why should I use an open source OS like linux if people can look at the code and change it? doesn't that mean people can add viruses and bad stuff? if you can see the code, it's easier to hack into because you know how it works under the hood

The bits and bytes tracel through all ram sticks before they get settled on the correct one.
That's why you should go for 1 big stick instead of multiple smaller ones.

I used to buy like shitty 2gb rams but then I realized you can get 64gb ram sticks
It's fucking 2017 and the average game download is like 30gb yet people still live with four 2 GB sticks??

Is it just me or is it really hard to read and interpret code?
I can write complex, clean and efficient code, but I take a long time to really assimilate what an algorithm does, even if variables are well named.
It's like I have poor brain RAM but a good CPU.

What sites does /g/ recommend for those interested in the topic of cyber security. All of the info released by Wikileaks recently is pretty fascinating stuff. I would really like to learn some of the basics to better protect help my identity online. So yeah cyber security general I guess. Post news and other cool stuff about the cyber security world.
The rest of this is sort of a blog post but it explains why I think it's pertinent to my life, so skip it if you don't care. The reason I ask is because I'm interested in starting a youtube channel and I don't want to end up doxxed. Yes I know if you don't want to get doxxed the best defense is to not make it easy and give out as little information as possible, but sometimes that is not enough. There has been some drama months ago about a youtuber who got a contact of his to help dox some people that made videos critical of him. One of these channels had less then 9k views per month and they still felt they were enough of a threat to go after him. Personally I want a little more security than what you get from just being careful with your personal info. I believe that offense is the best defense and if someone starts digging into me I want to know how to fight back. Also I am perusing a degree related to computer science right now so it might be something I could get I job in one day if I ever get competent at.

Retaliating against someone trying to get your identity just puts you at a greater risk of getting found. Just separate everything related to YouTube from everything else and never ever cross any smallest details over. Even though getting into drama seems like the best thing to happen to a medium-small channel these days, economically.
>>
Another thought I have about this is it's easy to get paranoid about this stuff, especially in light of recent news. Is there even a point where this isn't paranoia any more though?
>>
>>59412386
Well for the channel growth it would be, but what if I just want to be a hobbyist? That's a serious concern for me. When people become dependent on youtube for their income it inevitably changes their perspective. And it seems very difficult to fully divorce your content from your life. In my op I deliberately didn't include the name of the youtuber because he's an egomaniac and is the sort of person that would google their name constantly to see if people are talking about him. But little decisions like those are something you have to make constantly if you want to preserve your anonymity. In a stream or something making mistakes is easy and the more content I put out the greater the chance I make a mistake. I can sort of imagine though that retaliating can put your identity in danger. What I'm worried about is how do I know if I have spyware on my computer that goes undetected by antivirus software? Those are the sorts of questions I have in respect to cyber security.

7 is for nostalgic hipsters who want to use an outdated meme machine

It is comfy, no ads, no store, no upgrades, no cortana bitch (also no search!!!), no edge browser, you can defer updates forever, no unwanted restarts.
If you want new features and gimmics from MS then I dont recommend this version.

Post your component list, rate other anons', and ask questions in general.
Always state the purpose of your PC, your budget, AND YOUR COUNTRY if outside the USA.
If you are asking for improvements, clarify whether you want to lower price or to improve specs or build quality.
Assemble your parts list; built-in price comparisons by vendor and a compatibility filter.

Have a budget, but don't know where to start? This will recommend you a parts list based on price.

I can afford a 1080ti now, ive never owned a reference card, how loud are these fucks compared to after market? For reference i have a 970 strix atm.
>>
>>59411856
>how loud
I'm sure it depends on quite a few things, not least of which is the sensitivity of your ears. I'm sure you can find a video that purposely captures the sound volume emitted by the card of your choosing.
