Pirate Bay visitors infected with crypto-ransomware via bad ads
>According to security firm Malwarebytes, the chief threats behind the attack on Pirate Bay users were the Magnitude exploit kit and a relatively new ransomware subscription service, Cerber.
>Ransomware attackers have been on a month-long malvertising rampage, targeting visitors to numerous porn and torrent sites to lead them to the Magnitude exploit kit.
>The attack tool chiefly exploits vulnerable browsers and Adobe's Flash Player plugin, and has of late been delivering the Cerber ransomware.

Not sure what private trackers are all about?
The mission of /ptg/ is to promote the highest possible standards of tracker service by providing members with opportunities for professional development, by recognizing technical competence through examinations and by advancing the interests of its members.
Check out the wiki and update it yourself if you want more instead of complaining like a fucking faggot. https://wiki.installgentoo.com/index.php/Private_trackers

Inspect PC, mainly power supply and motherboard
If nothing looks suspicious plug it in with another cable and see if it boots
what linux distro is the most easy to install?
>>54336685
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux,
is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux.
Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component
of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell
utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day,
without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU
which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are
not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a
part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system
that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run.
The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself;
it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is
normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system
is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux"
distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

I'll be building my first PC soon. Tell me how not to fuck it up.

Loom up tutorials and whatever you do dont fall for the people that tell you to use these they only put extra pressure on your board and make it crack faster
4chan /g/ sticky needs some updates but it works well enough.
PUSH THE RAM IN. No, seriously, you're gonna have to push it in hard. Same with the cpu cooler when you're screwing it down.
Also, don't assemble it sitting down on a carpet.

>>54335913
Site is working perfectly fine without Javascript, seeing as JS is there just for the fancy stuff
The problem was also that they had CSS blocked, which my NoScript doesn't.
I simply use a "stop being an autistic neckbeard" type <no script> overlay with 10vw width, so it is immediately apart to the retard.
Can an Android phone ever be compared to an iPhone?
That includes price and consistent performance There is nothing that my G3 can't do, that the next gen Androids could, and iPhones have no purpose anyway.
what's the question again?
>consistent performance
android phones are made by different manufacturers all over the board. There's no consistency at all, hardware or software
>>54335837
The question is if an iPhone can compete with an android phone, despite its huge disadvantage in practicality.
no
an iPhone is an iPhone
an android is just a phone

I'm switching to Opera. I would rather join the Chinese Botnet than the American one.
Based Opera
Yeah based Opera, they even released a newer version of Opera presto a few months ago (Opera 12.18)
If only someone ported uBlock into Opera presto...

>I would rather join the Chinese Botnet than the American one.
>Chinese over American
dude, the Chinese will literally cook you and eat you.
no, that's wrong, what am i saying, the Chinese won't even cook you before they eat you.
no, still way wrong, the Chinese won't even wait for you to die before they literally start eating you.
So my friend upgraded to Windows 10 on his Laptop yesterday and let me try it out. It seems pretty nice but I'm still slightly worried about all the spying stuff everyone on 4chan /g/ is talking about. Does it really spy on you that much? I think a lot of it is bullshit but I still want to hear other peoples' opinions on Microsoft Windows 10.
>>54335250
If you're using XP or above you're already giving them the same amount of metadata that 10 collects. It's non personal and untrackable data that in absolutely NO way can be traced back to anyone. NOBODY should let all this baseless FUD paranoia prevent them from taking advantage of a completely free upgrade to Microsoft's best work yet.
>>54335257
I've used Windows 10 for a while and I think it's pretty decent too. Also it doesn't "spy" on you like all the paranoids with a grudge against Microsoft would have you believe. Don't let them fool you. Windows 10 is the most secure operating system ever released by Microsoft. The only thing Microsoft even gathers is its just standard minimal error reporting data. Almost any program nowadays does that, including OSX and Linux.
speaking of this, i'm trying to find a program that stopped all that tracking shit g was saying is essential for anyone using windows 10 that doesnt want to be tracked, anyone heard of it?

Should I get LG HG2 or NCR18650B for muh XML T6.
What's the /csg/ starter kit?
I can't decide between these two. Yeah the Noctua is going to be quieter with similar performance but I'm running an SLI setup and like the idea of the CPU heat be isolated and removed from the case by the AIO. Thoughts?
>>54335019
AIOs perform best with the rad mounted as an intake, so unless you're ok with cooling your CPU with warm air you're not really moving the heat out of the case anyway.
That said, while I don't have an SLI setup I do have basically the same cooler, and I can say that as long as your case has good ventilation it'll probably be fine either way
>>54335019
Noctura is quiet as shit i have my case open all the time (Aus shits hot all the time)
oldass cooler from 2009 i got adapter plates for my NH-U12 is quiet and runs awesome
That said Water coolers are coming down in price.
Up to you i personally have always run air
>>54335019
I'm a silencefag so I'll always take the aircoolers like Noctua that are powerful but quiet. AIO always worries me because of possible pump noise.
I'd always pick an air cooler over an AIO to be honest, even forgetting about noise. There's no need to worry about "isolation" because either way the heat from the CPU gets moved out the case instead of circulating. Also Noctua will always give you free conversion brackets for future sockets with proof of purchase so it's not only the GOAT but also a worthwhile investment.
So which is it going to be /g/?
