How do you even remember that shit? I have no idea what CPU I had ten years ago
Sup /g/
Is there any way you can mask that ticking sound your computer makes when its thinking/loading?
I dont really have a problem with it when I'm awake, but when im trying to sleep it makes that same ticking noise (i think from the harddrive?) every few seconds and drives me crazy. I would much rather keep my comp on all night then turn it off but I cant sleep with the ticking sounds. Does anyone know a way to make your comp not make those sounds when your not using it? When my comp was new it never used to make it when it was idle but now even after reformatting it still does it constantly. Not even sure why.
Is there anything can be done about this?
In advanced power options there should be a setting for the amount of idle time before your HDD powers off.

Why not turn it off? To save it from stress of turning it on? That's retarded
You could replace your HDD with a completely silent SSD. If you need the additional storage then keep the HDD as a secondary drive, it won't be being accessed so often so power save settings will shut it down regularly.
That is elementary os, yes.

It's for poor wannabe-macfags, by poor wannabe-macfags.
Good for fags that want to move to Linux and still keep a pretty decent UI experience?
no time for love
This cold is getting to be a bit much
dragons dogma is really fun
What Linux Distro do you use and why?
I'll start:
>Lubuntu
>Because it just werks
Ubuntu Mate with Openbox
AMD driver just works. Steam just works. Heaps of third party packages and game like OpenTTD OpenXcom. Find the answer to literally any problem you have on Google.
Fedora.
Because it's easier to use than Ubuntu (no shitty Unity), it has just as much software that's easily available, and it doesn't try to sell you shit constantly and report your actions to Ubuntu HQ for data analysis.
Gentoo
Because I can configure it the way I see fit.
dump what you got
>studying computer science because I have no real interests and it's the default "good" degree of my time that will soon be over saturated because of the aforementioned
>whatever, I will be that person, I almost am anyway
>unexpectedly experience this amazing creative satisfaction in programming
>create personalized programs to improve quality of e-life, learn C in my spare time
>slowly lose that spark
>gradually find the entire practice arbitrary and tedious
>midway through Junior year, everything is nothing but rote memorization now
Is there any hope? I don't want to be a code monkey. How do I learn to love programming again?
It doesn't get any better.

Placebos work for a reason anon
Kansha
Learn haskell. It's good for autists like you.
I want something semi cheap thats capable of running Netflix and playing videos from a HDD, are there any good pre-built options or is my best bet still building a cheap as fuck PC with XBMC on it?
Nexus player dipshit. Kodi is on the fucking playstore. Jesus fuck your retarded. Its 50 fuckin bucks at best buy. Your welcome.
>>52504492
What no fucking thank you?

Maximum autism lol
>xterm is too bloated
>urxvt still less bloated but fucks up on ctrl-left/right, and uses alt instead, which fucks up with ghci or mpsyt
>st doesn't have scrollback with mousewheel
how do I make the pain go away /g/?
just use xfce4-terminal
>>52504450
smells of bloat even though I know nothing about it
>>52504457
suit yourself, autismo
>get NVIDIA graphics card
>always used AMD before
>okay this is cool, ASUS model, looks nice.
>Use DDU to remove all traces of AMD drivers
>Install latest NVIDIA driver
>okay, lets record some footage with ShadowPlay
>turn on shadowplay
>launch game
>doesn't work
>okay, lets tweak some settings
>doesn't work
>lets try an older driver
>doesn't work
>lets try an older GeForce Experience
>doesn't work
>lets try optimising games
>doesn't work
>Okay, I'll use the drivers from the CD
>drivers too old
>okay, lets use drivers from ASUS' site, they have 353 WHQL drivers
>doesn't work
>update drivers directly through GE
>Geforce Experience encountered a problem and has to close
Back to AMD I go.
How can any of you fucks recommend NoVidya trash!?
>>52504440
don't install nvidia shitsperience you faggot
>>52504543
You literally have to in order to get the latest drivers.

can raspberry pi play anime
>>52504428
no. it can only play american cartoons
>>52504428
only Sentai, sorry.
10bit videos? Yes, but they will look crap as the colors are all messed up.
Is this actually useful ?
only on shit operating systems
Only if you still live in the year 2008 and don't own an SSD
>>52504318
> is it worth it to use a 3rd party defrag like Perfect Disk
ONLY if your boot drive isn't an SSD, outside of that it's only good for a slight boost in load times for apps/games stored on a non-ssd
Outside of that, I wouldn't even bother.
But if you're still using a mechanical drive to boot from, it can make quite a noticeable difference.
I've come to find the only defrag package that truly makes a difference is one that can do a boot time defrag for files that can't be defragged while the system is running, which the windows inboard defrag cannot do.
It also helps to use CCleaner to get rid of all the trash BEFORE you defrag.
So this is the power of Apple's innovative design... Whoa

It's called window resizing. Cool yeah?
If you go to the corner you can adjust two dimensions at the time time.
