Anyone have one of these? They're $40 right now and I'm considering getting one mostly for reading books and some light web browsing.
Any thoughts?

I know I bought one of the 40$ nooks at barnes and noble for my dad, and it was pretty nifty. Even though I don't really have a use for it, for only 40$ I kinda wanted it. I really liked the size, too.
I don't know if this is the same or similar, but it looks pretty close.

I was looking at that one too. I'm starting to think I'll just buy used instead because an older Fire HDX 7' is about the same price but with a 1900x1200 display.

I have a Kobo but I'd like something for textbooks and PDFs. Those are shit to use on an E-Reader.

Does anyone know enough about the Openwrt CLI to help me set QOS priority based on IP? Everything I'm trying to do is available in the DDwrt GUI, but Luci is pretty limited.

My IDE HDD randomly died while using windows, everything froze and after forced reboot it wouldn't boot. BIOS only detects it like 1 out of 10 times and when it detects it after booting to live CD I can't mount it. Tried replugging it. Is there any way to recover files from it?

Waterfox, it's build with -O3 and the additional sets of instructions on the latest-generation CPUs in mind.

Has anyone tried it? Does it have better graphics card support after installation, or is it just a custom theme and I have to install the drivers myself again?
My Ubuntu installation gets screen tearing on 920m, so I was wondering of installing this to get better support.
Would that work?

SteamOS is Debian with Steam preinstalled. That's it.

Use a compositor like compton or something.

SteamOS is for systems that are solely for gaming and nothing else.

What's /g/'s consensus on the Razer blade stealth? I'm considering it vs the xps 13, and x1 carbon. The stealth has a great battery, and I like the usb-c charger, which my phone also uses, also the metal which is nice and cold, plus a 1440p screen, which is good as well. Thoughts otherwise? I really hate the way that the stealth looks, but otherwise it's a perfect laptop IMO. Are there any contenders that I don't know about?

All right, I've fucked up. Tried to flash a custom ROM with Odin and I'm stuck in boot loop with a Tmobile Galaxy S5 and the only screen I can see or get to is
"RECOVERY BOOTING..."
"RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING"
"Set Warranty Bit : recovery"
Am I fucked? is this salvageable? I can't get to pic related through any combination of button presses, unless I'm doing it wrong.

Anyone know where I can pick up a pair of 90 degree GPU power cables? Like the 90 degree angle on SATA cables - just picked up a 1080ti, and while I knew it would be a problem, the cables going straight out of the board to the side panel get really crunched up and I'm worried about potential damage to the card.
Anyone?

Why would you ever build your own computer. I am looking at buying this gaming rig on amazon, but when I plugged the parts into PC Parts Picker, The parts value is over $3k if I built it myself. I save $1k buying it from someone else.

This is why you're retarded. You spent 30 minutes at most researching this shit.
What specs do you actually need? Why are you even looking at 2-3 year old hardware? Do you even know what the current generation of hardware is?
Do some fucking research

But its illegal to pay women less than men.
>>
>>59813130
women are less productive in all job fields so it makes sense to pay them less
>>
>>59813885
Exactly. Any kind of quotas for women or "minorities" (Whites are the actual minorities in the world) is nothing but discrimination.
If you can prove that there's discrimination based on race or gender you'll be compensated.
People in favor of quotas say that they're needed because of discrimination against women and "minorities", which can NEVER be proven, because if it could, they'd go to court and get free money as compensation.
That a white man is discriminated against when when someone is hired on a quota is however ALWAYS easy to prove.
