Free software is software that didn't cost me anything.
No, that is gratis software that is free as in free beer. Free software is software that repects your freedoms.

Well, you can be exploited by radio signal. So, I suggest construct a leaded anechoic chamber...

Butthurt niggers.
Because niggers.
> you bought an i5-2500k or i7-2600k
nearly 4 years later there's still no compelling reason to upgrade
good job! :)
I have found my people.
I-Is it bad that I only have an i5-2500 because I never wanted to overclock my CPU in the first place?

Just bought a Fidelio X1 for $180 on Amazon
First for HD800 are GOAT.

>Comfort
Comfort is subjective. I own the hf5. I use them daily for commuting and I have no major issues with comfort. I do sometimes use different tips, depending on what situation I'm in. Some are more isolating than others. Tips are use are the Ety triple flange, Comply Tx-100 and Westone Stars.
>Long cable
It depends on how tall you are I suppose. You can use after market cables.
If you have doubts about spending so much on something you may not like, get the hf5 first. That's what I did. I never regretted it. When these eventually give up and die, which probably won't be for a while, they've stood up to daily use very well, I'll be getting an ER4PT. Pic is hf5 with triple flange.
I've been tasked with replacing my sister's laptop, but she has zero respect for technology and quickly breaks everything she touches. Here's a laundry list of things she's done to the last machine, that was not even a year old:
*Paint on the screen
*Melted case from hair iron
*Bent CD tray
*Several Jammed Keys
*Several Missing Keys
*Caved in USB port
*Can't close properly
*Shattered hinge
*Gum(?) in fan vents
*Only turns on if slammed against the ground (for the last six months)
The point is I need to find something that's hardy enough to survive her disrespect, and cheap enough to not cry over when it doesn't anyways. Are there any laptops known for being impossible to ruin physically that are destitute tier? It doesn't need to be a good machine at all, it just needs to survive.

Did you consider returning the monkey to the zoo?
>>45369883
Get an infeild pro laptop. Toshiba has some I think
>>45369883
It's cheaper to train your sister into functional human being.
So now that ThinkPads are officially dead, what laptops are the ThinkPads of the future? EliteBooks? Precisions?
Yes, older ThinkPads are still good, but in five years your trusty T-series or X-series from before 2011 will be only good for basic tasks, not for full-time computing. The current ThinkPads being released won't even last five years, let alone 10+ years like the old ThinkPads that refuse to die. In the past couple years, Lenovo has made a firm decision to make ThinkPads into a purely consumer brand, not the business-class brand of yore.
This thread isn't for shilling ThinkPads. It's for shilling alternatives.
Fuck off macfag

Why I still use my x41 for web and never find is slow? setup is everything - I fully expect an x230 to be usable in 5-10yrs... how fast do you need your porn? Its not like you will be designing the next apollo rocket with it... you will still just be shitposting on 4chan....
I am fucking overwhelmed.... I am trying to ascend to master race /g/ and I am just totally flabber gasted.
I feel like I have too many options. I hate all these options for master race PC's. I just want a decent PC that can play most games on moderate to high at 60 FPS.
However, I don't have so much capital.... I don't have a good desk, I have no monitors.. no fucking operating system(Windows 8.1 costs like fucking 80 bucks?)
WHat can I do?
Also, is it a good idea to go piece by piece or buy it all at once? Like where the fuck do I start? WHERE TO START? I am on logical increments but then someone on /v/ told me logical increments is dog shit.. others say its godly.. What to believe?
PLease help. I am on a 200 dollar dell laptop right now.

>/g/ master race
>gaymen
>going to /v/
no bro.
Use PC Part Picker.
Pirate Windows 7.
Buy a single 1080p monitor, shit's cheap and still good.
Intel and Nvidia for gaming, GTX760 will do you just fine.
8GB RAM.
Go for one of the cheaper i5s.
do I want a full tower or mid tower? See... these are the fucking choices I am talking about.
Old one at 3 hunna

So I'm sitting here at home with a Logitech G700s on a Razer Vespula literally 20cm away from my hands... And yet I'm still using the Trackpoint and I can't stop using it.
Is this a Trackpoint addiction? What do, /g/?

Recently bought a X220i (Somehow a X220T with an i5)
Bought the 19+ slice battery this morning and this 9 cell battery from a 3rd party. The voltages are good, the mAh are great, the "gap" is there for the tablet version, there is a warranty, what could go wrong with this buy? Image related
Off course it's not lenovo branded, but still, specs are there right?
Lost my collection. Thanks encryption.
>>45355113
collection of what brah. good. im glad. u talkin about illegal shit? yea prolly. good im glad. all gone and now u needa start life over. the authorities are already onto ur ass.
not everyone is a fucking pedophile like you, you aging ugly lonely fuck. not everyone can relate. take your shit life and fuck off elsewhere with it. you're not welcome here. die a nobody, bitch, we hate you.
>>45355135
I reckon most men are in denial.
Going through the same pain. No CP on it but do you think if I go to NSA and tell them there is they'd decrypt for me? Think they'd be mad when they find nothing?
Hey /g/ can you rate my PC build? I've never built a PC before and this is my first go at picking out the parts.
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/hDJM6h
The video card is an AMD HD79703GB Radeon HD 7970 3GB 384-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16. For some reason it didn't show up on partpicker, which makes me think I fucked up the build.
Anyone at all?
Not bad at all, I would invest in at least a 64 GB SSD just for Windows and applications.
>>45367387
how much is the 7970?
Post your old computer specs
gtfo if it's newer then 2004... That's not old
>>45365295
I don't know which year it was exactly, but around 2000 I used to have Dell Latitude D505.
CPU Something Pentium 1.4 GHz
128 MB RAM
1024x768 matt display
31 GB HDD
I know it had a Bluetooth icon, but apparently it didn't have the actual technology.
I also have an exchangeable 3.5" diskette tray.
Don't remember anything more, though I still have it somewhere at the bottom of my drawer.
I use a thinkpad 755ce every day. Specs:
Standard Features
Intel 486DX4 100MHz CPU
WD90C24 video controller with 1MB
10.4" TFT display with 640x480 resolution
Removable LCD cover to support overhead projectors
8MB memory standard
340, 540 or 810MB HDD
IBM Mwave Audio and Modem controller
IrDA 1.0
UltraBay with 1.44MB FDD
(2) Type II, or (1) Type III PCMCIA slot
>>45365407
What do you use it for?
Also, what OS did you install?
Why does /g/ keep saying it's not a good time to build a x99 system just yet? Is it due to quality or price? or both?
Can someone educate me please, because I have read a lot of good reviews about x99 mobos and 5930k and 5960x cpu's. Only ddr4 being shit makes sense to me due to price.
>>45365101
I suspect price. There isn't much demand for x99 boards or DDR4 RAM.
>>45365101
Even top end youtubers that render all day see it as a waste of money (probably got half it for free) so unless you do serious work on your PC there really is no point.
>>45365130
>>45365115
I'm going crazy over this. Been thinking/researching for a week now. The issue is that I'm having an opportunity to get one intel CPU for half the price. (Uncle did a contact work for intel).
This is making me want to build a system around 5960x ($520).
Is it still a waste of money in your opinion?
