I get that when people use windows because they need it for their work. They need it for testing their software, they depend on it because Adobe Photoshop for example only runs on this pile of shit.

BUT FOR A FUCKING SCREEN
WHICH ONLY NEEDS TO RUN 24/7 AND DISPLAY FUCKING TEXT,

why the fuck would you not use an OS which basically cannot be infected? why not use an AVR even? or some embedded ARM shit?

why the fuck do you need windows 7, 2 gigs of ram, an x86 cpu and at least 40 gigs hard drive?

tell me whyyy?

IT'S NOT OVER

Malware researchers have identified a new version of the ransomware Wannacry which comes without the killswitch. Hundreds of computers keep getting infected every minute as we speak. Pic related, green dots are the new infections in the last minute or so.

So after the recent fiasco with WannaCry I have to finally stop using Windows XP SP2 32-bit and I thought that since I mostly browse the Internet nowadays and don't even play video games anymore I might as well try out Ubuntu. Now the question is: which version should I try, the newest 17.04 one or the 16.04.2 LTS? Pros and cons of each one? If I choose 17.04, will I be able to just upgrade to a new version once 17.04 support ends? I kind of want to try out the newest one, but sometimes the newest thing is not always the best, so...

Post your component list, rate other anons', and ask questions in general.

Always state the purpose of your PC, your budget, AND YOUR COUNTRY if outside the USA.
If you are asking for improvements, clarify whether you want to improve specs or build quality or to lower price, etc

Just thought I would share something with you /g/. It's babbie's first batch script.

This is how I play those 24/7 youtube audio streams on Windows without having to open JewTube in a browser.

You need mpv and youtube-dl.

@echo off
echo Now playing: "lofi hip hop radio - beats to relax/study to" by ChilledCow
echo.
echo Controls:
echo space: play/pause
echo 9: vol-
echo 0: vol+
echo m: mute
echo.
mpv https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrbrQhpvn8E --no-video --volume=25

Save this as a .bat file and double click it to start.

This thread is for the discussion of nyaa.pantsu.cat, a replacement for the late nyaa.se.

FAQ
>https://pastebin.com/Gq9MrJN5

>"Why is Pantsu down right now?"
Sometimes because it is getting gang-raped by the entire Jap web traffic (10x times more than USA), but this is now rare thanks to migration to another server.
Most likely they are deploying changes, wait for a bit and refresh the page.

>reminder
Ignore any kind of post related to the other torrent, they are shitposters from /v/ looking to start a torrent war, even if there are shills (which is doubtful), giving them attention is what they want.
Focus on giving feedback for the site.
