So now that Ars has gone totally left, where can you get tech news without left-wing spin?

But optical devices are archaic trash anyway, use new technology like usb and old utils like cat or dd.

16:10 or 16:9?

16:10 is very, very welcome at 24" and below. At 27" and at least 2560x1440 16:9 is just fine too, you have a lot of vertical pixels anyway so it doesn't feel cramped like the lower 16:9 resolutions.

Good luck finding anything above 1080p60 in 16:10
3:2 is best ratio though.

What's the /g/ suggested storage solution for photos?
I bought a new laptop for my sister, it has 256gb of storage, but her old laptop had 512gb. Most of the capacity is taken up by her photos after we deleted all the pirated movies and unnecessary apps but but we only have 12GB left to work with if I migrated the entire thing.

So she has 500GB of pictures? Doubtful
>>
>>58860114
Use a program like winderstat or Spacemonger to get a nice visual representation of the HD.
Its probably mostly windows update files, or porn.
Windows I assume? Run the full cleanup via Disk Cleanup
Otherwise you can use google pics as a backup, but you will need to pay for storage, and upload the full uncompressed method which takes a lot of time
>>
>>58860147
not exactly, but her user dir is about 240gb big after culling as much as we could. I ran it through an app like windirstat to identify what could go.
I was mostly wondering if google photos is a good solution instead of storing everything locally in an external drive

The short answer is maybe.
The long answer is probably.
The /g/ answer is Jews are spying on you no matter what browser you use.

Honestly who cares?
I've been shitposting, using racial slurs, watching BDSM porn, googling weird stuff, and typing all sorts of personal things into my computer that I'd never want anybody who knew me IRL to know for almost 2 decades now. Has any of this ever come back to haunt me? Nope. I don't care if Bill Gates knows I'm researching home remedies for my IBS or watch fat girl porn.

Build this computer a year ago and never gave me any problems. Recently though it won't start up completely. The fans should spin and the light would turn on for a second or two then turn off and try again every 7 seconds or so. I thought it was all the dust so I cleared it out with compressed air but it's still doing it. Anyone know what it is and how to fix it? Thank you.

power supply too weak

>>58860075
Try reseating the memory and power supply connections to the Mobo. I would assume it is a motherboard issue if that doesn't work. I doubt it is a power supply problem, the computer needs almost no power to boot.

Your CPU is overheating, reapply the thermal paste.

The only damage you can really do is making yourself nearsighted if you spend a lot of time looking at things close up (computer screens, books...) when you're a young kid. But that damage is done already and its not like glasses are the end of the world.

After months of catfisting, AT&T (the only isp in my zip code) finally told me that there is no way to get wired internet to my house at the present time and there is no future plan to expand their network in my town.
They suggest satellite internet which I'm not really excited about, but if no one else wants my money, I might as well throw it into outerspace.

Looking to make my third monitor a vertical monitor. Don't want to spend too much on it as it'll mostly be fore looking through forums, chan, and document reading.
Should I invest in a new one or is there older models I can find and buy? I know of vesa mounts, but a lot of older monitors may not be compatible with it, so something that already allows rotation is preferred.

honestly just buy one with a vesa mount. The built-in ones usually suck, and having a clamp-mount is so much cleaner.
Lots of new monitors don't have vesa mounts, so they either need adapters or won't work at all.
>>
>>58859772
When you say buy one with a vesa mount, you're saying to buy a vesa one and then a compatiable one OR are you saying get one that already has a vesa mount? But from your post, you're saying to avoid the ones with build in vesa mounts?
>>
>>58859685
I have three monitors. all three are positioned vertically. horizontal screens are for plebs. if you have a TV, you don't need a tiny horizontal screen with shit vertical resolution.
just get an older monitor with a stand that can be rotated into vert position. they are super-cheap now.

8k will be the first acceptable resolution for phones, m8. Really you'll want 6k though.
We won't have decent resolution on monitors until 64k.
