I just recently switched from Google Chrome to Pale Moon. Its taken a while to adjust, but I think this is a change for the better. Being a n00b to Pale Moon/Firefox/Forks, what plugins do you guys recommend.
>inb4 Ublock Origin, Encrypted Web/HTTPS Everywhere, CipherFox, NoScript.
Kudos to anon who knows of a HTML5 global video forcer, to switch from flash to html5 for playing videos
>>51389260
May I ask why you chose Pale Moon over Firefox?
Regular Firefox has far better support for stuff like HTML5 video on YouTube and such.
It will play them by default without extensions or any fuckery needed. Sounds like it may be a better option for you.
>inb4 muh bloat
Yes, I know Firefox comes with some features that are useless to many, but it's often easier to disable shit in Firefox than it is to add missing stuff into forks. I prefer flipping a toggle in about:config...

Doesn't exist
What about Flash games? Can't convert that to video.
The computer has no idea which Flash app is a game or a video, so it can't convert
>>51389260
You fell for the mene, just use Firefox. Pale Moon is irrelevant at best and a security risk at worst.

The internet is the primary recruitment tool used by ISIS. Shutting then down takes away a major asset.

Why are women in tech such humorless hacks.
Seriously whenever it's a tech event and there are women present you can be assured of 0% bantz
>>51388892
You have to remember Anon that behind every shitty woman in tech there are 500 shitty manlets funding her patreon.
>>51388892
That fat piece of shit always makes me mad.
>>51388964
well duh, because manlets are impure betas who suck up to women to feel like they matter. we could solve this if we gassed everyone below 6"2'.
So, apparently there are a lot of breaking and enterings in my area, time has come for me to boost my security.
What does /g/ use for encryption?
I was considering truecrypt, it seems nice, however, since it is no longer updated, are there any major security issues with it?
Same with backup, are you on dropbox botnet or what do you use?
>>51388788
I use bit locker, (the truecrypt update)
If you go on truecrypt.sourceforge.net, it'll explain all the steps to create a separate partition and then hide it
thieves arent even going to bother trying to break through a windows password. they only care about stealing a device to sell it to someone else who wont even bother trying to crack the windows password
regardless, if you are still paranoid it literally does not matter because of the shit i said above, and no matter what encryption tool you use no one will take the time to decrypt it.
dont like a fucking tool, just use bitlocker or literally anything you fucking fag, because everyone here knows you would give up your password to the police after one night in jail...

Why would the police want nudes of my girlfriend and my logins and shit?
I've had computers stolen before, and then I got my game stolen and pictures of gf full nude etc etc.
How about backups? I don't want to loose my shit again..

Thanks almost quad anon, I thought it looked so scetchy, will read right away!
Building a PC for a friend
What do you think /g/?
>>51388780
Get a 390 instead of a 970
Does your friend really need an optical drive?
>>51388804
always useful and he needs the sd card reader
>>51388780
1. Get 8GB RAM, no need for more.
2. Get an R9 390 instead of the memecard 969.5
3. Get a better CPU cooler with the savings.
4. Get a higher capacity HDD, too.
5. Fuck off with your meme-reader. There's an SD Card reader on the motherboard.
6. That keyboard is a meme. There's no need for a neon-lit fisherprice plastic mess of a keyboard.
7. Do you need the case fans?
8. Get this PSU:

SHITTING
I just want to inform everyone that Microsoft has enabled automatic updates in Windows 7. I explicitly disabled this feature on all of my personal computers after the initial Windows install. But today I noticed that my windows 7 machines were installing updates to windows 7 without my permission. My guess is that one of the updates from last month's windows update "patch Tuesday" release changed this setting for me without my knowledge. I have no idea what was installed and I am making this post to inform others about this issue so that others can prevent this...

Well now I have to manually enable and disable windows update.
This happened to me last night on windows 8.1
ITT: idiots who knew full well all updates after August were botnet and still decided to play with some. Nothing to see here.
How's your collection coming along iKeks? I've got a Hoko Link coming as well, but i'm holding off on more until I make sure apple aren't going to change the connectors every 24 months.
Hmm ok. Lets open this up a bit then. android watch and microsoft watch people may also post their collections
IS this place for geeks or just nerds? How does everyone here not have cool shit like a smartwatch to mess around with?
this is a bait thread op
Give me a reason not to build a cheap PC for my Mom over buying an older used PC.
I was thinking of either building this http://pcpartpicker.com/p/sZ9vrH or buying an old PC.
Are there any benefits of using a newer cheap PC over an older PC that might have been good 7 years ago?
You could get her a cheap ThinkPad for that price.
It is for your mom. That build should be fine but you haven't picked out a cpu. Make sure you don't skimp out on that.

Hahahaha
Two guys who literally wrote the book on Apple's design standards shit all over Apple's latest designs
http://www.fastcodesign.com/3053406/how-apple-is-giving-design-a-bad-name
>Apple is reinforcing the old, discredited idea that the designer’s sole job is to make things beautiful, even at the expense of providing the right functions, aiding understandability, and ensuring ease of use
Are they right?
>Apple is reinforcing the old, discredited idea that the designer’s sole job is to make things beautiful, even at the expense of providing the right functions, aiding understandability, and ensuring ease of use
What did they mean by this?
I study human computer interaction, a field don norman and a small handful of other people basically invented.
in a nutshell, yes. design is supposed to make interaction more efficient, more satisfying, etc... not just "shinier".
People are still pretending that they need more than one port.
What are you waiting for in the post /g/?

$260 MSI 970 meme from Jet. It's been stuck in the same FedEx facility for the past 4 days, so I don't have high hopes.
>>51388090
i also have a choc mini brown.
apart from the terrible outer right edge it is a fantastic keyboard, and I own a $160 poker.
Why the hell do people use KAT instead of TPB when the latter is better in literally every aspect?
Is it because all the TPB domains are banned in their country? Or is it just plain ignorance?

John Oliver was the only sensible choice for The Daily Show host; they just weren't quick enough.
Maybe he'll take it over once what's-his-face has finally crashed & burned.
Vi or Emacs
Hey guys I'm new in the unix world and would like to know whether /g/ uses Vi or Emacs.
Better use vi / vim! It's simpler and you can work more efficiently than with emacs!
>>51387916
I use vim. If you are going to use only one text editor it should be flexible.
Fuck emacs, was forced to use that shit in college.
Yes.
