ITT: tech memes you fell for
Pic related. All it does it make your computer boot faster and your programs start faster.

The faster a car goes the hotter it gets why would you want to keep your computer from going fast

Have you had your morning cola today?
>>52184052
My local McD's sales refills for 60 cents. I just went and got 100 ounces of Coca Cola for $1.20

Hey tech support, how do I unscrew this screw?
put one of those big fat rubber bands in the hole and use a phillips-head screwdriver
if that doesn't work then use a pair of pliers and just grip the sides

looks like tis been stripped
Got a dremel? A file? What you need to do is cut a slot across the top and use a flathead to get it out.

Intended for users of all levels, including absolute beginners.
There are three 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) Go balls deep and overwrite everything with Linux (not recommended)
If you are serious about switching to Linux and if you have Windows dual-booted (recommended for pure newbies),
we recommend you use it exclusively for 2 weeks, and avoid Windows dual booting for that period of time, or it's
likely you will start retreating back to windows instead of getting used to GNU/Linux as your new home and working on
making it feel the way you want it.
>Recommended for beginners:
-Ubuntu MATE
-Debian (For Broadcom devices, use an ISO that includes non-free firmware)
-openSUSE
-LinuxMint (Cinnamon)

Where the hell do PTP/BTN get off not doing anything for Christmas. Scrooge bastards.
Install software:
Drag some icon in to the applications folder.
Unistall software:
Drag the icon from the applications folder in to the trash.
I know that every Linux distro wants to be a special snowflake, but could freetards really not come up with some universal binary that works like this on the Linux kernel in case the application's not in your repos?
This and many other things are the reasons why there never will be a year of the Linux desktop.
Install for a few package managers
apt-get install (package)
pacman -S (package)
yum install (package)
uninstall for a few package managers
apt-get purge (package)
pacman -R (package)
yum remove (package)
I don't see what's so hard about this.
>>52181655
>in case the application's not in your repos?
Reading is hard.
Inb4 I use Aur and don't care. Most people don't use Arch.
>>52181676
Most package managers have a simple repo add option. If this is too hard then you may be retarded.
Would this be allowed on Windows or OSX?

If zen is coming out at the end of this year or early next year, will it be able to compete with Intel's single thread performance?
Will AMD have to resort to more cores to compete?
Dual core Pentium level processors?
Tri core cheaper than i3?
Quad core slightly more expensive than i3?
Hex core i5 competitor?
Octa core i7 competitor?
What are you expecting from zen /g/, will you buy one?
How about the APUs? What sort of proving can we expect?
Maybe the Pentium competitors will be budget APUs?
Maybe a tri core APU at i3 prices? Or skip the tri core and go for a quad core APU at i5 prices.
How will they decide which processors get hyperthreading? How much extra will they charge for it?
>>52180454
This confuses me
>>52180463
Shut the fuck up, retarded mac fag.
>>>/fa/
Zen is supposedly coming at the end of this year and Zen APUs come sometime in early 2017.
The current generation bulldozer chips are actually pretty competitive with Intel's lower end chips, i5 and above there's nothing to compete there. Zen is supposed to be a 40% improvement over excavator so we'll hopefully see something more in line with sandy bridge. At that level Intel's high end would still be a little better but the situation would be much better overall. They could at least compete on price with performance like that.

Does win10 Pro really have the same privacy settings as Enterprise (as in, disable all the spyware) or am I getting trolled by shills on tech sites?
I decided to use VirtualBox and use Linux for the first time. Should I go with Ubuntu or Mint? Also is there limits on what you can do once the OS is setup and compete?
Considering getting this over the g502 meme. Anyone here that would recommend the Rival 100? Also, is the Rival 300 any different to the old Rival?
For CSGO and other /normie/ shit mostly.

I WANT A RAZER MAMBA THAT HAS COLORS BECAUSE IT LOOKS ALSO
ALSO I WANT THE MOUSE PAD THAT COSTS 50 BUCKS AND HAS RGB LIGHTS
god i hate myself.
>>52178579
I'm still on my Sensei and it's working great still.
And they just updated the Steelseries Engine 3 to include support for it, so now you can rice it to all hell with lights and logos with the latest software if you're into that shit.
Just got a rival 100 its OK but my main complaint would be the dpi slider jumps from 1000 > 2000 > 4000

How do these women even function?
I can guarantee you this is the worst thing that has ever happened in her sheltered life.
>>52178466
She sold her son for meth though.
But yes, she's harassing people who are far more relevant to FreeBSD than her, like people who actually maintain ports instead of contributing one line fixes to an installer which hasn't been used in like 5 years.
>>52178493
She would have contributed more if the environment wasnt so toxic, shitlord.

Which is the bigger placebo/meme? SSDs or Mechanical keyboards?
ssd vs mechanical keyboards vs hi-fi sound shit

Neither are placebo although SSDs are arguably more useful.

Alright /g/, can I get a genuine, unbiased list of the pros and cons of Windows 10?
I'm not big on privacy because most of what I use is what you'd consider a botnet, so just give me a list of pros and cons without going full privacyfag on me.
>>52175703
Depending on uses, it's fine.
Biggest complaint is Edge. It kind of works, but when a script breaks, the browser tends to just close. Not just the tab, but the whole process stack.
I like the idea of Azure AD integration out of the box though.
Really up to you I suppose.

It's absolute fucking shit, the UI is unresponsive as fuck, and I can't even do anything without it freezing for like 20 seconds

Sounds like a hardware problem.
Another case of the software being willing but the hardware being week, eh?
