Guys, any temporary phone number thing that can be used to verify posts on CL? I don't wanna use my own number.
>>55003171
Google Voice, fucking idiot
>>55003188
That is not very nice.
>>55003188
And this still requires me to give google my number, I don't want to do that either.

Are function keys deprecated?
>>55003025
Nobody uses function keys but rapey sweaty nerds.
Of course not, they're great when you run out of easy to remember emacs key bindings.

I love my Western Digital drive.
I've had it for 5 years, and it's almost constantly been running.
Never had a single problem.
Although, I think I'm due for an upgrade since the capacity is quite low.
Best drives thread?
I had a 1.5TB seagate last me almost 7 yrs. This drive was used in my server which stays on 24/7. Drive date code listed as 09/3/17. Failure date was early this year.
Yeah my western digital drive has been in use for about 6 months and I think it's shitting the bed. I can't be bothered to take a screenshot becuase my computer is currently running encredibly slowly.

Thinking of getting dual monitors.
Any suggestions?

>how can i tell if someone is watching me jack off and listening ot my conversations?
if your computer has a built in webcam+mic and you haven't taped over it, just kys
years ago a kid hacked them so the firmware can be altered not to turn the light on when recording
I've got my eyes on you, Marcus.
>tfw my gtx 680 runs like shit
>tfw it's even worse than my friends HD7970 which he paid less for
Can't wait for the 480x or 490 to be released, I need the upgrade from a company that won't stop optimising my gpu because it needs a new architecture every year.
Fuck you nvidia.
>he fell for the nvidia meme
I've never had any problems with the 750m in my laptop. It's the only Nvidia card I own, but still. You're looking at a difference of 3 fps in one game... Not much to complain about.
>>55002889
>7970 was more than 10% behind the 680 on launch
>now it's more than 10% faster
Hell, even the 7950 is starting to edge out the 680...
Anybody else glad this shit is finally gone?

Indifferent, I don't use Chrome
>>55002730
When you get used to it it wasn't that bad. More convenient than opening chrome,
>>55002730
Indifferent, I turned that shit off after two seconds of using it.
Hello fellow geeks i need some advice
Ive been into pc gaming for probably 6 years. Right now im using a dell xps 8300 with an hd 6450 in it. It can only run older games and alot of cool games came out recently so im deciding to upgrade. I found this beauty at only $800. Should i get this or should i keep looking. Here are the specs:
>Intel i5-6300HQ 2.3 GHz Quad-Core (6M Cache, Turbo up to 3.2 GHz)
>NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M 4GB GDDR5
>8 GB DDR3L / 256 GB Solid-State Drive
>15.6-Inch FHD IPS, Wide-Angle, Anti Glare Screen
for 800 dollars you could build a desktop that could max out pretty much any game
>>55002623
If not prohibited by space. Just build a nice matx desktop for that price anon. Then you can steamlink into it to play your visual novels on the go.
>>55002654
>>55002689
The thing is i know how to build a pc but i cant discern which parts to buy. I dont know what goes together and what doesn't.
Im trying to decide which Gtx 1080 I should purchase now that aftermarket versions have been released. I was originally going to get the Msi gaming x version, but it is going for $720 on newegg. So which partner card has the best performance? Asus Strix, Gigabyte G1, or EVGA FTW edition? All are $650-680
>>55002563
Nvidia a shit. Wait for 480x and crossfire that shit.
>>55002576
No I've already decided I'm going with the 1080. Ive played the waiting game long enough.
>>55002563
A lot of the third party coolers aren't even out yet. I'm waiting for the price to deflate after all the next gen stuff is out
I was wondering what you guys use. It's not bad on mobile, but I won't have a pc in the foreseeable future, saw somebody using one once but forgot what it was called.
