Primarily EVGA because god tier customer support and quality control (minus dropping the ball with the 1080 and 1070 vrms and capacitors)
Strix if you enjoy shuriken fan blades killing your cat
GIgabyte if you like gigabyte
MSI if you like to grill in your spare time and be edgy
PNY if you aren't self conscious about your brands
Gainward if you have a brick or cinder block fetish

Time and time again /g/ talks about user data collection on the WIndows platform (telemetry) but what about Apple's desktop operating system? Did any of you anons using OSX/macOS bother to check addresses communicating with your computer? does macOS phone home to Apple like Windows pings Microsoft from time to time?
Is there any workaround this issue besides installing GNU/Linux?

>What is GNUnet?
GNUnet is a fully decentralised p2p framework for a number of applications, the most commonly used one (probably) is filesharing
More info:

Private trackers:
>have to keep up a seed ratio or you're thrown out
>have to attach an account to your searches and requests
>have to trust that the private tracker's owner won't leak your details anywhere

>no trusted 3rd parties needed

Does anyone find the situation once again mirrors 2004 where Intel has to push clocks and power consumption as high as possible to compete? So many fond memories.

I'm assuming that the 10nm chips are extremely energy efficient.
Which is one of the most important features on mobile chips, such as in laptops.
I don't see a problem here.

Is it worth it to get certifications such as CCENT/CCNA or is it essentially a waste?
What qualifications does /g/ have and why?

>>59926977
I have a CCNA, I'm not too sure it helps though. Haven't seen it mentioned at all.
I had to get it when I became an E Eng.
>>
>>59927178
I should elaborate. I had to do it because of my school. It was one of the options for a course.
>>
You have to get certificates that are actually useful to you, a friend of mine got his CCNA two years ago which was great when he worked in infrastructure stuff but he has since moved to an MSP and deals with nothing but HP equipment and windows server so he has forgotten most of the stuff he learned.
I'm going for my server 2016 MSCA currently which I should be able to leverage in what I do, there are jobs I narrowly missed out on because I only had experience and an associates degree in comp sci. They were asking for more in depth experience with windows scripting and deployment which the MSCA would have provided.
If you can leverage a decent certificate properly it could be the different between helpdesk monkey and junior sys admin. That's the difference not having one made for me recently

Wew. Literally connect things that fit together. A+ certification is useless and it will not get you a job.
>>
>>59926195
A+ certification by its self is worthless.
It is a primer on other comptia certifications though so you should take it to get certified. And see if you want to take at minimum 4 other comptia certifications.
