What's your uptime?
Do you frequently reboot your machine? Do you turn it off when you're not using it?
>>54313574
shut down whenever I am away for more than a day
reboot when new kernel
2 days 18hrs 26min on win10
use sleep at night to silence it but only shut down/reboot if i have to for updates or if i won't be around for a while
last shutdown was an all-day power outage, far longer than the 20 mins or so my ups buys me
>>54313574
Turn it off every night. The sound and light bothers me.
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.

Will automatic doors ever become a thing in homes?
>>54312894
only if we make it so
>>54312894
It's completely unnecessary and inconvenient.
>>54313307
Just like touch interfaces instead of knobs that are always in the same place inside cars.
And it's still becoming a thing.

What went wrong?
glasses are for nerds
Car crashes
Google registering every single thing it sees or hears was quite the bummer.
Funny thing is that google captha is saving and storing this post aswell.

Really?
post pros and cons

they are the same damn thing.
Monitors for color sensitive work like cg. tv or shitty monitor for everything else. Not a gamer so no idea about that refresh shit.
>>54311437
Monitor for color sensitivity and accuracy. Tv for going big for cheap.
Arch Hate General.
Share your woes and your pain with arch and its archtistic users
Don't really have any tbqh.
Arch users are the most knowledgeable people on this board and their wiki is undeniably great even for other distros.
>>54310951
what >>54310989 says. While I can't deny that some Arch users are some of the most full of themselves linux users you'll ever talk to, I had an Arch user consult their wiki for a problem I was having on Ubuntu. Turned out to be a problem with mount point syntax that I would have never caught.
Live and let live. If someone wishes to spend their time ricing out their desktop, that's on them.
Im flipping this thread around on OP.
Would the arch installation be any different installing on a VM vs installing on hardrive. I want to try before I switch over from ubuntu.
What does /g/ keep on there RAM disk?

The human hearing range is 20 to 20,000 Hz. As you age this range naturally gets smaller and smaller.
http://onlinetonegenerator.com/hearingtest.html
All you need for 'perfect' sound reproduction is a pair of headphones that can produce 20 to 20,000 Hz.
Even $5 headphones routinely outperform this band, like this one (16 to 22,000 Hz):
http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-Headphones-Lightweight-Comfortable-Audiophile/dp/B00004T8R2/
Other headphone stats like impedance basically don't matter.
TL;DR: For perfect sound reproduction, there is literally no reason to spend more than $5 on headphones.

Theres a whole hell of a lot more to making headphones sound good that frequency. This thread is retarded, and I'm not even arguing against your main point that putting in sounds below 20 or above 20000hz is a waste

Why is it that technological innovation is dying/dead?
There hasn't been any new revolutionary technology since the iphone, and it looks now as if all we're gonna get from here out is gimmicks and other things that just don't work well like VR which is failing. Is there any way to reverse this?
>>54308499
So-called VR is shit for complete retards. MS Hololens is the real future of tech.
>>54308499
Investing into space travel and exploration is the only way. Frivilous gimmicks made to waste time here on Earth won't do jack shit in the long run.
Because you can only do so much with silicon chips.

Welcome to /fglt/. We are always open to users of all levels, including absolute beginners.
There are four ways to try GNU/Linux, you can:
0) Install a GNU/Linux OS on a VM (Virtual Machine/VirtualBox) for "safety purposes"
1) Use the Live ISO directly without installing anything, that way, you can get a "full GNU/Linux experience".
2) Dual-boot GNU/Linux with Windows/Mac...

Did not work out.
Now then doing install all over again aaand, after mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/home it says
Mount: mount point /mnt/home does not exist
Then how am I supposed to add home?
>>54308044
Do I just need to create it?
>>54308044
>>54308079
yes: mkdir /mnt/home
there's a flag for the mount command that does this automatically, I'm sure.. but I don't know it atm
How the fuck do programmers in their 30's deal with posture/back pain issues? The ONLY way I can manage to sit comfortably for long periods is in the slouching position (pic related).
Whenever I try to sit up straight and fix my posture, this puts a such strain on my upper back that I can't sit that way for more than an hour without getting tired and needing to lay down...
Exercise,retard
It's called lifting.

When your employers all offer you gym benefits, you're supposed to use them.
Anyone studies or has studied Computer Engineering or everybody here is about Computer Science?

I have, if you suck at math turn back and take political science

Does Apple even try?
>>54304366
No.
Not since the Surface showed that even their aesthetics are outdated
>>54304366
Did they ever?
