Is that the Razer Board with knockoff Cherry switches? How do you like it?

>>45334257
I actually have the original model with blues! I have had a chance to use the Razer greens, and I have to say they really aren't that bad. They feel like blues, but with less of a click. Lot quieter too. If I had the choice, i'd still go with the blues since I really enjoy clicky things; but the Razer greens are a close second.

Nothing is /g/ approved. nothing ever will be /g/ approved.
everything is a botnet according to /g/
you are better off disconnecting your computer from the internet, dismantling it, pulverizing all compenents, incinerating the remains, then finally killing yourself for your own safety.


with that said, Open office is a fine alternative to MS office.

>botnet: the post

If you seriously need all the features that Open Office offers that equivelate to the advanced features of office then yeah Open Office is a good alternative (only alternative) really to Office, but if you just want to type and basic features why don't you just use Word Pad or some other basic text editor?

Yes. Many Thinkpads easily last 10+ years. The X220/X230 is not quite as sturdy in my experience but five years should still be a non-issue.

Expect the display to develop white spots if it's an IPS though. Hard drives also tend to fail more easily especially if they are the 7mm variety often found in the X230. An SSD will make that a non-issue.

>>45335948
I expect hard drives, RAM and batteries to fail or degrade over time, of course. My biggest concern was the display and the motherboard, because I won't be able to find quick replacements for them. But I was planning to switch to SSD as soon as possible (for both speed and shock "resistance").
Five years sound fine for me. Thanks!

>price/performance

I take it you drive a Mustang as well? And that we should all be driving that shitty car?

"Best price/performance" means "I'm fucking broke andthis is the best I can afford."

Some people just love to spend their money wisely, since they aint getting their shit paid for by mommy and daddy like most of /g/.

Aesthetic obsession has turned computers into something so dumbed down that even a nigger can use it and so poorly made that nobody can fix it.

>aesthetics in hardware
Goes with hardware that people don't actually want to look. Also computers are tools, not toys.

>aesthetics in software
Makes a simple software in a turmoil of colors that doesn't help in nothing with it's use, most of the time it makes things harder.

KISS, babe.

Don't ever use that term again.

>have windows 7
>want to have print screen capture and save images instantly like most linux distro's
any freeware out there do this without requiring an internet connection?

So I managed to corrupt my windows 7 install after 4 years, and I can't remember the site I got it from.

I really don't want to risk torrenting from piratebay or something like that, so where is the best place to get windows 7? I remember the version I got was a website that came with a guide, and showed you how to verify if your copy of windows was legit.

Also, would it be worth it to upgrade to 8.1? Or should I just wait until something better comes along, maybe windows 10?

How would I be able to update my Nexus 5 to Lollipop 5.0 stock ROM from CM11 4.4.4? Would I need to also flash kernels, recovery, GApps?
