What's the best, decently priced pair of earbuds?
Panasonic RPTCM125A
I have a pair of cheap (~$30 three years ago) sennheiser headphones that are still going strong even after a trip through the washer and dryer
Piston 3s are pretty good.

>Earlier this year, we announced that Google Chrome would continue support for Windows XP through the remainder of 2015. At that time, we strongly encouraged users on older, unsupported platforms such as Windows XP to update to a supported, secure operating system. Such older platforms are missing critical security updates and have a greater potential to be infected by viruses and malware.
>Today, we’re announcing the end of Chrome’s support for Windows XP, as well as Windows Vista, and Mac OS X 10.6, 10.7, and 10.8, since these platforms are no longer actively supported by Microsoft and Apple. Starting April 2016, Chrome will continue to function on these platforms but will no longer receive updates and security fixes.
>If you are still on one of these unsupported platforms, we encourage you to move to a newer operating system to ensure that you continue to receive the latest Chrome versions and features.

Fucking assholes. What the fuck does the Chrome team think they're doing?
the right thing, supporting deprecated OSes is such a waste of resources.

But XP still works, perfectly even.

It's time to let go, amigo. Get win7 or go Linux.
Win8+ is all spyware, avoid it like the plague.
Tl:dr: My computer has been hacked with "RANSOMWARE" and RSA-2048 Encryption and I am desperate for help finding a possible way to decrypt and save my files!!
I posted on here last week after it seemed as though my computer had some sort of phishing spyware/virus installed on it and I was unable to access my Wells Fargo and eBay accounts online and was getting redirected to a page asking for my SSN and other personal info., which was not a legitimate request. Well, it turns out that the issue with my computer is much worse than I originally thought. Much, much worse. And I've been meaning to come back here and post an update for several days now, but I've been frustrated and discouraged, and I'm having to use an old laptop that I've used very little, so I've been putting off posting an update.
With that stated, my computer has apparently been hit/attacked by something called "Ransomware" and most of the files on my 1TB hard drive (particularly, photos) are now encrypted and I can no longer access/view them. Most of my pictures now have .ccc added to the end of the filename; which, apparently, is due to/part of the encryption that has been done via the hacking.
This is extremely frustrating and disheartening, as I have literally over 500,000 photos on my 1TB hard drive (many of them, personal family photos taken myself). Evidently, the way this "ransomware" virus/hack/attack works is that it gets installed on your computer and then encrypts the files on your hard drive and makes them inaccessible to you. Then, several notepad files are created and your computer's desktop background is actually changed to display the information about what happened to your files and you are given links and directions about how you are supposed to contact the hackers and pay them to get the decryption key to regain access to your files.
Pic related: My computer screen with the desktop background image that is currently being displayed after it was hacked.
Continued....

keep hard drive unplugged and wait for someone to find a vulnerability in the encryption
btw, you are dumb as fuck to have XP, get a good antivirus next time
Huh? Why don't you just wipe it and restore your most recent offline backup?
Dear /g/,
I am a student of anthropology. I come to you today because I'm new in my community and am not familiar with many people. I am tasked to briefly interview a professional of any kind related to the topic of my paper. I was wondering if any of you anons could help with that task tonight. My main subject is Bushido and its effect on modern society. I am not sure if this is the right place to post this kind of threat, correct me if I'm wrong please. I would prefer if any Japanese anon could provide answers to my interview, whether you live in Japan or not.
The interview goes like this :
1. What college did you graduate from?
2. Could you describe your professional background and the nature of your work?
3. What are some of the ways your organization\company has changed, absorbing global perspective in the emerging world view?
4. In your opinion, what are some of the characteristics of people and communities that survive and succeed?
5. What is your professional advice to me, a student of anthropology, to make a difference in the community?
Thank you, who ever will take the several minutes to answer and pour their opinions.
No names are needed if you want to remain anon, anons.
Thanks.
>>51643255
Why the fuck would you ask this on the technology board?
Try /int/ or/jp/ instead
>>51643255
>My main subject is Bushido and its effect on modern society
The answer to your thesis is "ZERO"
>bushido

No thank you
I've always seen these in review videos but I'm not sure what other options there are.
I really don't care for using a case for my next build.
Should i just ghetto rig it with milk crates and corrugated plastic? Or buy something like pic related?
Use a case
You want noise and having to clean your rig daily? Cos that's how you get noise and having to clean your rig daily.
buy a case.
>>51643411
i don't want a case, i already have enough cases.
>>51643517
i'm not as autistic as you and blow my shit out whenever it gets dusty, which takes forever since my house is clean.
the noise isn't an issue. it never was an issue.
ITT things that serve no practical function but are awesome because they can and have been done.
to start, i give you RAID on floppy disks.

Back when I was in high school they had an orange rubber cover they put over the keyboard so you didn't know what key was what, then they would have us do mavis beacon.

when will the lies end
So /g/, apparently this is what a bomb looks like to a college professor who is actually a CalTech graduate. My friend left it unattended for 5 mins and came back to police and bomb squad preparing to blow up the package. He got detained (white American) and had to call the engineering department chair to come down and testify.
> American Education
Nice clock, ahmed
>>51643139
WTF is that?
Maybe the bomb squad just likes to blow shit up.
My city has a pretty bad homeless problem downtown, and it's probably once a week that they have streets shutdown because a bum left a bag somewhere and the bomb squad was called in to "investigate."
By "investigate" I mean maniacs in the department blow it up.
So I reinstalled Windows again. I used Firefox and had 4chan x script on it. However I can't seem to find the same script I was using then, now. All the ones I can find are all shit and don't work the same as the one I really liked. I am currently using ccd0s version and it is very similar but not quite and APPCHAN sucks ass.
There version I was using allowed image hover on catalog, showed the (you) and just auto updated without a timer. It just fucking werked.
Anyone know which version of 4chan x this is?
ccd0 has image hover on catalog, shows the (you), and auto updates. It's all in the options.
>>51643189
Where the hell is the image hover option? I sure as hell don't see it.
>>51643236
For catalog.

Without the Macintosh non of you would own a pc. Prove me wrong.
I have a PC right now and I have never owned a macintoh
Without Neanderthal Chuk-Chuk banging two rocks together, you wouldn't have your Macintosh.
Fuck Steve Jobs, all hail Chuk-Chuk.
>>51642818
Yeah that PC wouldnt exist without Steve Jobs
Just installed the new Radeon drivers and it's pretty disastrous. The Windows 10-ised radeon settings lack a ton of things that used to be there. For example I can't set custom gamma or contrast for video, which was really useful when watching lower quality video
>>51642806
Have you looked in advanced settings?
There's a button that opens another window. Looks like catalyst, and has the less used features kept hidden.
>>51642998
Catalyst doesn't throttle your fans to 20% while your card burns though.
>>51643023
didnt they patch it

Just finished this tonight tell me what you guys think
>>51642774
Bit late for that, isn't it?
>>51642774
It fell over.
360s are passively cooled?
I know the whole "/g/ isnt tech support" but I just want some opinions on my first PC build
