So 2 questions (inb4 not ur tek support, go fuck yourself, I help people all the time here).
1 - How do I get into the UEFI from a boot loop? It has that stupid fast boot shit on and goes straight into the post, doesn't wait for a F8 prompt?
2 - What Linux distro should I install?
Also not posting photos of her even though she's a cute redhead.
Put linux live cd/usb? Or tear it down format whole hdd?
>>54790421
That involves getting into the BIOS and changing the boot order. Fast boot cancer prevents that from happening.
>Also not posting photos of her even though she's a cute redhead.
Fuck off
I fucked up.
What to do?
Return one or both, buy a pack or use your brain in the future.

Jammeys, bed, NOW!
Android phones, and just like in the picture, a galaxy, can be more expensive than an iPhone.
>>54790350
You sound poor, Jamal.
I just ordered NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti 4GB for 180$.
How fucked am I?
>>54790222
considering you could've at least gotten a 960 for a little more means you fucked up.
Extremely
I hope this is b8
How does /g/ justify adblocking?
How do you justify creating the same thread every day?
>>54790189
ads use the bandwidth I paid, while they make my browsing even slower than it already is. ads are also very intrusive, and mostly useless.
sometimes, ads redirect to malware sites, which makes them a security concern.
I don't care that's how. Everything is fucking top 10 list bullshit on the Internet now anyways. It all needs to be nuked because the Internet is now out of the hands of the people and into the hands of the billionaires.
whats the best quality brand of CD-R?

What does /g/ think of Pale Moon? Is it really faster, more stable, and more secure than Firefox?
No, it's deprecated and obsolete
>>54790038
It is outdated. Outdated = insecure a priory.
Okay, okay. I don't think we have had a thread like this before.
Whole point of this thread is to share with /g/ how shit your computer is. Does not have to be your main tower.
For example I have a shitty secondary Dell Vostro 200, has a Pentium dual core 1.8GHz processor, and has 1.5GB of RAM.
OP here.
This CPU is so fucking shit, I really need to swap it out with a C2D and some more RAM.
BUMP

Cool blog bro, how do I subscribe?
Why the fuck are companies trying to push this bullshit on us when all it does is end up making half your applications look blurry as fuck?

>when all it does is end up making half your applications look blurry as fuck?
except it doesn't?
I run both OSX and Windows 10 on my iMac with 5K display, everything looks sharp
>>54789958

>>54789958
>I like aliasing!
What does /g/ think?
Do you carry your software on a USB stick?
>>54789952
It's very nice if you regulary have to use PC's that are not yours at work or in school and where you don't have admin right. Or if you're visting family/friends and have some apps with you. But not for my main PC.
>>54790066

portable apps? more like placebo apps
Is anyone using NixOS as their primary operating system? How is it: How up-to-date is the software, are the features as neat as advertised, how is the configuration system etc.?
No one? Nix package manager looks really cool.
Sorry OP, we only discuss ricing and consumerism
>>54790193
Damn.
I'll just leave this here then, to maybe get someone interested (because I am).

Currently I'm running Arch, but this looks nearly good enough to switch if it works as well as advertised. Imagine changing your system configuration and you can automatically boot back into a previous system configuration via GRUB if something goes wrong.
Everything is completely reversible.
How does Netflix know that I'm using a proxy when I use Hola?
