What fun tech related stuff have you done/acquired this year?
Pic related. Set a makeygo up with a can as a controller and let kids play games as a group on xmas eve. I also let kids use my phone with the lense kit which they were fond of. It all really made me smile to see kids listen for the explanation behind the "toys"

>What fun tech related stuff have you done
I attempted to kill myself by sticking a fork in a power socket. Unfortunately I lived, and was taken to an emergency room and my whole family was so worried, which made me feel like they cared, and now my right arm tingles all the time, but I think the electricity zapped my brain in just the right way to make me feel good and happy most of the time so it's a pretty good trade-off.

Is that really a thing? Holy fuck dude. Well, I guess I'm just glad you're okay now.
I got drunk and drove across the county where some one called the cops on me. They escorted me to a hotel to sleep it off but I drove home when they left.

True in my case, but programming is more fun anyway. So it's a win win in my book.

how to rotate a window as in pic related?
this is in linux (kde specifically) but is there any WM/DE capable of doing this?
I remember seeing a tech demo for one of those tablets and they were rotating windows all over the place, i cant remember what it was, but it was touch based.
why cant X11/Kwin/etc be able to do this? i know wayland's supposed to be getting it, but with opengl backends already available for any compositing manager, why isnt it avaialable now, at least as a window effect?
I've been searching for the last half hour and cant find anything. so i guess i should look into the code itself and find a solution.. any suggestions where to start, like mayb kwin mailing list or something?

Take a screenshot of you desktop with a window you want to rotate, open it in Phtoshop, select your window and rotate it.
>>52076288
yes, that's what i did for the OP
but i'm talking about doing it arbitrarily for any window as you work with it. if windows are drawn objects, with specified x/y coordinates, why would a WM be incable of rotating that? especially in the age of compositing/opengl WMs
So after reading all the b8 and trolls... I decided to try C# for a few days.
And holy fuck is this a fucked up language. Windows API doesn't even work properly compared to C/C++.

That's pretty mediocre. Don't do a Seagate hdd and that ssd looks sketch as fuck. Also do 2x4, not just one 8 stick. And have some dignity by not buying fucking power color.

there's nothing wrong with seagate

hey /g/ i recently bought a gtx 960 didnt have enough for the gtx 970, and currently have a 27" monitor (@ 60hz), I want to buy another monitor to use it as dual (@120hz), will i benefit from the 120hz with my gtx 960 or should i buy another a normal 60hz? I just play LoL and WoW.. Merry Xmas.

Lol and wow should run fine on 960@120

There are three ways to try Linux, you can:
1) Install a Linux OS on a VM (Virtual Machine/VirtualBox) for "safety purposes"
2) Use the Live ISO directly without installing anything, that way, you can get a "full Linux experience".
3) Go balls deep and overwrite everything with Linux (not recommended)
If you are serious about switching to Linux and if you have Windows dual-booted (recommended for pure newbies),
we recommend you use it exclusively for 2 weeks, and...

This is a trolling thread.
OP
>>52065257
I've never actually read what the OP says in those threads.
So the latest round of AMD cards were pretty underwhelming I think everyone can agree.
One thing I don't understand, even if the Fury and 390x were underwhelming, why didn't they at least try to severely undercut Nvidia on a price point range thus at least to try to build a larger marketshare for future products.
AMD's business decisions are quite strange, why would you pick up a Fury over a 980ti in the same price range? You wouldn't.
What is AMD's plan that I am missing?
depending on rabid 'protect the underdog' consumer base
The only thing AMD fucked up was not putting HDMI 2.0 outputs on the cards and not making the top of the line fury X a 6GB card. That alone would have warranted the price.
This whole current generation of GPU's is dog shit.
