My monitor is shitting out. It's still usable but not worth keeping anymore. And it's been frustrating, so instead of throwing it out I want to destroy it as gloriously as possible.
Ideas?

It's a picture from google. Mine is an actual monitor.
>>54851058
make a termite bomb.
Basically make termite, then put a charge of black powder in the core.
Place the monitor in the middle of the EU parliament and put the bomb under it.
For extra effect put a load of nails inside the termite. they will glow from the heat and make nice sparks during the explosion.
Plus, you get mad props by the EU for arranging such a spectacle.
you are welcome.
Im looking at getting a new version of firefox, or at least a newer then what i have version.
Haven't used firefox in years, but chrome keeps shitting out on me so I want to see if i can move back to firefox or not.
I don't know what forks are good
I don't know what forks there are
I don't know where to start
I just know normal firefox is likely not the best option.
Anyone able to help out, and able to tell me of any new extensions or features that have been added in the last 3 years.
>>54851022
Normal firefox is fine if you adjust some settings (like disable pocket and hello in about:config and turn off start menu ads) and install the right addons
Personally I use iceweasel which is almost the same.
If you want it to be safe out of the box maybe try icecat. It's good but I disagree with a couple of its addon choices and it follows the ESR firefox release which is too outdated for me personally
>>54851065
Will ESR fuck me over with normal web use?
I value stability over bleeding edge so long as my shit works, I currently have Cyberfox 22 installed, and most shit won't work with it because it's too old.
There is also the shit where if I open a bunch of tabs, it uses resources, but if I close them all it doesn't give everything back.
Any info I find is dated so I'm relying on 4chan right now.
Pale Moon is the best option currently.

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.

I just boot to KDE plasma 4 and it is god-tier. How did they fuck this amazing DE up?
>KDE 4
>God Tier
You're a mong.
>>54851005
Yeah, KDE 4 was nice. But KDE 5 is on a new level; it's beautiful and functional in a way GNOME can only dream of.
>>54851025
Stable
looks and feels great
doesn't hand or eat up every single bit or system resource.
What else do you want?
AMD is finished.
>>54850970
> implying amd live
So are AMD fanboys brainless or what?
2xGPU with 57% utilization match a single GTX1080.
57% utilization then the game is pretty much running off 1 card, 1 card should be able to match the GTX1080 then.
So what was the point of using two cards?
And lets not go into the image quality being lower on the AMD side.

>And lets not go into the image quality being lower on the AMD side.
it's literally the other way around

I tried renting Fellowship of the Ring from the iTunes Store. I accidentally interrupted the download. Now, whenever I try to resume, it tells me to go to the downloads tab to manage my downloads. When I go there, it says I have no downloads pending. I looked up how long it takes for a movie rental to expire, and apparently it's thirty days until it goes away if I don't start watching it. Seeing as I CANT start watching it, I'm absolutely fucked. Putting aside being ripped off $2.99, it's just sitting there taking up 2gb of my 16gb (I know, poor as hell.) Someone please help.
Saddest post of the day.

Hi /g/
Is there a totally wireless router where I can receive WiFi signals from a modem and transmit them to multiple devices?
Will a Raspberry Pi work?
Should I just build my own?
Also the option of Mac address changing when receiving WiFi is needed
Thanks
>>54850940
Yes its called an Access Point
It's called a wireless access point. Most routers can be configured to act as one. If you want a low-power solution to run on battery then I guess a Pi could do it.
>>54850957
most good AP's will run from POE
Is the multi-monitor meme true? Or just a merchant gimmick?
Would you go for a higher resolution single tile or a lower resolution multi-monitor?
3 1080ps vs single 1440p or 4k
I'm guessing dual-monitors doesn't have much use in gayming.
I just went ultrawide
>>54850939
My dual setup is useful at work, but I still use a single 1080p one at home. I'm thinking about upgrading to 1440p, though.
>>54850939
Currently using 3 1080p monitors and loving it. Would never go back to 2 now.
What's the lifespan of these niggers?
I got mined at least over 4 years ago if not 6 or so more years ago. It's that long I'm not even sure desu. Thing is, just now I turned my Laptop on and the light under the scroll wheel (the light on the left in the pic) comes on, but the other lights and functions aren't working at all.
The mouse clicks don't work, the scrolling, the logo fading light doesn't come on and most importantly the led light isn't coming on either.
Has it finally died or mayhaps there is some issue?
Mine broke in 2 years. No abuse or anything. Shit tier mice.

There is no better router OS for you router hardware! Upgrade your router with OpenWRT now. It's still better and more comfy. Or you even want to tell me there is something better? Protip: You can't.
RouterOS or pfSense über alles
>>54851807
I have RouterOS on all my network devices. Mikrotik is a beast
>>54851807

they pushed an upgrade that I have to install, thanks for reminding me

Perfect Analogy. Many kekkles.
For fellow Canadian anons
The EVGA 1080 FTW is $884
Should we expect any of the upcoming aftermarket cards to be any cheaper?
>>54850658
$884 canadian dollars?? thats pertty cheap anon.
>>54850658
isn't 1 CAD like 0.6 USD? that's very cheap then
>>54850689
Yeah its the price on Memory Express right now.
Contemplating ordering it but, unsure whether to wait for the price of MSI's and such to compare
I can't imagine it going below $850 CAD.
Friendly reminder that if you haven't upgraded to Windows 10 yet, you're a luddite.
