>spents 2 grand in a charles eames
>shitty desktop computer speakers
hey ho
>>54299901
1. That's not an Eames chair, it's an Ekornes. It cost me (second-hand) about a tenth of your '2 grand' assumption.
2. I know the speakers are shit, but I do most of my listening in another room, and my current case (pc-q08) is too loud and would distract from decent speakers anyways. I'll upgrade the speakers once I switch cases.

Literally the only people that do this are the arch weebs who have so much spare time that they need to redesign the only 3 sites they monitor 24/7
What DE does /g/ choose?
>>54299010
xfce
>no ssh server

>>54299010
Cinnamon and MATE are nice, I like them the best.
>>54299010
kde
or xfce if you want something lightweight
Apple, as a tech company, has progressed the industry more than any other business.
Why all the hate?
Lolno the only thing "innovative" they really did were the original Mac and the iPhone....then everyone else pefected them. Apples a joke. Horrible closed down OSes, overpriced hardware etc

>Apple, as a meme company, has regressed the industry more than any other business.
Fixed.
I'm tired of my usb hubs falling off my desk or behind it. does anyone know of a usb hub that either is heavy enough so it wont or what would be really neat is one that sticks to the side of my desk so i can plug stuff into it without it moving?
>>54298652
What is velcro or doublesided tape
>>54298679
Sure if you want your bst to look ghetto as fuck. I bet girls never enter your house what with your shitty taped usb
This is what i meant i hate having to line up usb plugs with stupid horizontal plugs i can just pop this on the side of my desk and plug shit into it easily so i can transfer porn i download on the train to my pc for easy categorizing.
I FUCKING hate google. I changed my name on youtube so that I could comment freely without worrying about people tracing me and it changed my e-mail name, so I was e-mailing my coworkers with a stupid-ass name, on top of that I had a blog from when I was a teenager full of pornographic stuff. So my wife decided to use my phone and opened Google stupid photos app and all the blog pornography was there. FUCK YOU, GOOGLE.
Im done, I'm erasing this google acc right now.
>>54298582
>having a gmail account
>using your private gmail for business email
>having a blog
>putting your real name on anything online
>having a wife
>>54298613
Ok, I agree with you. I was stupid.
But having a wife is good, my weaboo friend. They can cook.
>>54298662
>wife
>good
Pick one. I have Jack, Ronald and the Colonel cook for me. Enjoy your salad.
Help me understand what goes through these peoples head /g/
>Recently gut my grandmas computer to salvage for any useful parts after she got some new one
>Parts were actually fairly new and jewed some people out of money on Craigslist
>Anyways onto the actual story
>Take the computer case she had to the dump since it was basically useless
>As I'm carrying it to the metal waste a 40 year old lady tells me to put it in a special sorting area because something about computer parts being hazardous
>Casually tell her it's just the case and that I removed all the internals
>She gives me this dumbfounded look and asked "You took out all the parts yourself?"
>I'm kinda caught of guard and just go "Yeah?"
>She immediately asks "Do you have a permit for that?"
>I must have given the most confused face I could muster because an older guy that I could only assume is her superior kinda gave me this look and then put his face in his hands
>She continues to go on about how that's regulated and I need to be certified to do that kinda thing if I don't wanna get fined
>She then goes off on about how "computer stuff" can give you cancer and that I should probably get checked out
Mid way through her talking I just put the case on the ground and told her that I needed to be somewhere and drove away. Never in my life have I had a run in with someone so monumentally stupid.
>>54298132
basically these people are technophobes and have very little understanding of how technology works. Aka Boomers.
Just ignore them and kek at their stupidity right in front of them, not like they are gonna do something to you.
>>54298132
I went a similar situation with microwave ovens. I was taking them from the dump and removing the power supplies. The dump attendent warned me that the capacitors contain PCB's. A substance that has been banned since the 1970's.

>an older guy that I could only assume is her superior kinda gave me this look and then put his face in his hands
Sounds like a fun job.
Is the web browser obsolete now that Facebook has a desktop app?
>>54297969
so facebook > internet?
>>54297969
This is for the Windows tablet market Microsoft thinks it has, surely?
>>54297969
No but this presents us with the chance of retards being contained within a specific website, allowing the rest of the internet to be enjoyed by the rest.
Do you value privacy or have you accepted the botnet? What if using the botnet you will have a better future? I valued privacy a lot until I realised I became paranoid, I felt alone, I avoided things because muh botnet muh proprietary software and JavaScript. What did you do?
Please discuss.
>>54297933
Well, for one, I don't listen to anything /g/ says.
>>54297933
>What if using the botnet you will have a better future?
I stepped back and realized that most of the things the botnet gives you are conveniences at best, which I can give up without a great deal of trouble. We did, after all, get along just fine before them (I even remember those days) And there's a lot of botnet that doesn't give you any benefit whatsoever (ads and analytics).
so I removed botnet
>>54297994
samefagging cause fuck you
In the end do you even care? If it gets the job done, then it doesn't matter if it's botnet or not, proprietary or not. If you see computers as anything more than tools, you're probably a NEET nigger
Hello /g/ will you help me building a computer for work?
I work as a seismologist and I need to do a lot of radar imaging processing, the other day i was playing around with a 20016 15 inches macbook pro maxed out and I noticed it had more than enough power to do the job (but it's really expensive and I know it's possible to build something with similar power at a lower price).
So the question is, how do i build a desktop computer with the same (or more) processing power as it? It could be a hackintosh or a linux build;
Btw i was thinking of buying one of those intel nuc bricks, would that be enough?
Pic related is an inteferogram of the 2010 Baja earthquake.
Just get a 200-500$ used thinkpad

>>54297546
Is apple still around in 20016?
>>54297573
Yes, but google owns them now
>Just graduated college, living with my mom and my brother who has downs
>My brother really loves He-man and wanted a new computer for his birthday which was last weekend
>I buy a thinkpad and spend 8 hours setting up a perfect he-man themed arch rice
>Brother loves it, spends hours rewatching the complete He-man series I torrented for him
>Wake up yesterday morning to tard screams
>COMPYUUUTAAA BROKEN ARGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>I lock myself in my room
>Mom goes out to help him
>He starts beating the shit out of her
>Rush out and restrain him, take mom to the ER, padlock my room so he can't touch my rig
>Get around to asking my brother what happened
>From what I gather, an Arch update broke his xorg.conf and he was greeted with a terminal. In his rage he smashed the computer and probably caused a few hundred dollars of damage to various items in the house
>My mom is still in the ER with a really fucked up left arm

Alright /g/, your grandpa wants you to put a GNU + Linux distro on his laptop and his desktop because he's "tired of all the new Microsoft hooplah with the spying and the slow and the errors and the virus". What distro do you pick?
>>54296784
Windows XP SP 4
>>54296784
Xubuntu
>>54296784
Mint.
Opensuse is the best distro, prove me wrong
Pro tip; you can't

Hipsters use Git, not Github you donkey
>>54295970
why would anyone use github over bitbucket though??
I lost interest in github when the founder came to give a speech at a tech conference I attended, and after 20 mins of his speech, his wife came and lectured 2 hours about cultural diversity and how its great, and how we should encourage it in the tech world.
