How do I decide which monitor to buy?
Seeing them in store conditions is like deciding on computer chair after 5min of sitting
Can you recommend any non-shill legit reviewers?
>>53862503
get pic related and shut the fuck up
>>53862503
monitors aren't rocket science
>>53862503
But a 27" Asus rog 1440p 144hz ips that's all you have to do

Why is this allowed?
>>53862494
That's not your only problem
>>53862508
How so?
Allowed?... You fucking installed it.

Don't know if you're ironic or an applefag, but it's good for teaching kids to program.

Not really. The way linuxfags are, they're going to rip and tear because Ubuntu. "Valve no like my fave distro. Me like Redhat. Fuck Valve." *Flings poop at wall*

Why?
why are batteries so shit? is there some sort of physical limitation that makes it impossible to have more efficient batteries? can't we use other technologies? will there ever be some technological breakthrough that'll allow our phone/laptop/car batteries to last 10 times longer? or at least charge much faster?
why isn't the free market taking care of this??
>>53862171
Do you have an idea or do you just want to complain? Go fuck yourself.
Probably because people insist on MOAR CORES BIGGER SCREENS and what not on portable devices.

What did this professor mean by this?
Is the LaTex meme done with now when it's 2016 and the latest version of Word is good?
I see no reason to use LaTex whatsoever. Isn't it just these days for pretentious neckbeards who love to be smug about anything that has a poor UI and a learning curve?
Use Libreoffice.
I'm writing a paper and the journal I'm submitting it to only accepts LaTeX

I have an opportunity to get a good deal on the Surface Pro 4 (i5 - 8gb RAM version) for work.

I like the hardware, but I'm really concerned with windows 10 botnet shit. I've lurked around here and some forums and gotten mixed answers if you can turn all the shit off or not. Looking at what are obvious M$ shills here is a bit alarming.
>Can I turn EVERY spyware off? Or block it somehow?
>Can I turn off Auto updates?
>Does working in a VM protect me?
>Would Veracrypting the disk save me from their NSA backdoor?
>Can I pirate a version w/o spyware and reinstall? Either way I'd want to reformat with enterprise edition, not home that it comes with. I'm told win7 & 8 doesn't work on it.
>>53862100
All questions are no, except last, which would be a clean Win7 SP1 with disabled updates, but you'd lose your Office and other good shit most likely. Basically, Microsoft spies on you, and there's no way around it.
>>53862100
Oh, 7 won't work? No, there is no non-spyware Win10. Take it or leave it.
>>53862138
That's depressing. I'll have to find another computer then sadly. It was quite an enjoyable piece of hardware to use.
>>53862177
7 won't boot at all apparently. 8.1 doesn't have the right drivers for any of the hardware buttons.
Why gentoo?
>>53862041
Source based if that's your cup of tea
Why would anyone go through the trouble of installing it?
>>53862041
It can be almost anything you want.
You could essentially be the most lightweight OS, with tons of programs installed and running, if you use your USE flags correctly.
It's all about tailoring the install to your liking, or needs.
I like it for my old ass IBM Thinkpads.

What's a good entry Linux distro? I found that the work software has Linux support.
As much as I'd like to recommend Trisquel, you should probably pick something like xubuntu or mint to make.it easy on yourself.
>>53862036
Ubuntu MATE
I don't understand this "my computer upgraded to Windows 10 on its own" meme
I'm on Windows 7, I perform windows updates regularly, and it's still Windows 7 right now.

Why /g/? Why do people like this exist?
Is that the feature where you can turn videos into gifs?
Whats wrong with that? I smell an androne
>>53862045
It's basically where you can turn a photo into a gif

Not so sure about that, there was the whole DDoS debacle where they ended up paying the blackmailers thousands of euros just to get attacked even worse.
Which one is better?
Polaris won't get gimped when the next gen comes out.
At release they will offer about the same performance/$. Nvidia cards will be faster in GameWorks games but slightly slower in the other games.
Once the gimping starts the AMD cards will become much better.
Nvidia has been dominating AMD for years now and I'm skeptical that they're going to suddenly fall behind because of async compute or something.
They'll come up with something and we'll see which is better.
