So my G400 is dying for a 5rd time (It disconnects and connects all the time) and I'm fucking tired of cutting and soldering the cable and I'm looking for a replacement. Can you guys recommend me some good mouses under 40$ ? It can be used.
Call logitech and call them fags, they'll ship you a new mouse free of charge. Fag.

Alright, can somebody tell me what the actual benefit of Linux is? I see it getting its cock sucked all the time around here and as a lifelong Windows user I don't really get why I should bother going through the hassle of changing my OS. What is the big deal? Or is it just anti-Windows memeing?
If you're fine with windows, no reason to switch.
>>52035825
It's the meme-ux os
>>52035825
I'll tell you straight and direct. The reason why people use Linux as their operating system is because it's free, and everything you can download on it is free also. So it's free and it's also 'open-source', which means that nobody owns it and you can customise any single thing on the operating system and re-release it without any legal trouble.
So the only reason is that it's free and it's open-source. But, of course, Linux distros are universally ugly, difficult to navigate for the average user and also hugely limiting in what can be done for the average user. One of the most popular Linux applications is WINE, a program which enables the user to run Windows applications.
So a lot of Linux users are that way because they can't or don't want to pay for Windows. Windows is the much better OS if you can afford a copy.

What was the most expensive piece of technology you bought this year? Was it worth it?
Do guns count
Gigabyte P55W for $800. Pretty worth it.
>>52035640
"160$" Ducky Shine 4 mechanical keyboard that ended up being 300$ Canadian with currency conversion, shipping and customs clearance.
In my opinion yes
Gonna buy an mp3 player as I recently purchased a pair of HD 598's. I've heard from a friend that pic related is the way to go. Consensus? Suggestions on other mp3 players?
Why settle for less than the best?
I know /g/ hates apple, but this really is the goat mp3 player. Sucks how much you gotta pay for a used one now though.
>>52035717
This.
I still have one I bought in 2011 and it works flawlessly.

Sapphire Radeon R9 290X 8Gb Vapor-X - 330$
MSI Radeon R9 290X 4Gb Lightning - 260$
What should I choose, /g/? Sapphire card is cool and quite also have more [spoiler]useless[/spoiler] VRAM, but its price is extremely impractical.
>>52035330
Between these two, probably the Lightning unless you're planning to crossfire two of them (which is when the 8GB VRAM might actually come in handy). Make sure it actually is the 8GB Vapor-X if you're doing that though.
>>52035330
970 cost less and is more powerful after overclocked, all while consuming half the power.
>>52035330
Make sure your PSU has enough power connectors for the Lightning.
That's about it, really.
I've read entire programming books but have hardly touched my keyboard in the process. Can you /g/entlemen give me a good challenge to finally get my hands dirty?
Install gentoo
>>52035328
read them again, but when the author says something along the lines of 'make sure you do the examples as you read this book', take that advice

What does /g/ think of of the language Lua?
>>52035242
the creator is a lunatic
It's a good scripting language, easy to learn. Better than getting cancer and many other things.
Tables are weird.
luajit is possibly the best designed jit ever
Is there a significant difference between HDMI and VGA? If I switched my computer over to HDMI would I have better clarity?
I have a gtx670 that has an HDMI input but I cant get it to work on my monitor. I can hear it detecting the input but my monitpr remains black. Any ideas why?
>>52035117
I googled it and websites seem to differ. Some guys say it makes no difference, some say it makes a little difference, and some say it makes a big difference. Wtf?
>>52035117
Its also worth noting that ive tried the hdmi cable on my tv and it worked fine, so it must be my monitor right? Monitors dont need drivers right?
>>52035117
just use dvi fgt
A+ exam is $194 for only 801 or 802. $388 for both.
Should I just get the bundle that is only $100 more and comes with a retest along with some online course?
$600 for A+ cert FML!

>Hey /g/ should I buy scam1, scam2, or the scam_family_pack?
Great free A+ training videos http://www.professormesser.com/
Also you should probably get both at once if you want to take both, it's cheaper
>>52035135
Professormesser is amazing, use him.
I'm looking to replace my current speakers, it's just a 2.1 computer set. Since I'm not into mixing, just for music (thrash metal, hard rock) and movies. Will studio monitors be too much for what I want? or should I get some bookshelf speakers? I read that that I need an amp for those
pic related, are this ok for my needs?
LSR305 are the best for the price. No amps to deal with, neutral so they'll sound good with everything, and they go down to 43Hz.
amazon still has 20% off musical stuff.

DAT HISS THO
I'm looking for a more gaming centered set of desktop speakers. I push them fairly hard sometimes and like a bit of boom. Been looking since I have a 100$ amazon gift card. Looking at
-Corsair Gaming Audio Series SP2500
-Genius SW-G2.1 2000 2.1 Channel 45 Watts RMS Gaming Woofer Speaker System (There is a 5.1 system, but I'm not sure if that is really worth it since I won't be puting them behind me.)
-Logitech Z623
-Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 THX
I'm looking for something around 100 but I'm willing to add more on top of this gift card.
