Are Ethernet to wall socket adapters a meme?
We have pretty decent internet in this house and I see none of that because all of it is bottlenecked as my PC is too far from the modem and I can't get a cable to it unless I run a cable across multiple rooms.
I have to use wireless which slows my internet down like crazy so I was looking into these things and I really like the idea of having a "wired" connection to the modem a lot.
So my choices for increasing speed are either buying a new wireless card that has a 5ghz channel on it or getting some of these and "wiring" my PC to the modem indirectly.
Are these things a meme? Will they give me higher speeds than wireless would to justify buying them over a card with 5ghz?

Haven't been able to test one myself, but I wanted to pop in because if they're shit then chances are 5GHz might not be beneficial in your situation. If your signal is weak, then do some research on your current wireless card/adapter or just replace it with a 802.11n card with a high gain antenna.
>>60595102
no, they're not a meme
Powerline adapters are great when you want to run a hardwire lan in another room away from the modem, I have a TP Link kit with a wifi repeater and its great, but if you want faster speeds you'll probably want the 5GHz Wi-fi unless you're too far away from the router
>>60595102
We have one in my apartment to get better wifi out by my roommates room. They work great, the only thing is that they're half duplex which you probably won't even notice

>installing WIndows 8.1
what am I in for /g/ ?
I use gentoo for the most part, but still have Windows 10 installed just to play CS GO. Just want to get out of this buggy mess.
Also Windows 8.1's start screen would look really good with game tiles, see pic related.
Install SourceMage

I already use a much better distro of linux.
>>60594901
But CS GO works on linux
Does the ranking of your school matter in computer science (CS)?
>>60594778
Maybe.
>>60594778
Possibly
>>60594778
Tentatively.
How accurate is this image?
looks like something my grandma would post on facebook
>>60594540
Fairly inaccurate. Because of over generalizations, such as: protocols
U wot m8? You need am understanding of protocols? What protocols, ALL protocols. Get rekt if that's true because hot fucking damb there are alot of protocols.
As far as hacking/pentesting/red teaming goes, you should absolutely understand the basic innerworkings of everything you possibly can, but you never reach a point where you can say "okay I understand 'enough'". It doesn't work like that.
>>60594540
(coming from a hacker) it's pretty dumb lmao
What's the profit of mining crypto currencys or investing so much into buying gpu's? There are so many out there like Bipcoin, etherum or dogecoin and so on... Why would you mine them, where can you spend your mined coins?
In case you have to pay for ransomware
You mine them now when it is still easy and hope one of your memecoins becomes popular like bitcoin.
>>60594406
But what will the ransom devs do with the money then, except buying drugs and what will the drug dealers then do with they're coins?

my life is suffering. Should i get a Priv? I mean, i don't really like slide-out concept, i'd rather have something like keyone - basically longer q10, plus with android. On the other hand, used Priv is priced reasonably while keyone prices are retardedly high, at least in my country.
>>60594224
You should get some HIV man, this shit gonna flip your world upside down!
>>60594224
I'm going to get the keyone and pay it off monthly or all at once. Whichever comes first when it releases in burger land
>>60594224
I went from passport to priv and most of the time I'm too lazy to slide out the keyboard.
Hi
So I have a laptop, but need certain computer specifications for a job. I had the job, but my laptop didn't meet the requirements. Left of pic is my laptop. Right of pic is what I need. Can someone put this in non-autist terms so I can upgrade my laptop? I don't want to buy an i7 CPU if I can just get a used laptop for the same price. THanks.
How hard is it to go to a shop (online or otherwise) and match up a laptop's specs with those on the right?
>/g/ is not your personal tech support or consuer review forum
fuck off and learn to use google
or at the very least find the stupid questions thread and post in that

Your laptop is fine.
If you really want a new laptop a

Call me autistic or whatever if you like, but I like homepages. I don't know why, I don't even use GNU/Linux as my main OS.

Don't call me autistic or whatever, but I really wanna smell Rikka's feet

what's the patrician analogue of this?
>>60593516
For what? UI design? Drawing? Photo editing?
I'd suggest these in that order
Sketch/Affinity Designer
Krita
Affinity Photo
Drawing with a surface pen in krita is a pleasure, but they need to fix the damn ui scaling
I don't get why this watches are free.
Is there someone who knows about this?
>>60593217
I had a mate who did something like this after he saw it in a Facebook add. All he had to do was pay shipping.
Turns out the watch was so cheap to make that they were making money on the cost of shipping alone. It had small hands for alarms and such, which were just painted onto the face.
Don't fucking trust something that seems too good to be true.
Thanks
>>60593246
This. Ask why the service exists and what's in it for them.

So I fell for the /g/ meme and got myself an X220. All's fine and dandy, it arrived with activated windows 7...but there is one small problem. The buttons above touchpad don't work. Everything but them. Do they need any specific drivers or is it a hardware fault and I should return it while I can?
>>60592016
maybe you can switch them off in the bios. but that is not a commom problem.
>>60592016
You can't just pick a single meme, this meme is needed for an X220 to function.
>>60592016
Check the bios settings, they are probably turned off

Didn't Standalone graphics cards in laptops always yielded that much of a performance increase over IG?
It's not that impressive really.
>>60591760
how much is 1x fps?
>>60591778
The standard for "I don't want to have an iGPU" was the 940MX, so the gain here is 33%
