Google Voice, fucking idiot
>>55003188
That is not very nice.
>>55003188

Are function keys deprecated?
>>55003025
Nobody uses function keys but rapey sweaty nerds.
Of course not, they're great when you run out of easy to remember emacs key bindings.

This
I love my Western Digital drive.
I've had it for 5 years, and it's almost constantly been running.
Never had a single problem.
Although, I think I'm due for an upgrade since the capacity is quite low.
Best drives thread?
I had a 1.5TB seagate last me almost 7 yrs. This drive was used in my server which stays on 24/7. Drive date code listed as 09/3/17. Failure date was early this year.
Yeah my western digital drive has been in use for about 6 months and I think it's shitting the bed. I can't be bothered to take a screenshot becuase my computer is currently running encredibly slowly.

if your computer has a built in webcam+mic and you haven't taped over it, just kys
years ago a kid hacked them so the firmware can be altered not to turn the light on when recording
I've got my eyes on you, Marcus.
>tfw my gtx 680 runs like shit
>tfw it's even worse than my friends HD7970 which he paid less for
Can't wait for the 480x or 490 to be released, I need the upgrade from a company that won't stop optimising my gpu because it needs a new architecture every year.
Fuck you nvidia.
>he fell for the nvidia meme
I've never had any problems with the 750m in my laptop. It's the only Nvidia card I own, but still. You're looking at a difference of 3 fps in one game... Not much to complain about.
>>55002889
>7970 was more than 10% behind the 680 on launch
>now it's more than 10% faster
Hell, even the 7950 is starting to edge out the 680...
Anybody else glad this shit is finally gone?

Indifferent, I don't use Chrome
>>55002730
When you get used to it it wasn't that bad. More convenient than opening chrome,

Indifferent, I turned that shit off after two seconds of using it.
