I just updated Windows 10 and now for some reason, the colours on my TV are green and purple when I duplicate my monitor to it. It works properly if I run extended desktop rather than duplicate.
Any idea why?

So my sister is a bit of a basic bitch and she really wants a Macbook of some sort.
What's a good alternative for a normie like her?
I was thinking of a ThinkPad T500 or something with Windows 7, she won't be running Linux or anything.
>>60859607
Name?
>>60859607
A Macbook.
>>60859607
>basic bitch
Nothing. She'd have no use for anything that people on /g/ would use and she'd likely get all kinds of viruses on Windows because she probably downloads and opens everything she sees. OSX will keep her mostly out of trouble and it's what she wants, so let her get it.

Advanced users of GNU/Linux (and I mean advanced), remember to try Source Mage GNU/Linux. True source-based distribution, and (in contrast with Gentoo and Arch) is:
Free from obfuscated and pre-configured code.
Fully committed to GPL, uses only free software (as in freedom) in their main package.
With even the documentation licensed as FDL.
Without 3rd party patches, sensible defaults or masked packages.
Doesn't need obfuscated python libraries, only bash.
Uses clean dependencies as they came from upstream developers, which by the same provides instant updates.
Can heal broken installs.
Can also use flags.
Do you like Arch Linux's AUR? Do you like Gentoo's portgage (or ports-like) package manager? With SMGL's "sorcery" you get all that. Making new spells (packages) not found in the grimoire (repository) is easy http://sourcemage.org/Spell/Book
Bash hackers welcome! Come and join http://sourcemage.org/

I'm going into my junior year at my college and I genuinely hate it. It keeps me from working on the projects I want to work on and learning the skills I want to learn in that very moment. My friends are getting internships and jobs purely based on making shit in their free time. I'm just getting further in debt with little to no time to code outside of summer. I'm questioning if it's even worth it to return to school.
Anyone in here ever drop out to work on their own shit? Alternatively, anyone here end up going to a coding bootcamp like MakeSchool or Iron Yard? Are those worth it? I want your stories.
it's a complete waste of time and energy (and money, if you're in murrica)
just do what you like and learn what you want. most jobs don't actually require a degree

>It keeps me from working on the projects I want to work on and learning the skills I want to learn in that very moment
considering you are posting on 4chan, you must have some extra free time that could be used on your projects or special interests.
you're SUPPOSED to be working on your own projects while in school by the way.

When I connect headphones to my PC, they only play sound from the left side. The problem is surely with my computer, since connecting any other audio device to it gives the same results. What can I do? Thanks in advance.
>>60858498
desolder the connector and replace it with a new one
>>60858498
