Hey anons, need some advice
I have an Alienware Aurora R4 with 2 old GeForce GTX 680 4GB graphics cards.
I was thinking about upgrading to 2 MSI GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Gaming X 4GB
Question is, is it worth it?

Thermals will be an upgrade. Performance will be a downgrade.
Why dosn't /g/ like icecat?
I feels like everyone here uses SJWfox or (((chrome)))
>>61450436
I use it for about half of my web browsing. The other half I use my default browser because I can not be bothered to change my JS settings everytime I want to chan-it
>>61450436
Phone browser I use Firefox Focus, it's lightning fast and nukes all shit web fonts/trackers/ads/popups
Desktop I use emacs
>>61450436
but i use it everyday, no problems so far, some pages like mega for example doesnt work for some reason but almost all things work perfectly

OpenBSD.
Slackware
Sure, it's rough and archaic, but it certainly is one of the most solid distros.
Arch Linux, followed by NixOS
Why is real-time path tracing not a thing yet?

I have no idea that's why I'm on /g/ this tech looks amazing
What was your favorite era of the Internet?
http://www.strawpoll.me/13474362/
>1983-1994: Primitive Internet
>1995-2000: Dot-Com Bubble Era
>2001-2006: Classic Era
>2007-2013: Independent Media Era
>2014-present: Hashtag "Post-Ironic" Era
bit of a toss-up between 95-00 and 01-06 for me
2004 was peak internet. It went to shit in 2007.
2001-2006 was the internet at its best. I still believed in its possibilities back then.
Everything after 2015 is cancer.

where's the cyberpunk though?
>corps raping people with ads, auctioning off their personal info, pushing bullshit through the government, and being paid by the government to fight bullshit wars
>governments oppressing free speech, jailing whistleblowers without trial, monitoring everything everyone does
>the general public doesn't give a single fuck about any of it
>I still can't chop off my arm and get a super strong cyber replacement
All the bad, none of the good. Kill me

Yeah but how much will it cost and will it let me shit post on /g/ ?
Mind that the processors alone start at $5-10k.
Why do all apps are trying to become snapchat? First messenger, now skype
Because it's the most popular app. Which I don't understand why.
>>61449844
but they are bloating their apps with unnecessary shit. In a year people with 16 gb phones will be able to install 1 app
>>61449873
This, I've seen SC collect up to 1gb of cache/data for no fucking reason on my phone. I don't save pics to memory and never watch those ad videos. Most the time when I use it, it'll be sluggish af and end up crashing trying to flip through different friends.
windows users - taskbar on the bottom or the side (or the top if youre an absolute madman)?
No taskbar at all.
Open all programs with WIN + R.

>>61449774
>WIN+R
Pleb. I only open SVR-5 Korn shell from WIN+R. Didn't you know Windows is a UNIX when you install Microsoft Interix on it?!!

>>61449778
nice, did you make a program just to post that? amazing, simply amazing my fellow programmer! you must be so intelligent, just like me. what is your iq?
What laptop do you recommend for £400 or under? I'll only be using it for general stuff like the internet and office.
Ideapad 300
Xiaomi Notebook 12"
Chromebook (C720 is a popular choice) + GalliumOS (or use the Gallium roms to remove chrome crap, then install preferred distro). It works well if you're technical enough to remove the read/write screw and follow instructions. You end up with a cheap, capable, linux rig.
Otherwise, browse local sales.
