Does any one else here buy a new computer every year?
No, what a waste of money. if you buy a good computer then it will last.
why do you keep posting this faggot? who is he?
No. I buy computers that are perfectly good for years.
In honor to me buying my first meme hardware (pic related) I want to see yours
I hate this mouse back to trackball I go

what don't you like about it?
I've had mine for almost a year with no complaints.
All Intel and Nvidia hardware, Corsair case and PSU, Full Razer Chroma m+kb, ASUS router, I also have a Thinkpad and Model M in my closet. I fell for the meme hard.
>>51950701
Iive got the g502 as well. I like it. Had it for a month now.
Got the g902 too. I havent got any complaints yet. The keycaps take a bit of getting used to but ive got the hang now. Also all the customisable keycolours. Its memetastic but cool
Is DDR4 a meme? It seems far more efficient to buy a DDR3 1151 Skylake motherboard and reuse the 8Gb of DDR3 RAM you already have.
Am I wrong?
>>51949390
Prices have gone way down. It's an incremental upgrade. It's far faster on a lot less voltage. Not a meme.
In /g/ everything is a meme
>>51949390
it's better but there's little need for it.
As if you were to get a HDMI cable that supports resolutions over 20K yet you only have a full HD tv anyway.
What tech purchase in 2015 did you most regret /g/?

best purchase of 2015 is my nvidia shield tv, plays my hi10p chinese cartoons like a breeze.

What's wrong with it?
Planning on buying one for Plex
Which music streaming service are you subscribed to?
spotify
Spotify. It's missing a ton of stuff but it does the job for the most part.
Spotify. Though it's giving me cancer because I cant download podcasts on Android (I guess its a feature on iOS?)
>CISA PASSED
>NO MOTHERFUCKING THREAD ABOUT IT
WTF REDDIT
>In a nutshell, CISA was meant to allow companies to share information on cyber attacks — including data from private citizens — with other companies and the Department of Homeland Security. Once DHS had all the pertinent details, they could be passed along to the FBI and NSA for further investigation and, potentially, legal action. The thing is, critics saw the bill as way for government agencies to more easily keep...

The United States has been on a downward spiral since 2001. Everyone who gave a damn saw it then. It's over. We lost. Now it's either get out or get fucked - there is no other option.

Can I get in then?

Intended for users of all levels, including absolute beginners.
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...

- I've tried changing the theme
- gtk-update-cache /path/to/theme ; says generated cache was invalid
- Restarting the xfce session

Say goodbye to your internet freedom. It's over.
We're fucked.
I'm saying goodbye to yours. Mine is intact.
This is just putting into law what they were already doing.
It's the hammer to bash the last few remnants of privacy out of court with.

Would you still use Linux if there were subsidies for everyone to be able to afford a Mac?
I run linux on mac.
mediocre
Yep. I'd just use linux on the mac hardware.
do windows and/or linux have something like target disk mode?

What is this, just access the files on another computer?
I just ssh into my linux machine if I need something.

accessing a computer that can't boot in to it's OS. i mostly use it to copy stuff from my laptop to my desktop over firewire.
Has anyone taken the Comptia A+ exams within the last few years? I'm curious what to expect, such as if half the exams are IRQ codes and to do with old IDE and floppy devices and ddr2 as it seems to be from the practice lessons I have done online. Any info appreciated...
>>51958513
I hate you so fucking much
>>51958513
I took it before the recent update, shit was meh.
Apparently it's better, not as much "how many pound sof lead are in the average crt?"
Its been a few months since I've taken the 801 but I passed the 802 yesterday.
Pretty much if you know how to build a PC and you know computer hardware, the 801 is pretty easy. The 802 is a tad bit more difficult just because the questions can be vague and they want questions answered in a specific way which is what trips people up.
What is so great about quantum computers?
What can they do that normal computers cannot?
>>51958269
qubits.
They can hold multiple values at the same time where our traditional "bits" of today can only hold ... well 1-bit of information.
>>51958545
>They can hold multiple values at the same time where our traditional "bits" of today can only hold ... well 1-bit of information.
That isn't how the superposition of qubits works
They are in any state inclusively between 0 and 1 until they are observed in which case they immediately "snap" to a 0 or 1.
Quantum computers will only be useful for certain kinds of algorithms/processing because of the tunneling effect. Our home computers will...

How can other languages even compete?
it's the ramen of languages.
sure it's easy to make and get's the job done.
but at the end of the day, you know it's not real food.
>>51958012
stupid analogy, but I'll keep the "it's easy to make and get's the job done".
period.
>>51957907
There are no other languages available for client side programming, not that it matters really because real calculations are done server side. I had a Lecturer who told me he only browser the web with JS off, kinda nice to listen to him talk but really nerdy.
Should I replace touchwiz for nova launcher on my note 4?
>>51957595
Yes. TouchWiz a shit.
Not to mention it's 3mb, free, and a choice you can easily go back on. Try it ya dummy.
