So I want to buy an e-reader. Preferably one that
>Uses that fancy "e-ink" stuff
>Lets me load my own books on there so I don't get cucked by having to usesome DRM-ridden online store
Do such things exist?
all of them are like this just use calibre for library management
i recc kobo aura one and nothing else if you read mangos
but if not then pretty much any reader works
IS this thing to be trusted?
Apparently no one knows who runs this shit
Is there a way how to flash custom firmware onto HP printers? There's OpenWRT for routers, Rockbox for PMPs,...
I just want to grab a sledgehammer and smash it to bits because I can't even print a single piece of paper without anything breaking software wise

>Printing in 2017
>great lows and mediocre highs, you will want to EQ them
>>61424202
>barely existent lows on 80s CDs
Always equalize them
What's the thinkpad T420 of cellphones?
>>61424155
Redmi Note 3 Pro, no doubt
>>61424155
OnePlus 3t
>Nearstock Android
>Easy to unlock bootloader
>Easy to install custom recovery
>Easy to flash roms
>Large Dev platform
>Solid hardware
>buy a 8tb hard drive from WD
>it's 5.5tb
What kind of fucking scam is this
>>61424043
PROOF??? I just ordered one
That should not be right. Using base 10 should amount to it being 7.45TB. 5.5TB should be marketed at 6TB. If real (and I doubt it) send it back.
>>61424043
sometimes file systems can fuck it up, is it ntfs/ext4/xfs? my hdd is 160gb but with ext4 its 149gb and with ufs its pure 160gb.. and with zfs it was worse with 142gb....
It's back!

What do I do with old desktop computers?
I have 10 of them. One is broken, and I'm using another as a shitpost machine at work. I may throw some torrents on it too. What should I do with the remaining eight?
They have shitty pentiums, and RAM ranges from 512MB to 1GB.
I would feel bad just throwing them away.
>>61423627
Throw the cases but one (maybe two), keep the parts. They should be easy to deposit.
The same thing you do with all old electronics: smash them into oblivion and scatter the pieces somewhere innawoods to piss off hippie fags
>>61423627
Use them collectively as one webserver
Help me out /g/
I'm trying to find a widget or functionality to allow me to place album art widgets using PowerAMP, the default player allows for this but I want my FLAC reeee
Listening to FLAC in your phone is pure placebo. You are being a literal retard right now.
Do an ABX test with FLAC and V2 and then come back. You won't tell the difference.
>>61423634
I just did, you are right, I'm still gonna download FLACs regardless.
>>61423634
>and V2
at least say v0 or 96kbps opus
v2 is fucking obvious
What the FUCK is the difference between the Redmi Note 4 and the Note 4 Global?
Do I still need to flash the "global" version?
t. someone who is technologically retarded

C'mon mang just ask this in /SPG/ or /CSG/ no need to create a new thread for this
What is the most overrated programming language ever and why is it Python?
>Ugly
>Slow
>Too much reliance on native libraries because of above
>>61423041
You're probably right. Python is definitely overrated. Inconsistent as fuck API, shitty standard library, slowest fucking language around, dynamic typing, strict adherence to imperative/OOP garbage, fractured 2 to 3 ecosystem for no real reason.
It's a good language for non-programmers to use to get things done, but if you're an actual paid programmer then using python should make you feel ashamed.

>>61423041
It is a good beginners language and a good duck tape solution to things. I started at java and I wish I started at python.
It's great for beginners, at least this is in my experience since that's what I'm learning now. Other languages you have to learn tons of stuff before you get to do anything practical.

fuck off
I am looking for a gallery viewer / manager that allows you to add tags to the images and to be able to search and filter them.
I am interested in it being functional and simple.
I'm testing "ACDSee" which allows both functionalities but the interface is somewhat overloaded.
Any suggestion?
WHY IS IT SO SLOW???
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

If you want help:
>Assemble your parts list
https://pcpartpicker.com/
>State the budget for your build (and country if not the USA)
>List games/software you use often, as well as your monitor resolution + refresh rate
>Clarify your goal for build improvements: lower price or improved specs?
How to assemble a PC, select components & more (kind of outdated)
https://wiki.installgentoo.com/index.php?title=Build_a_PC
CPUs:
No i5 unless discounted
>G4560/G4600 - Budget builds (<$500)
>R5 1400 - Cheapest quad core you can get (Ryzen 3 soon)
>R5 1500x - Good but up to 1600 if you can
>R5 1600 - Best value for higher fps gaming / mixed usage; 1600x if you want higher stock clocks
>R7/Used Xeon/Threadripper - Compute/Multitask/VM/mixed use; Not for just gaming
GPUs:
Coin miners have driven price up and stock down, waiting to buy a GPU might be wiser
>Integrated CPU Graphics - Desktop stuff and very light games
>GTX 1050(Ti) - Lower end budget cards, drop settings on newer games, RX560 beaten by both
>RX570 - 1080p@60~hz maxed, running most maxed older games at 100~Hz
>RX580 and GTX1060 6GB - 1080p@80hz maxed, 1440p@60hz at lower settings; RX580 better in newer games
>GTX 1070 - 1080p@130hz /1440p@60hz at high
>GTX 1080 - 1080p@144hz / 1440p@60hz maxed, 4k@60hz in a few games; Probably the highest end card you need for 1080p/1440p
>GTX 1080Ti - 1440p@144hz and 4k@60hz maxed/high in many games
RAM:
>Check your Mobo QVL before buying any RAM
>Ryzen CPUs benefits a lot from high speed RAM
General:
ALWAYS LOOK AT PRODUCT REVIEWS!
Always consider an SSD. Try buying a large SSD for what you'd pay for your SSD+HDD combined, and add a HDD later
NVMe SSDs aren't for a faster OS boot, they're for productivity/scratch disk/VMs. NVMe and M.2 are not the same thing, M.2 is a form factor.
The Ryzen lineup comes with surprisingly good stock coolers. consider using them over any <$30 cooler.
>no 7700k
fuck off, i'm creating a new one

thats against the rules anon

It's not anon. Happens all the time whenever people try to hijack generals, whether is it on /vg/ / /g/ /a/ or any place that has a decent amount of generals, the illegitimate one ends up deleted everytime
