>using android
Why don't you use iOS?
Because it's botnet too
Android is a FOSS operating system, and iOS is a proprietary black box.
Android can be used without any proprietary components, iOS is 100% proprietary components.
Is this even a real question?

So /g/, what torrent do you use?
>>51255446
http://www.binarynotions.com/halite-bittorrent-client/
Small, fairly straight forward though has what options are relevant and most importantly for whatever reason I tend to get MAX SPEED on it when qBittorent crashes my router, Tixati, Deluge are slow, etc etc
Transmission. Lightweight, easy remote access via web interface and you can set your upload speed to 0.
I use torrent.

Easy: Find the pattern
Intermediate: Find an efficient (log time) algorithm.
Hard: Find a closed-form formula.

Any takers?

HI guys, I'm looking for a decent portable drawing medium, particularly a tablet.
I really need to rely on the portability part, so I'm emphasizing on the weight more. Thus the wacom tablet series and anything heavier than surface pro 3/4 are not in my concern.
Currently I'm laying my eyes on ASUS Zen Pad S 8.0, along with a TP 1024 stylus. but also wonder if there's any better alternatives.
Thank you.

Toshiba Encore 2 Write. Wacom Penabled.
Also these Wacom PCs have 256 levels pressure sensitivity interpolated to 1024 levels. Still more than enough for most drawings, and good drawing software have their own infinite level interpolation.
Asus Vivotab note 8.
A shame they discontinued it.
Had FULL windows on it instead of lagdroid AND a wacom digitizer.
the thing was probably too special for normies to appreciate.

So... I have installed the FreeBSD 10.2. Installed the nvidia drivers, xorg, enabled the module in kernel, but the graphic performance is disastrous.
The fonts on Firefox is disgusting. Screenfetch don't work. The htop does not mark the memory consumption properly.
I installed Compton, but I can not make it work.

Planning on buying an R9 390x, but would like to get some recommendations on which brand to go with.
Any suggestions?
Sapphire or MSI

Nvidia
they're all gonna be fine.
build quality for computer parts is a meme. none of the big name brands manufacture their own shit and they all contract with the same salve factories in china to make them.
get the cheapest one with a good warranty in a visual design that you like
Alright /g/, so what's the real lifespan of magnetic tape? Every source I find on the internet seems to bounce anywhere between 10-30 years. However, I've got tapes of all types (VHS, cassettes, 8-tracks) that are far older. Some of the 8-tracks are even upwards of 50 years old and still sound okay if the mechanisms are still working or repaired. Before you bring up climate and storage, many of my tapes were left out in an unprotected garage for ten years and still sound/look great.
So what's up with that?
>>51255099
Magnetic tape 50 years ago wasnt even commercially viable, radio broadcasts were live.
>>51255437
Ford started putting 8-track players in their cars in 1965. What say you to that?
>>51255099
Your garage is probably pretty nice for storage
Also, that figure is for newer tape formulations, the tape formulations of the 60's/70's usually are more durable but had worse properties
There's also other problems related to the base in which the magnetic forumla is impregnated, some defective tape formulations would become dust by themselves, even if stored right

I just came home from Fry's Electronics with an i5 6600k processor. When I checked the box, there was no warranty or instructions, just the CPU. THE CPU itself looks like it might have had thermal paste on it in the past.
Did they give me a used processor? Pic related.
Well better shitpost about it
>>51254955
Anything "open box" from Frys is used.
Yes.
How does wifi such as those from public places, where connecting takes you to a login page, work?I live in a third world where internet is limited in both time access ($2/hr) and location(everyone who needs it goes to a certain park).
Wifi is distributed by coupons, and I just wanna know if I can bypass that system, is it possible?
Try not living in a 3rd world shithole.
