Life is truly suffering.
>>52327440
Have you tried using Wine or PlayonLinux?
>>52327440
So wait you can't because your mentally retarded or you can't because you have a pre concieved view of how linux works and your too dumb too grab a computer and get a hands on aproach pajeet?
>>52327440
Civil engineer here, I know your suffering. We also have autocad and solidworks. But you can always dual boot. I dual boot except when i need those exact programs.
>Linux Mint next version confirmed to ship with SystemD on release
Well, it was nice having a free, working operating system with an actual future for a while. But I guess all good things must come to an end.
Why do people hate systemd?
>>52327521
No idea. My OS uses it extensively, and I find no problems...
Please explain haters?

Because it goes against the unix philosophy of "do ONE thing and do that one thing well". But at the same time those people use emacs

Is mini ITX good for servers? I'm building a home media / plex server, and I really fucking love how the Fractal Node looks. Plus, it has a lot of expansion bays for HDDs.
Do you think 4k bluray will succeed?
Yes. 4k too large and most peoples internet is shitty easier to use 4k blu-rays.
Aren't 90% of the lined up titles shot with digital at 1080p or have all their CGI effects mastered at 1080p, meaning the 4k Blurays will be upscales?
>>52325524
Well I can confirm the hobbit films were shot at 4k 60fps, so I can only assume that'll be standard about now

It says there they are "stopping" with with anti-theft by the Jan 2015. Does that mean they won't be inserting that shit into new CPUs or they just don't offer that service to general public?

Not sure what private trackers are all about?
The mission of /ptg/ is to promote the highest possible standards of tracker service by providing members with opportunities for professional development, by recognizing technical competence through examinations and by advancing the interests of its members.
Check out the wiki and update it yourself if you want more instead of complaining like a fucking faggot. https://wiki.installgentoo.com/index.php/Private_trackers

10th for shitposting
Why is BTN the only non shit TV tracker? MTV seems like it's on it's way to being ok but it's basically dead. Compared to Music, Movies, EBooks, and even Games, there's hardly any selection for non-curry TV trackers.

This thread is meant to combine all those threads into one
/g/, I was tasked earlier today to dispose of a hard drive, but I'm not sure if I did a good enough of a job.
I work at a hospital as an IT assistant and my boss gave me a hard drive (a maxtor one, 40gb very old) that we use on the servers but he only gave me 1 hour and a half to deal with it (seems like this was going along with a batch)
So without much time the best I could gather was getting a drill and a drill bit but by the time I managed to even get the stuff I ran out of time. The best I could do was drill a hole completely (you could see through the other side) on pic related position of the HDD
It seems the hdd had patient information that was very private and the hospital doesn't want people snooping in. It's nothing too serious, but it's definitely a concern for patients I suppose.
Question is though, would a hole on pic related's position be enough? I wanted to do at least 2 more holes in it to make sure I got through the platter, but didn't have enough time.
>>52322796
do you not have a fucking killdisk app or something to write over the data to make it irrecoverable
>>52322890
First thing I thought was DBAN it, but I didn't have the time to do it if I wanted to dispose of the thing
If I had more time I'd have wiped it first and then drilled through it
You could have erased the data when the hdd was working using a boot program. All you needed was a bootable drive and a computer. The program basically writes random bits over and over to hide magnetic footprints.

So I know most of you probably depend on lossy codecs to fit most of your library on your mobile devices, which one do you prefer? Me, being autistic, I prefer l Ogg Vorbis (libVorbis 1.3.5) at q10 (500kbps).
Opus
AAC 320Kbps does it beautifully for me. Definitely higher quality than 320K MP3 imo.
Slightly unrelated: HE-AAC (v2) is truly amazing. It gives the equivalent to around 192k-256k MP3 at only 64kbps. Insane quality for the bitrate.
256k variable AAC (nero)
