so whats safer...
downloading from torrents or downloading from websites like zippyshare or other similar sites?
obviously from a trusted site not just some random torrent or link to a movie from a weird site youve never visited.
my best friend was contacted by his internet provider because his roommate was downloading movies. never happened to me before though.
where do you guys download all your stuff from?

Can someone please explain to me the appeal iPhone has to tech illiterates? People are still lining up to buy the pieces of shit even without a headphone port or they just buy last year's version if they find out.
It's a luxury, premium product.

Or rather just apple technology in general since the new macbooks have an awful keyboard and touchpad.

RX 560? Basically equal to the 1050, only difference is power consumption
Wait for Nvidia Volta GV107 GTX 2050 Ti
RX560 2GB
hello
I need to reinstall Windows because it broke. I had Windows 7. Should I go for 10 or should I just put 7 on it again? Is 10 still pure shit or has it improved according to you?
>>61584389
Meh, stay in 7, I wouldn't call it straight up horse shit but it just doesn't feel as good as 7 was.
Can't believe shitcrosoft hasn't addressed the stupid amount of bugs you get when you hook up a 4k monitor.
>>61584389
install gentoo
>>61584492
I do have a 4k tv (although I still don't watch much 4k content) so thanks for the warning.
Guess I'll stay on 7 a while longer.
Btw how easy is it to get 10, not the entry level version, for 'free' now? Still much more complicated than 7?
Why are thinkpads the more popular business class laptops when Elitebooks are the better choice?
Tradition
>>61584194
because x220 and t420 are literally the best and comfy notebooks out in the wild
wish i was cool enough to own a thinkpad and code it up with some g bros
Why the fuck hasn't it happened yet?

So why do flash games run like trash these days?
>>61583871
That's a linux distro right? Use feh --bg-center filename
There are other options in the feh manpage.

What if I do also enjoy edm and the occasional Kanye track?
Recently, I've been getting super into Yunomi's stuff. Will I still enjoy it?
data cap hate thread.
just got this notification about my data usage. i'd rather live anywhere other than fucking here.
>>61583481
Find a place with a local ISP that aren't jews and go live there.
>>61583503
There's hardly any place left in the US that doesn't have data caps.
The ones that don't have shitty speeds.
>>61583534
I live in rural SC with a local ISP (home telecom) that runs fiber to the home that gives 50mbps for $65 and gigabit for $150 with no cap, even after using several terabytes a month, no throttling
Rust or Swift?
Which language do you think is smarter and generally better.
inb4 apple/mozilla haters.
> Rust or Swift
Pajeet detected.
>>61583322
Neither, I hate Java like the plague but it's still miles better than those two piles of shit.
Rust is far more versatile. Swift, albeit much better for productivity, is practically nonexistent outside Apple's platforms because the open source community doesn't care enough about it to write useful libraries.
That said, I still wouldn't use Rust in most cases. I'd rather write an equivalent Go program in 1/4 of the time.

Apple does it again, I'm impressed.
Sorry, explain for a layman.
>>61582978
Apple is joining this gay little fad of making shitty screens just so their annual refresh has an actual difference.
Just buy last year's device, as per usual.
