when will the windowed case panel meme die?
it's stupid and gaudy and it forces you to waste extra money on color coding your parts to make them not look like shit
i wanted to get this case but they don't offer a version without the dumb window.
>>55272017
Just paint over the window with plastidip if it bothers you so much
>>55272017
Let the window face your wall?
Or take the window out and spray paint it in your color of choice?
Btw, sexy case, love the design, thanks for sharing.

Forgot the picture, looks perfectly fine this way imo.
What RAM type was your favorite?
heatsinked ddr3. Not with extremely high, idiotic heatsinks, but something subtle, like Kingston hyperX.
RDRAM
>>55272037
RAM heatspreaders are a meme, you dip.
Why are old computers so comfy?
(pic related is my powerbook g4)
>>55271857
Why are you running Tiger instead of PPC Debian for security and more up to date packages than that piece of shit?
>>55272531
It's Leopard. I've already tried PPC Debian also, and it's a huge hassle to set up (on my powerbook at least), so I just stuck with Leopard
>>55271857
Really old computers are not comfy. They're a pain in the butt to use.
But around the mid 2000s computers got very comfy with Windows XP and Mac OS X. These operating systems were very powerful and flexible, but also simple enough for a person to get to the point where they felt like they were in near total control of the OS.
Ubuntu was very comfy as well up until the switch to Unity.
Vista was the start of the gimmicks for Microsoft. Somewhere in the late 2010s Apple started having shorter and shorter support periods for their software (I'm not too up on Apple history).
Win 7 can be considered comfy, I suppose. But it's too messy in places for my taste. The control panel is unintuitive and the file permissions system is terrible.
Right now, without looking it up can you get to the Virtual Memory management window in Windows 7 without having a misclick along the way to get there?
I could do it every time in Windows XP but I can never quite remember exactly where it is in 7. I always end up in the wrong place for a few seconds before I get there.
Can anyone recommend a decent vpn that happens to be free?
Nothing is ever free.

OpenVPN is free as in freedom
Win XP Home edition version 2002
SP3
224MB of RAM
Would this computer be worth salvaging? It would be my first time doing something like this with such an old computer, if I buy new shit for it, would it even work?
Processor?
Probably not.
You could do it for FUN
What kind of a Processor is it running?
I'd toss in more RAM and a Radeon 9800 Pro and use it for XP era vidya or something.
Overclock it until it cries or dies

If he was so smart then why did he die?
He wasn't smart at all.
The man literally committed suicide when he refused chemo for a treatable cancer and instead decided to eat nothing but fruit to make the cancer go away.
He's not dead

Is HTC Desire 610 a good phone? I can get it for $1.
I can also add that I had a Wildfire S a few years ago and liked it.
How is Desire 610 comparable to phones in the same price range?
>>55271540
o-ok
What should be the simplest to argue for two paragraphs: Everyone should be required to learn to code or everyone should not be required to learn to code?
Is this for some homework? Then the first. Most teachers want their jobs secure.
I think everyone can benefit from some basic computer literacy courses and this includes basic scripting because a little shell scripting can go a long way.
Not everyone needs to learn to code for the same reason that not everyone becomes a mathematician, not everyone is cut out for it.
The "everyone can code" and "programmer shortage" meme is a scheme put into place by silicon valley who wants to devalue the software development profession into the janitorial work of the 21st century, with pay to match.
>>55271468
Yes, but are there professors out there who still believe they are required for people to learn to code properly?
There shouldn't be a right or wrong answer but perhaps you are right, he may grade the people who choose the latter option harsher. But really no, people should not be required to code. lel

you can buy it from here guys. I bought it for my 4k monitor and I play games at 60 fps.
>>55271435
>$850
for a "$599" card
>>55271556
bro it can play 4k at 60fps. why wouldn't it be 850? I guess it's pretty much price performance.

Are you really this stupid?
You're all a bunch of posers and idiots. Cable management has LITERALLY no effect on a PC's performance.

Only an autismo opens up their pc case EVER.
>>55271427
You mean you've never added more ram, more hard drives, replaced video cars, etc..?
Who the fuck said anything about it having an effect on performance? Airflow maybe if its a jungle of wires.
Some people have their cases in view you know.

>Only an autismo opens up their pc case EVER.
Why are you even on /g/ if you just buy prebuilts and never open them?
why is it called a kernel? isnt that popcorn?
a kernel is the part underneath the hard shell of a seed/nut
the kernel is the part underneath the whole system
>>55271356
An OS is the userland programs, the shell, and then the kernel underneath.
>>55271381
so a kernel is like a metaphor for the corn that wasnt popped into popcorn yet (linux)
