is 120gb SSD enough space or should I spend the extra for 240
>>53484993
If you have the money to get the bigger one, just do it. Nothing is worse than getting a popup saying you can't play x game because there's not enough space for an update.

is this a good SSD?
>>53484993
depends on your needs. If you're not a gamer you should be fine
I have a bit of a headitcher here, /g/. A laptop with no usb ports (all are broken), no cd reader and a Windows install with two accounts. I only have access to the "normal" account, not the admin account.
How can I reinstall Windows on this machine?
>>53484978
Install gentoo
Install via network?
>>53484978
Google 'PXE Boot'.
Use another pc for the admin stuff.

Don't like it, don't download it :^) stop being so entitled.
I don't like installing the JVM so I don't use Java programs. But I don't whine that they didn't write in my preferred language.
>>53485273
What the fuck, JavaScript != Java

you're on /g/. What did you expect
What's the cheapest I could go for building a NAS/Plex server?
Currently running it off my PC, but I don't want to have it on all the time due to power usage concerns.
I just want to get something small and compact that could house 2-4 hard drives and have just enough power for transcoding videos on the fly.
Would NUCs be enough, or would I need to go for a full PC build?
>>53484871
according to plex, you need something that scores higher than 2000 on cpubenchmarks in order to stream 1080p smoothly.
i have an old hp mediasmart server ex485 upgraded to an intel q9550s and it has been working well so far. the only reason i have the server is cuz i got it for 50 bucks. anyway, pretty much any core i series should be more than enough for plex streaming. shitty laptop from 2012 with an i5 or even as low as an i3 should work.
>>53485362
I was considering using an old laptop, but it would accumulate so much dust the system would probably be unusable after a month.
>>53485392
where are you keeping it? before i got my mediasmart server, i was running it off a t420 with no problems. was on 24/7 since 2012 to this past october, when i switched.
Specifically I need a good book for networking. Everything I can get protocols OSI model whatever.
>>53484773
I need a book to learn about Linux from the very core, so I could stop asking dumb questions and solve problems by myself.

This is what I used in school, it was pretty good but verbose.

What's the best VPN? No-log preferably.
I heard NordVPN was a good one, but there seem to be issues with speed.
>>53484710
Private Internet Access. Its really cheap if you buy it for the year (40$ a year). I've been using it for a few years and I like it.

is it fast, and do they have smartDNS?
Is 25 inches too small for a 1440p monitor?
Thinking about getting pic related since it's the best priced 1440p monitor i can find but i'm not sure about the size.
i currently have a 27" 1080p
Too small? No. Bigger is usually fine with higher resolutions, but 25 is an OK size imho
Is 23 in. too big for 1080p?
I recently finished putting my budget build together and im waiting on the monitor. The jump for 1440 i couldnt handle.
>>53485289
no...my 27 inch 1080p is still decent but i do want higher resolution.

What is /g/'s opinion of Computer Information Systems? I'm currently a CS major, but I am having issues in my calculus classes.
Would switching be a mistake?
CIS is, at least at my uni a part of the business school and isn't even close to a real cs degree. They spend alot of time mucking about with js, sql, and even excel.
Switching would be a huge mistake if you at all value having a career you want to wake to in the morning.
>>53485539
But I am about to fail calc for a second time.
You realize IS is basically IT just with other stuff like basic programming and business management thrown in, right? At least that's how it is at my school unless you take the extra programming electives. I'm in it for the networking though because I don't care for programming much. We have to take calc too though, I don't know about you.
It's not for you if you want to program. It's good for Networking and Security if your school offers those subjects in the curriculum.
I don't get why current VR isn't focused on being thin and lightweight.
A fucking phone 10cm away from the face breaks all immersion and looks fucking dumb. Why can't samsung put their bendable OLED displays in to something pic related?
>>53484150
If they could have, they would have.
Because the focus point of your eyes is around 10cm away
>>53484150
They will at some point. The focus at this point is getting VR to work properly at all. Once that's perfected, they can work on making it look prettier.
>That feeling when forced into using Windows because it's the only OS that supports Autodesk and Adobe.
What other software does /g use because of this kind of bs?
I use Elementary OS on my other devices but for my workstation it's Wincuk all the way. Would go full linux if not for the need.
You sound like a teenager who tries really hard to pretend to be a professional.
>Elementary OS
Heh
Cryptolocker.

I live in the EU and I am looking for a site to buy my computer-related shit from that is cheap, and ships across the EU.
Preferably, from countries in the Eurozone. Unless it's Polish.Also, it must have english as an optional language.
Also, no UK sites (pound is expensive)
Halp?
>tfw hardwareversand shut down and is now some other shit.
Um....................... shutup, nerd.
Check Computer Universe, german store. Been buying from Portugal with zero complaints about them.
>tfw your country charges you 15% of item value on items over 50 euros
Ill never get my pc for cheap
Security is a myth. Anything is hackable. Busses, trains, cars, planes etc all run on proprietary software and you're a hypocrite if you use them but tell others not to hse proprietary software to get their work done.
