What is the most effective steps that someone who is not technologically gifted can easily follow to obtain maximum security against hackers?
What I can think of is,
1. Use Linux or Mac OS. Avoid Windows.
2. Do not install what you do not trust: Common Sense 2016.
3. Do not connect to suspicious networks.
4. ...
Please expound on this list. Keep adding entries you can think of.
I will make the end result of the list into pastebin.
Then we can just give the link to newbies who come here crying asking for tech support.
Let's go.

Yes, the main reason I started using Linux if because I got pwned. When I already was on Linux I got craaazy and downloaded everthing I could because it was retard easy and very safe. Even connecting to other networks was relatevly safe, IF you have hardened your browser.
So I would advice.
1. Get Linux.
2. Get Firefox addons.
>>55226156
1 & 2 are the same thing.
>Don't trust or install malware/windows because common sense, and use osx / install linux because common sense.
hey /g/uys,
could you suggest java books for a c++ developers?
can't really think of a textbook that has an angle for C++ developers. nor can i think of a reason why you would need one. Should be good to go with any textbook fammo as it will be the familiar C syntax you know and love. If you are starting fresh with Java I'd recommend to approach it learning Java 8. Java 8 in Action is a textbook I used to learn the Java 8 stuff and it should be good for someone new to the Java world.
Also next time consider checking the wiki first or posting in the "Questions that don't deserve their own thread" which should...

Yes, the best book is called "Why the Fuck Would You Willingly Use Java; Use C#" by Rob Johnson

Hello /g/
So I just to third world country and found a mini laptop in my room I just finished disassembling it (I attempted to turn it on and to charge it but nothing would work)
I'm a mech. Eng. And have very little knowledge when I comes to software and an average knowledge on hardware (computer)....
So what should I do...
Sorry for my grammar mistakes...
I'm typing on my phone and I'm very tiered (jet lag)
>>55226120
Find the owner and send it to him in the current state.
>>55226151
I don't know whose it is
And its too late
I think he must of assumed it was broken so he left it ...
I was scared it was a bomb when I was disassembling but my curiosity got the best of me

How do I use mpv's built in anti-ringing shader?

It's pretty much the only player that can play 1080p stuff with fancy subs on this laptop without completely shitting itself.
how can i get the OSD to display when I'm not in a game. It gives me peace of mind when to always have my temps monitored.
MSI Afterburner -> Make temps show in notification bar
>>55225971
hmm ill see if i can find out what u r talking about
>>55225971
thats just a tiny # in the tray displaying the GPU temp. BHonestly i want to see the CPU temp primarily but I prefer the temps off all the components up in the corner like I can with Rivatuner.,..
So if /g/ likes Richard Stallman, even if it is on an ironic-unironic spectrum, how come you guys use non-free linux distros.
>>55225902
This is a serious question. I see a lot of people running arch, debian, or ubuntu but none running blag or ututo. Does no one on this board care about truly free software?
>>55226054
I unironnicaly (?) care about it, except nonfree JS, I use Trisquel.
>>55225902
I, for one, like and try to stick more often than not to what RMS says, because he is right in so many aspects, but, when functionalty comes into play we end up crashing with that wall that says: Hey you are not a emeritus phd doctor who travels around the world giving lectures and sleeping in followers couches.

Who else here /unironic use of ed/?
i use notepad++

Who the FUCK thought pulseaudio was a better idea than alsa? Just fuck these hacks. Back to slackware I go.
Oh wait, slackware now has pulseaudio, too!
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>55225753
why do you hate women?
>>55225753
You can still install ALSA and remove pulse. If it helps, funtoo has a -pulseaudio USE flag.

Doesn't mean it's not going to go full retard in a couple of years
/g/, how come pacman's upgrade process is very quick, but apt's is very slow? It's the one thing holding me back from Debian.
>>55225744
>pacman
>just fuck my shit up mang, who cares about dependencies? upgrade everything!
>apt
>we gotta check everything twice to make sure nothing breaks!
>>55225771
PPPPPPPPFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT! Oh shit! I haven't laughed that hard in ages.
Its because pacman is an efficiently made program with superior logistics and organization compared to apt.
It's like trying to empty a water bin with a hose and pump vs using a straw and manually sucking.
I think this movie really nails how life in the tech world really is. are there more /g/ approved movies?
idiocracy
this movie really highlights how irrelevant intelligence is for survival
technological advances can truly come to a halt and not much would change
Jobs.
>>55225738
what do you expect should change? technological progress is not necessary but increases chances for survival (of the species) in the long run. for the longest time in human history there was only a really slow progress. realistically, we could stall for 10000 years and nothing would change.
Why Win3.1 UI is so based?

I am curious to know as well, because to me it doesn't appear based at all.

fucking autist
I mean it's not a terrible thing to do. Anything you type into the address bar is saved to the auto recommendations. I find it annoying when I'm typing a URL in and see search suggestions, so I never use the address bar to search google.
Here's some interesting information /g/.
If the OC leaks about the 480 are true and you can get 1.6GHz on stock cooler (around 25% performance increase), and the non OCed card is around 980 performance, then if you take the frame rates of the 980 in pic related and add 25% of that number on, then the result is 90% of the 1070's performance.
This is just speculation on speculation though, so take it as you will.

That could be even more with an aftermarket cooler
Anyone have a list on what windows 7 updates to avoid?
