Is pic related still safe to use?
What makes you so certain it ever was?
>>53749424
7.1a is.
>>53749424
The security auditing you fucktard.
>>53749424
yes, 7.1a is fine.
veracrypt has some more enhancements, but nothing critical.
Why is Manjaro the only logo in Screenfetch that looks remotely decent?
You'd think they could make the Ubuntu logo look a bit better at least, it's the most popular Linux version.
>>53749215
bumping for truth
>>53749215
Manjaro is easy to install?
>>53749215
just make a better one and create a pull request, pleb
>Software asks if you want to install a browser extension
I use userscripts wherever I can. Every extension spies on you nowadays
>>53749175
Its not like 90% of free software does this anyway.

Such a shame. Too bad I had to uninstall uBlock Origin because of it.
Honest advice. Just do it..

Microsoft is not even hiding anymore about for being a botnet. If you still have Windows partition, just get rid of it already.

Good goyim!

I got myself a google cardboard. Apart from using it to start a fire, what are some fun things I can do with it?
Throw it really hard
its pretty gud for POV porn
I want to make one, but because I live in third world country the lenses are pretty tough to come by any ideas?
Why the fuck is every phone a fucking tablet? The only way to get a decent sized phone is to buy low end trash. What the fuck?
>>53748391
Don't worry, everybody will copy Apple soon and we're get 4-4'5 flagships soon. Or just skip the waiting and get a SE.

>having an usage limit
Top lol.
How are the headphones on the Occulus Rift?
What are the tech-details?
Whats the equivalent to them?
They look so cheap and low-fi,
but I can't find exact descriptions about model and similar phones anywhere.
>>53748145
someone here on /g/ said they're using "audiophile quality" headphones.
that's all I ever heard about them.
Don't know about the headphones, but the mic sounds very good.
https://soundcloud.com/kirkhamilton/rift-mic-test
>>53748197
yeah,
the DEV said its "audiophile quality" as well.
But I don't believe it.
There haven't been released any specs about the phones (at least none I could find).
Just LOOK at them.
I bet they sound like some cheap headphones you get on a plane or a museum.
What's the truth about malware in Linux? Is Linux more immune to typical viruses - which these days take the form of mass-spammed crapware and rogue antiviruses targeting grandmothers and tech illiterates? Aside from slightly better fundamental security of a Unix filesystem, theres nothing in Linux that makes it inherently virus-resistant. A virus is just a program like any other. The best hope you have is that kernel code is scrutinized with a fine-toothed comb several thousands of times per day. Linux malware is more likely to have specific targets than the low hanging fruit scams targeting Windows.
What says /g/ on the "Linux doesn't get viruses because nobody uses Linux" meme?
Linux doesn't get viruses not because it can't but because there's an intelligence requirement for using it and if you're making a virus you're not going after people smart enough to avoid it
>install this piece of shit program by'curl my.shittyprogram.com/install.sh | sh'
>>53747868
>What says /g/ on the "Linux doesn't get viruses because nobody uses Linux" meme?
Linux has less than 2% of the desktop marketshare. Apple Mac has about 6-7% and gets very few viruses despite vulnerabilities headlining here every day.
If any part of Linux is at risk it's the poorly-supported embedded versions, which are legion.
hey /g/,
Installed arch linux with i3 yesterday.
I have noticed a few problems and I would kindly ask for your help.
First things first, I downloaded skype with the optional depedencies, the audios don't work
Secondly, In order to log in to the internet I have to spam Dhcpcd, is this supposed to happen?
Thirdly, I also installed screenfetch with pacman, it doesn't work.
What should I do?
>>53747855
1. did you install alsa or pulseaudio?
2. systemctl enable dhcpcd@[network_device]
3. what does it say?
>>53747855
>/g/ is not your tech support
The arch forums have tons of shit there, search harder anon. If not, just try asking there. Just not here
Try changing your default sound card in alsa if you have multiple ones
>>53747894
1.) Yup
2.) Yup
3.) Created symlink yadda yadda
What font does /g/ use for each?:
>System OS font
>IRC
>Ebook reading
>Instant messaging

>4chan X font (yes, you can do custom fonts)
>writing physical letters (Office documents)
>Wildcard: what's your favorite font at the moment?

terminus on my phone and on my computer. it usually uses terminus wherever it can.
I've started getting a S.M.A.R.T. failure warning when I boot up. It's a 500GB drive with only about 225GB used. I have a new 1TB drive and I'm wondering what the best and easiest way to copy everything over is. So that I can give the new drive the same label (D:) and still hopefully run programs without having to change installation paths or whatever.
Is copy and paste fine? Is there a program for something like this?
Google clonezilla
I think thats what u want to use
>>53747763
I use this tool religiously:
http://www.easeus.com/partition-manager/epm-free.html
I work in IT and I've had to use this countless times. I linked the free version, but there is a paid version too if you're interested.
>>53747763
>put in new drive. it'll show up as E: or something
>copy everything from old drive to new drive
>remove old drive
>use the Disk Management thing (should be under Computer Management in the control panel part of the start menu, not sure though since I'm not on Windows) to change the new drive's letter to D:
done
How can we stop the ransomware plague?
Mandatory IQ (>100) checks at ISP registration
You can always just not dl it and not let it run amok pn your pc.

Isn't this basically what android does?
All apps not from the GOOGLE(TM) PLAYSTORE(TM) are blocked unless you enable unknown sources.
At least they're giving you the option, unlike apple, who literally makes you pay for a developer license in order to run sideloaded apps on your iOS devices.
>>53747672
so it runs android after all hahahah
