Where were you when Zen was kill?
Where were you when AMD was kill?

Fucking waiting game, I'm losing in it.
If they just hold products forever then when they do finally come out they won't be very fast anymore. The world moves forward. Give us something.
They should just release it, Intel gets away with massive bugs and errata every gen.
Opera version 38 is out.

Why are chinese firms constantly throwing on meaningless features to spy on their users in softwarw?

What, you'd rather give money to Google and sjws over at Mozilla? Opera is built and developed by Europeans, Poles especially.
It supports webp, yay.
>>54977476
firecuck doesn't support webp, fuck off you mega cuck.
need an office suite on linux
should i trust chinkware, or should i stick with the heap of shit that is libreoffice?
>>54977401
I don't know what is this, but LibreOffice fully suffices my needs.
>>54977401
Depends on what you want to do with it...
I don't know WPS, but here is my experience with LO of what works and what not.
- creating simple texts like letters or assignments you don't care to much about. Works
- creating homeworks or bachelor thesis. Works. If the kerning pisses of the prof, even better.
- creating semantical styled rich text: It's actually a nightmare in every office and other software, as there is no proper rich text semantical highlighted software dedicated to it.
- tables: works, as long as you don't rely too much on VBA macros
- presentations: somewhat works as long you don't care for compability, buggy though, so if you do this often
About the rest, I don't know, but who knows if this WPS covers this.
There is literally nothing wrong with LibreOffice.
I just bought a new open box puter on eBay. What steps should I take to make sure it's safe to use? I don't want any spyware or stuff like that. I'll factory reset if I have to.
Pls halp

Clean install Windows, make sure you have all the drivers you need beforehand.
I just installed windows 10 in a p4 to bitch around can someone give me the best way to "remove botnet" so I can test if it keeps sending shit to MS?
I had to resize your image OP. Please forgive me.

Look at the file size
Absolutely overpriced hipster trash tech tools. Soft as baby shit tool tips that get blunt under real use.
Don't worry OP, I got you covered.

only tech tool ive used in my life is my nail

Always buy from the Germans. The Nazis make good stuff.

Why do people freak out the second they encounter any sort of computer trouble? Windows and most softwares hold your hand through every step but people can't be assed to read what's in front of them.

shit, that's pretty deep, anon
Opinions on Nylas
Beautiful and functional. It should take the mantle of the premier open source mail client from Thunderbird since TB development is apparently stagnating.
Literally the best mail client. Electron apps are the future. Don't let these /g/entoomen tell you it sucks because JavaScript.
>>54977209
Looks pretty good, going to give it a try. Thanks, anon!
I am pretty sure this was already discussed but I really wanted to read people opinions nowadays.
I am planning to dual boot Windows and Linux. I would be using Windows for playing games and Linux for general use like browsing, coding, watching streams and etc. My question is: Which version of Windows should I use nowadays? I read around mixed opinions, some say it's better to go with Windows 7 and some say Windows 10 Enterprise is okay to use.
What is /g/ opinion?
>>54977007
8.1
8.1 is the last good windows. make sure to run gwx control panel or never10
>>54977007
I would recommend Windows 7, but it depends if you are going to use Win8-only programs.
DirectDraw in the Win8 is shit so old games will be running awfully slow.
what the fuck is this?
>>54976983
not linux
>>54976983
this is fucking garbage. why does it take up so much memory?
>>54977006
cause it's a buggy, bloated botnet piece of shit this isn't 2011 anymore
the only decent browser left is safari
RX480 leaked benchmarks
>>54976978
HOLY SHIT!
Wow nice scaling
It's over 2x better!
Nvidiots on suicide watch!! XD
/g/ humor thread
Most of these are shit so dish out at least somewhat decent stuff
>>54976921
I love these
So the store I usually buy from has the Dell U2417H for 220€. Kept searching and couldn't find it for lower than 275€, so I took the chance and ordered 2 to replace my current 22' tv-only-working-as-a-monitor and 17' secondary monitor. How bad did I fuck up and where could I find a better price?
>Inb4 1080p 60hz
>Inb4 pls
That's a good price.
>>54976911
No idea.
Some time ago I bought a 1080p IPS LED LG monitor.
Now my eyes suffer.
>>54976943
What do you mean by that?
I talked to an engineer yesterday and he told me the ARM architecture is better than Intel's x86 in every single aspect: energy consumption, etc.
If this is true, why don't desktop PCs use RISC / ARM processors?
>>54976851
ARM64 is gonna take a while to become popular.
Whenever Raspberry Pi 3 gets proper support for 64-bit, we'll see the the situation improve.
>>54976851
>he told me the ARM architecture is better than Intel's x86 in every single aspect
He was either lying or an idiot. The truth is not that simple, neither is inherently better than the other. I could waffle on about the differences between different CPU designs all day and how very irrelevant the instruction set is in the greater scheme of all this but it would suffice to say that this is a very, very broad topic deserving several books to address properly.
>>54976851
The no1 OS on the market does not support ARM therefore OEMs dont produce ARM pcs in the same volume they produce x86_64 pcs.
>>54976922
I understand where you are coming from but one thing ARM has is that it doesn't have to carry around all that legacy nonsense around with it
Comodo Fag here, it's pretty bloated with HIPS, Snadboxin' and other bullshit built in, also has built in Facebook and Twitter shit, but at least it blocks. I'd like to find something more lightweight then this if possible, but I want to have more control over outbound and have a better GUI then Windows built in one. (Shit also admitted to being a Windows Fag).
Anything better? What does /g/ use?
In before botnets.
OPNsense for your network firewall.
Panda for your host firewall.
Windows Firewall is not bad actually, you just have to remember to always respond "this is a public network" to OS inquiries when you connect to a new one.
Any opinions for GlassWire? Looks good, seems to be a front end for Windows own built in one, but with better interface and with lots of information in graph form.
I do wonder how much RAM and CPU it'll take up with all of its logging, also free version seems to be gimped compared to the paid one.
>>54976763
Como is pretty NEAT but so heavy. For old computer tinywall is a good option.
>twitter and facebook
Well comodo is a software to normalfags.
>Windows Firewall
I can wrong ,but is comodo, panda and tinywall just a better GUI for Windows Firewall?
