Here's how it works. A anon comes along and post a picture and description of a gadget/weapon/or whatever that they think is impractical. Then another anon comes along and explains why it wouldn't work in a practical sense, or why it actually would work in a practical sense. To start us off, the team fortress 2 sentry buster.
your thread is lame
>>45609814
A sentry buster? You mean that mine looking thing on legs? Well I guess it would be best for taking out tanks and buildings, but hard to make and not very subtle...I mean look at that thing! You can see it coming from a mile away and it has no camo. So it would likely be destroyed by enemy soldiers before it reaches its target. Even if it did have camo that thing has glowing bits and is likely remote controlled. You would need packs of these things but that would be very very expensive...

I dig it, But why do you have two chairs?
>>45610793
The chair in the corner can recline and is comfy for reading/napping. The task chair is for computing - still comfy, but not really fit for extended relaxing.

>tfw you bought an amd cpu instead of an intel one
feels bad
Just sell it and get Intel one then?
This thread will go absolutely fucking nowhere. People will use anecdotal evidence back and forth, post heavily biased benchmarks, and come to either the semi intelligent response that both lines have their own use cases, or they'll come to the typical /g/ conclusion and call each other shills rather than refuting the original point.
Sage and move on.
Intel = jews
you did good anon
What will China do if factories decide to automate their various factories?
The same sort of thing the US did. Move manufacturing to Africa where humans are cheaper than robots.

How the fuck are you supposed to watch movies nowadays?
I was thinking about watching Interstellar but surprise surprise it's not available to buy or rent on the internet. It's like they dont want my money. Going to a cinema is such a fucking autistic and shitty experience compared to watching a movie at home so that's not an option.
>not watching Interstellar at an IMAX
You're missing out.

Hey /g/,
we always talk about headphones but almost never about earphones.
Is there anything decent you guys can recommend for a budget of around 100 bucks??
I was thinking of getting pic related but I'm not quite sure.
my cousing bought em and they sound pretty fine.
There's better.
>>45602742
i have them and think they're great. comfy and sound excellent. what more could you want?
Hey /g/, quick netsec question.
What techniques are there to allow one to spy on his home network? I'm asking because I got the feeling that a family member is spying on us, so I'm trying to uncover the truth.
If it helps, most computers are on a wired connection, with laptops an phones on wifi. It's run by the router that we got from our ISP. From what I've seen, its settings haven't been modified, so it's not simply the router redirecting requests through the spy's computer. The settings available are also pretty limited, I don't even think there is a way to do this from the router.
The wired connections go through the walls, so there's no way to tamper with the network cables, plus I checked the connections, everything seems fine.
Where else can I go looking?

My nigga.
This is also helpful for me.
My sister is autistic and I'm pretty sure she's talking to crazy people on the internet because she's lonely (she dropped out of school). I need to observe what she's doing.
When will GIMP be a real competitor to photoshop?
