>go on ebay
>see 5 somewhat old laptops in an auction
>seller states he doesn't know anything about computers and therefore has no idea if the laptops work
>take the risk, buy them anyway for 20 bucks
>the laptops arrive
>i test them all
>...
>they're all broken
What now, /g/? Can I do anything with them or should I just throw them in the bin?
They either have severe graphical glitches, the screen just stays black or it doesn't turn on at all.
None of them have hard drives in them.
>>59858314
>no hard drive
>boots up
pick one
try putting a hard drive into one, try pluggin them in while testing, maybe consider taking them to a repair shop or Geek Squad, because you're retarded
>>59858314
Try to pull the gold gold out of them maybe you can make the $20 back
>>59858354
Where did I state that they boot up? Are you able to read?
The furthest I've gotten on one of them is to the POST screen, but that one has severe graphical glitches and lines going across the screen.
>want to uninstall visual studio
>see this
what a time to be alive
pressed update. something happened. but I came back to the same screen.
Install a distribution of the GNU/Linux software :^)

Is there any reason to upgrade your computer these days?
I'm using 2011 laptop and it still works fine. Anything computationally heavy can be offloaded to cloud or a workstation if need be.
Why do average people buy new laptops?
longer battery life, more power efficient, better display. can your 2011 laptop play 4k video without running the cpu at 100%?
>>59858203
I tend to have about a 5 year run with laptops, so thats why for me.
Laptop 1 = 2001 - 2006
Laptop 2 = 2006 - 2010
Laptop 3 = 2010 - 2015
Laptop 4 = 2015 - ??

It's kind of unfair to the FCC here. How are GOP commissioners supposed to decide on policy when there are corporate lobbyists on both sides of an issue?
>>59858147
Easy - they go with whichever one will fuck over american citizens more. You see, big corporations in favor of Net Neutrality aren't doing it out of the goodness of their own hearts, but their NN desires happen to line up with what's best for us consumers. It's a mere coincidence, but a helpful one nonetheless.
So instead, they'll side with the ISPs, because their position is beneficial to no one but the incumbent ISPs.

WHen Google and FB want something, you know it';s not good for you.

But what if AT&T and Comcast want the opposite thing?
Are qudros faster at rendering in blender?
I already have old 660 and I'm thinking about getting a k5000. Two extra gigabytes of memory but same speeds
Should I get it? $100 he wants
Workstation cards are a ripoff unless you need stupid amounts of video memory or ECC. Just get a new gaming card. They're faster and cheaper.
>>59858164
I need the memory for blender
>>59858279
Then speed is not the question here.
Remember me?
Yes. I scanned in my entire book library, grabbing metadata from Amazon.
Later I got rid of most of my books because they were basically little more than "I read this" trophies. Then I had no need for the cuecat.

Troubleshooting and google.
1. dont be retarded
2. have access to google
Out of necessity to make DOS games work on my second hand 386. Read the readme.txt, edit autoexec.bat, have some DOS installation disks handy just in case and pray it works. Then it evolved into checking windows help files and went naturally from there.
Anyone use a Chromebook? Bought a Pixel(2013) and love the build quality.

Not anymore. Sorry about your luck.
Just use Windows mail app, faggot. Or Outlook.
>>59857994

So I was just browsing /b/. Not posting anything just looking around. All of a sudden my web browser closes. I for a second believed it just glitches, then 5 folders from my desktop were opened in a instant. I shut down my computer immediately and have no idea what the fuck is going on. Does anyone here know what is going on? What can I do?
install gentoo

What the fuck is with my monitor? I just bought it, a ViewSonic XG2703-GS, and the left side of it is blurrier and more yellow than the right BUT only at higher refresh rates. Below 100Hz it's fine but going above 100Hz it gets progressively blurrier.
Pic is what it looks like on the left side @ 165Hz.
Here's the right (good) side. Also warning large image sizes.
And it's not me being shit at taking pictures btw, I took multiple on each side and they all looked like this.
>>59857930
Return it, retard.
