Im poor so have a month to buy a new PSU..

Your CPU can draw about 80 watts under load, and the GPU will draw about 85 max. You should be fine for a year or two, but that is not a great power supply in general and you will want to consider upgrading in the future.
hey /g/, how do I get as close to xfce without using xfce?
It randomly stops running at login or the plugins keep "leaving" the panel. I just want a simple, single panel with everything on it..
LXDE
Mate
Gnome Classic
Here's my shitty desktop before everything broke
>>51597185
>Mate
Has it matured now and is it customisable like xfce?
>>51597248
Works ok for me, you can choose how sidebars look and where applets and such are located. I use it with Ubuntu, everything justwerks.
Should I upgrade to windows 10?

No. It's the same crap but flat, seriously.

I loved this thing. Despite it being one of the most ill-advised machines Commodore ever made, I learned so much from it.

I grew up playing my older brothers c64, had same tape deck as that but it was beige/cream it was fucking incredible.
>>51596743
Some Performa 63xx/Quadra 605, despite being horribly lobotomized it played reader rabbit which was all I gave a shit about when I was like 1
Then I got a Pentium 90 all to myself a a couple years later, don't even know what I did with it.
>>51596860
I have one of those on a shelf somewhere, the TED chip died in it and I haven't gotten around to replacing it. ;_;

Anyone know of decent tablets in the £100-£200 price range?
>>51596661
The nvudia sheild
>>51596661
There are none. The only good tablets out there are the flagships.
>>51596691
But surely for things like watching videos there isn't a "true" winner?
I'm sorry to ask this on /g/, but does the graphic cards series for nivida actually matter? like
gtx750ti > gtx 680m
they both have the same amount of vram, i just don't understand and please be nice
>>51596531
Not sure if trolling.
Anyhow. First if you're comparing a movile laptop gpu to a dedicated desktop one. Secondly ram doesn't matter when comparing 2 completely different cards. A 3gb gtx 580 gets shit on by a 2gb gtx 960. It is all about the card's architecture.
Is the 750ti better than the 680m? Yes. But we're talking apples and oranges here. Again. Desktop gpu > laptop gpus 90% of the time.
>>51596637
ok well what about like a gtx 970 vs a gtx 750ti then
>>51596667
At least compare in the same range. 750ti is a low end card and the 970 is an upper mid range card.
A more fitting comparison would be like a gtx 660ti and the 960, and the 960 rapes because its newer arch and has better drivers support etc.

It's been 2 years and I'm still in love with this thing. I use it daily
What are your favorite tech purchases /g/?
>>51596487
My t100. Yeah it's a bit under powered but when I actually need a desktop environment it's there. The battery is decent and it works well as a tablet.
I would hope you use it daily, it's your cellphone.
My Logitech Performance MX mouse. I got it in highschool in 2007 and it still works flawlessly today.
Why would anyone want to use linux other than for networking? There is literally no benefit for normies to use it.
>>51596294
>There is literally no benefit for normies to use it
That's why they don't use it.

I recently put together a amd 4x 860k and gtx 950 computer.
Now i play Insurgency and have unstable fps. usually is 60 but often drops to 30 fps. operating system windows 10.
Have tried updating drivers all is fine.
What could be the problem?
excuses for bad english.
>amd + nvidia
>>51596224
What excuses do you have to offer to me, friend?
>>51596379
Intel makes no good CPUs for gaming under the i3.
The Pentium is a meme, it chokes on anything that uses more then 1 core.
The x4 860k is quad core and o/c'able. To o/c the pentium you need a fairly expensive momboard.
Is the "free" Windows 10 upgrade worth it?
It kinda makes me feel like the "bio-chip upgrade" choice in Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

Well you haven't listened to us about alternatives, and how bad Windows fucks over its users, so you may as well just delete this thread and suck on Bill's cock for another 5 years.
>>51596216
Those old logos make me feel nostalgic
When will facebook die? I mean, myspace, orkut and all the other had their time.
When will facebook come to an end?
Idk. 7 years.
>>51596091
maybe when you stop shilling it.
Facebook is ubiquitous, like Apple or HIV.
Just a reminder that if you shoot vertical video on your phone, you are an idiot.
...and statistically likely an iPhone user and born in the 1990's
Please defend your decision to take vertical video on your phone. Don't use the argument "because I want to play all the video back on the phone exclusively!" because that is bullshit; the video ends up on TV and they have to letterbox it.
The only time this is acceptable is for "tall video" shots such as fireworks and other things that would be uncapturable horizontally.

>>51595936
Because "vertical video" looks fine when watching it on a phone, like most people do.
reminder that if you hold up a phone in a mosh pit you are a fucking degenerae sperg for a 3-view youtube video
Because I don't upload my personal videos to YouTube. I show them off on my phone or tablet in person.
