Why does MS Windows not use GiB over GB and MiB over MB etc...?
>>55606268
Because they are prajeets
>>55606268
They actually use binary prefixes, but Pajeet is too stupid and labeled everything with SI prefixes anyways.
>>55606268
Legacy reasons.
I double dare you
>>55606226
>Windows XBroken
sounds about right
>>55606226
I dare you to post the CP of it here.
Bump for interest
What's the best gallery app for android, dudes?
I've got a hidden folder on my phone full of porn, and I need an app that can show hidden folders and do slideshows. And, ideally, not be botnetted/riddled with ads.
QuickPic
Quickpic old version before it was acquired by cheeta mobile
LeafPic, but it lacks slideshow feature, so u'll not be able to jerk-off properly.

>>55606131
>good
>cheap
>laptop
Pick two, and only two.
>>55606164
what would you recommend thats not uber expensive? i wasnt gonna use it for gaming or anything, just movies and music. i would like something that looked decent and ran fast, as well as having decent storage. i dont really need anything else
>>55606193
>>/tpg/ , mate
i also have a work elitebook 2560p, it's also nice
What should I do with this /g/? Is there even anything I can do with it or is obsolete at this point?
Listen to music on it you fucking knob goblin, do you actually not know what to do with it?
>>55606083
Why would I do that when I already have all my music on my desktop and phone? It's only 1gb so there's no way it can fit all my music on it.
>>55606062
Sell it and buy an older iPod that can be rockboxed.
I posted this at 3AM last night so I'm posting it again in the hopes that it'll reach a new crowd
/diy/ didn't know how to help me so now I turn here out of desperation.
I'm attempting to install a car PC. Currently, I have the video out (composite) wired directly into where the backup camera connects (it is the only composite in in the car). According to the weird-ass motherfuckers that go to car forums, this is the best way to get video onto the monitor.
The only issue is, pic related happens. The image is distorted as fuck, warping in from the left side with degraded colors.
Does anybody know what might even cause this issue? The pi and the screen work fine apart from one another, but when connected shit gets fucked.
I can not find ANYTHING about this kind of interference ANYWHERE and it's seriously fucking me up, I've not been able to fix this for days.
>>55605976
Looks like an impedance issue.
The impedance of the composite video and the singal coming from the camera don't match, and you get a shitty picture.
a) Is there a way you can connect to the monitor digitally? HDMI from the rasp. pi to the monitor?
b) If not, try and get a video repeater, it may solve your issue.
I'm not exactly in EE, I'm mostly in IT, but this shit is caused by interference. Consult the manufacturer of the monitor if possible.
>>55605976
>>55606060
Oh, and by the way, I had the same issue with my CCTV system. Still haven't solved it.
When I connect the output of a camera to the TV RF converter and to the DVR at the same time, both go apeshit. Connecting to the DVR only - works, connecting only to the RF converter - works, but connecting to both? Fuck no.
I'll try borrowing a video distributor from someone and see if that helps.
>>55606060
>a) Is there a way you can connect to the monitor digitally? HDMI from the rasp. pi to the monitor?
Man I fuckin wish
Is there any way to measure or fix the impedance? I have a decent multimeter.
Contain /mixed reality/ and Magic Leap hype here. What we know so far is that its far superior to anything else and that google has billions invested in it.
Anyone have any other news?
gulp.
Is the hype really this low?
What is this?
>>55605932
This is the first time I've heard those words in that order.
Do you like my keyboard, /g/?
Does it contain any trails of semen?
>>55605912
>staggered
eww
Is that the sojourner keyboard?
Dear /g/
I need a reader cuz reading all these pdf's on my monitor is really annoying.
What I need is to
- read mostly technical pdf's (compsci, math, physics, etc.) (or convert them to epub if possible)
- has to be ez on the eyes (eink)
- budget up to €200
- is able to use pirated/torrented epub/pdfs without problems
using https://github.com/koreader/koreader, I'm thinking of the
>Kobo aura h2o 6.8 inch €180
best screen with best contrast
bad pdf support
>Pocketbook Inkpad 8 inch
big screen
better/decent pdf support
worse screen quality compared to above kobo
>Icarus Illumina XL 8 inch
big
best pdf support
worse screen quality
most expensive while not that much better
is Kindle a viable option? Can you hack that shit and circumvent their ecosystem?
I have a kobo glo hd, and while it's great for epubs and books it's terrible for pdfs. The same goes for all eink readers in my experience.
They're simply not fast enough to handle pdfs satisfactorily.
Converting to epub will be terrible.
Just get a basic 10-inch tablet.
>reading pdfs
>ereader
pick one and only one

lcd fucks mty eyes up f a m
comfort of reading is more important than ease of use atm for me

/g/: you must build a functional computer for <£100. Choose any hardware you like, but there are only 3 requirements. It must work, run Puppy Linux, and cost less than £100. shipping costs excluded!

Plus with all that extra money, you can get some decent other shit to make it nice.

Wait a second, I need to change my main e-mail password.
Why do people call windows/Google a botnet when you voluntarily give them your info AND they don't steal from you or do anything malicious
That's not a botnet, check your privilege nerds.

What's working at Google®™ like? How much is your soul worth? A free lunch, a massage and a handjob? Keep telling yourself you're making the world a better place while ignoring what actually happens in that world, cuckolds.
Any ya'll motherfucks still running it?
Also, how do you activate pic related?
Some anons are, which is fucking crazy because xp sucks so much cawk.
>>55605656
Running it on a really old/shitty core 2 duo pc.
The PC is now just a glorified server. I can't look at XP with rosy eyes anymore when I try to use it in 2016.
Finally
Should use a proprietary connector to extort more money from retards.

Doesn't mean Apple won't blacklist anyone but whoever they source their SSDs from.
Can't have people going around thinking they're in charge of Apple devices.

Who Cares?
Can someone explain these graphs to me please?
>>55605593
Yes. It's like dicks. Longer is better.
Very simple, are you people retarded?
