Friendly reminder that buying hardware that is overpowered for your needs is a waste of money.
Main PC:
>Pentium E2160
>nVidia 6200 SE
>4GiB DDR2
It runs Windows 10 flawlessly and plays my entire steam library which is fairly lightweight.
I have more powerful rigs but I'm interested to see how far you /g/entoomen have stretched the abilities of limited hardware.

friendly reminder that your needs are not the same as my needs or anyone else's needs
Because a powerful machine that can run high end/resource eating games at ultra settings with high FPS is just pretty fucking cool.
Plus being able to use two monitors to do lots of different shit is pretty cool too.
>Waste of money
Man if you have the money to spend on such a system without fucking yourself financially, why not?

I use a g4 iMac for my academic stuff. It's so old it can't post on 4chan anymore because it can't handle html5 properly.
I've got a samsung laptop that I can never remember the specs of because I don't care. It was the cheapest one that had positive reviews. It lets me shitpost on /g/ and play movies in HD. Beyond that, can't say I can what's in it.
Let's get a gadget thread going.

Don't lie to me, anon. You've never been to a party before.
Is full formatting a disk unrecoverable?
No, data can still be recovered. If you need your disk to be unrecoverable, use DBAN.

I need to do software development in Windows for the first time in my career (been using OS X and Linux for years). The Windows command line is a complete abortion. Is there any way to make my dev environment more unix-like? Is cygwin still the best offering?
>>53351532
> abortion
maybe you meant abomination
yes cygwin is very good
you can even habe your own Xserver desktop in a Windows with your favourite WM (like mwm, fvwm ...)
Cygwin is pretty good. I don't use it for its shell though because bash is pretty slow. If you need tab completion more like bash-completion, install Clink (http://mridgers.github.io/clink/). Also consider learning Powershell instead of using old-ass cmd/batch. Its very sleek and... powerful
>>53351532
There's co-linux if you actually want Linux on windows. But it's painfully out of date, not to mention that upgrading has been something of a headache (at least for me). If you don't mind this, try it. Otherwise, Cygwin is probably better for you.
Was Steve Jobs just a douchebag who hated everything people liked, such as open systems like the Apple 2 versus closed systems like the Mac?
Lets look at Apples success, The apple 2, then the imac, the ipod, the iphone, the ipad, the macbook pro.
all of these systems besides the apple 2 are closed systems which require jailbreaking to open up.
The jailbreaks are immensely popular for these closed systems, which implies WoZ was right, and people wanted Apple 2 because of its open status.
Steve Jobs was literally a meme, his ideas about closed systems...

Describes me and a bunch of people I know quite aptly, except I would put Gentoo next to Arch.
Started out with Ubuntu 8.10, went through my Arch phase and after years and years of using Linux and becoming a sysadmin, I ended up with Debian on servers and Ubuntu on work machines.
thoughts on icecat? with firefox dying a slow death, and bot/ad-nets as the only other alternatives, i'm looking to jump ship
>inb4 palemoon
tried it, didnt like it. seemed buggy and full of drama on the developer side
>one of the vi firefox interfaces
i use a mouse, sue me
anything else with extensive customizability/addons? i'm gonna miss firefox when it croaks
going to a firefox knockoff because firefox is dying isn't going to help when all those knockoffs are dependent on the original
>>53351344
Pale moon isnt dependent on Firefox anymore

i tried palemoon maybe 5-6 months ago, it was buggy as shit with my addons, especially greasemonkey
