Hey /g/
Dumbphones are still great, they are amazing for travel, and they last so long.
Pic related, the Nokia 105 has 35 days of standby and is GSM Unlocked.
Go back to bed grandpa.

I agree, they can be great smartphone companions when you need to take something more rugged. i.e. Camping, Hiking, Travel
Are SSDs a meme?
Planning to buy SAMSUNG 850 EVO 2.5" 250GB
Samsung ones are. Why would you pay more for less?
>>55377953
go for it, you won't regret it.
>>55377953
Yes, maximum meme, total scam, avoid at all costs :^)
I'm looking to install a new Linux distro, which one should I get?
Manjaro
Fedora, OpenSUSE, or Ubuntu (any of its derivatives)
>>55377830
Mint or Ubuntu if you are a productive member of society (with gf and shit)
Any other distro if you are a betacuck living in his moms basement
Would you rather have:
>30mbps Internet with traffic shaping
Or
>20mbps unlimited
>>55377783
20mbps unlimited.
>>55377783
Unlimited. Although I don't have to choose because I have 100mbps unlimited.
That depends on if the traffic shaping benefits the connection quality overall: by controlling bufferbloat; prioritizing very latency-sensitive services like DNS, SSH, RTP, gaming, etc; not destroying long-lived TCP connections like IRC for no reason; deprioritizing bulk, high-bandwidth services which are not time-critical, so web browsing doesn't get knocked out by a Linux ISO torrent seeding; and most importantly, not arbitrarily throttling shit to low levels or ever blocking anything because you don't like it, or because someone uses a lot of bandwidth and they're an expensive customer, or because the site they're visiting didn't pay the toll ransom even though it's paying its transit.
Traffic shaping is a tool. It can be used for good, and in that form is best implemented in a link-capacity-aware way on a good router.
But ISPs almost never use routers that aren't shit, and almost never truly prioritise connection quality. It has become a tool for double-spacing extortion and outright nation-state censorship, from the conservative universities of the USA to Iran, China, Bahrain, Turkey etc.
It will be a shame to lose traffic shaping as an effective tool, but it is a regrettable casualty in a world where visible, classifiable metadata is a tool for mass surveillance, the biggest attack on the internet to date.

Any Firefox addons I should be using, /g/?
Chromium

For real, Ublock
When did everything go so right?
Classic UI, rock solid, less bloat than Windows 8 or 10.
I hate this Windows 10 shit. If I want to change settings I have to go into this half ass Settings "app". Half the shit you need to change isn't even in Settings, and you need to search for the fucking Control Panel. I want the classic Control Panel back, and I want all my settings there.
I came back to Win2K thinking it would be just an older more usable desktop environment, I didn't know that I would be finding a home.
Sweet-OS has better UI.
>>55377442
Did you say something?
>>55377442
Because men like to compensate. We live in times in where if you dont have a big penis, you have to have money or "personality" and shit.
So, we go for the unnecessary.
Why for the last 6 years has every version of Firefox mobile crashed sometimes 20-30 times a day over 4 different phones.
Is it really so hard to make a mobile browser that doesn't crash? I have literally gone into the habit of copying and pasting every three or four sentences for the last fucking 6 years I have already crashed twice while writing this when trying to perform the captcha.
Stop being super poor and get a 2GB RAM phone.

That being said Firefox still blows as a mobile browser mostly because of comparability problems. Use Chrome instead.
>>55377021
I have a note 4 with zerolemon battery. I always have a top-of-the-line phone each time I upgrade. Chrome and Google sucks, that is not an option for me.

Changelog: App now has a material design
I like material design.

You're an idiot.
Linux Mint 18 was released. Why aren't you installing it right now? What's your excuse?
>>55376532
What's new on it that 16 didn't have? Nothing. This is why I am not going to bother.
Not a Mintfag. Gentoo, Arch or Debian.
>>55376532
because its just debian with some shit theme

http://videocardz.com/61783/amd-testing-driver-fix-for-rx-480-pci-express-overcurrent-issue
>As you know, we continuously tune our GPUs in order to maximize their performance within their given power envelopes and the speed of the memory interface, which in this case is an unprecedented 8 Gbps for GDDR5. Recently, we identified select scenarios where the tuning of some RX 480 boards was not optimal. Fortunately, we can adjust the GPU’s tuning via software in order to resolve this issue. We are already testing a driver that implements a fix, and we will provide an update to the community on our progress on Tuesday (July 5, 2016).

>>55375874
it's going to need a hardware fix, and AMD should recall the card, and replace motherboards, for users who've had boards damaged by the card.
as the longer it goes the harder it will be to do anything.
>>55375874
>all those amd faggots beta testing for amd
Will these faggots ever learn? u never ever buy the reference design
>Plug in USB mouse
>Please wait while we search for a driver
>plug in anything
>please write 1000 lines of sudo codes so maybe it might work
>>55375826
I hate it when i buy a new flash drive and plug it in and windows needs to find a driver for it.
It's a cock sucking flash drive for christ sake, There should just be one generic driver for all of them, They are all literally the same!
Linux at least has this figured out, Plug the fucker in and it just works...
>>55375826
>mouse still works instantly
>but if has additional functionality it will be enabled from the downloaded drivers
and you're bitching why?
