What's a good vpn? I only used PIA but that was only for one month.
I can get a year of PIA for about $30 right now. Is it really that bad? Any other suggestions for VPNs?
I went to the sticky but there wasn't any suggested vpns

>using a vpn based in the US
>not expecting hoards of nigger dicks to ravage your anus when you get busted doing whatever you do
Get a vpn based in a country with relaxed internet laws. NordVPN is good, same with mullvad (ive heard) and anonine
>>52068837
op i'm in the same boat. every month i had pia i just told myself "oh i'll cancel next month"
i use vpns too much to not buy a yearly subscription. i am probably ditching pia and getting mullvad. based in europe, good security and privacy. desktop/mobile clients. i think it's what i'm going to use.

I'm using Cactus because they were the cheapest month-to-month option that still looked decent. You have to choose a package when you sign up; I went for Liberty which is in NL and is the only one that allows torrents.
I must stress that mine is a low-security use case. I'm only using it to make sure I'm not low-hanging fruit for the copyright trolls.
Best way to kill myself with a computer?

any retail chains i can get led strips that run off a central component that'll allow me to customize the colors with? looking to line my desk and bed preferrably off one component
>>52068540
you're going overboard. don't run a good idea into the ground.
as for OP, you should be able to get them from amazon, but a quick google for "programmable LED strip" yields a handful of results.
If I were you, I'd probably get LED strips and a micro computer device to act as a controller (maybe Raspberry Pi? idk). use that to do more complex controller stuff.

Pic related,
It's an Civil engineering structural design program called PANOPLIA that is quite good compared to available offerings, the thing is 8500 fucking Euros ..!!
From a Greek company called Pi-systems International.
So I'm a civil Engineering student and naturally sought after the best possible program for my uses..!
The reason I'm posting in /g/ is that this particular software was an open source application developed by a group of German students, then bought by the Greek company,

Im mechanical engineering student and it takes a while to think of a commercial software that doesnt offer free student licence. Hard to believe it's much different with civ engineering software.
OP here, It really is a great deal to find the source for this application as it's a rare thing in our field (open source production grade software)..
so for the good of the field the source is important, but for my own purposes I'd be satisfied with a crack !!

The Educational Version is extremely limited compared to the paid software, and to what is offered by other software companies..!

You know OP, why would you need people to spoon feed you info about what to spend your money on? Honestly jut lurk more.
My personal opinion would be; depending on your PSU you could easily deduce weither or not to do a whole CPU/mobo/GPU/ram/cooling/SSD/1440p monitor or Ultra wide(2560×1080)
So, this just happened to me recently:
My Samsung Galaxy S3 used to take fine picture, but now the image quality of the photos is just awful.
The issue seems to be fairly common, but there doesn't seem to be a proper reason or fix for it. I've tried the most common recommendations: manual ISO, anti-shake off/on, cleansed the lens, installed alternative camera apps, etc.
Pic very related; two shots taken at the same range, same settings, same distance, roughly same light conditions, less than a week apart, outdoors. Now even daylight photos are filled...

SCREENSHOT
So I just got an msi gtx 980, 600w power supply, and 8gb of ram installed on my pc. The problem is, my pc will just spontaneously crash/reboot after about 20 minutes of playing any game. I have been googling and I have a feeling it's a temperature issue but I don't know enough troubleshooting stuff to fix it. Do any of you guys have any tips?
Please someone take time to help, thanks
Dowload msi afterburner or asus gpu tweak to monitor temps of the gpu while you play a game, also make sure the quality of the psu is up to spec (what brand is it?)

I bought it at best buy, its a evea one that was 40 bucks
I'm moving to a new apartment, and in my new building, each apartment has its own corresponding "basement" which is basically a single room secured a solid door and a padlock found in the underground hallway, accessible by the stairwell. Most people use these for storage but I've noticed mine is fully equipped with electrical outlets and heaters. It's big enough to set up some sort of office or vidya center (inb4 cuckshed) but I'm not sure how I'll get my wifi down there.
I've seen these wifi repeaters but they seem to be designed...

what is the fucking point
>>52067214
you still don't have to rewrite everything for every program you make
why does /g/ takes cross-platform as something very important where you will be using one system for most case and even with dual booting having the same program on both systems is retarded?

whats with the keyboard?

Only problem is that the inspirons are built poorly. You're kinda rolling the dice on whether or not it's going to have physical problems in like a year or two.
Specs-wise though, looks great. I'd replace the storage with an SSD though. I've found those hybrid drives to fail very often.

Up until now the banter against Indians has been along the lines of "they turk our jerbs" without much detail on how. Many indians are unironically happy about this, and for some reason some even believe that they take jobs because they are better than western engineers.
We need to find out why it is that they are so oblivious since one of the key aspects of war is to know your enemy. I have a theory: Their """"consultancy...

How about actually learning useful things so you aren't a replaceable code monkey? I doubt they teach cutting edge machine learning or databases at the University of Poo in the Loo.

Bullshit. People are taking jobs that they can take. Are you really going to blame people for applying and accepting a job offer? The reason why they select it because the pay is higher than in other places, and because it's something they think they can do.

They usually sell for 100-200 which is still overpriced desu. 400 must be a christmas meme from the retards on ebay.
