Is the rest of the world even trying?
French plugs ftw
American plugs are pure shit
If you twist them even a little, this shit bends
Too wasteful, both in terms of resources and space.
Plus, half a lethal current is more than likely still fuckin' lethal.

>twist
why? also how have I never managed to fuck up a plug? If you're actually manage to fuck up an electrical plug, you're clearly retarded and shouldn't be playing around electrical sockets in the first place.

>Using antivirus is for computer illiterate people. The chances of getting a virus while you know your way on the web are not worth the cpu usage of a antivirus.

That's your opinion.
Common Sense is the best anti-virus
>>45493936
Wrong, exploit-based web-based worms like Sasser will infect a computer even if a user is smart enough to not to run infected executables.
CPU footprint of modern antiviruses is slight.

What type of Linux should I use?

Don't use Linux unless you are using it on a server or a phone.

New Stupid Questions thread.
Why does turning on qbittorent makes youtube or any picture impossible to open, and any website wont open half time?
So, is there a way to make a Workspace require a password in order to be accesed? Also, how do I use different wallpapers in different workspaces? Using Korora, Fedora methods work the same though. Xfce.
>>45493641
Because of seeding/downloading
In other words you have shit internet and your ISP is throttling you.
>>45493756
AFAIK there isn't.
I've looked it up before
As for the wallpaper see this

I'm using the latest testing version of mpv on linux, and some subtitles have these sections missing from them in some shows. (.ass softsubs)
It's been happening ever since I got MPV, and was probably a problem on other players, but I didn't notice it then.
Why are all the mainstream browsers shit /g/?
Seriously, is it too much to ask for a non-shit browser that's reasonably stable, has pretty good extension support, and doesn't eat up all of my system's resources?

What are /g/'s other hobbies not related to tech?
Magic the Gathering, anyone else?
Cycling cuz I'm a fit fag
>Is masturbation a hobby?
Alright /g/ I've read this bullshit guide on "Best clients from /g/" and I've gotta say, it's terrible. For my test (on windows), I used three clients: utorrent 2.2.1, deluge (latest), and qbittorrent (latest).

I did, years ago. There's nothing wrong with the newest version either, despite /g/'s constant shilling.
Yes, you CAN disable every single ad by going into the settings menu.
No, there is NO "botnet" or spyware installed. There is NO phoning home whatsoever either.
The adware are in the form of OpenCandy (Google it) and is only installed if you accept the deals in the installer.

Let's talk printers! I'm looking for a good laser printer for reasonable price. So far I found pic related for like $165 and it has a really good running cost. I really like the scanner and the document feeder for that (A separate scanner with a document feeder start from twice as much. Seriously, wtf?). It supposedly has good linux support too but I don't know about the scanner. Sane project says that ADF is buggy, I don't really know what they mean http://www.sane-project.org/cgi-bin/driver.pl?manu=canon&model=sensys&bus=any&v=&p=

Did my resarch, could buy $11 refills for the 2.1k page cartridge. Even if they are jews and fill for half capacity it's still pretty damn cheap.
>>45496105
Fair enough, I got seriously jewed by buying a Canon inkjet once and there were no compatible carts (yes, I checked everywhere at the time).
