Hello /g/ents,

How do you organize your virtual workspace? Do you prefer a single large (4k or 2k) monitor? Or do you prefer several smaller ones?

I've always been a fan of having one larger one with a single small satellite screen for documents, applications, videos, or whatever.

Lately, I've been running into issues with multi-monitor support on Nvidia's linux drivers and am considering moving to a single 4k screen. Thoughts?

So /g/, I'm having a problem here.

I'm trying to make a discord plugin via javascript injection, a simple spammer, nothing more.

I got the DOM manipulation part figured out and my spammer is appearing properly, the thing is. I can't for the love of god figure out how to send a messange.

There is no send button, discords only sends messages on [enter] key press which means I can't simulate a click on a submit button.

I tried simulating enter key presses by dispatching keypress events, jquery events etc. I made sure to focus the message input but it still aint sending shit.

I tried using chrome developer tools aka "break on" tools to figure out which functions is called when a message is being sent, the thing is, discord is so fucking bloated and everything is framework generated it is fucking impossible to get a executable function out of there.

Please guys, I wanted to make a simply fucking spammer and I am failing at the spamming part. Does anyone have a clue how to figure this out?

Hi /g/uys, I am currently looking to switch from windows to linux and have tried a few of the "commercial" flavors like ubuntu, debian and mint, but I am looking for something more clean. I'm sure you can configure it out of one of these, but I am looking for a bare bones OS. No mini game packages or anything like it. Just linux as is. Any help appreciated, thanks.

What's /g/'s favorite book reader of choice?
Any difference between a 60 euro one and a 160 euro one? Any downsides in just using a phone app like Aldiko book reader?

Also drop some book recommendations if you have any
I want to read a book
Science fiction preferably, maybe something about companies or governments surveiling everyone, I haven't read anything since highchool when it was mandatory

Give me one single reason why Windows 10 is better than Manjaro.

You can't, can you?

A handful of hobbyists from Austria and Germany made a graphical installer for Arch which in turn provided a better OS than the most powerful corporation in the world.

I just want you to know that each time I see a Windows 10 thread on /g/ I laugh at you.

Why is Tesla so based?

CPUs:
No i5 unless discounted
>G4560 - poverty-tier builds
>R3 1200 - Budget builds (<$500)
>R5 1400 - If you need multithreading
>R5 1600 - Best value for higher fps gaming / mixed usage
>R7/Used Xeon/Threadripper - Compute/Multitask/VM/mixed use, not for just gaming

GPUs:
Coin miners have driven price up and stock down, waiting to buy a GPU might be wiser
>Integrated CPU Graphics - Desktop stuff and very light games
>GTX 1050(Ti) - Lower end budget cards, drop settings on newer games, RX560 beaten by both
>RX570 - 1080p@60~hz maxed, running most maxed older games at 100~Hz
>RX580 and GTX1060 6GB - 1080p@80hz maxed, 1440p@60hz at lower settings; RX580 better in newer games
>GTX 1070 or Vega 56 - 1080p@130hz /1440p@60hz at high
>GTX 1080 - 1080p@144hz / 1440p@60hz maxed, 4k@60hz in a few games; Probably the highest end card you need for 1080p/1440p
>GTX 1080Ti - 1440p@144hz and 4k@60hz maxed/high in many games
>Good fucking luck even getting a VEGA right now

RAM:
>Check your Mobo QVL before buying any RAM
>Ryzen CPUs benefits a lot from high speed RAM, 3200 MHz is ideal

General:
ALWAYS LOOK AT PRODUCT REVIEWS!
Always consider an SSD. Try buying a large SSD for what you'd pay for your SSD+HDD combined, and add a HDD later
NVMe SSDs aren't for a faster OS boot, they're for productivity/scratch disk/VMs. NVMe and M.2 are not the same thing, M.2 is a form factor

>new iphone has no touch ID, confirmed
So they couldn't embed it in screen and decided they should just remove it entirely, instead of placing it on the back, and added this face scan bullshit instead (not even iris scan!).
And it's perfectly fine to do that. To remove a feature that is 4 years old now, is convenient, isn't old, working perfectly fine, gone just like that. What? You liked it, even used it every day? Sorry, 'technological limitations'. We needed more space in the phone, it couldn't work under the screen, it couldn't fit under the back. But sure, wait for the next generation iPhone 9 where it might make a comeback (headphone jack isn't coming back this year btw lol). Don't you just love Apple?

Why they perpetually make stupid, user hostile decisions that no one asked for to be made?

>Apple actually invents something brilliant (magnetic power connector)
>decides to remove it for no reason whatsoever
>now companies are releasing YET MORE dongles to bring this functionality back

Can someone tell me:
1. Why did Apple remove their magnetic power connector?
2. Why the fuck Apple is removing all functionality from their new products?
