Tell me about your very first personal computer.
Magnavox 286
2400baud modem
Some shitty OS that wasn't Win3.1
>>54410668
Prob GEM
That shit was shoved on many machines before Win3.1 took off.

Are you supposed to throw your old hardware away?
In Japan recycling PC parts cost money.
Depends on what it is. I try to donate as much of it as I can, like slapping together hardware and peripherals to make basic Linux rigs. Super poor college kids use them for doing homework when they get off of work at crazy hours and the computer labs are closed/packed/far away/etc.
Busted shit can be "recycled" but that really means being shipped to Africa where the plastics are melted away by acid so the metals can be collected.

I'd buy one of these, not for the internals but for the case. It has aged well.
If you work for marketing I hope everything that can go wrong does . i am elated when i see how angry and frustrated advertisement companies get at the idea of ad blockers going mainstream . i hope your qualifications become obsolete .
What do you despise about advertisement ?

Hey /g/
I'm planning on upgrading my pc, but don't really have a good idea on which parts i should get, and i'd love it if you guys could give me some advice.
Here's my current rig:
Processor: AMD Athlon X4 760k
Motherboard: MSI A88X-G43
RAM: DDR3 4 GB - 2 sticks 2 GB each
GPU: AMD Radeon R7 200 Series
Power supply:TS550 (550 Watts)
I'm thinking of getting a couple of 4 GB Ram sticks and a AMD Radeon R9 390, but i'm not sure if that's compatible with my current motherboard, or if there's a more efficient way to upgrade it.
Ideally i'd like to spend ~400€, but i can go up to 500€ if it's worth it.
Thanks for any advice!
Wait for zen
What do you use it for? I wouldn't get a new card now with Polaris and Pascal so close.
Nice image btw, I should re-read Worm.
>>54410606
I mostly use it for Paradox games, or LOL.
It's alright for my current use, but there are a few triple A titles i'd like to play that i can't with my current build (or the performance goes way down).
Ideally i'd like to be able to run something like dark souls 3 or the Witcher 3 on ultra with decent FPS
This thread is about the appreciation of watches, as well as the micro-engineering and materials engineering that is required to make a fine watch.

did they make a mistake?
Site says 10 bucks too.
Too bad they're out of stock, I was about to buy a couple.
>>54410643

What's the best sorting algorithm?
>>54410476
Bogo sort. O(1) best case
>>54410503
O(n) to shuffle, O(n) to check if correct, so best case is O(n)
>>54410476
sleep sort.

/BSD/ thread
I came cause I have a question
why might I consider using openBSD instead of freeBSD for my personal computer? I'm looking to install a BSD on this thing, and know my way around freeBSD, but wanna know if I should do openBSD. It ran like shit in a VM so I don't really consider that a good test.
Also waifu wise netBSD is cutest for me
>>54410170
All the BSDs are awesome. That said, you really have to decide based on your usage.
FreeBSD is the one most likely to easily get up and running to look something like a Linux desktop.
OpenBSD and NetBSD have different strengths. You'll need to check your hardware compatibility with them. They're really good to study Unix with though. I find it really nice to understand the elegance of how OpenBSD works. I also like their innovation with security.
>>54410247
I suppose I'll just go for freeBSD and give netBSD a go in a VM... I hope it runs well in there. I found it strange how crippled the performance of openBSD was, now, I was using virtualbox to be honest, which doesn't have the best speed.
>>54410437
I think you'll be happy with FreeBSD. You either get into OpenBSD or not. It isn't for everyone. Their mission statement is security, not optimizing for speed. With a modern system, the most complicated app I run is Firefox. OpenBSD did just get a patch help with Firefox speed issues. It's not in release yet afaik, only in -current.
>I use Fedora
Why are you beta testing for Red Hat?
>>54410165
It just works.
dnf is way better than apt, fedy is fantastic, I get all the new software, Gnome 3 is best optimized on it and haven't had any crashes yet.
>>54410284
GTK is btw shit

tips*
it's over. no unverified addons even with override landed on beta
can't wait for a shitstorm it would cause in stable
Firefox 47: (Pushed from Firefox 46). Release and Beta versions of Firefox for Desktop will not allow unsigned extensions to be installed, with no override. Firefox for Android will enforce add-on signing, and will retain a preference — which will be removed in a future release — to allow the user to disable signing enforcement.

hey /g/, im looking to create a kind of third party installer in which mouse led configuarations will automatically complete.
That is to say the user will lose control of the mouse and it will automatically drag and drop icons around the screen to configure.
Does anyone have any idea how I could do this? Google was useless as I cant even find simple words to describe it accuratly
So you want a virus?
a powershell script might do it, but im looking to make it fairly universal
>>54409819
no, its just a tool to make configuring software slightly quicker on my day to day job.
the only example I can give is in Morrowind Overhauls installer, if anyone has used it?
