I just got hit by a pretty bad virus hidden in a torrent which windows defender could not detect and task manager could not close and that could not be deleted manually.
How can I make sure that there is nothing else running secretly? I ran hitman pro and that got rid of everything obvious but I'm still nervous.
>>55238706
My God, even Windows Defender couldn't detect it?!
>>55238711
ya seems like OP got something really nasty
only way to fix is to Install gentoo and use their ultron antivirus package.
Install gentoo OP
>>55238706
you reformat and start fresh after backing up any important documents or pictures and stop torrenting executables.
>mfw you disable f.lux late at night because you don't think it's doing anything
>>55238629
>not using redshift
I have redshift set to 5700k for day and 3600k at night.
I may go a little lower with the daytime though. It's nice to have it autostart and just adjust for you. Geoclue even worked and figured my lat and long.
I've become addicted to "dark room" mode at night. Use it on my Mac and Android shitphone (both using Flux).
I'm thinking of getting an iPhone, and the one things that's really holding me back is that I don't think Flux for iOS has darkroom mode.
(pic isn't my Mac, but it doesn't show in screenshots. It puts the whole screen into red-on-black mode... fucking GLORIOUS at night... want to red-LED mod my Kobo now too).
Why did you spend more than $80 on a phone?
How do you justify this?
I spent 70€
>>55238554
Some people have boost contracts and they feel like getting watevet phone
I didn't. I don't have one.
Why do retards on /g/ use 50 privacy addons like 'smart referrer, noscript, user agent spoofer, etc', when you can just use uMatrix?
Iridium browser + uMatrix + 90k line hosts file master race reporting in.
Your epeen sounds huge bro tell me all about it
>>55238549
Why would a hosts file ever need to be that big
>>55238549
Having such a large hosts file negatively affects a whole bunch of things, why do that when uMatrix already has host lists built into it. So the only retard I see is you OP.
Also Iridium Browser is a botnet, check out some topics on HN with the proof.
What went wrong?

>Looking at laptop reviews
>Lack of backlit keyboard always presented as a major flaw
Why is this /g/? Why do people care so much? Can't you just turn the light on? Or even better, learn to type properly?
>>55238483
I mean backlights for me wouldn't be necessary, but they would be useful when I don't have the lights on. For "gaming" keyboards, I guess the backlights have to be there, for the aesthetics. For now though, I just pull my curtain aside, gotta get some sun, you know?
>>55238545
my bad didn't catch the laptop part lmao
Even then I don't really get it
>>55238483
Laptops have weird keys that are unique to themselves and generally aren't present on standard keyboards. Normally for most gaymers we already know how to touch type so the backlit keyboard is just a courtesy that is nice to have on non-standard configurations.

Is there point in running free libre Linux distro next to nonfree ones?
I don't want to advocate free software just by talking about how important it is.
But is there really a point when I'm going to install it next to Windows and Arch?
I need Windows for some vidya and software like Photoshop and Sony Vegas, and I need Arch for browsing nonfree sites and vidya mainly.
What would /g/ suggest?
>>55238323
Getting a life
>>55238359
How do you install that?
Is it free libre and open source?
Do I have to spend hours configuring it?
>>55238323
No, unless you're also running libre hardware the point is kind of moot.
>he has an AMD CPU
>but also a Nvidia GPU
If you were too poor to get a decent Intel processor how could you get a Nvidia?
Good post xD
Have an upvote
>>55238241
Its a serious issue, anon
pops up occassionally and its usually a good sign that someones batshit insane
Most games are GPU-intensive

Not too sure about that Jewish money laundering scheme at nVidia either, Abel.
What to use?
I used habit browser for years because I really love customizable interface, but now it regularly crashes for nofucking reason, so I'm looking for replacement.
Lightning Browser
>>55237910
I read comments, lots of people complain about recent updates. Unless there is place where I can download stable version, I'd rather skip it for a while.
Fennec
Anyone know if the 480's fan is not gonna be shit? Im wondering if I should wait until a third party to like MSI to make a better cooled one?
>>55237864
isn't it normal that third party coolers will be better
although i'm sure that the stock fan is okay for OC and shit
i'm getting an aftermarket one just for a dvi port
>>55238444
Yeah I just don't want the card to overheat very often because of a shitty fan
look what I have found
gonna scrap them for recycling, or sell them if I can
You guys remember this old stuff. hahaha
If I get dubs you ship em to me
Looks like some old school server drives of some sort.
Big ass floppies maybe?
If they're being scrapped and in bulk like that, probably not worth much.
Try and find model names or manufacturer stickers on them somewhere.
They look cool, thats for sure.
Ah, saw the Sony and dvcam logos.
These are tape drives. They're worth like 20$ tops each if they still work, more if you have dv or mini dv tapes
post em
