So /g/, what tech related entities are currently on suicide watch and why? Biggest one seems to be NVIDIA and its HBM2less Pascal cards.
Yahoo
ARM cpu architecture
>nvidia on suicide watch
these things always go in cycles man..
Anyways Twitter is def on suicide watch.
How the fuck do they keep blowing their money ?
Just look at their expenses/revenue over to years, for such a simple ass platform they manage to spend way more money then they bring in.
Not to mention alienating conservative users and other people, and that new trust and safety council too.
Like how the fuck do you mismanage the company so badly ?

>Chrome is botnet city, and even once you find a good fork like Iridium the extensions are incredibly limited so you're not allowed any integration with your external download manager
>Been going through hipster browsers in an attempt to find something good, and they've all sucked so far (pic related)
Is there no such thing as a good browser anymore?
yandex is cool, shame there's no linux version yet
Are the extensions really limited on Iridium? I thought all Chrome extensions worked.
>>53456550
iridium is just german botnet, instead of google botnet

What does /g/ thinks about this show?
>>53456028
Gay
>>53456028
I like it, I think it's well written, and the cliff hanger at the end was pretty good. I was completely captivated by the show, and I can't wait for season 2. If you haven't seen it, I really recommend watching it. My tech illiterate friends even liked it, so it's enjoyable if you know tech stuff and if you don't. Probably my favorite show on television too.
>>53456028
how about you stop shilling it?

Speak for yourself.
Bismuth was a good investment in that regard

what can a normie with little coding knowledge use a Raspberry Pi for?
>>53455515
Mount a hard drive to it, open some ports on your home router and use it as remote file storage
Like a ghetto own cloud
>>53455515
Use it as a buttplug.
>>53455630
looks a little too small to handle big package installs
So /g/, I've been thinking of getting a new gaming laptop for college. I have a budget of $1000 and would like some suggestions form you. Why am I coming to you guys instead of /r/ of /wsr/? Because you faggots are the fucking tech board and are are therefore more qualified.

WHY THE LITERAL FUCK DID THEY DO THAT? THAT'S LIKE ASKING WHY THE PHONE DIDN'T COME WITH WIFI SETTINGS AND YOU HAVE TO DOWNLOAD THEM SEPARATELY FROM GOOGLE PLAY!
I can understand a a "Marketing strategy" for this. But at the same time, I ask this because, WHY JUST LG?
I hate LG more now. I thought I hated them pretty bad, but I think at this point I like the Windows phone more.
Well, I will remember this post when I buy my next TV for sure.

He's an idiot.
I posted this in /flt/, but I got no straight answers due to faggots asking questions about what distro to use, memeposting and edgy archfags arguing over nonsense.
So, I wanted to play some games that require 3d rendering and because I installed Xorg and everything manually, I thought that maybe I had to install OpenGL manually (even on Windows, if I remember correctly, you have to manually install DirectX). So, i tried to check first if i had it and ran$ apropos opengl
and came up with nothing. I also checked the repos and found no package that might be it. I tried running some games anyway and they were working fine.
Do most most distros come with OpenGL preinstalled, or is it somehow included with Xorg? Or did my package manager automatically install it as a dependency to something and why can't I find it? Is it just some invisible library? Shouldn't there be documentation for it?
I'm interested in what it is exactly and how do I find it in my system. If it's a driver, what's it's name, is it running like some binary kernel module in the background, should I see it with htop? How do I know it's there (besides stuff dependent on it working, thus proving it's presence).
Btw, how is it on Windows, does OpenGL come preinstalled? I played some games that require 3d rendering on windows without installing DirectX, so there must be another rendering engine present, right?
>>53454809
you have to install the current driver and its a horrible process on linux
>>53454853
but games are running just fine
>>53454853
Also can you name this driver, please?
How do Apple get away with charging $600 for an iPhone 6 when you can get an Android phone with the same or better specs for $200-250?
>>53454460
the software and the brand, you fucking moron
Because a person's frustration with a device is determined by its usability (which evidently has only a slightly correlated relationship with specs).
Because it doesn't matter when you're getting an upgrade
Daily reminder that spotify still uses adobe flash. Do they not want me to use their shitty service?
>>53454250
if you're smart enough to know why flash is bad you're smart enough to pirate your music. spend the money on a VPN.
