What's been troubling you, anon?

core 2 is always 10 degrees warmer, even immediately after I turn on the PC.
My computer is being bottlenecked by the hdd to the point of applications hanging and local ssd prices are stupid as in $102 + shipping for a 120gb 850 EVO.

Have to start pulseaudio manually with openrc. Makes me wonder if the no systemd thing really is just a meme.
>>52959254
I installed 3 apps on my G3, everything else is vanilla and I'm loving the shit out of it.
Just upgraded from pirated 8.1 to legit 10.
Started an intro to sysadmin course.
Went to my first oly lifting competition today.
I'm interested in those intel NUC things but I'm worried about the cooling being shit.
I'd build a desktop with AMD's Zen CPU even if they aren't on par with intel's just to support AMD. I'm cheeky like that.
>>52959435
I get that but with core 3, and it's 5-6 degrees not 10.
I get the feeling it has something to do with how we screwed our cooler in. Or it might be a lower binned core that just runs hotter.
>>52959830
Install fulmics on your g3, it's fucking amazing.
My windows os corrupted. Can't even load it to the error screen. Just constant black.
>inb4 use linux
I have this ThinkPad X201 sitting around gathering dust. It's such a cute little machine, but it gets zero use because I carry my Surface shilltab to class, and use a T420 at home.
>>52961677
Get some cheap usb n64/nes/ps1 controllers and use it as an emulator.
And use it to replay older god tier games like halo combat evolved and total annihilation.
You could do that on your desktop, but the thinkpad is far more portable so you can take it out with you or use it anywhere in the house.
Alternatively if you don't have a smart tv you can use it as a media device for watching movies and anime on your big screen.
Just some ideas to think about
>>52960101

>>52959699
You're not alone on this one anon.
It actually tears me up, I hate how materialistic I am in this sense, but buying cool shit actually brings me happiness.
I downloaded more RAM but I still can't play Minecraft and I don't know how to uninstall these browser toolbars that don't let me download anything without a bunch of popups.

I bought an H170 Gigabyte board and I can't set custom fan curves in the bios. My CPU cooler ramps up dramatically from time to time, making my otherwise silent mITX build loud and obnoxious.
I also went to college for finance when I should have stuck with computer networking. Fuck me.

AMD fights for your freedom, anon. I've only used Intel before, but I plan to switch to AMD.
>AMD RAM and SSD
that is a bit much
>>52966786
That really sucks. It's tough to find friends when you're not young anymore. I've got some friends, but a lot of my old ones don't really talk to me anymore or aren't friends with me at all anymore. It's pretty sad to think about, because I had pretty much stopped making friends by middle school. (friends I would hang out with outside of school and actually care about that is)
>>52966786
>>52967215
sometimes I wanna be friends with posters like this but then I remember that there are people on /g/ who use Windows and do other shit that would drive me crazy and that it's not worth the risk

>>52959254
My startup is in a bit of a lull and I'm not sure how to proceed. We need to raise money in order to continue but I don't really want to get a loan or get financed by investors. I'm considering just getting a normal job for the next several months, but I don't really know what jobs I should be looking for. I really don't want to walk into a job interview and be disingenuous about my situation, but I understand it's also hard for potential employers to hear that I'm only interested in working with them for a short period of time. How the fuck am I supposed to present this to people?

Chin up, anon. If you spend enough time coding and learning different solutions to common math problems you'll start making better and better code after some time.
Just dont forget to read about the shit you dont know yet and get informed about "how to make beautiful code".

Funny that /g/ is probably gonna roast me for this fact, but I do have 1 friends and even a gf in real life which I found through playing video games. (more precisely GW2). I even plan to marry that girl once Im out of University.
Also a few people I play CS:GO with consider us to be pretty close friends even though we never met in real life.
If you are an antisocial fucktard, no matter how ugly or fat you are, as long as you find people with common interests (in my case playing certain video games) its pretty easy not to feel lonely online. If you fail to achieve even this then you have never really tried. Prove me wrong.
>inb4 >>>/v>
At least Im not a fat neckbeard but a skinny guy that enjoys PvP for the sake of burning time. Browsing /g/ is also ONLY about burning time, so pls dont be a fucking hypocrite.

>>52967964
anon, i want you to do this:
find some form of habit-making app on your phone and download it.
set a reasonable time to start working and a reasonable time to stop working. for me i have 10.00 to 18.00.
between those two times all you do is eat and learn how to code. after 18:00 you're back to doing whatever.
you just need to trick yourself into doing it and then keeping doing it. saturdays and sundays are off of course.
>>52970158
>being this butthurt
Lonely? Dislike the fact that others are happy?
Just kill yourself.
>>52970329
If by 'lonely' you mean 'free', then yes I very much like being 'lonely', i.e. 'free'. You seriously can't be that stupid to believe that a walking tampon disposing machine can make you happy. Lmaoing @ ur pathetic life.
>>52970158
>what are filters
Tbh. I don't even see the whole partpicker/GPU vs GPU threads etc. anymore.
If you do and you dislike it, maybe apply some filters.

>>52970370
>fat looser who convinced himself that dieing lonely and alone one day is just the right thing for him.
Or maybe its because you are still too young to understand what matters in life. Looking at your previous post, this is actually the more likely case, kid.
Also, you can have freedom AND friends AND a gf. Its not binary. But obviously a person who has never felt anything like friendship before in his life needs to experience this first, so I wish you good luck, no matter how broken you are, anon.
After all, I like you.
>>52970412
>saying all that just to prove a point to yourself on /g/
how embarassing
>>52970403
I never told you to stop liking walking tampon machines, you're the one who's doing 'stop liking being alone' thing. So please fuck off, don't impose your dumbfuck ideas upon people who have free will.
>>52970412
Ayy lmao, no you can't. Friends, gf all that shit is superfluous and distracting, takes your free times, money, brain cells, so it's too much of a bother. What matters in life is freedom and you can't have that if you have other people connected to you with a grappling hook.
>>52961677
>I have this ThinkPad X201 sitting around gathering dust. It's such a cute little machine, but it gets zero use because I carry my Surface shilltab to class, and use a T420 at home.
I swear I have read this very exact post before. at least once.

>implying I dont mean it
I am actually dead srs right now, m8. Not trying to prove a point, I just pity you and that makes me feel emphatic, rather than angry. Because after all, I was in the same situation as you some years ago. Maybe less fat, but that doesnt really make a difference, I guess.
>>52970434
>takes free time, money, brain cells
It actually DEVELOPS an interesting part of your brain, thats most likely totally underdeveloped for most users on /g/.
Also, its not "taking away" stuff, but exchanging it. For experiences you could not have other wise, for stuff you learn during a relationship, social engineering etc.
Its actually a quite interesting experience once you are in the middle of it and looking back there is literally nothing I would exchange this experience for.
>>52970487
The only thing it can develop is brain tumor.
>>52970498
Trying to argue against me, while scientific evidence is on my side and while you have no empirical evidence is fighting for a lost cause, m8.
Just stop posting.
>>52970487
it doesn't change that fact that you're embarrassing right now
you're trying to fit everyone into a "i used to be like that" box in an attempt to stroke your ego, that's the embarrassing part, and to add to that, you're actually being sincere
i'm actually getting second hand embarrassment from having to explain this to you
>>52970524
Of course the scientific evidence will be on 'your side', because all the institutions encourage you to engage in relationships and procreate, so this way your dumbass relationships and days like valentine's, birthdays stimulate you to buy, go out, consume and subsequent procreation makes more tax payers for the government, so of course all the scientific evidence will back you up here.
>>52968406
Have you ever considered that maybe 4chan IS actually the reason why you don't have any friends, since if this website didn't exist you'd probably do something else besides shitposting here all day every day?
>>52970537
Maybe you are right, though I didnt do this on purpose if I'm honest. All I wanted to say to you people is, that you need to experience stuff like this before you can make an educated decision weather being alone really is better than being with someone and since you obviously didnt experience anything like that before its quite stupid to assume that you know what you are talking about. I dont see how this is embarrassing in any way, maybe my way of hiding this message was a bit odd. In that case, sorry you didnt get my point. But yeah, my way of trying to fit everyone in this box was wrong, I apologize. Didnt mean to do it, though.
>>52970557
Those are the weakest arguments I have ever seen, anon. Trying to disprove years of science on this topic by putting on your tinfoil hat and saying its a conspiracy and the government is behind it is just plain bullshit. If you really think there is anything true to what you said, you are sadly a very stupid and confused person.
Also, look at the animal studies regarding this topic.

You will never have a career in electronic music if you're not willing to go out and play some gigs unless you are absolutely amazing.
>>52971209
I know.
I'm still too shit anyway, so the point where I start to think about selling music, having fans, etc. is still far away.
When the time comes, I'll be happy to do it.
I tried switching the screens of two laptops since one of them has a broken screen and the other one is just fubar in general, but the screen still works. But now the screen just has it's backlight on and doesn't show anything and I'm afraid I broke it
>>52959830
Stats?
>>52971252
So long as you are doing it for yourself and keep your expectations realistic you'll be fine. I've worked in electronic music for 15 years and have been making it as a hobby for 20. I've always known my music isn't commercial enough to sell as it's too weird but my job is tangental to that, tech related and in the field so it makes me happy without effecting my personal relationship with my creative output. Perhaps look in to something like studio or live work?
Anecdotally, people who make music to chase the cash often have short, unfulfilling careers.
>>52971327
Yeah, I read a lot about the industry, the artists, etc. and what you said seems to be true most of the time.
The problem is, I really like doing it (playing with a DAW is 10 times more fun than plaing a videogame, and is also more fulfilling), but the only reason I take it seriously as the goal career, is because I have no other choice.
If I don't make it doing this, then I'm VERY likely to be completely fucked for life, as I can't do most jobs for one reason or another.
I would love to do it as a hobby (and make my living doing something else), but I can't afford to.
