What is your method of making Windows 7 fonts look nicer?
I have installed gdipp and it looks pretty okay, better than the default fonts.

>shitposting on your /g blog
just another day in the life of the worlds biggest faggot, OP.
saged
Install Windows 10.
gdipp only works on some Windows programs, it doesn't work on Word or Ms Office suite for example.
>>51584031
The i's would sometimes just stop showing for me with gdipp installed.

Hello I'm visiting from /b/
I need some help. I have 2 laptops both broken, one just loads up like the picture posted. The second won't even turn on but I don't expect much help with that because it could be anything. Please explain to me what the fuck this means? Whenever I press a key it just comes up again. Thank you
>>51583446
Your computer is trying to boot from the network rather than from it's hard drive.
Most likely the hard drive died so it's skipping that and choosing the 2nd boot device which, in your case, was confgured to be a PXE boot.
Reboot the laptop, press delete / f2 / f11 or whichever key it tells you to press to enter BIOS.
Find the list of boot devices and take a picture of that, then post it here.
>>51583539
Before you do that, reply that you understand so that I don't waste 5 minutes waiting for some underage /b/tard.
>>51583446
looks like it's working fine to me
see if it boots off of a flash drive

I know nothing about audio. Which headphones would be better for gaming?
Sennheiser 598s or Astro A50s
I know the A50s are 7.1, are the 598s? Does that even matter?
>>51583442

As I said..

How about being helpful, then maybe one day I can be a douchebag to someone looking for advice.

New to 4chan, huh? You would be better served to exercise your google fu.
I need to connect old laptop to a router (to get normal internet connection). It has no RJ45, but I found something like that(photo). Would it work, and why not? I couldn't find any info on such connection.
>>51583160
If you believe that something like this would work you shouldn't be here

That's a fucking serial cable, you dumbass. Not a network cable. I mean, SLIP does exist, but you're not getting internet over that cable. (I don't understand a thing about SLIP though.)
Who /wallmountedPC/ here?
>>51583127
no. that's dumb.
Too poor to afford a PC case?
Cases exist for a reason, namely, dust.
>>51583127
I think it's cool. Gimmicky for sure, but I can dig it
So, now that the dust has settled.
What's your honest opinion about Microsofts new browser?

Do what the rest of us do. Pretend cli is better.
>>51582998
At least your computer didn't hard lock in the middle of installing those drivers and brake x when you logged back in. This is why I don't use Arch anymore. It's a little too bleeding edge for me. Thanks for beta testing this stuff for me though.
>>51582998

I found your problem.

How do people mess up website security? Just finished my new site and it is like you would have to fuck up on purpose for it to be insecure at all.
Explain how people fuck this up?

What are some good resources for helping me decide on a laptop to buy?
If someone on here feels up to recommending one to me I'd be happy to post details about what I'm looking for.
/g/ isn't very good. You'll end up buying a used thinkpad or a rMBP if you listen here.
>>51582589
If not /g/, where?
Just now discovered that Logical Increments has a new section about Laptops.
Been pretty happy with Logical Increments's recommendations in the past, so that's awesome.
>>51582589
Used ThinkPads are great on a budget, and rMBP is great without much of a budget. They certainly aren't the only options, but stop pretending that it's just a meme. They are recommended for valid reasons.

No mention of CHiP? Is it not considered a single board computer?

There needs to be a thread about this.
There have already been 10 two days ago slug
not much popularity until masses can play LoL and post on 4chan from it
/sbg/ already died. We talked a lot about how the PC costs 5 dollars and how crap its ports are, to the point it costs almost the same price of a model b just to connect the shit on the internet using a keyboard.
looking to jump over Linux and have a few questions
why not Ubuntu
best distros/DEs and why?
Antergos w/ cinnamon... Cuz its arch and The DE is pretty much The best
Debian (because it's the only distro where maintainers seems to know what they are doing)
DE: no DE, just DWM
(tilling ftw)
ubuntu is fjust ine as a first linux
What Linux distro will ever be able to compete with Windows and OS X?
I'm not talking about your autistic little custom Arch Linux setup with i3, I'm talking about an out-of-the-box distro with no botnet that just werks. That has lots of multimedia support and cutting-edge software
Ubuntu
>>51582310
>No botnet
W r o n g
>with no botnet
>lots of multimedia support
You won't get a botnet-free distro that plays mp3's. It's a proprietary format.
Anyhow, the distro that'll compete with Windows and OSX is the one that a manufacturer will start selling at a cheap. Kinda like back in 2010 with the Ubuntu netbooks.
That is the only way. Noone should be expected to install their own OS.
