Cryptocurrency thread
What can a complete newcomer to cryptocurrencies do with this whole thing?
What can I buy with it? What can I do with it? Investment? Short-term currency fluctuation gambling?
Nothing
It's a scam.

Why is everybody comparing the 1800X with intels 7700k in gaming?
Why nobody compares the 1800x with the 8 Core CPU Intel can give you for 500$?
because the cheaper 7700k shits on any ryzen when it comes to gaming

The term GNU/Linux for entire OS'es is also just as much bullshit. The vast majoiry of components of modern operating systems originate from neither the GNU project nor the Linux project. Did you know that the KDE project alone for instance has more LoC than the entire GNU project. Low level system components like systemd, Dash, procps, acpid, DBus $package_manager, they all come from neither. The idea that modern unixlike operating systems are "The GNU operating system with Linux being the last missing piece" is flagrantly wrong FSF propaganda. That is not how it went at all. GNU was never close to supplying a complete OS with only the kernel missing. People cannibalized upon the incomplete GNU OS together with a large bunch of other stuff to bolt together working operating systems.
"GNU/Linux" is irrelevant, it actually does not matter much whether you replace glibc with something else and GNU coreutils and GCC and what-not.
>>59478664
>the KDE project alone for instance has more LoC than the entire GNU project.
I kinda doubt that, and LOC is a shitty measure anyway.
>GNU was never close to supplying a complete OS with only the kernel missing.
But that's actually true. That no one would want to use such a barebones system is a whole different matter.
>>59478762
>But that's actually true.
Alright, then why does GNUs "OS" lack a mount binary, which is needed to boot?
>I kinda doubt that,
It's a fact.
>nd LOC is a shitty measure anyway.
The FSF uses that as a measure on the "Linux and GNU" page.
>If we tried to measure the GNU Project's contribution in this way, what would we conclude? One CD-ROM vendor found that in their “Linux distribution”, GNU software was the largest single contingent, around 28% of the total source code, and this included some of the essential major components without which there could be no system. Linux itself was about 3%. (The proportions in 2008 are similar: in the “main” repository of gNewSense, Linux is 1.5% and GNU packages are 15%.) So if you were going to pick a name for the system based on who wrote the programs in the system, the most appropriate single choice would be “GNU”.
>>59479807
Gnome + gcc alone have more LOC than KDE, that's not even factoring in all the other GNU projects.
And who cares about what the FSF thinks? LOC is a shitty measure.
As for mounting, let the kernel do it.

Even cash is faster now. Can we just go back to swiping or cut chips and just go contactless?
>>59478462
I just started using cash again
>>59478462
In Europe, we've had chips for the last 15 years but everyone is using contactless and/or mobile payment these days. It's funny how Americans is really lagging behind when it comes to payment.
Fun fact: there are people in the US that receives an actual pay check, as in, the employer writes out an actual check which you have to cash in.

You must be confusing it with zip folders, extension to win9x explorer that allowed users to browse archives as if those were mounted folders.
>>59478326
You can mount a winrar archive as a filesystem?
Does Windows even support something like that?

it's because intel finally has competition again so measurements can be done again
Why doesn't Seagate/Samsung "ST" HDDs doesn't remap bad sectors automatically?
How to force the remap. MHDD and every software I tested doesn't work.
How to remap the picrel (ST1000LM024)? It has only 19 bad sectors and the rest of the hard drive works perfectly.
I can use bad hdd repartioner but that's not the point.
I mean, original Seagate HDDs can remap bad sectors but Samsung/Seagate can't remap them automatically. How to force this?
I don't want to sell it BTW, I'm not that kind of a dick...
wtf are you talking about?
they're all remapping.
once you have a single remapped sector, SWAP THAT MOTHERFUCKER.
>>59478349
They are NOT.
Reallocated Event Count equals 0 in SMART data.
>>59478349
>once you have a single remapped sector, SWAP THAT MOTHERFUCKER.
So you're telling to him not to use HDDs anymore? They'll all have remapped sectors through their lifetime, it's only a sign of failure when there are huge amounts of realloc'd sectors in a short time span.

Look at reviews online. Some glowing, some with bullshit like washed out colors, terrible ghosting, pixel inversion... discover several with problems with power-sleep mode issues.
I do not want to play the monitor lottery. I just want to have a business-sexy-looking monitor with normal sleep/wake options again.
Time to die.
I hate the concept of money in that everything is literally "you get what you pay for". There's no such thing as a legitimately good deal anymore.
I shouldn't have to pay $600 - $1,000 for a monitor that's acceptable, while paying $400 is a risk which usually yields terrible results.
Does anyone else have a Dell monitor like the S2716DG with a problem like this?
Is it just a known problem or did I fail at the monitor lottery?
>>59478263
Shouldn't have to based on who's standards? Yours? The market will charge what it can to make as much money as it can. If you don't like it, don't buy it. Enough people doing that might lower the costs.
I pay 5 bucks for this
