Whats the best precompiled meme distro?

Antergos
Yes.

Installing arch is very simple, it's just retyping commands and it gives you some idea of how Linux works.
When I first discovered Linux when I was 14 I installed Gentoo and it was a great learning experience. I loved the fact that I built the pc and the software, I knew exactly how everything worked. It was that moment when everything clicked and I knew this is what I want to do for the rest of my life.
Look what I've just found with a bit of site Googling.

Well well well. RX470?
Not bad, really. What does GTX 980 SLI get?
>cpu can be overclocked
Doesn't this just mean factory settings are underclocked?
>>55107361
No.
>>55107361
Yes.
>>55107361
Those are tested, safe settings.
If your dumbass goes over the tested amount you have only yourself to blame when it fucks up.

TL;DR
Intel and NSA have a rootkit to your Intel processor and you can't audit it.
>>55107303
Duh. This has been the case for a decade. AMD have been doing it too for the past few years. The FX series is the last safe CPU to buy.

you may notice that ever since 9/11 tin foil hasn't been available in most stores. it's almost all aluminum foil, which basically doesn't block EM waves at all.
why do you think that is?

Can we talk about Tor /g/?
I hear a lot of anons claiming the inefficacy of Tor but I rarely see any strong evidence or any non-theoretical evidence for such statements. Sure, exit nodes control your info. Sure the government might own enough exit nodes and relays to catch the entire chain of your data. But in reality, used in conjunction with, say, Tails and a VPN (encrypt first, pass through Tor, then exit through VPN), is not one more or less protected? Sure there are many ways a dedicated enough individual or group can follow the breadcrumbs but even from the documented...

tor literally does nothing, it's just a meme kid

>Kaspersky explains the gang utilized hijacked Wi-Fi connection nodes, VPNs and Tor while infiltrated servers so they could conceal their actual Internet Protocol address during attacks on organizations. The servers sometimes were of different telecom and information technology firms of Russia.
That is the only mention of Tor in that article you fucking shill. It doesn't even mention how they got caught. For all we know the Russians followed the wired money and put pressure...

Wow they even used stolen wifi to use tor and they STILL got caught.
Either Tor really is a meme or they were just really careless.
$399 when 480 drops
>>55107086
Would this matter when the RX480 OC would be within a hair's reach of FuryX/980ti?
>Significantly Higher wattage use then rx480
Nvidia won't send graphic driver updates on cards over 3 years. Looks like the 980 has 1 year of updates left.
In short RX480 > Gtx980ti for less then half it's costs once it gets a proper driver update

Fuck this shit. I have a headache from tracing so much assembly. I've been writing Python over the weekends so I can remember what programming actually feels like.

How often do these get you?
Why can't computers just count up from 1 like people? 0 isn't even a number. If it was, we'd have 11 fingers.
Don't trust me near your arrays or offsets. I always get them wrong.
Plenty of algorithms wouldn't even work if your array indices started from 1.
Not that often, since I'm used to 0 indexed arrays. But you can always use Fortan, OP.

I play DCSS

I write stories for the shadowrun universe and never actually make them playable because I'm totally lazy.

What's it like OP? Like nethack where you just try to go deeper and survive? Or does it have quests?
Any other features worth mentioning?
>>55107060
>nethack where you just try to go deeper and survive
Nethack has a very clear goal. You've gotta go down to a certain level, grab a few artifacts on the way, then find a certain thing that takes you to hell/heaven and do some other bullshit including fucking someone up, and then you ascend and become a god.
Or you can go the easy way and just aim to recover the magic amulet, which is technically your main (and only) goal.
Asus and Msi accused of sending out modified 1070/80 to the press.
Is this normal practice?
If you are buying Nvidia or AMD will you still buy from these two manufactures?
http://videocardz.com/61121/asus-and-msi-accused-of-sending-modified-cards-to-the-press
Like that's going to make any difference, and you could just overclock it anyway.
How fucking retarded are you niggers anyway? This is common practice and it's done to be able to differentiate the pre-release cards from retail.
>>55106860
Then why lie in the first place if its no difference? Also my card can OC but I leave it at stock. Not everyone over clocks.
>>55106838
I have no doubt that Nvidia and their partners would like to manipulate reviewers but this is just way too small of a clock speed difference to even be worth the effort. It's a ~1.5% clock speed advantage.
