Is there a way to browse things people search for on google?
Can it be sorted by number of searches/popularity?
>>55384094
https://www.google.com/trends/
https://books.google.com/ngrams
>>55384136
These both require I search for something, then see information about those subjects.
I want to view what people are searching for, with preference to sort by number of searches.
Unless I am missing how to do that on these.
>>55384333
I know some folks that can do that, here's their info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Security_Agency
Why is there no universal package manager that works on most "mainstream" Linux distros that acts as a wrapper for the distro's native package manager and automatically searches and installs all the dependencies?
It would even work for Pip and Gem and NPM and all that shit.
Why I ask: I've spent countless hours trying to install all the dependencies for the Python module Dryscrape on CentOS 6 for work, it's fucking misery.
>inb4 stupid low-res frogposter
Zero install?
why not use a configuration management tool like saltstack, chef, or puppet?
>>55384117
Well shit, that's really cool. I don't think that would work for a Python package though
Are external hard drives bad for storing videos and playing them back?
>>55384067
Anything external and not eSATA is going to have a v bad read/write
>>55384067
Sure, why not? What do you think, OP?
>>55384078
Never used one

I don't use Apple products, because I do not wish to give them any of my buckaroos, but Macbooks look pretty neat. I'd rather be a Macbook user, who resembles a homosexual, instead of a ThinkPad NEET, who resembles a homeless person.

If you don't have stickers plastered over it.

Paint it black, and most importantly, don't act like a faggot.
Why did this bomb? Poor marketing?
Last I heard they were doing pretty good. Everybody shit on the Nexus Player and said Shield TV was the best.

It's kinda pointless

Nobody is going to buy something they can't put into a pocket.
Should I give in to this meme /g/?
I'm still running dual gtx 660s, been wanting an upgrade. Is it worth the price?
>>55383929
it's a good card but you're probably going to overpay by $100 because of all of the price scalpers.
but it's also a niche card b/c of it's high power. do you have a 1440p or 144hz monitor? this thing is quite overkill for 1080p 60fps gaming.
>>55383968
I currently only have a 1080p 60fps setup, but I would like to leave the option for upgrade open. The 660s are just really showing their age, need more power. Should I hold off for a price drop?
>>55383929
Buy the GTX 1070 but not the ASUS Strix.
Gainward Phoenix GLH and Palit GameRock Premium Edition are the best choice for this card. Just take the one which is cheaper because they both have no noticeable difference so it's whatever.
I have a choice between a new build based on the FX 8350 or just buying a refurbed Dell 990( i7 2600k). I would put in my Radeon 6850 and 650w power supply and just upgrade the GPU later on the Dell for $400 or go for a fresh build with the FX 8350 and maybe an RX480. Might cost me $700ish though.
If I mainly play Skyrim, TF2 and am looking forward to BF1 will this play them at above 30fps?
Wait for Zen™
2600k
You can get a decent motherboard and 2600k for around 250-300
>>55383934
Thanks for the replay. I can get the I7 with 8 gig ram and everything. I think I'll go that way. But.....
What difference would an I5 2600k make?
What's the best android phone for encryption and security? Could I remove the cameras and internal mics, then flash a custom ROM on the nexus 6P to keep my data secure from googles prying eyes? What's the best way to do that?
you cannot own a smartphone of any kind and expect privacy. if you're looking to keep your ass safe, you need to buy a shitty tracfone from 2004
>>55383900
Also, is there a way to run XMPP, and some sort of VPN or other proxy service with my phone?
>>55383916
Tracphones still coordinate signals. i would like to primarily communicate through PGP and VOIP in order to encrypt my data and hopefully thwart those issues.
Just installed, Gentoo /g/ what's next?
>>55383862
Install a DE, use it as an OS
Install Sweet-OS

Anyone have a guide on making a computer? I just want to make a cheapish computer for around 400-500$
>>55383835
You buy parts and put the together; make sure they can be put together. That's it. You don't need a guide.
depends what the goal is

anyone on /g/ know a good mame or other emulator based front end or linux based OS that's pretty fool proof and supports both mame and console emulation? i've been playing arcade games with my niece on my laptop for the past couple of months when i baby sit her. she's 9 and her parents are computer retarded. they both use their phones and an xbox one neither of them has to my knowledge ever even owned a pc. i've used a few and i put puppy arcade on flash drives all the time for friends after they see mine but i feel like a 9 year old would wind up somewhere...

Explain yourself.
[software of choice] suffers from [petty grievance] and is only used by [major consumer technology manufacturer] shills
[software of choice] is {botnet,meme,placebo}

That [petty grievance] was fixed [Current year - 1]. [software of choice] still remains the industry standard.
KDE is the best DE right now
Prove me wrong
XFCE
>>55383484
KDE devs are absolutely horrible with whitespace distribution. Some parts of the UI are packed more tightly than sardines while other elements are like a golf ball in the middle of a football field.
GTK goes overboard with whitespace generally, but at least they're consistent with its distribution.
>>55383484
That looks fucking Godly

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Tux,
is in fact, GNU/Tux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Tux.
Tux is not a mascot unto itself, but rather another free component
of a fully functioning mascot system made useful by the GNU horns, cape
body and a matching set of clothes comprising a full mascot as defined by /gd/.
Many computer users use a modified version of the GNU mascot every day,
without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU
which is widely used today...

You need to go back.

Or or or you could install alsamixer or qasmixer.
