>using the deprecated Adblock that still can't optimize their blocking method and sells out to major corporations
>not switching to the grassroots, community-powered uBlock that even in its early stages, wipes the fucking floor with Adblock
Why haven't you switched to uBlock yet, anon?
There's a Firefox version now.
https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock

>inb4 the adblock employees come into this thread making baseless accusations to try to keep you from switching away from their cancerous product
Thank you, gorhill, for finally slaying the Adblock beast and leaving its foul carcass to rot.
When will the shilling end?

lol
>>46690728
Err, isn't ABP also open source?
What operating system are you using and why?

Man that logo takes me back...
>>46702389
that logo will never not remind me of playing sim city 2000 back in the days
>>46702389
That logo, such good times.
Ducken nukem, doom, full throttle and glorious other point and clic games .....
Why hasn't been any good game since then.
Mass effect was ok, but thats it
What extensions do you use for Firefox?
clearly, google reverse image search, noscript, ublock
ABP (I know, I know, I'll check out uBlock today) and Google Analytics Opt-Out. The second could be a complete placebo for all I'd know, but I figured it's worth the hope.
extensions.adblockplus.subscriptions_exceptionscheckbox
Toggle this in ABP and you get rid of the checkbox. It's basically ABE but you can enjoy being on the "official" version.
Or switch to µBlock…

Desktop Thread, donut edition
I will never miss a thread
It's pretty bad
Why edit with anything but notepad ++.
Because pic related is better than it now.
Because I use MS Word

It just works

agreed
shit is starting to piss me off more and more every day
Hi /g/, which do you have? 8GB or 16GB RAM?
Which do you prefer?
good rhetorical question.
Of course 16 GB are better, but I have 8 coz poorfag
>>46699937
4GB, but I prefer 64MB
I prefer 24 gb because why the hell aren't you running 3 distros of leenix and osx all on one computer with windows holding all it together.
>Windows is insecure
>GNU/Linux master race
>OSX has no viruses
Meanwhile in reality... Pic related is an overview of last year's data.
Reality hurts, doesn't it?
Ahahahahaha Loonix users btfo

How many hard drives can you fit in your case, /g/?
Using the bays? 5
Haphazardly throwing them in? Dozens
>>46702901
How do you power them, though? Even SATA power cables with multiple connections are hard as fuck to position for different drives.
1x 3.5
1x 2.5
X220 is best ThinkPad edition.

First for how do I get my x60's touch screen to function in Arch Linux?
does anyone know if there is an older thinkpad model that has a slider you have to slide to open it? like when you close it, it locks into place and you have to move the slider on the front to open it again, does this exist?
>>46703531
My t420 has that
Likely most other models
The title may be a bit confusing... but how do you convince someone that their technology problem isn't a result of a particular action that they may have performed etc.
For example, A user at the office I work in believes that when she brought her laptop into work(her own personal laptop) and connected to our WiFi, her computer contracted a virus. Its a particularly nasty virus called cryptolocker I think. It encrypts all the data on the hard drive and then attempts to scare the user into paying some fuck head in brazil or some shit.
Anyway, long story short.. She is completely SET on the fact that our WiFi caused this when she connected to it and she wants our office reimburse her for the damages.
How can I explain to her that her connecting to our WiFi is more than likely not how she got this virus. I hate situations like this where the user just can't understand that maybe, JUST MAYBE it was something they did to get a virus.
Also, no other computer on our network has been affected by this at all. No other users report anything strange etc.
Counter sue. She brought an infected machine to your office and put your office at risk.
>1981
>not using terminal front-ends
office drones today are morons
>>46695332
You explain how wi-fi works and start to slightly blame her, to then blame her fully.
>You can only get viruses when you access shady sites, like pornographic ones
So /g/, I always wondered "What is the cheapest yet fairly reliable PC build you can make that you can later upgrade to a entry-level gaming one?"
So I've come up with $200 pic related build. Only 120GB HDD, 2GB DDR3 RAM, 300W PSU, 2-core CPU @ 3.2GHz and 128-shader GPU @ 720MHz, WiFi USB dongle, micro atx case/motherboard - the minimum I think that should be allowed for a PC. However the cool thing is that since this is a FM2+ MB it means it is backward compatible with FM2 so you can get all the bang for your buck or a little bit more performance+efficiency if you wish.
>Level 1 upgrade: $150
Replace the APU with a $100 A8-7600, add another $20 2GB RAM stick, and add a $30 320GB HDD
Now you have 4 cpu-cores @ 3.1 - 3.8GHz and 384 gpu-shaders @ 720MHz. In addition 4GB RAM and 440GB total storage space.
>Level 2 upgrade: $225
Disable the iGPU and max CPU to 3.8GHz, add a $150 NVidia GTX 750 Ti GPU, add another $20 2GB RAM stick, and add a $50 500GB HDD + $5 3.5" to 5.25" mounting bracket
Now you have 4 cpu-cores @3.8GHz and a 640 CUDA-core GPU @ ~1GHz. In addition 6GB RAM and 940GB total storage space.
Any further upgrades would require a more powerful PSU, water cooling to overclock the CPU and a new case to accommodate the radiator and additional storage. Anyway, by the time you reach Level 2 upgrades you will have spent around $600 with shipping and you will be able to play BF3 and most other games on 1080p, 60FPS+, and on high graphical settings.
What do you /g/ents think?
>>46690449
>nvidia
>price conscious
If you want to spend 150 on gpu, get R7 270. Much better.
>>46690449
>Anti static wristband
>not 5 more dollars into anything else
>>46690590
Problem is the PSU is only 300W so the R7 270, hell even the 260 might not be compatible because of the connectors. I'm very sure the GTX 750 Ti is compatible with a 300W PSU because 2 friends have exactly that kind of build.
Will 2015 be the year of the Windows Phone?
No
Stop shilling.
Sure, also year of leenux desktop
>>46685374
prolly not
sorry
