I'm buying tablet for parents,
After searching in circles for hours I've found beigb the best Samsung Galaxy Tab E9.6 for price of 220€.
Did I choose good, or is there something better? Also I think they wont fully use higher priced tablet so 200€cca is enough, but im willing to pay a bit more if the difference would be noticeable

It looks like samsungs most budget minded tab.
it looks ok though if they'll mostly browse webpages and facebook.
The screen is pretty terrible, if they have poor eyesight it may be a concern.
also found it for 150 here: http://www.pixmania.co.uk/smartphones/samsung-galaxy-tab-e9-6-t561-3g-wifi-8gb-pearl-white/22840520-a.html
I would say go with a 8-10" tablet look for an IPS screen, quad core cpu preferably 2gb ram.
you might be able to even find something much better refurbed or gently used but still in perfect condition with box

How about the kindle fire 10" it probably comes with free trials of its tv services, the screen is ok, and its sells for $170

Is it worthwhile to pick up a Tab 4 over Tab E? Tab 4 series seems to be going pretty low on ebay.
I'm finally clean, /g/. Are you?

Gotta play my lewd games and shumway a shit.

The only thing that was holding me back was VKontakte, for some reason it wasn't working without Flash. Today I uninstalled it and.. well it's working fine without Flash. Surprisingly. I can not explain why it wasn't working like a week ago. It was really the only use I had for Flash, so I'm glad to get rid of it and its updates maintenance (:

Only Microsoft would be able to overlook basic shit like this. What went wrong?

Just get GNOME Ubuntu, install some extensions and you'll have Mint.

Just got a new phone, what's a good file explorer/mover/editor for android? I don't really know where to look for one.

Stock works fine for me

ES file explorer. I used it for network SMB share. it also makes your phone an ftp server so you can connect to it on a network. also with root it will uninstall anything.
Sliding Explorer

I understand the draw of open source and free as in freedom software. But why is he so hostile to the idea of programmers making money off of programming? I've never had an issue with paying developers for software that I enjoy and use frequently.
>>51649917
Who the fuck is hostile?
For example I'm paying part of the salary for the Tarruda guy that works on neovim with my contributions.
It's a good thing if you can make money of off contributing to an open project.
>>51649987
RMS openly hates people who make money off of developing software.

Okay, that's one guy, who else?
I am new to building computers, what motherboard would be compatible with a 970 and intel 3770 ivy bridge?
Intel SE440BX
>>51649914
motherboard, not ram anon
Go to pcpartpicker and put in your build. At the bottom it will tell you if its compatible in the notes. Also, people are gonna bash you for a tech support thread.
Sup /g/ so our college is getting our whole class to get on microsoft's dick with this:
https://www.dreamspark.com/
Is it a trap?
>>51649842
visual studio is the best ide on the planet familia
Literally every college uses this, you dumb teenager
and it's literally just free (gratis) software that your tuition helps pay for
No you faggot it's free software (fuck off Stallman); did you even visit that site? Did you even Google/Bing/DuckDuck the name of that site? How fucking dumb are you? Are you majoring in how to be a fucking drain on society?

It's about fucking time. Now the world will not have to suffer the pain that is adobe flash.
Did you even read the fucking article?
They're cutting off distribution links so you have to download through their shit installer and the shitty adware it entails.
Not that it matters if you have a package manager, anyway.
Why won't Flash die already.
So my EVGA GTX 660 has a single fan and is overheating a bit (80~85) while playing Fallout 4.
Flashed the bios so I could run the fan on 100% (It was locked at 75%), so now it stays at 100% all the time. I have a good PSU and good air flow. Changed thermal paste. Updated drivers.
The only way I've found to stay under 80c was to underclock this bitch, and that's no good; my last guess is that the problem is the cheap e-bay thermal paste I used, but could TIM make such a big difference of 5+ degrees?
Share your experiences and knowledge.
>>51649743
yes it makes a difference because there is no heat spreader
>>51649785
What paste do you reccomend?
Also buy an after market cooler. Reference blowers are shit for cooling.
