Are CRTs the best solution for a poorfag looking for amazing image quality?
Or can I get anything better for less than a hundred aud?
Sorry about the mess, was fixing my room up when I took this.

>Are CRTs the best solution for a poorfag looking for amazing image quality?
Maybe, maybe not. At the $100 and under level it's more about luck than any particular design choice.
Look for something well made on the used market. If you can find a 16:10 CRT monitor that would be swell. If you find a 24" IPS LED LCD then that would be great too.

Old dell ultrasharps are
If you are lucky enough to find one. Cheap

And if you are a true bottom tier absolute poorfag, yes, old CRT monitors will provide the best image quality.
You can usually find 20" CRT monitors on craigslist for $20 or less. Sometimes free.

You know after everything's been leaked over the last month I don't hold much enthusiasm hearing Nvidia say the same.
I am so fucking sick of waiting and even in a few months both Nvidia and AMD won't release any decent card.
This FUCKING SUCKS
Is this a bad time to buy a new graphics card?

/G/uys, tell me all the good and bad things about Nehalem, Sandy and Ivy era 12" to 14" EliteBooks and 13" and 14" 6series Latitudes (am not into 12" Latitudes because no clit).
Why should I, or why should I not, choose one of those over a T/X of the same age?

Is anyone here excited about the new Tesla?
IMO it really seems as that within 10 years all the new cars will be electric. I couldn't have imagined this two years ago, but this is starting to be very likely.
Yes I'm very excited. But I think the whole Tesla hype is a bit exaggerated, I mean Tesla makes good electric cars but they aren't the only ones able to make good electric cars. By the time the Model 3 is delivered I bet there are several other alternatives with similar specs and similar price.
It's definitely inevitable that EVs are the majority of the market pretty soon. Here in Norway are already over 20% of all new cars sold electric, we've seen it coming for several years already.
Meanwhile OPEC still claims that EVs will only be 1% of cars on the road by 2040. Pretty baffling, they've got their head in the sand.

>By the time the Model 3 is delivered I bet there are several other alternatives with similar specs and similar price.
Yeah, they also made all the plans and other info public so that anyone could make them. However, they have a name built up and a network of charging stations which is set to grow rapidly within the next few years. If I buy a new car it's going to be electric, and it's going to be a Tesla.
>>54271229
Yeah, booked one. Looking forward to getting it.
Is the range really gonna be 215 miles? If so, that'd be GOAT. Currently get about 80-90 miles on my Leaf.
Linux aside,
Can we at least agree that OSX is superior t0 Wincuck 10?
No. They're both cancer.
So long as you don't care about games
No
We couldn't even agree that the sun will rise in the morning, let alone on this.

How do we make torrenting great again, /g/?

Streaming books and porn doesn't make sense so I still torrent.

yeah streaming sites and direct downloads are the best bet. cause you can use a vpn if you're that scared of honeypot and enjoy everything with no dmca violation.

What are /g/'s thoughts on the HHKB?
Personally i love typing on it, but with the customs costs the price got very high, around 250 euros and I think it wasn't worth that much money.
Found these today:
amazon.com/EagleTec-KG011-Industrial-Mechanical-Keyboard/dp/B015MQH59A (otemu blues)
amazon.com/Redragon-KUMARA-Backlit-Mechanical-Keyboard/dp/B016MAK38U (greetech green)
I keep seeing people say the otemus are decent in the magicforce, what about the greetechs?
>>54269133
I think they feel like really good slider over dome boards, but wouldn't pay over 100 bucks for one.
It's just a classic price fixing by xenophobic companies. 250 will buy pretty much any switch board short of a beamspring.
Post what you're reading and what we should all be reading.
I read pic related for a course last January. 10/10 would recommend.
Good idea for a thread, OP. My guess is it won't last long though.
But in case it does, pic related includes my initial recommendations.

Where were you when apple was kill?

Sitting here not using Apple products, like usual.
As much as I love to hate on Applefags, this won't really damage their image nor their $$$ value. In several months, once they come out with a new iPhone, their fans will shit their pants and all will be forgotten.

Why is Linus not /g/'s sticky?
- created the Linux kernel
- created the Linux command line
- created tons of Linux operating systems such as Linux Mint, Arch Linux and Gentoo Linux
- build many Linux machines, Linux desktop PCs and LAMP servers that keep the Internet alive
Meanwhile Stallman is "fighting for freedom", or as I've taken to calling it: doing nothing.
You can't even compile the kernel without GNU.
If anyone should be up there it's Bill Gates. He became the richest man in the world and is the living American Dream personified.
Richard Stallman among thousands of other things wrote the initial GCC.
Linux kernel can only be built using GCC (or on a very few specific platforms closed source ICC)
Linus BTFO sucking Stallmans compiler cock for 25 years.

Why is Linux so damn frustrating to use?
because its a new concept to you and you're not devoting enough time to understand and learn how it works.
Using it is fine. Messing with it at even subsurface requires better googlefu.
Not trying to shill, but apparently duckduckgo is trying to improve on this over google, since google is so mediocre at finding relevant forum threads.
Works for me.
