I tried searching the code online with no results.
Kinda looks like a capacitor. Any ideas?
That is a paralexal string resistor. Be careful with it

I remember the last time a paralexal string resistor came across my desk and it was not pretty...
>>51459415
Its a transistor OP
Anyone else have enterprise-grade WiFi?
Just bought a Ubiquiti UniFI AP AC Lite. It's living where my old Linksys was, but will be relocated to a more central location at some point.

>>51459372
I was considering getting of the the cheaper ubiquiti access points. Do you like yours?
how do i fix this disgusting font rendering?
>>51459255

install Microsoft® Windows® 10
install os X
I need to hide my ip, /g/. Is incognito mode good enough?
this is bait
yes desu
>>51459208
Definitely not.
Why do you even need to hide it, anyways?
had the mionix castor for half a day and it didn't work out. so I'll go for the zowie now, replacing my mx518. why is there no proper successor to the mx518 or intelli mouse.
steel series mice and the zowie seem to be the closest in terms of shape and ergonomics.
what mice does /g/ recommend use? most of the charts floating around are outdated.
Yeah, I'm in pretty much the same boat. I reckon I'll pull the trigger on the Steelseries Rival.
>>51459086
G400s and Zowie mice have the best sensors.
>>51459449
G400s sensor is not the best.

Why ThinkPad? (also applies to other business laptops)
>They’re really cheap when you buy a used one.
>Keyboards feel excellent while typing (yes, even the newer ones).
>Great durability thanks to the inclusion of rollcages and use of glass fiber reinforced plastic for the chassis. The keyboard is splash proof and spilled liquids will drain out.
>Utilitarian design - e.g. indicator LEDs, 7 row keyboard layout on older models.
>Docking solutions that easily turns your laptop into a desktop.
>Easy to repair, upgrade and maintain thanks to readily available service manuals for almost every model. Spare parts are easy and cheap to obtain.
>The best trackpoint (that red thing on the middle of the keyboard). Great for those who type a lot or hate swiping their fingers all over a touchpad.
>Excellent GNU/Linux & *BSD support.

"So a little update for you all, Lenovo still working very hard on the ThinkPad Retro project. A team of Taiwanese diehard ThinkPadders will visit Lenovo Yokohama next week, and they will be briefed on all things ThinkPad (and some details on Retro). Apparently, right now the bottleneck for Retro project is on sourcing the screen. for 13.3 inches 16:10 and 15.4 inches 16:10 IPS screens are all exclusively produced for Apple. But i am guessing CES we will see the prototype for the Retro ThinkPad."
(from the forum post in OP)
Just got myself a 600x. Will I be able to install modern distros on it or will I have to use something older?
just got a lenovo yoga 14, but there is some light bleed in the lower left corner, any fixes?
also this app called lenovo pc experience will not delete of be removed from the taskbar, could geeksquad help?
Post your guts, rate guts, discuss guts and aesthetics.

Always loved your build. What's the blue green rear fan? I like the look and color of it on its own, but I feel like it kinda detracts to from your overall look.
early for once
our PCs could be cousins OP
>>51459167
>Always loved your build.
Aww, that's so nice. The rear fan is actually green, it's one of the case fans, Nanoxia deep silence. It's just there because I was too lazy to buy proper fans for the case, 7 expensive fans on the rads are enough, I just re-used what I had here for the rest.

It's 2015.
I built a gaming desktop in ~2006, left it behind in 2008 when I went off to college.
Went to go boot it up now, can't get any video to appear on the screen, not even a POST message. One of the disk drives was making funny noises (has cd and dvd) so I unplugged both and the hard drive as well, but the symptoms are the same.
All leds light up and the fans spin, and that's it. I don't remember if it's supposed to beep or not on POST, the SMT pads labeled "buzzer" are unpopulated and there's a jumper marked "speaker" near the USB connectors but my case doesn't have a connector for it.
Could a dead CMOS battery cause all this? I don't have a spare one on hand. None of the capacitors are bulging.
Any ideas? I was hoping I'd be able to scavenge some pieces from this build but it's going to be way harder if I can't tell what's good and bad.
If you live near sea, the salt water might fuck things up during the humid season.
Forgot to mention that the shelf it was stored on is only ~12 feet away from my old computer desk, so I don't think it was banged around too much.
Also the CPU and southbridge heatsinks stay pretty cool to the touch after being on for ~20 seconds, but the northbridge heatsink gets suspiciously warm.
The motherboard does not have a video out so I am testing the video through DVI on the video card. I double-checked my monitor with a few different sources so I don't think the monitor's the problem.
RIP annons computer
Post pics so we can properly morn it's passing together.
Was it able to run crysis?
I dropped and shattered my Z3C screen. Probably would just use it anyway except it disabled the digitizer so I can't.
Does anyone have any experience replacing the screens on this? I've fixed a lot of phones but this one looks like bitch because the front and back are just glued to the frame. What's the best angle of approach here? Would buying an LCD with frame be advantageous?
Take it to someone to fix it for you. Might be pricey but looks like that would be a pain in the ass to fix
>>51458634
Well I worked in repair for over a year so the person I would take it to to get it fixed is...myself.
>>51458531
>Not having a case
>"muh aesthetics"
Hahahahaha, go and eat a dick
Just how much better is OS X compared to Linux?
What makes it better or worse?
>>51458492
the only think I can think of is 3rd party software like Microsoft Office and Adobe Photoshop.
If they didn't have that, well loonix would win.
>>51458492
Neither is better or worse. It's essentially just bells and whites vs freedom.

Why do people still come up with such videos?
>>51458194
They want to drive down the value of programmers. But normies can't code for shit, and the only thing shitting up the industry are the Indian's with their easily obtainable (as toilet paper) diplomas.
>mfw shit-tier codemonkeys are scared shitless because normies are going to take away the only thing that made them special in their sad pathetic lives.
>>51458329
Bad analogy, toilet paper is really hard to get in India
Hey anons I can't get my windows 7 to upgrade to Windows 10. It goes through the screen and then it tells me it failed. It said something about a thread exception failed.
What do?
Why would you even want that botnet shit
Install gentoo
We have this problem at work. Try going to 8.1 and then to 10.
So why do you care that ms collects data on Win10? Are you from Syria?
>>51457954
Enjoy your botnet.
