What do you do to shut yourself off technology when you need to study for exams? 90% of /g/ has internet addiction, yet somehow some of you still make it.
Give me your best tips, I have absolute garbage willpower.

Put a sharpie in your ass.

Block all you can on hosts file, turn off computer, and throw away the power cables.
Or just have a little bit of discipline. If you're procrastinating, that means whatever you're skipping isn't that important.

Go study in a public area. The fact that people can look at your screen what you are doing might be an extra factor not to browse /g/,4chan or any other shady shit in general.
Other than that being in a different area then your bedroom alone can be a bit better.
If you have fb there is an option to temporarily shut down you account for a day or so. Look it up.

Older Tesla processors are cheap as chips, the M1060/C1060 cards are going for less than 40 bucks on ebay.
That being said, is there anything your average /g/ user can do with such a thing?

The same thing you could do with any coprocessor nowadays:
Nothing.
Maybe force your CPU you offload the specific task the coprocessor does, likely increasing overhead so much it actually hurts performance

>>58682549
pretty much this

A single Tesla is useless unless you need fp64.

Hey /g/ how are your parents?
How has it been after getting them to use a unix like OS?
If you haven't then why not?
Have my mother using a x220 with OpenBSD, using vim with cua-mode, mutt, dwm with lemonbar used as a task/launcher bar, libreoffice, and more.
Took a while to configure with the "can you make it do X?" requests but got there in the end. She's probably the least computer literate person I know but has taken a liking to the "you can have it" experience of unix.

I think youre supposed to install XP first.
I remember trying to dualboot win7 and xp because the shitty software for my peugeot only worked on XP.
And when XP was a "second" installation the shitty software wanted to install on C:/ which was the system drive for Windows 7.

>Signal, a smartphone app that allows users to send encrypted messages, is gaining popularity in the political world amid rising fears about hacking and surveillance in the wake of a tumultuous election year.
>Political aides close to President Donald Trump, former President Barack Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton are users. So are some close to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio.
>Some say the legion of political types has a singular goal to avoid a repeat of the WikiLeaks scandal, in which the emails of Mrs. Clinton and her closest allies were dumped onto the internet.
>“Everybody learned the lessons of the Clinton campaign when it came to communicating about sensitive issues over email,” one former senior aide to Mr. Obama said. “No one wants to see that happen again.”
>Roger Stone, a longtime adviser to Mr. Trump, is on the app.
>“I learned my lesson when my email got hacked in September. It was hell,” Mr. Stone said in an email. He said 30 years of contacts were destroyed and his personal and business bank accounts were compromised.
>“I realized I needed a safer encrypted way to communicate—and NO I have never communicated with any Russians on Signal.”
>Built by the San Francisco-based Open Whisper Systems, Signal is based on end-to-end encryption in which only those in direct communication can read the messages.
>Signal has seen a roughly 400% increase in downloads since Election Day last November, said founder Moxie Marlinspike. He declined to say how many people use the app.
>“It’s funny,” Mr. Marlinspike said. “In the past, people asked, ‘Are you worried terrorists are using it?’ Now they’re asking about politicians.”
>Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani said he has had the app for a few weeks. “One of my cybersecurity experts downloaded it for me,” Mr. Giuliani said.

>Current and former senior aides to Mr. Cuomo also have the app. So do City Council members Daniel Garodnick, David Greenfield and Corey Johnson. Other users are Howard Wolfson and Marc La Vorgna, aides to former Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
>Nearly a dozen officials or aides close to Mr. de Blasio are on the app, including press secretary Eric Phillips; Nisha Agarwal, who serves as commissioner for the mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs; and Dan Levitan, a political adviser.
>Dick Dadey, executive director of the Citizens Union, an ethics group, said he understood why politicians and their aides would seek to avoid a repeat of the WikiLeaks scandal. But he said that by using apps like Signal, they also could be keeping conversations private that should be made public under freedom of information laws.
>“There are consequences to our democracy when public officials or their aides are resorting to keeping their conversations private in this way,” Mr. Dadey said.
>>
I bet the DNC doesn't use Signal.

My housemates and I usually use VLC when we're watching shit on our home cinema, but I fell for the temptation to try something different because sper/g/lords said it was better.
Before transferring the movie to my laptop (slow wifi in the basement) I decided to try playing it from a network share just to make sure it worked, and it did. But when I tried copying it to my laptop the transfer failed at 95%, giving me a weird error message citing MPC-HC as the issue, even though the application (seemingly) wasn't running.
After rebooting my computer i tried again, this time the transfer went fine, and so I went into the basement where I hooked my laptop up and pressed play. About 10 seconds into the movie my friend decides that he wants subtitles because he's a massive faggot, and so I turn on the fucking subtitles. Does it work? Nope, movie goes lagging away at what looks like 5 fps. No subtitles for him tonight.
The movie plays, and in the end I bring my laptop back to my room and close MPC-HC. Guess what happens? Fucking BSOD when I close the program.
File plays perfectly in VLC, subtitles and all, no BSOD.
Why is MPC-HC so fucking shit and why in the world would anybody want to use shit that is this unstable? VLC does everything, and IT JUST FUCKING WORKS.
tl;dr: MPC-HC is a buggy piece of shit, VLC just werks.

Great argument, if people enjoy stable software they're not worthy of your autism. How's Arch working out for you?
