Has windows 10 been de-botnetized yet?
>>51872974
It can be de-botnetized but it requires some fuckery. Mostly the security/mandatory update bullshit pisses me off, but it can be disabled with tweaks to registry and services.

>not complaining to the seller
What the fuck are you doing nigger? Great mouse btw, ive had mine for 2 years now and no issues except obvious wear on the cover.
>>51873000
I just emailed amazon and got an instant refund.
Still my favorite mouse. Have had it since 2013, still runs just fine.
It's also the first mouse I've owned that's lasted for over a year. Generally the scroll wheel gives out on most mice, but I barely use it due to my keybindings.
I love the Corsair Scimitar's build quality, but hate the yellow body color, and won't give up the third mouse button that the G600 has.

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...

Hey, how can i customize my terminal so i can put my waifu sitting on it??? like the image
How many of you use it for programming or in general, and how is it? I know its bad, and shit. But I'm thinking of getting a prescription since its really easy to obtain here in the states.
Get 200mg of provigil/nuvigil. It's like adderrall, but smoother and not basically a controlled form of meth.
I thought the big thing in silicon valley for programming was micro-lsd doses these days.

The doctor will kuk you with the good ole "try getting good sleep and studying". Also the queues for the ADHD docs are usually over six months.
Try benzedrex, realize that stims will make you jack off and touch your face and go back to coffee.
If it was possible for your consciousness to keep existing on a computer doing only whatever you do on your computer forever, would you exchange your physical body for it?
I'm not talking about Matrix-level stuff. You would just see and listen to everything like you do now with your monitor.
Would I have a usb powered penis?
I would give my life to live forever, after living a long while first.

Fuck that! I want to die! Immortality is very over rated.
1st year Electrical Engineering student looking to master basic circuit analysis. I have pSpice installed, looking for other software that will help me get a better understanding
>>51871403
Drag and drop simulation programs for doing your homework aren't going to help you understand basic circuit analysis the same way testbenches, practical lab experience and in-class learning will. Can't say I'm surprised though, if you're having so much trouble with babby's first circuits class, just drop out now and save your parents the money.
>>51871403
If you want to get an intuitive feel for EM wave propagation, look at FEM analysis like HFSS or FDTD like OpenEMS (if on Linux). It can be very eye opening to learn from a more 3-D perspective over time.

where did I say that, lol kill yourself
Where will you go when Windows 7 support ends?
>>51871017
I'll be using GNU/Linux full time hopefully sometime in 2016.
Honestly, Arch Linux
By the time windows 7 support drops I won't need photoshop anymore

How the ever loving fuck did MICROSOFT of all companies win the tablet wars?
Seriously, what the shit happened?
>>51870230
>monopolsoft
there was a tablet war?
people use those things?
and obviously it would be because you can run windows on a windows tablet
They used an x86 CPU and a micro sd slot. Those things alone made the surface pro a winner against the iphone 6 mega s+
Anyone has this mouse?
I've had it for two+ years and now i'ts incredibly jittery and stutters when moving the cursor, basically unusuable.
I tried rubbing the sensor with isopropyl alcohol (just the plastic outside), then I opened it and cleared out dust and whatnot, didn't help.
I tried changing the polling rate.. and I think it did but didn'thelp either.
Anyone has this?
I also have a razer deathadder and zowie ec2 that are perfectly fine.

Why exactly do you all hate clockboy so much? He is just a kid and he got carried away. You would have done the same thing if you had been as smart as he is at his age.

He's brown and got arrested. That means he's guilty.

I would add "usb"
That's actually a Pen Drive.
>>51869197
Assuming that's a flash drive (to be honest, it could be literally any USB peripheral), then the only sensible name is "flash drive", or I guess in its fullest form, "USB flash memory drive". Anything else is a normie corruption of the correct term.
Didnt see one.
I'm going to make a video for a tech illiterate person. They probably dont even have vlc player. Whats the safest, most widespread video filetype to use? One that i can expect anyone to be able to play somehow? Quality and size doesnt matter.
