Node hype has already died down. Forget about it.
What exactly does Node.js help with? Why is it so popular?
According to various people on /g/:
Unity: worse than Hitler
GNOME 3: pretty good but a bit bloated and infested with feminists
KDE: bloated, clunky cancer designed by Germans with terrible taste
XFCE: for people who think Windows 98 is the best OS ever
LXQt: not even good enough for a embedded dumb terminal xmonad/wmii/dwm: 2 month learning curve just to do basic things with your PC, wayland support never
Is there not a single desktop environment for Linux that's good?
I'm using Gnome 3. I like it.
MATE
Cinnamon: GNOME 3 with a panel and the feminists replaced with terrorists.

rooting: iroot
The Mediatek MT6795 managed to score a huge 4536 points in the Multi-core benchmark, beating the Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 which scored just 4345 points.
Both chipsets are 8-core, 64bit processors running 4 x Cortex A57 and 4 x Cortex A53 cores, and both were running Android 5.0 Lollipop for the benchmark.

MediaTek is such a fucking boss company. They haven't had the most money to throw around, but when they see a good idea coming they jump behind it full force. They're an HSA Foundation founding member, and delivered one of the first SoCs that complied with the provisional HSA spec at the time. Their true octacore designs deliver remarkably high sustained performances without massive thermal throttling issues. As an IC designer they're really leading the pack in a lot of respects.
Here in the west we're used to seeing Qualcomm or Apple dominate benches...

I think it's really sad that most computers today are used for consuming media and nothing else.
Back in the day, user manuals for new computers came with instructions on how to write your own programs.
Users were actually encouraged to learn how their computer works.
Now people are lucky if they don't accidentally install 30 spyware botnets while torrenting that latest hollywood movie, because they really have no idea what they're doing.
And?

You are right

This is really sad too.
I wish my computer came with a manual like that.

This thread is for me. I use 7-Zip 9.38 x64 and it doesn't want to appear in context menu, Win 8.1 x64. I have tried to put these ticks responsible for this, but it didn't help. I have already tried to run it as an admin, still.
How do I get the tablet functionality of my x60 working in Arch?
>>46736461
Have you tried just adding it manually?
I just want tiny computers (not touchscreen phones/tablets) to become common again.
We f*cking had netbooks and they died within a few years. Deal with it. Tablets and phones ARE the tiny computers of the present and future.
>>46722271
UMPCs were shitty even back in the day.
Sacrificing performance, battery life and practicality just for muh portability, they were not comfortable to use.
There's a reason they died out.
>>46722297
>netbooks and they died
No they didn't. See chromebooks and Microsoft's dirt cheap competitors like the HP stream 11.

Nvidia is dominating desktop graphics and Intel is dominating integrated graphics.
Apple is also poking around a bit and may or may not switch to their own A-processors for their ultraportables in the future.
What can AMD do?
What area should AMD really focus on to stay relevant?
If things continue at the current rate, AMD as we know it will be kill.

>This fucktard doesn't know about AMD's soon-to-be HBM revolution
AMD is in a slump, true. But just wait.
All hell's about to break loose.
>Nvidia gains more marketshare at the time when they release new cards and AMD doesn't
Is that supposed to be somehow surprising? Now if AMD doesn't regain marketshare after releasing the 300-series, THEN you might be onto something.
