Only on Windows
And they're all fixed. That's pretty cool.
>>55343539
Damn, you are the dumbest guy on /g/.
Congratulation!
>>55343539
because handling the UI in kernel space gives you performance.
There is a reason it's done that way.

My friend was getting rid of an old laptop Hard Drive, I asked him if I could have it since the one in my old laptop was dying.
I installed it with Windows XP, but its only recognized by windows as a 130gb when it is a 320gb. The BIOS recognizes it as a 320gb.
The laptop is a Dell thats like 10 years old, I even ran their own diagnostics check and everything passed, except for 3 [of the 8] Hard Drive tests
>SMART status test
>SMART short self test
>SMART thresholds test
Not that it is much of a big deal, this HD is actually in better condition than the one I had in it to begin with.
Anyone have ideas on how to get windows to recognize the true size of the HD, or is the rest of it probably corrupt?
It's a western digital wd3200bekt-75pvmt1 320GB 7200 RPM
I tried to see if there were drivers for it I could update but to no avail, a lot of posts online said you need XP SP3 for windows to recognize "larger" HDs but that hasnt changed anything. Obviously most of these posts were old
Install Gentoo

you need to upgrade from windows 98..

A few questions:
What bit of tech has positively impacted your life the most?
What tech couldn't you happily live without?
What tech do you have to use that causes you fury/misery daily?

Why is Alienware so hated? They make decent stuff, yet people act like it's complete shit.
Overpriced
>>55343175
overpriced for performance, they kinda do the same as apple
if their products were cheaper, i would give them some respek
Are there any better brands? I'm fucking lazy and i don't have the confidence to build a PC.
imo elementaryOS has the best home webpage to tell you about it's OS. it is simple, clean, light, minimal, and it offers a very clear donation button which gives it a bit of class.
worst webpage HAS to go to Arch. horrible formatting, no images, doesn't tell you anything, no donate button. WAY too information-heavy. But, I guess this is a positive in a way, because it is clearly for an advanced operating system user.
linuxmint.com
gorgeous, modern design just like their default wallpaper
gentoo.org
hands down

There is literally no reason for average gamer to buy anything else but this card.

If you don't care about graphics, get an APU. If you care about graphics, get a higher end GPU.
Rx 480 fags eternally BTFO.
I'm barely getting 35-40 fps running Witcher 3 on my 480 and after 25 minutes it's running at 95c, then he throttles down and I'm down to ~10 fps

DELET THIS? PLS?
So I've been making music on the VICE commodore emulator. But I heard that the actual C64 sounds better. Is this true? The prices on ebay can be outrageous. But I found that people are selling it cheaper locally on craigslist.
I watched videos on how to transfer files from your computer to the commodore. My only problem is I cannot find commodore floppy disks themselves. Where do I buy the actual floppies?
Should just be able to format standard PC 360k disks for use with a 1541
Or just use a datasette.
>>55342874
>But I heard that the actual C64 sounds better. Is this true?
Yes. The best sounding option would be a C64 with 8580 SID with digifix. Almost every C64C (except the very early assy. 250466) have this SID; breadbins and very early C64C don't (they have the 6581 SID which doesn't need the digi-fix but sounds worse.)
>>55342874
>My only problem is I cannot find commodore floppy disks themselves.
Pretty sure that there are a lot of expansion boards that allows you to use SD/MMC cards instead of floppy drives.
You can also use tapes.
But again , there are mods to use MP3 players instead of tapes and there are expansion boards that let you use Memory Cards and USB sticks , there is no reason to use floppies in 2016
I am glad i've got the N6P.

>usb-c meme
I fucking hate this meme.
>>55342862
Explain yourself. Why is USB-C bad?
>>55343955
Because all my other devices are usb-b. It's just enforcing change for no reason. Now I have to put a extra cable everywhere.
Sup /g/, this is an every-day-carry thread, but instead of just spamming the discussion with photos of random objects, I was wondering if we could get a consensus of what a person in today's world should have on their person at all times?
Assume on average, since a person in one part of the world (hell even one part of the U.S.) might not need to carry exactly what someone else would. That kind of goes for male/female, profession, etc. as well. Different people need to have different things. Should everyone /EDC/ a bottle of water? Maybe, maybe not. What about a packet of aspirin? Or disposable tissues?
Let's say everyone needs to carry a wallet, right? What about:
>pen
>paper
>multi-tool
Should everyone have that on them at all times? They're all cheap, extremely convenient, and small. Or, is it better to say that everyone should have a smartphone by now, which even the most low-income person could afford, given the more moderately priced models.
What do you think?
Wallet, phone and keys
I carry wallet, phone, keys, Power bank
>>55342870
>>55342893
So you're saying everyone DOES carry a wallet, phone and keys, or that those are the bare-minimum things that everyone should carry, and everything else is extra?
