it's been probably 5 or 6 years since I bothered having it installed but I have a decent graphics card and play video games less often that it deserved, so I'm gonna reinstall BOINC
what projects should I run? are there any active teams from 4chan? I used to be on the 420chan team back in the day, I was king motherfucker there for like a week because most people were still using CPUs and I was running my screaming fast Radeon 4770
distributed computing is basically dead

I guess, seems like nobody give much of a shit these days, which sucks because we're not far from using supercomputers compared to 10 years ago

Why is everyone freaking out about the 120 Hz screen? I don't get it. What do people do with iPads? You're either browsing the web/apps or watching video. How do either of those benefit from this?
Unless everyone is drawing and playing games all day on the iPads, I don't get it. Shills?
>>60954385
>I don't get it. Shills?
The shills are MS
No way Apple shills here
>>60954385
The iPad pro is commonly used for drawing. If you were to just browse the web or watch videos, youd get the regular iPad. Lots of artists actually like their iPad pro for drawing.
Let''s talk about software. What is the most important software in use currently? What are the coolest projects you've worked on? Any cool facts or insights?

didn't you hear?
this is /g/ - Consumerism.
We used to have
>Presto
>Webkit
>Blink
>Gecko
>Tridant
Now we only have
>Blink
>Tridant
>Gecko (Maybe one day servo, but it will replace not be in addition to)
We're racing back towards the IE6 monopoly days and nobody is saying anything.
>>60954336
WebKit's still a thing.

Bought a grey market phone so the charger sent was a chink one.
is it bad or does shit get fucked up if I use one of these travel adaptor things long term?
>>60954177
if it's okay with being fed whatever mains voltage and frequency is where you are, yeah, go ahead and just use a plug adapter. Some of those things are kinda dodgy but it's really hard for something to go wrong when you have a phone charger that's drawing a measly ten watts or so.
>>60954177
Adapters in general can be fine, but I'd be wary of whatever shitty ones the chinks give you for free. If it's anything like the last one I got which arcs continuously inside the socket, then it's not worth the housefire risk.
>>60955086
ok I may just buy my own one.
any brands in particular to check out?
Long story short, windows photo thing is broken as fuck and I don't feel like fixing it.
What image viewer do you recommend /g/?

I was looking at this one. It worth it?

Thanks for the info, not a big internet protocol and ect type of guy
I need a computer that can be used as a desktop for 90% of the time, but is also a laptop for traveling. Why shouldn't I get this beautiful puppy, with a dock and monitor?
Currently using a 2010 iMac and a 2011 Macbook Pro and I've simply had enough.
>>60953449
>surface laptop instead of surface book
why would you do that to yourself?
>>60953502
Cheaper, have absolutely zero interest in owning/using a tablet. Why would I pay more for a feature I neither would use or want?
hey /g/ i need a new mouse which one should I get?
that one
>>60953375
ok thanks
Anything Logitech is a good idea. I have the g600, which I have programmed the side buttons mostly for browser shortcuts. Most people prefer the g502. Either way, the best manufacturer is Logitech. Their mice last forever and their customer service is top notch.

I get the feeling this is that guy's first foray into cryptocurrency and he's counting his chickens before they hatch.

Sorry chum, could have turned a reasonable profit with 0 electricity costs but it's still a good time to get started on other coins and/or catch the last of the ether wave.
>>60953049
>R9 390X
>dual R9 390X
Didn't read after that. Retard.
>>60953443
What's retarded about the 390X? Aside from the crossfire meme of course
Windows users think 10 minutes of this is okay.
This is on an m2 SSD.
linux users think this is okay
this is on a 150mbit line
