Why do debit/credit cards have PINs if someone who steals a card can just use it on the Internet without the PIN?
The contatctless payments are more secure, you can usually only use it up to a certain amount of money (~12.50 USD here) three times a day without entering a PIN, so you don't lose that much.
Why isn't the same required for Internet transactions?

Because credit card providers themselves have not seized the actual electronic transaction business.
And nobody else but them and banks usually is trusted with PINs?
They also probably thought it unwise to give home users access to the interface ATM use.

Then why do they even have PINs in the first place if the cards can be used without them?
>>51794914
For store use? See, trust in all these proprietary store payment terminals is better than in home endpoints... even if I have some doubts about it not being a lot of security theater, anyways.

Purged kekbuntu used it for 2 years because it just werked , currently downloading Antergos, how well did i do /g/?
>>51794474
is manjaro a meme distro ? or should i go for antergos?
Antergos is basically a really big installer for different flavors of Arch.
Manjaro uses Arch as it's bane, but it has it's own repositories and certain automations so it's basically hand-holding Arch.

My windows 8 pc is starting to run slow, so I'm thinking about just saying fuck it and going with windows 10. I was told to come here so you could talk me out of it, but is it really THAT horrible? I mean I'm pretty sure my android phone is spying on me all the time anyways.
Also any incompatibility with older games? I've heard conflicting reports.

>from /v/ here
oh boy...
install win7 and be happy. win10 is absolute garbage. it's ugly as fuck, improves nothing, steals all your data, has fucking ads in the fucking start menu, forces you to do updates, deletes programs because they are deemed "incompatible" by microsoft etc.

What should I clean the inside of my PC with?
Compressed air.
Have you stored your computer with a open case near a construction site? Why is there gravel in your computer? You should at least turn it upside down and let gravity get rid of 90% first.

I have the original version of those headphones (they have gold trim instead of silver).
Still good cans? Are there any differences btwn the two versions?
