Why did the Blu Ray drives failed on PC? At this rate there won't be any retail PC games left.
>>54957558
Piracy stole all it's sales.
>>54957558
Because they cost as much as a standalone blu-ray player and retards never thought to make one that only plays blu-rays rather than write/rewrite them.
Downloading stuff is so much more convenient and anyone that wants to use physical copies of games plays on console anyways.
This thread is about the appreciation of watches, as well as the micro-engineering and materials engineering that is required to make a fine watch.

way to let the general die without starting a new one fags
can anyone speak to the quality of "Borealis" watches? is it some fly by night brand or decent?
i'm interested in pic related: borealis sea hawk. it has a 4r36 so movement should be fine, can anyone speak to the quality of the brand or build quality?
>>54956164
different pic to show double domed sapphire crystal; i don't know if the crystal jutting out that much is a good or bad thing
Be it fans or white noise machines, what kind of technology do you use to help you sleep?
I use a Lectrofan on white noise setting one.

Anyone care to rate my planned first build?
http://pcpartpicker.com/user/lbazyaka/saved/fgg8TW
I don't care about not needing that much RAM
Also don't care that I won't be able to use freesync with Nvidia card
Just wanna know if the list is ok

Will require you to wait till the end of the month but it is better than your other build
After reading about Win10's datamining, I've been looking into alternatives. Has anyone here had experience with ReactOS? Was it what you expected?
if you have Windows XP era driver it's a solution
>>54954308
I played around with it a little bit, to see if I could run some stuff we use at work on it instead of continuing with a now-unsupported Windows XP. (Boss is being cheap and won't spring for a newer OS on existing machines, never mind new machines.)
Some of the prerequisites (.NET and/or some other framework) refuse to install because, as far as it can tell, Automatic Updates aren't turned on. If ReactOS can more convincingly tell software running on it A) that it's Windows, and B) things like those update and security settings are what they need, it'll start to be a little more useful. But until then, either live with Windows or use Linux.
>>54954378
That's unfortunate to hear, are there any tips for blocking the data mining in 10? Like some list of M$ servers that can be blocked via hosts?

Nope. Can't take car through narrow streets of pre-car cities.
Sell me on your mITX case of choice. I've decided to downsize as I travel quite a bit.
I am planning on getting the RX 480 if AMD isn't lying about the power consumption. So it would need to fit that.
I currently have a CM Hyper 212+, but can go to a stock or low profile cooler if necessary to fit case. I don't OC my CPU at all anymore really.

No expansion card slots, just a PCIe16. Cute.

Welcome to /fglt/. We are always open to users of all levels, including absolute beginners.
There are four ways to try GNU/Linux, you can:
0) Install a GNU/Linux OS on a VM (Virtual Machine/VirtualBox) for "safety purposes"
1) Use the Live ISO directly without installing anything, that way, you can get a "full GNU/Linux experience".
2) Dual-boot GNU/Linux with Windows/Mac (recommended if you want to learn more about GNU/Linux)
3) Go balls deep and overwrite everything with GNU/Linux
Before asking, please search for answers to your questions in resources.
Please be civil, notice the "Friendly" in every Friendly GNU/Linux Thread.
Understand that much of your software from Windows will be unavailable, although maybe WINE can make up for it.

Which one do you use and why?
Learning Vim recently. Tried Emacs, but the keyboard shortcuts didn't really appeal to me the way Vims do.
It is a shallow reason for picking one editor over another b/c the keys can be mapped to whatever you want.
Honestly, both are so customizable at this point they are basically equal in power. The editor wars of the early 90s are basically over and it resulted in a stalemate.
Vim, I'm almost always working on a remote test box over ssh
Why hasn't 4chan adopted WebP yet?
It seems like a very good image format now widely support by almost all browsers. It supports lossy encoding, transparency, animation, and even lossless encoding. Why would 4chan NOT adopt this image format?
Are there fees that I don't know about that 4chan must pay to WebP creators or something that I don't know about?
Because hiroyuki is fucking clueless
Fuck off shill
>>54949411
Isn't webp free?
What computer case do have or want /g/?
Want a source 210 to but my fm2+ board in
Help me I'm poor
I love you OP
I want something that's like an R4/R5 but doesn't have shit build quality and plastics but isn't just a hunk of metal like Lian Li.
I have a windowed R5.

There is absolutely no excuse for a six hundred -fucking-dollar card to have these kind of thermal issues in 2016. Literally none.
>reference card
Again, a buttblasted poor AMDshill
This card shows it's a piece shit. Have to run fans at at least 90% to get decent temps. OC is out the window.
Nvidia is kill
The people who fell for the Founders Edition meme deserve it desu.

Looks pretty cool. I would derived if there will be an international version with exynos chipset. Battery life would be amazing.
