I'm thinking about switching to Arch my main OS on my pc, only reason i still use windows on it are programms like after effecty, sony vegas, photoshop and so on.
Are there decent alternatives available for linux?
sadly, no
No. Drop the idea of ever switching to Linux if you use those programs.
This thread is bait.
as someone who uses ubuntu mate what are he pros and cons of changing to arch is it better and easier to use?
>>55571694
If you are happy with mate, stay with mate.
Arch isn't really "difficult" but sometimes it will consume a lot of time.
>>55572037
time in doing what
It's not better or worse, but it isn't easier. You will need to install and configure every single part of a fully functioning desktop system yourself.
Why did it last so long?
You could buy Pentium 4 branded CPUs from 2000 and as late as 2006.
I just pulled those years of out of my ass.
Intel bribed OEMs to use it
>>55571524
>worse than most AMD products at the time
>Intel won anyway
Pentium 4 was a malignant tumor.
>>55571551
Thats mainly because intel though they could keep driving the clocks up for as long as they wanted. Turns out that wasnt the case because the heat and power consumption got out of control, of which the double pumped ALUs contributed a significant part. Netburst was intended to eventually hit 10ghz.
Had AMD and their own Pentium M slapped them in the face with the fact slower and wider is better, they would have instead released the monster that is Tejas, an architecture with a 40-50 stage long pipeline and...

Since Skype is an absolute piece of shit, what's similar and better software that will let me log in with my Skype credentials?
the web client at web.skype.com it doesn't support video though
Skype down for anyone else?
>>55571475
Why not just use mumble instead of that literal botnet skype?
i7s. post 'em.
I start. i7 3770 on asus H77 pro m. still going strong, no reason to upgrade
Hyperthreading is overrated. You need to turn it off to get the best stable OC anyway
there is already a speccy thread, there is no need for an i7 edition or whatever the fuck you think differentiates this from the other thread.

What is the lightest OS for old computers ?
I have a quite old laptop with Pentium M 1.5 Ghz and 512 mb ram (shared for graphics, so 480 really).
Currently it has Windows XP, but it's really slow, to the point it can't be used. I'd only need to browse the internet.
>>55571432
>I'd only need to browse the internet.
It's not just the OS, it's the browser. A single tab will use from 50 to 300MB. You don't have enough RAM for the modern internet.
If you must, try a light linux distro such as Slax.
Linux light.

you can run firefox with that much ram

Why does duckduckgo.com resolve to a Amazon botnet network? Fucks sake man.
DuckDuckGo is a honeypot set up by the feds.

Because AWS is a huge cloud infrastructure provider. It's hosted by amazon, but the company rents servers / network infrastructure / data stores for their own uses.
Literally everyone uses hosted solutions for something or other right now. It doesn't make much sense to run bare metal farms anymore unless you have unlimited amounts of cash.
Microsoft Azure is the same kind of deal, google also has its own web services offerings as well

How much money have you spent on tech in the last 5 years?
What would you do if you had that whole amount as a lump sum right now?
Would you be happier if you had that money and none of the tech you bought instead of all of the tech an none of the money?
Roughly $500.
1 used Thinkpad several years ago (but the mobo went kaputt)
1 new craptop because I couldn't find anything decent at local store (even the ones that costed 2x as much as I paid were lame)
I guess I'm stuck using this one until it breaks, because my needs are very, very low. Pretty much use command-line for everything, and avoid Web 2.0 sites.
I doubt I'd do much differently. Well they had another laptop with 13-inch screen but no hard drive that looked pretty cool. Maybe I'd get that one instead, if only because using text mode...

I got a wii + 200€ worth of games over that time and later a new PC for about 400€, at most 500 for various accesories.
I wish i spent more and got the PC earlier, bacause i was into bitcoins back then but mining on a laptop dualcore wit integrated intel graphics wasnt effective. Had i joined the glorious PC masterace earlier i would have made all that money back with a good profit
>Heh, no need for a new laptop. These old ThinkPads are still good for another 5-10 years.
What happens after that? Since Lenovo doesn't make any good laptops anymore, and other companies are turning their business-class laptops into consumer-grade Macbook clones...
just get a Macbook

Buy an ultrabook you retard

Alright /g/, 2 years ago I ended my relationship with my ex and literally became a isolated NEET, shitposting on /g/ all day and night, barely getting passing grades on university, didn't even kiss any girl all that years.
A year ago I made the best decision in my life, and bought a 15 inch Retina MacBook Pro®. That's when my life started changing.
With the Mac I really got into iOS development, it's really fun and easy, I started learning Swift and it's simply great, everything just works, and my self-steem started increasing exponentially.

I fucking hate normalfags.
Can we have a normalfag hate thread?
Mine does that too but it's because of water damage.
>>55570895
What makes you think you're not normal? Are you morbidly obese? Are you suffering from some rare illness?
Are you an amputee?

That's water filling telco pits and fucking with your lines (heavy rain can also fuck with microwave links, which can also hinder you depending on your location.

Hi /g/ I have a problem with a found iphone 5 ... I can't get past the activation because of the apple id confirmation, can't contact the previous owner because there is no SIM in it nor do I have any details about him/her as no one cared to retrieve it, >inb4 go kill yourself for stealing ... not everyone is a thief, I genuinely want to make the damn thing work
Return the phone, Tyrone.
Might as well turn it in mate. Apple will only unlock it with a receipt and I don't know of any other way past it.
>>55570833
You can't get around it. Take it to an Apple Store and say you found it, they'll get it back to the owner no questions asked.
Trying to sell it on Craigslist won't work, because nobody will buy an iPhone with an iCloud lock.
Just return the phone.

It's a meme designed to flood the industry with low quality programmers in order to turn software development into the janitorial work of the 21st century.
Most programming jobs are basically mundane CRUD work designing data entry guis for websites and business software.
CRUD programming is basically computer janitor work.
They want to lower the wages to match.
>>55570488
Basic CRUD work should be cheap. It reflects the value of the work.
>>55570488
any fucking retard out there can make websites without ever knowing anything about computers and math
wages should be low
