Why is KDE so ugly, slow, and shitty?
I've tried to give it a chance so many times. With the advent of Plasma, which actually looks somewhat okay, I gave it another chance, and it was so fucking painfully slow.
I mean I know at this point with GNOME 3's retardation it isn't much better but seriously, what gives?
>>55438394
You probably used a server OS like debian or any other one based on it. KDE is shit with non recent QT versions, and with recent i mean at least Qt5.6. The only other difference can be propetary graphic drivers, since they tend to fuck shit up beyond measure everytime the plumbing is changing.
Seriously, get free as in freedom gpu drivers and most "slow" woes will vanish since they are actually integrated into the ecosystem and make use of kernel features and i'm not talking about intel here because...

Not running a poorfag hardware oils a good solution. KDE isn't for poor plebs
Stuck in a pickle with my PC build. Being Australian, GPUs aren't coming cheap. I'm torn between one of the new 480s or forking out cash for a 980.
Are the new 480s good? That whole power issue was just a random coincidence, yeah?
non ref 480
>>55438287
I'm not the smartest with this kind of side with parts. I know reference cards are the launch cards.
But usually how long is it until non-ref/aftermarkets come?
>>55438277
Your using mobos that overclock? Then its a non issue even if the power exceed and generate more heat.
The one that burned his mobo was using some cheapass ASRock.
Get the 480
Hey Guys
I just want to ask if a jump to Linux from Win 10 would be viable option for me. I mainly game, browse here and watch Youtube.
>>55438188
browsing will work
gaming depends on the kind of games you like. look up WINE and steam games for linux.
youtube will work mostly. it has serious issues in firefox on ubuntu for me, but works fine in chromium.
of course, just start with a dual boot, so you can revert to windows. if you find yourself switching back more than twice a week, linux is not for you. because at some point you'll want to be productive or do something useful, and it will suck.
Linux gaming is a meme and will always be unless they fix mouse sensitivity for starters.

Wine is a meme. AMD cards will give you slideshow experience.
Desperately need a new 8" tablet for work.

okay let your company buy it

sounds more like you have a desperate impulse to buy a new toy under the pretext of work.
Can we talk about fraud emails, specifically those of the classical Nigerien Prince sort of style or it's derivatives? I just got my first letter going over this and I've been looking into it and the whole phenomenon is really interesting. If you want to look into it you can start with the keywords in the subject line, it's a pretty well documented thing that's more complex than you might think it is.
Have you ever received any before? What did it say? What did you say? How did they respond? Any of you try reporting them to the proper authorities?

Had an office job once doing damage investigation. Talked with the IT guy and he explained the email filtering a bit. Every now and then I would get an email from someone whom I had been emailing written in the same style but asking for information that was private.
I would let the IT guy know and it was usually poor security on the other paties part. We even cut an insurance client because we lost close to 200,000USD after years of their servers being hijacked.
If it is automated prince of x shit it is caught in the filter. Else if it is a more coordinated and...

What did the more coordinated stuff look like? Did they just try really hard to make it seem like generic emails between different parts of the business asking for information, or what? Did they go after specific targets that seemed more vulnerable, or what?

Where can I learn more about darknet, what is there, and how to get there?
If you don't want drugs , nothing interesting
You have to split open your router, extract the ICB and use it to sacrifice a lamb over a pentagram representing your home network while you chant the Dark Net prayer.

Hey guys, i can't browse 4chan on my computer and i don't know why, i used to browse normally until 4chan started to load like this
Anyone know what could possibly be wrong?
I'm running XP and the computer is quite old, i also use Adblock and PrivacyBadger. I already tried deactivating them and nothing has changed.

Have you tried a different browser?
This is really weird
>>55437995
Yes, still didn't work.

How useful are user ratings though? Some people just give 5 stars as long as facebook works.
>>55437942
Dont use the ratings, just limit the price, add some specs if you want and buy the laptop with best processor for that price

Mega doesn't work on mobile.
What happened to Mega? Didn't Old Kimmy get bankrupt because of his lawsuit case?
So, will you donate your organs using your iPhone?
http://www.apple.com/newsroom/2016/07/apple-and-donate-life-america-bring-organ-donation-to-iphone.html
NEVER!
>>55437788
You're a selfish prick if you don't sign up for organ donation. What are you gonna do with em when you're dead? Use them?
Give people some kinda benefit (a % off app/music purchases?), and watch people hop on that shit.

/g/ is pretty much just tribal warfare right now. It'll settle down, but, the /pol/tards won't be leaving any time soon. People think they're so clever when they use a vaguely Indian sounding name to 'insult' someone, and that's the pinnacle of discourse on /g/.

"""redpill""" me on hardware SSD encryption
is this any good?
can it be trusted?
we all know that software encryption doesn't really work on SSD and you can still get your data compromised due to wear leveling, so I'm thinking of getting a hw-encrypted SSD for my T420
