refining encryption for 4k content down the drain because of required government backdoors

>>52230313
Whats the device supposed to do anyway?
>>52230410
You can plug an encrypted 4k signal into the device, then connect the device to a capture card and record the decrypted signal.

So it was made for pirates? Nobody has any use for that except pirates.

Is your cock ready for Wayland / Mir?
Fuckin plebians.
You seem to be confused, university is out for winter break, /g/ is currently /v/2. Come back in a few weeks if you want to talk about something other than video games or Windows 10.
>>52230229
Fuck you joking right?
>less commits means the program is dying
Or maybe, it just doesn't need any new improvements?
>taking mir seriously
Also, wayland still needs work. And Xorg just werks.
