Be honest. /g/, how many of your motherboard screws did you actually screw in?
None because I bought a refurbished desktop instead of paying out the nose for parts.
All but one.
I followed the manual autistically, so probably all. Obviously I could've forgotten one, but I can't tell.
Is it viable to use one of these as a multipurpose computer(e.g. using it as both my torrent server and my Kodi media center)? What accessories should I get if I want one?
No, it's too slow to do all, get a NUC.

if your considering a PI, take a look at this video before you buy.
it's the RPi4. you might be better off with and Odroid or similar, depending on how much software support you want.

How do l learn how a computer works from scratch? As if in computers dissapeared tomorrow l would be able to create one
google it
>>60597146
circuits, electronics
shannon's thesis
processors and random access memory
machine language
operating systems
should keep you busy for a while. don't know about building one from scratch. not sure anybody knows how to do that. i'd just get a raspberry pi and read a lot.

Post the original source link or paste stuff here.
back in the day computers used to ship with copies of the OS on CDs (in case you wanted to reinstall the OS)

how?
>>60596128
Most laptops have a recovery partition to reinstall the factory OS
>>60596153
since i plan on wiping the entire drive, can i copy that partition to a usb stick and reinstall from the stick later?
>>60596128
Download the Windows 10 ISO off the MS website, burn it to a CD or Flash Drive and go from there.
You don't need a serial number, but you will need an internet connection to activate Windows (the key is in your UEFI, you don't need to enter anything, click skip when Windows 10 install asks - it only asks so if you have a better key (ie laptop came with standard but you have a Pro key) you can enter it there)
How badass are you at computers? Enter this as custom CSS on 4chan and then come back from it.div.reply {display:none;}
Back :^)
Kept you waiting huh?
>>60595867
must've taken you a few minutes, huh? Looks like you aren't retarded though, that's good.
it took me a few minutes. the code hides replies and the Settings panel, so you effectively fucked 4chan, and I'm still not sure how to completely purge 4chan settings. I had to enable another theme and add an !important tag to div.reply{display:table;} to restore it and then delete the custom css.
pretty good way to screw normies out of 4chan
Any Rustaceans here? Does Rust have a future? How does it compare with C/C++?
>>60595757
Please refer to Rust users as "rustfags", this is not reddit.
Rustaceans? More like homos
Rust is the only language with people literally begging you to use it
Yes, I am. My pronouns are they them theirs btw.
how many of you can build a computer in under 10 minutes?
