Why do people still use Windows 10?
It's a surveillance heaven, it's forced down your throat, and it fucks up your perfectly working programs.
>dude, i have nothing to hide, what are you talking about?
Tell me that when your country is a 1984-esque hellhole, where anything that Big Brother doesn't like can get you a ticket to a slow and torturous death.
>you don't need to use it, you can revert to windows 7
And spend extra time reconfiguring shit.
I'm guessing even with Windows...

My question is why do people still bitch about Windows 10 when there are alternatives out there?
>>54903905
My guess is because Windows has the most programs out there, so programs + forced down your throat = People that are stuck with it.
>Why do people still use Windows 10?
Because it's good.
>It's a surveillance heaven, it's forced down your throat, and it fucks up your perfectly working programs.
Nope, you're just a paranoid little dumbass. Use Linux and give us a break.
>Can the shills convince me to start using Windows 10, and not Linux?
No one is going to convince you of anything, we don't give a shit. Go back to Linux and stop complaining every fucking day.
So turns out I found a feature in new versions of mpc-hc that I need, so I'm finally getting rid of this relic. What codec pack has replaced CCCP? KCP? Custom install? The only thing I needed was pitch corrected playback when increasing speed to watch all the lecture recordings I'm behind on.

I HAVE TO LEARN SO MUCH SHIT FOR MY EXAM THIS WEEK HELP. I don't want to spend hours configuring my codec pack, I'll do autist stuff after my exams thanks.
Am I the only one who doesn't see the point in 21:9 monitors? I see all these tech youtubers running these damn things for some reason.
>>54903597
increased working space, if you run programs that benefit from that.
7:3
>>54903621
I get that, but I'd rather run a 2560x1600 monitor for height when editing video, maybe two of them two get it real wide, but the 21:9 resolutions are just completely off the wall.
>walk away from laptop
>come back
>CPU fan is going fucking insane
>its really hot
>"wake" computer up by moving mouse
>immediately stops
Every single fucking time, every single mother fucking time i come back to my computer and its on but the screen is off, the fan is shitting itself, and then it slows down after i go to see what the fuck is using...

then throw your windows in the trash and switch to whatever linux distribution
It's the task scheduler's idle task for system maintenance; indexing files for search (shitty since Vista, much improved in 10), optimising .NET CLR assemblies, cleaning up Windows Update manifest folders that kind of shit.
It runs at Idle priority and is specifically told to only run when you're away from the machine, and stop when you're back.
I think you can even see it in the Task Scheduler?
You're welcome.

Emacs/Vimfags, explain to me how being able to instantly select any part of the screen using your mouse makes you *less* productive than scrolling around with your keyboard.
Hint: you can't.
>>54903425
Because you're a NEET
>>54903425
it doesn`t. also you can do this in vi{m}/emacs too
>>54903425

>The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose (freedom 0)
>Only recommends distros that actively reject proprietary software
Why is this retarded hypocrite praised again?
because you can't use proprietary software as you wish, for any purpose
he only recommends distros that reject softwares aganist freedom 0.
>>54903006
But then I can't use those distros as I wish.
>>54902946
How is that hypocrisy?
>>54903020
>But then I can't use those distros as I wish.
Yes you can. He doesn't recommend it, but that's not the same as stopping you.
I have nothing but hundreds of lines of random day to day notes involving tech, food, general life/entertainment info, and more random garbage in a txt file sitting on my desktop. Discussion on how you guys manage this kind of stuff?
>>54902942
>Simple, categorized, hierarchical notes
Org-mode.
>Pictures, links+automatic screenshots of linked pages, sketches, typography-dependent text, anything more complicated than the above and needs to be shared between devices and organized via topic with links to other pages or topics
OneNote. It also had OCR, which makes it convenient for taking pictures of text in books and being able to search for it later like it was regular text input manually....

>>54902942

Except I have hundreds of post its on top of that and also a list of about 200 threads on /g/ which I have yet to read through from archive. fugg.
why do use linux?
>>54902852
Freedoms
better question
why do you use windows? why do you want to pay for your computer's basic software, while there's free alternative? ubuntu is enough for daily use, and you can run every microsoft office version. linux is useless at games but at least now steam supports it. if you are a faggot who spends 5 hours a day gaming go with windows.
>>54903085
Because Linux has no Foss alternatives for primvera and remote SAP you shitwad
Fad or Fab?
But laptops are portable.......so what's the point of this shit?
>>54902732
Its so small, it fits in your asshole :*)
>>54902749
They're smaller than laptops
So, what the duck happened? Did he have a mental breakdown?
>>54902708
>abused by police
>kills himself
>oh he must have had a mental breakdown
if he was black there'd be a thousand dindus marching in the streets
>>54902725
I watched his twitter feed while it was happening. It seemed a lot like he was having a victim complex coupled with a breakdown.
>>54902725
why dont you march your fat white ass on the streets for him
Show me how shitty your system screen is. Take a picture of your screen in a white background, if it has lines its a shit.
Post model(if labtap)/os/monitor:
Thinkpad 420
Arch
>>54902607
I have a similar problem with moving bands too.
It only appears in linux, probably due to shit intelHD support.
>>54902607
if it has lines, your camera is shit
This is literally just pwm in action, aka the screen doing what it's supposed to do.
Put your brightness on full and they'll go away.
