1. why are there so many users answering questions? it's not like yahoo answers where you can give a short shitty answer, these guys actually put an effort
2. how does it make money/break even?

if you think that everything you do in life should have monetary 'value', then you're wrong, and by wrong I mean 'never going to get rich' wrong.

It's called hierarchical issue voting, ShareBlue. Compared to the border enhancement, the deregulation of healthcare and the economy plan, the internet is a really minor thing.

You'll end up using QWERTY no matter what, only thing learning these alternative keymaps does is trip you up when you use a strange computer

Colemak has enough similarities with qwerty that it's not a very big deal. Been typing in it for 3 years now.

My R9 280X is barely hanging on to life and needs to be replaced sooner rather than later. I'm not a gaymer, but I play the occasional AAA title at 1080p/60Hz. Is there any reason not to get the Poweredge Red Devil RX 480 except for it being over the top edgy? I'm mainly looking for a quiet card and reviews say it's at the quieter end of the spectrum and at 250 Europoorshekels it's one of the cheaper 480s.
How long am I gonna be able to play nice games with nice settings with this? Does a 1070's additional power for 1080p/60Hz justify almost twice the price, considering Jewvidia is gonna nerf it with the next driver update?
Why the FUCK is there no RX 490 for ~330 - 350 bucks?
Should I just wait for Vega?

The 480 is an excellent card for long term prospects.
The 490 is way too far away, and the 1070 is, well, a stronger card but you're kinda wasting money going that high.
>>
>>58971400
>RX 490
There will be no RX 490, Vega will be the RX 500 series
>>
>>58971400
The Red Devil is okay, but the XFX GTR and MSI Gaming X are by far the best 480s.

My brothers wife dropped her phone into the toilet(yum),
They went to some small phone shop and they said they'll repair the damages.
He said, the phone will sit in a container with an Anti-Corrosion liquid.
Me being skeptical about that, decided to do some research.
Found a company called ReviveAPhone, who sell a kit with some liquid that miraculously saves your phone from the water&corrosion.
Tl;dr
Bro's wife phone got wet, and is submerged in an "anti-corrosion" liquid.

yes, you can't fight fire with fire afterall.

Certain fluid substances surely help something to reduce corrosion, but they're almost certainly not undoing corrosion.
When something like this happens, just open the damn thing and quickly dry it with a towel.
Or don't give a fuck and just restore to your backup to the next chinkphone.

Even though I've seen some youtube vids about it, looked weird, touchscreens worked tho'.
I mostly wondered if it fucks your phone on the long ride

What are the differences between a bottom of the line motherboard and a more expensive top of the line motherboard if both share the same socket, memory type and expansion slots?
Would I feel the performance being superior on one or another? How much noticeable would be? Or only benchmark programs would let me spot the performance differences?
Or is it just build quality that differs?

just build quality, and additional ports and features.
no performance differences whatsoever
>>
There may be some slight differences in voltage management and thermal resistance, for example, a higher quality motherboard even though it uses the same chipset may be able to overclock the same CPU more reliably.
>>
chipset
overclocking capabilities
component quality
component cooling
better power regulation for the cpu
nvme or msata on the motherboard itself

If it would be called GNU/MacOS I would use it. But instead I'm using GNU/Debian since it has a true GNU kernel not like the "GNU/Linux" operating systems which are a total lie

My little brother wants to start learning a programming language (He's 14. Quite bright) After seeing me doing it for years he's just now starting to take an interest. What do you guys think is the best language for kids or beginners to learn ? Personally I started with PHP cause I wanted to make a website when I was like 11 and then started picking up Python cause that was what my older friends were using. I'm thinking Ruby maybe ? I dunno.
