Thanks for the Reminder Reimu. I'll see you on /b/ later tonight.
I've never gotten a straight answer about power strips. Are cheap generic brand strips just as safe as the more premium brands? Are premium brands safer or is that just snake oil? How many outlets can you safely have on one power strip? How many on one circuit total across several power strips? How much should you spend on power strips?

Not necessarily. Nearly all of my favorite software is free as freedom, and free as in Stallman footcheese.

Is Antergos a /g/ approved distro?
I used it a bit, it's ok, helped me decide I don't need rolling release without going for a normal arch install.
>>55095610
I approve it.

Why do browsers have tabs when every good window manager does tabbing just fine on its own?
It's just feature duplication
>>55095312
Browsers are operating systems on their own now
It's operating systems all the way down

I feel jaded by the modern web with all its Javascript-heavy, tracking-laden, corporate sponsored clickbait shit.
I remember getting net access back in the mid 90s as a teenager, it blew my mind. Joining chat rooms and seeing messages from other people (that you had to keep scrolling the window down to see) was something amazing and new. You ask a question and someone responds, some stranger called druid78 or whatever and you have no idea who this person is or where they live but you just interacted in this 256-color virtual room and it makes you want to take a shit...

I was there in the early days of the Internet too. You're making me nostalgic, OP.
I also feel bad for teens these days. They'll never know what it was like to talk in a teen-only chatroom where every other person wasn't secretly a pedophile.

>>55095213
To add to this, a part of the problem I have with the Internet now is just information overload. There's too much content, and too much novelty. It's addicting, and yet makes me tired and numb.
Nobody get me wrong: I love how tech and communication has advanced, but man, do I long for the days where new information was truly a joy to behold. I wish I was born earlier so I could've stayed in those times even longer.

Opinions on Net Neutrality?
>>55095161
What's your opinion, Anon? Why not put some effort into your post?
Or are you just looking for someone to tell you what to think because you're too lazy to look at it yourself and make-up your own mind?
The FCC wants Net Neutrality or to make Internet access a utility because they don't have the ability to break up massive companies that abuse their position.
It's Plan B.
>>55095305
Yeah, but how much of it do you think is just regulatory capture? On the surface, it's marketed as pro-consumer or pro-the-little-guy, but in the end, you get what's expected out of rich n' powerful people limiting the power of other rich and powerful people: fucking over competition and putting shit in place to benefit you and your other powerful friends.
Is net neutrality really going to be any different, as pro-consumer as it looks?
How do you get comfy?

I'm really torn about getting a new monitor as the one I've been using I've been borrowing and cannot take it with me when I move this weekend. However, I have a 40" Toshiba TV while I'm sure the response time is shit yada yada is 60hz and ultimately looks pretty good that I can use in a nigger rig set up. My budget for a monitor is realistically capped at $200 at the moment since I'm in the middle of a move. I have a pretty strong rig 980ti, 4770k, 16gb DDR3, the works. So would either of these be too much of bottleneck? Any recommendations aside...

Bought a digital ocean
what install?
digital fish
digital mermaids
>>55094947
Cancel your account and use Vultr instead. And bask in the glory of being able to use arbitrary ISOs, and even have them download ISOs server-side using their phat-ass pipes.
But yes, Digital Ocean is quite nice and I used it for about half a year. I'm on Vultr now though, since I can get the equivalent of what I used to for sliiiightly less.
So my friend bought a pre-built pc with a 970 as his graphics card of choice regardless of me telling him to wait. How retarded is he?
Thank god I don't have friends
>waitfags
Are you so poor that you have to dedicate time and effort into saving a few dollars on the perfect upgrade window?
Why not spend that time and effort on getting a job so you can afford to upgrade whenever you want?
>>55094924
Friends don't let friends buy prebuilts.
I have a question /g/entoomen, why are smart phones so weak in terms of durability?
You bring your phone everywhere with you now, it wouldn't be unreasonable to expect that manufacturers would take a little more consideration in improving shock absorption on top of a case.

my computer screen is very wobbly but it doesn't seem like the hinges will just fully break.
I have a macbook pro (plz no bully) so does anyone know of any cases where the hinges completely break on one of those? or do they just get very loose ??
>>55094720
Look under you computer and see if there are any screws located close to the hinge-part of your PC.
Loose hinges are just loose screws, so just tighten those screws.
Dont know how macbooks are, but every computer I've had loose hinges on in the past have been solvable this way.
How have you managed that? I've got quite a lot of Mac laptops (two of which I've used for over 10 years), and the hinges are as good as new.
You must be one of those faggots who slams the screen shut and yanks it open.
>>55094752
I would have to open the whole thing up to tighten them so if its not going to just fall off it's not worth taking it apart.
>>55094759
I've had it for 5 years and no I was actually very careful when opening and closing it.
