RE: Mechanical keyboard. Years of hearing it was the best, finally bought a Das Keyboard and my wrist pain disappeared. Not even kidding, not even a single tinge of pain.
How are you S6 and Note 5 jabronis doing without expandable storage? Especially you cucks with 32gb.
It's good thanks for asking

I was having a (slightly heated) exchange with my friend and he wrote me this:
>Unless somebody invents 50 petabyte SSD's that can be sold to average users for a hundred bucks, bitcoin is never going to a be feasible replacement for national currency. Bitcoin isn't going to happen. The blockchain size problem will never allow for it. Get over it and grow up.
Was he right, /g/?
You definitely need maturing.
Source:Thread.
It's not ever going to replace the national currency, but once it stops being so volatile it will still be a very good, semi-anonymous substitute.
Is this the best budget smartphone available right now?
>2 GB RAM
>Huge 5.7 inch screen
>quad core 1.4 GHZ
>Expandable storage
>4g LTE
>$150 / $130
>budget smart phone
jesus christ why even bother?
>>52500962
Maybe some people just need a phone and a status symbol. I have used high android and iphones and they always perform pretty much the same as the $100-$150 phones. Its all in marketing and making people think that if they have a $700 they have the best available and are better than their peers.
>>52500943
the lg g2 is better than that at the same price
My Logitech 5.1 setup of about 4 years is slowly dying and i've got a pair of Sennheiser 598's coming in the mail in a few weeks.
i'm undecided on whether to buy a smaller 2.1 setup for movies and music or just go balls deep and go for the 5.1 despite having headphones around this time.

Good evening /g/entlemen,
I currently have a Sapphire R9 290 Tri-X OC vidya card and my friend, who is moving abroad, has given me his R9 290X Vapor-X pic related) as a going away present.
I intend to run both cards in Crossfire. My questions are as follows:
1.) Am I right in thinking that the more powerful card should go in the top PCI-E (16x) slot? This is the card I will want to default to in games that don't support XFire.
2.) I know that in XFire you can only go as fast as the weaker card, but is there any way of eeking out a bit more performance, e.g. by having the 290 as the 'main' card or by OCing it to the same core and memory clocks as the 290X?
3.) Can I simply swap out the cards or should I uninstall the drivers first, install the 290X in the top slot, reinstall drivers, then install the 290...? As far as I'm aware, all R9 200 series cards use the same driver anyway, but I want my system to know the new card is more powerful if it'll make a difference.
Thanks in advance!
>>52500713
The Vapor-X also has a backplate, in case that's an issue with heat dispersal.
>>52500713
Just wait for the new cards too come out in 3 months, what you have is fine for now.
>Currently getting 100 fps at 1440p in Dragons Dogma on a R9 390 and R9 290 is not much slower than what I have.
>>52500758
That's no doubt true, man, but he's already given me the card and I'd rather use it than try and sell it. Also, good times ahead for mutli-GPU setups on VR ;)

hey /g/,
I need to set up a simple forum/BB for the game I'm developing. there's really no need for anything fancy (like pic related), I just want something in which you can have boards, threads, et cetera

MyBB.

on Linux
We are willing to accept posts from HURD and BSD users. We do NOT consider any Apple OS to be a BSD, even though it is based on it. That said, this thread is primarily for OS running on Linux kernel, although we accept those who doesn't use GNU coreutils or glibc (busybox/musl libc, such as Alpine Linux).
Intended for users of all levels, including absolute beginners.
There are four ways to try Linux, you can:
1) Install a Linux OS on a VM (Virtual Machine/VirtualBox) for "safety purposes"
2) Use the Live ISO directly without installing anything, that way, you can get a "full Linux experience".
3) Dual-boot Linux with Windows/Mac (recommended if you want to learn more about Linux)
4) Go balls deep and overwrite everything with Linux (not recommended)
Before asking, please find the answers to your questions in resources.
Please be civil, notice the "Friendly" in every Friendly Linux Thread.
Understand that much of your software from Windows will be unavailable, although maybe wine can make up for it.

Just started using CentOS because I want to try out rpm and yum.
Any advice for a guy used to Debian?
Is there something more recent? Improve this?

Can you recommend any free tool that can erase permanently and automatically all files in the recyclebin? I just ran a scan on recyclebin with recuva and I was surprised that files I deleted months ago are still restorable. Also a free tool to create disk dumps of any format if you know any, possible a reliable one, I need for backups.
>>52500704
You could try that BlechBin listed but Im not sure
>>52500269
Literally a list of rice apps.

Forced to use emacs in my CS class because my professor is one of the original devs
>>52500190
I like your posts, prajeet.
>>52500190
If you are asking your professor to debug your code then you are wasting both his time and your time. The job of a professor is to explain and clarify concepts, not do monkey work. At my university the professor isn't even involved in any of the programming assignments. If you come to offer hours and ask for help, he will just laugh at you.
a friend of me has an hdd with some cp and lots of important files. what steps can he take to ensure cp is fully deleted&cant be restored while the rest of the files wont be effected

Throw the whole damn thing away. You're going to risk 10 years in jail to rescue some files?
