>INB4 SPEAKERS ABOVE HEAD WOT R U DOIN
They're ~50" away from my ears, it makes almost no audible difference to have them at ear level.
haven't posted in a while, sort of redid a lot
>>46611080
I asked you about the speakers before, and you're right. It doesn't make a difference.
Mostly because they're Klispch home theater speakers with bigass wave guides that spread that shitty tweeter sound every which way.

Why don't you use debian /g/?
>just as easy as ubuntu, mint, xubuntu, etc w/o the bloat
>>46615774
Installed Debian a year ago. Wi-Fi card didn't work.
Searched for drivers, couldn't find. Got Mint, it wi-fi worked.
Any other questions ?
use it for work. easy and fast
It's slow, ancient and terrible and Fedora does what Debian does but better.
Last one died.

I have thinkpad X220 with TN screen. Is it worth it to replace it with IPS?

So what games do you play on your smartphone /g/
>Mi3
>tfw have all these games and I still don't play any.
Why do you have them then?

Idek
They are just taking up a lot of my space yet I keep them in fake hope of playing on this lil screen
>>46621968
Only thing i play is Threes, 2048 and MyBoy! (GBA emulator).
Game Dev Story is cool but i played so much of it that i got tired.
as there is no ddr4 thread here:
is it worth waiting for ddr4 to be the standard if i want to build a new pc?
also other new hardware-things that are worth waiting for until 2015/16?
Please tell me what you think RAM does that is worth basing an entire build around. I'm genuinely curious as to why DDR4 would be the lynch pin for you building a system.
ddr is dead hail HDM overlord

HBM isn't going to be used as system memory. AMD's future platforms will use DDR4, HBM will be placed on package and utilized as VRAM and flat address space for HSA compliant things.
What does this picture mean /g/ ?

What is stopping us from building a space elevator now?
There is an incentive for us to go into Spayse right?

the fact that it being so stupidly huge it'd either
A. fall under its own weight
B. literally get blown over by the massive wind gusts at the higher altitudes

weight

That would fall over and squish a lot of people.

Nah, the top laptops from Lenovo and Dell cost the same. Will buy my first macbook this month.
Pretty much anything, considering you're only getting 1.8ghz out of that overheating piece of shit.

I didn't know that terrible furry fanfic tier literal garbage was "fingered" mostly on blackberry. As a blackberry user myself, I wonder if this might help in getting mad pussy as womyn seem to like that formerly fanfic-now novel, and film. apart from that, I don't think this is positive publicity.
and in the article it says the character who should be using a blackberry, is using iPhone. I chuckled a bit.

I have to agree, but many "tech" sites are fanboys of various things anyway.

Doesn't Lenovo build phones now?
Computer programmer vs Network Administrator?
Which job is better?
Both.
>>46626948
neither. sysadmin
Done both. Network admin for me with programming as a hobby. Admin jobs is a lot of down time until you're needed, provided your setup isn't shit in the first place.
With programming, unless you're working by yourself, in which case it likely isn't a large project, you're working under the thumb of someone. Eventually it crushes your spirit and makes you hate it. I quit programming for over 5 years because of it.
Hey /g/,
So I've been using Ubuntu 14.04 as my main OS for a while now considering it simplified my Android (native) development process and I noticed that it increases my production value as well considering I can't distract myself as easy with games as I could on Windows. I still do enjoy the occasional chinese cartoon, but this is less now as well.
So currently, Ubuntu is still installed as my secondary OS, and my SSD is completely overtaken by my Windows partition. I'm seriously considering completely dropping Windows and formatting the SSD,...

>>46624877
even then wine does a good job of photoshop and some games + steam on linux
>>46624877
Never use potatochop so that's ok and I can probably run a lightweight version in a Virtualbox-image.
>gaymes
Nah, not anymore I think. 25 years old now, Embedded Software Engineer/Consultant and there is a shitload of stuff to learn out there. I just want to make more money and buy a house and an Audi A5 right now.
