ITT: Fucking dumbass shit you did
>keyboard is super dirty
>wipe it with disinfecting wipe
>kb fucks itself in the ass
>soap probably got into the membrane contacts
What dumb shit have you done?
One more question, /g/. Is this fucking soap gonna leak into my laptop's mobo?

>Is this fucking soap gonna leak into my laptop's mobo?
...yes

fuck
as a young child I was obsessed with taking things apart, I took apart a CRT monitor and played with what was inside.
I should be dead.

You mean tech help fucking faggot. What you do has nothing to do with engineering
You probably have a degree in psychology. Just kill yourself
>>51654800
>being actually that jelly
Been unemployed for a while eh?
Actually I have a degree in Electronics engineering and Telecommunications.
I am not tech help. I have to look after server/network infrastructure and Support Engineer is my official position name I didn't make it up.
What does /g/ use? Currently using Windows Media Player because PC got wiped
>pic unrelated
I use clementine
It's not perfect, but it's good enough
>>51653435
I use MPV because I can do--audio-pitch-correction=no --speed=1.1and listen to more music per unit time. As a bonus it also compensates for only having moderately sized speakers that struggle with very deep bass. I don't listen to music with singing so there is no drawback.
Server: Music Player Daemon (MPD)
Raw CLI client: Music Player Client (MPC)
NCurses CLI client: Music Player Client Plus Plus (ncmpcpp)
Android client app: (MPDroid)
What do you prefer, MPC-HC, the trusted choice of /g/entlemen, or MPV, the next /g/eneration?
Also, why do you prefer one to the other? Anecdotes encouraged actually.
Bomi just werks.
I use mpv because it doesn't ruin picture quality like madvr or mpdn by default with their performance hacks.
It's much faster for the similar settings too.
And I really prefer mpv unofficial gui like baka-mplayer or bomi than mpdn, mpc-hc or potplayer.
You can use vapoursynth with mpv, this is much better than madvr image enhancement.
Unfortunately it's pretty long to configure on windows, still better than avisynth with deprecated ffdshow.
SMPlayer frontend + MPlayer
I don't give enough of a shit to try anything else.
I'm getting a 1TB drive but I don't think I'd fill even a 500 GB one.
>>51653295
1TB of storage is plenty for most people.
>>51653369
yeah I bought a 250gb ssd worrying that I would run out. Never went beyond 200gb.
Thoughts?
>>51653071
why is offshore wind low tier?
>>51653071
What about the bird issue with wind?
Does putting lights on the turbines deter the birds or is this still an issue?

Hey /g/ finished building my PC. Specs are:
I5 6600k
MSI 960 4gb
16gb DDR4
1 TB Western Digital hard drive
Asus Z170 a
Cooler Master hyper 212 evo
Corsair carbide spec 01
Win 10
It's my first build and my main regret is no ssd but overall good system might do some benchmarking once I've reinstalled all my stuff.
>>51652975
>960
Should've gone for the fucking AMD there.
>no SSD
Dear lord.
>960
Lol
>>51653022
Don't listen to this person please
>Should've gone for the fucking AMD there.
This is not helpful, you're just a fanboy
It seems that in 2011-2012 Valve had some ideas about Linux gaming in living room, in 2013 they started making a fuss about it, but then something seems to have gotten their attention and they kept only little to none people/resources/effort to develop SteamOS and Steam Machines and Steam Controller.
It has been few weeks since whole project was officially released (even after some delays and Valve-time in effect), and it doesn't seem to be taking off properly.
I major bottleneck I see is OEM variety and support. Currently there is pisspoor selection with awful price/performance ratio, half of OEMs already bailed out with some excuse and there is no sign of situation getting any better.
Should community take things in it's own hands, start actively developing and evangelising Steam Machines, or let it all sink to the bottom of history, where it can take place next to 3DO machines?

Enjoy listening to "linux has nogaems" argument for next 10 years then.
>OEMs already bailed out with some excuse
Is that "some excuse" usually one of the same things that were part of the vicious cycle which http://rbt.asia/g/post/41160055 told about long ago?
Steam machines were always doomed to failure. Valve doesn't know anything about consoles and now they have their own resting in the console graveyard
Hi /g/, I've come to you to ask for guidance.
I've built a PC before, but I just used a guide online (it was for someone else.) My uncle gave me his computer for my birthday, it's a custom build, though not well done.
While shipping the computer the videocard (GPU?) was damaged, and so the screen was wonky. I got UPS to replace it, but they gave me a very different (Much much smaller) part. I want to upgrade my PC to play Fallout 4, but I'm not sure what to buy.
I'm not sure how to check my parts list, though device manager lists an AMD processor, and my new AMD videocard. I read online that I should buy a GPU to improve performance, but someone else told me that a videocard and a GPU are the same thing, so did UPS send me a super shitty GPU instead of replacing the good one? The computer ran games like crap before.
What should I do? How can I tell what parts I need to buy, and is a GPU the same as a videocard? I replaced the part of the computer you plug the HDMI cable into.
>>51652301
Install gentoo
Then kill yourself my man
>>51652301
A graphics card is a GPU, yes. Download Speccy and post a screenshot so we can see your specs.
>insert Gentoo meme
install Speccy, it is a useful tool to check temps/hardware
take a screenshot of the specs, that'll give us more useful information

What do you guys think about https://morph.is/v0.8/ ?
>>51652960
The site doesn't seem to explain its full featureset clearly at a glance, but it looks like it is trying to be the successor of freenet, except without anonymity (namely, you upload content to the network, rather than nodes requesting content from you). If they solved the capacity limit issue, might be cool.

Actually,
"SECURE
MORPHiS is a custom (enhanced with inventions) Kademlia DHT over a custom (enhanced with optimizations for performance in security) SSH protocol. MORPHiS is written in Python, a free and open language that is memory safe with high performance asynchronous I/O, and is not controlled by US/NSA corporations."
This paragraph makes it sound like the author doesn't know what he's doing.
"
WEB OF TRUST
Through a trust based system of reputation, this feature will enable reputation based searches (deprecating GOOGLE/BING/ETC, DNS, and so on), forums (bye bye disqus, etc!), and eventually deprecating democracy and stone age government (democracy via stone age paper ballots VS real time direct voting)."
This one (and others) make it sound like pure vaporware.
"
What is DMAIL?
THE KILLER FEATURE! My pride and joy invention: Distributed Spam Proof Mail! Uncensorable, inherently spam proof and transparently encrypted and sender authenticated messaging! Secure enough for Edward Snowden! Easy and fool-proof enough for a child! This uses the updateable key feature above plus the prefix key search to enable it. It is a revolutionary invention found only in MORPHiS! The inherent spam resistance uses a transparent proof of work, beyond what hashcash was. It is automatically AES-256-CBC encrypted and automatically RSA-4096 sender authenticated. Use it over TOR and it is inherently anonymous as well! Oh yea, and MORPHiS hosts your Dmail for free! This completely deprecates Email!"
Makes it sound like everyone should stay away from this.

Bluemail is what I got going now, its pretty decent
Daily reminder, Linux is meme OS that is only suitable for desktops. It has the worst cpu scaling and battery utilization of all time when it comes to laptops and mobile devices.
Eh no. I get the same 8 hour battery life on both windows and lunnucks.
You're doing something wrong.
>>51652016
Prove it. I have done my research, there is no solution to this problem and the devs acknowledge its existence.

All these crypto locker threads got me thinking about times dumb tech mistakes I've made. What major tech fuck ups have you caused and what did you learn from them?
>My fuck up
One time I rooted my wife's tablet and installed a third-party keyboard then deleted the stock keyboard. 2 weeks later the tablet froze and I had to factory reset it and lost the goddamn keyboard.
>What I learned?
Holy shit why didn't I make a backup

Read the ENTIRE file name, kids.
Why aren't you using Opensuse Leap /g/?
>the only stable maintained Plasma 5 distro
>firefox includes Kdialog filepicker
>comfy one click install software from yast
>YaST2 GUI-driven configuration tool for less-experienced users,or those who want a more GUI-driven environment
I am.
Suse is super stable as long as you don't use anything more thanzypper patchor the software update from the dropdown arrow in the panel.
It's just so fucking slow and bloated. It takes ~20 sec to boot, compared to 3 on my Arch/cinnamon install. It's like vista all over again.
I love yast, but fuck that.
