Could you be being tracked across websites?
4chan uses Google analytics and that's known to track people using cookies and fingerprinting techniques.
Even if you block analytics tracking could be hidden in CAPTCHA code or 4chan GUI code.
Would you want your friends knowing you browse 4chan? Would you want a potential employer knowing?
Studies have shown that Google can track you across nearly 80% of the top 100 million sites.
They're using advanced fingerprinting...

Panopticlick is fucking garbage now. Unblocking sites that say they honor Do Not Track is a terrible idea, and Panopticlick has no way to tell if I'm scrambling my fingerprint for each site every few minutes (which I am)
>>55167659
Scrambling your fingerprint only works if you never use the same fingerprint on 2 different websites.
>>55167933
why is that? If you scramble your fingerprint for a certain site then that site has fingerprint A. If you visit with fingerprint B wouldnt the site only have fingerprint B. or am i thinking about this all wrong
Firefox really has become bloated over the years, are there any other browser alternatives that cater to my autism?
I really like the look and feel of Midori but it keeps fucking crashinggggggggggggggg
IceCat, for the ultimate in autism.

Vivaldi. It's a browser designed by former Opera employees for power users.

Don't lie, /g/.
Mine is 57, but im pretty drunk right no so that could be why it is so bad. Usually it is around 70-80. I also don't type formally. I move my fingers all around the keyboard and shit.

who does that? at first i thought this was some cool browser based exploit, but noooo.
>The 1,000 processors canexecute 115 billion instructions per second while dissipating only 0.7 Watts, low enough to be powered by a single AA battery...more than 100 times more efficiently than a modern laptop processor... The energy-efficient "KiloCore" chip has a maximum computation rate of 1.78 trillion instructions per second and contains 621 million transistors.

Das it mane
What instruction set?
Finally they get the Kilocore concept to the full 1000. Been hoping to see them get that for years.
Linux is beautiful
>>55166785
Not sure if you're being sarcastic.
The kernel has nothing to do with a filesystem layout. Even some GNU/Linux distros change the layout to make it seem better to users.
Looks good to me.

But funtoo is better.
So, Thinkpad was bought out by Lenovo, which by my understanding is a cheap Chinese shit company.
Where can you find a good laptop for >500USD now? Seems like if you want anything that isn't a piece of shit you need to run into the thousands.
Dell do a really good $800 laptop with an i5 + GTX 960M.
A laptop for greater than 500 USD? An Apple store

I fucked up, I meant < 500USD.
I am retarded.
How can I detect a bottleneck?
Whether it's the CPU, RAM, GPU, HDD, etc, I just want to see what's stopping my computer from getting the best possible performance.
Put all the cables through different funnels. Any bits that flow out of the tunnel means that is the bottleneck.
put all your parts in a bathtub full of milk (the fat will prevent the parts from breaking), everything that starts floating is a bottleneck.

G3 macs were quite nice though, especially compared to other machines of its time.

Everything is yellow. Feels strange and old fashioned.

Light bulb collecting is going to take off in a few years, I just know it.
Dell vs. Lenovo
Who makes the better mid range laptop?
>>55166238
neither, both uses out dated crap and sell them to you at retarded high mark ups

Sony.

When are these setups going to make a retro comeback? They're pretty aesthetic

Never, i fucking hope, you goddamn autist.

Nostalgic but very unappealing to look at. I don't miss the insane eye strain I got from looking at CRT monitors.
