Trips confirm, but he is supposed to be a bit smarter than regular smart people. What he says here is complete rubbish. I start to think the BBC twisted what he really has said.
I know I'm gonna get hate for this, but I really need it: is there a way to bypass/brute force a private tumblr blog password?

LMAO not when it's as insecure as skype kiddo.
How will typical laptops look in the 2020s?
Two tablet screens, kinda like a retina Nintendo DS.
>>45438729
Not sure if that's awesome or my worst nightmare.
Tablets and 2-in-1's are the future, i.e. Surface Pro 3. We just have to make non-shit keyboards for them, though the latest surface line has improved it quite a bit.
Desktop master-rigs will still be popular for the home.

What are the browser requirements?
Steam Broadcasting is currently supported by the latest versions of the following browsers:
>Steam Client

considering steam is using the webkit-engine, I'm not really surprised that they're shitting on firefox/ie.

What is happening to you /g/?
What exactly does a download accelerator like DownThemAll do? I've never understood the use for it
Also what are the essential privacy filters for ABP? I've only got the defaults.

What auto complete plugin should i use?
Supertab? Anything better around?

SingleCompile could be a nice addition.
Any reason why you have 2 git integration plugins? Just curious why. I'm currently not even using one. Is it sweet?
Best value/money ultrabook.
I thnk Asus UX32LN takes the cake. There is nothing better out there.

You should buy UX32LN or UX32LA if you wont be doing lightgaming. Nothing that beats them IMO

Virtual server hosting --
Hey /g/ does anyone have any experience with paying monthly for a virtual server like this
www.1and1.com/vps-hosting#top
It says gives you root with a static IP. I basically want to use it to test programs/web dev stuff I like to jerk around with from time to time. I'm curious if you can actually install programs, have access to a desktop environment (though not required) So, anyone out there have any advice/experience with this? I will possibly turn it into a public facing web server down the road.
fuck that scrub shit, use aws or google cloud.
>>45427261
why?
>>45427248
I have never used 1and1 but the website looks like a fake anti-virus scam site.
>have access to a desktop environment
Its a server anon not a desktop.
But yes assuming 1and1 is not shit you should be able to build your own web server.
