So, /g/, can I use my based android device as a USB sound card for my PC and why is it not a default function?

Does the government maintain an archive of every website that you visit and all the information that you send on the internet?
So logs of all your chats, porn habits, shitposts on 4chan, etc.
Do they only do it for people on a 'list'? What do you need to do to get on such a list?
look, the whole country is a sham pretending to be honest. donald trump is just a reflection of reality. hillary has been violating the law for 30 years and has gotten away with it. everyone cheats. trust no one.

any other unrelated ramblings you'd like to share?

Yes. The USA has been logging all traffic, telephone calls and everything else on the internet since the late 80s. In the 90s was echelon the hot shit, now it is prism. Xkeyscore tracks your browsing habits.

Are there people like me in software engineering, or is it all tech-obsessed geeks? I also have semi-regular sex and don't have Asperger's.
>>55120076
Yeah, there's loads like you. If you're doing something you kinda sorta enjoy, and getting paid for it, you've made it.
>have a job interview
>some fucking faggot asks me if i'm passionate about programming and if i do it in my sparetime
Plenty of people like that in Uni. There's even those who fucking suck at everything but for whatever reason still insist on continuing.

Ok is it worth it switching from a 32 bit browser to a 64 bit one if you have a 64-bit platform. I mean the increase of performance is debatable, chrome alone swallows so much RAM as a downtown alley stripper.
>>55120018
Why the fuck are you using 32-bit anything that also has a 64-bit version when using a 64-bit machine?
>is it worth to use an outdated standard just because it still works?
You should compile it to use instructions specific to your CPU.
It just doesn't fucking matter, to be honest. The 64 bit browser will actually perform worse by a few percentage points (anyone that tells you otherwise is a fucking liar and you can verify that shit yourself). 32 bit code is just too fucking optimized because of maturity and 64 bit code just ain't there yet on any platform.
Seriously, it doesn't fucking matter on modern hardware, use whatever one floats your boat/squeaks your sneaker/straightens your pants/gives you that funny feeling/etc.

What is there to defend? Microsoft preinstalls games since Windows 1.0.
what was using linux like during the 1990s and really early 2000s?
>>55119763
It was like using Windows, except you had to do everything yourself over the phone.
>>55119763
Better because there was no pulseaudio or systemd.
Ugly as sin with a lot of file permission changes via terminal. I only ever used it for academic purposes because there was no other attraction for me to play around.

Why the fuck are camera's so expensive? I just want something decently better than my phone camera, which is like 5MP and horrible
Is it just worth it buying like a used One Plus One or something for an upgraded phone and decent camera?
Any 70$ compact digital will thrash those smartphone 'cameras'
>>55119724
Because you're a silly cuckold who doesn't understand lenses.

im basically retarded but even i can see nvidia is one of the most disingenuous companies to ever fucking exist
how can you support them, i know u like the high frame rates or whatever, but these people are striahgt up lying conniving cunts that will do anything to squeeze another dollar out of you
you see that huge price drop? wanna know why they did that?
when AMD released their lower priced boards thats when nvidia went "SHIT WE CANT KEEP EXTRACTING AS MUCH MONEY AS WE HAVE BEEN FROM THESE FUCKING RETARDS WE BETTER ACTUALLY MAKE OUR PRICES SOMEWHAT...
Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
Not s fan of nvidia but it is a good move to drop price on things that you will no longer support. And truth is, people still buy them and think to themselves, what a great deal.
To each his own, but many people have turned away from the company because of their practice.
>>55119636
bump so you stupid autistic cunts that are incapable of reading into how other people perceive you or feel about you realise hopefully
these people extract money from you and that is it
they are like the chinese
they will fuck you over and try "win" every situation they can. you are not equal to these people. they do not like you. the chinese and nvidia i mean.
>>55119816
to these people, if you have a ""fair deal"" they regard that as a LOSS
if they are not RIPPING YOU OFF THEY CONSIDER IT A LOSS

why?
Because it's cheaper than 980
and with OC can reach it's level of performance

The economic policy of protectionism rarely works and is at fault for the high price of foreign goods in your country. Tax funded subsidies is far more effective for consumers.
My country too struggles with this in some cases, we pay $2.15 per litre of milk. Imported cheeses are so expensive that most people settle for locally produced stuff which has a flavour only slightly stronger than cream. I really miss the cheddar that was so cheap when I lived in Ireland.

99% of the time /g/ says "botnet" the mean dataminer. It became a meme a few years ago to use the wrong word and for some fucked up reason just stuck
Botnet is everything other than BSD.

Nvidia can OC to 2ghz, thats 40% faster than AMD
Clock speed isn't everything. Nvidia barely scales with oc. Also $800 1080 Fools Edition vs $250 rx 480
>>55119596
Then get yourself a nice Preshot and OC it to 8Ghz
