Whats an AOL?
>>59914023
It was some app thing old men used back in their youth
>>59914158
Some say the oldest men still whisper to each other in the dead language of aol.
Seriously I worked for a 5 billion company whose senior execs used aol instead of the company email.
My SansaClip of five years didn't survive a bike crash today, and I noticed that SanDisk apparently discontinued them at some point. What's the portable music player of choice that I can get for around the same price and throw RockBox on?
Just look for another on the cheap. The list of RB supported devices is pretty short.
>>59912342
That's the thing, even second-hand ones at this point cost as much as three times what I got my old one for new.
Fiio M3?

microsoft hardware is actually good though
Got this external hdd used. It looked okay apart from the splinter/whatever it is in the pic. The guy let me check on his laptop to see whether it worked, i only had a chance to use the windows stock disk drive options to check for errors, it showed none. When i got home i checked it with CrystalDiskInfo and it showed no errors. Should i be safe to use it now? The damage in the pic doesnt appear to be deep.
dunno myself man but hope someone can help you
god bless

Will it be the next "twitter killer"?
>>59912197
The main selling point is focused on techies while techies don't use social networks
>>59912197
no
normies will never swtich to anything because "everything is on (other platform)"
Unless twitter literally disappears tomorrow and Mastodon has a mass marketing campaign and gets le epin celebs to start using it then it has 0% chance of catching on outside of small groups of freetards that don't even like social media in the first place
It's too difficult to use
nobody wants to work to set up a shittier version of something that already exists

What's going to happen when general purpose computers fall out of fashion and the only thing left are locked down "convertible" tablets with locked bootloaders that only run windows or some android rom?
Because you can't really write actual software on these things, no matter how hard you try.
Am I going to have to jailbreak my own computer to get root access in 10 years from now?
No, you'll use old hardware. Ten year old computers are not only in great working condition today, but they don't feel obsolete to use either.
>>59912005
>limited amount of old computers
>everyone buys them up
>they all become collectible and their value skyrockets
what now

>Am I going to have to jailbreak my own computer to get root access in 10 years from now?
we do seem to be headed for that
don't expect to be able to just swap your sata storage for another sata storage or anything either
shit sucks
Is it even remotely possible that this could become mainstream?

Obviously, a reduction of visual quality in peripheral vision would be necessary, to avoid making games literally several times as heavy on the graphics card. Are there any other hurdles that would have to be overcome?
Most shooters post-Quake barely even support 120°, and forcing beyond that tends to cause really fucked distortion. This fix seems legit, but outside of a few people who REALLY want FOVs above 120° it's not going to catch on unless there's some indie first-person game that focuses on using the FOV for puzzles or something.

>some indie first-person game that focuses on using the FOV for puzzles
Boba Fett canonically had 360° cameras in his helmet, and I wouldn't be surprised if Batman and Iron Man have used similar technology. It would be totally worthwhile for a major company to use this idea in adapting one of those IPs in a big-budget game.

HEllo im looking to buy a laptop in the range of around £300-350.
The use of the laptop wil be for this in order

Thats the main reason I want a laptop over tablet as well.
>I also wanted to learn some programing and ethical hacking

Can you wait 6 month's? Or do you need it now?
Kabylake-g and AMD Raven Ridge mobile APUs will be announced and on the market by then.
>>59911961
you'll have troubles running any games that need a gpu > geforce 8600 on that. otherwise: way overpriced for the hardware.
Should I get a Pixel or an S8?
I'm leaning towards the Pixel for its smaller size (5") but I really like the display on the S8
>>59911949
Pixel 2.
iPhone 7 unless you're a fucking loser
>>59911949
Wait for the pixel 2

Does anyone else get tired of shilling on 4chan for their gov agency?
I feel exhausted. My psyche is being slowly damaged. I have to constantly change up my personality, opinions, and typing patterns for every comment/thread I make. It's all just an illusion. I do this for 14-18 hours each day. Fuck. There are literally only 2-3 people here at this very moment. The current top 45ish threads were created by myself alone, and so were 75% of the replies. The only other people lurking right now is a couple of young men that are socially inept. I feel bad for them. They have some horrible habits, and are on the verge of getting into some serious trouble.

Why or how did the Internet become so cold, sterile, and uninteresting?
Everything now is social media garbage or created with the sole intention of generating profit.
The Internet used to be a place where people went and fucked around, where interesting things were shared solely because they were interesting, and where you could always see something new or creative.
Now it's just site after fucking site of commercialized trash which exists either to harvest your personal information for the purpose of delivering personalized ads to you, or to sell you something (and then use that purchase to deliver personalized ads to you).
You got old and left newgrounds
I think you answered your own question. It used to be full of people creating and sharing weird, cool, interesting things. Then the dotcom bubble happened, bringing the vapidity of consumerism and content-motivated-by-profit with it. It's been downhill ever since.
>>59911689
this.
consumerism has ruined pretty much everything:
tv/film
computers
the internet
videogames
comic books
everything I've ever enjoyed has pretty much been degraded into half-assed products used to make money and cater to normalfags.
then when you finally snap, people turn around and ask you why you don't just absolutely love capitalism and democracy like they do.
I just spent 2 days trying to make a wifi card work with openWRT only to find out that the driver hasn't been pushed to the upstream kernel for securty reasons. I DONT CARE. I JUST WANT TO FUCKING USE MY HARDWARE.
Sad story, a pajeet went mad that his bullshit won't work and now he wants his /v/ friends back him up!
Pic in OP not related, I had 0 fucking problems with my hardware.
Remember to sage and hide!
>>59911549
>I JUST WANT TO FUCKING USE MY HARDWARE.
You've chosen the wrong distro then. Shoulda used Ubuntu or Mint. Most nonfree and otherwise restricted stuff you need is detected automatically and it asks if you want to install it.
Haven't had a single problem on my laptop after switching to mint. It was having all sorts of problems after going from windows 7 to windows 10, hibernate and wireless drivers went fucking nuts
