LOL meth? Are you fucking trash?
>>60233724
Well its prescription meth. It's prescribed as Desoxyn
How do you get energy to program/study after a long day of work?
I don't
i dont - i do that shit at work
when i get home i relax and smoke a j

Same boat, OP. "Pull yourself up by the bootstaps", except the bootstraps are to darn heavy.
So... flatpak! Hear me out on this. A Distribution that only packs the bare minimum for a dekstop, and the repositories only have a few different window managers to choose from as well as coreutils, the kernel, and a few system utilities.
The rest of the package management is done entirely with flatpak and compiling from git repositories. So all browsers, office programs, IDE's, etc. come entirely from flatpak and self-compiled software
>muh unix philosophy
aside, from that, would this be a viable distro? I'm honestly considering creating something like this.
One could just do this with gentoo + flatpak I suppose.
>>60233416
well it doesn't exist yet. Flatpak is a binary package management utility that allows an application to receive updates directly from the maintainer rather than the distribution's repositories.
What i'm proposing is a distribution that uses flatpak instead of traditional package management for most applications.
>>60233372
This is cancer.
I bet the people who came up with flatpak also thought pip was a good idea
Fucking retards.
>Is Flatpak tied to systemd?
>No. Versions of flatpak 0.6.10 relied on systemd for cgroups setup, but this is no longer required.
>Flatpak is designed to run inside a desktop session and relies on certain session services, such as a dbus session bus and a systemd --user instance.

Does black arch linux have sudo apt-get install command.
i don't know
>>60233114
Why would you ever trust such a distribution?
You are literally installing a rootkit.
>>60233114
Who cares. It's for wanna be pretend Mr Hackermanz kiddies anyway.
But no it doesn't.
I have a Toshiba Satellite and I can't connect the wifi. I'm using school (college) wifi, so it can't be a problem with the adaptor since I can connect with my phone. Going to wifi settings it shows that Wifi is off with a black box around it. I try turning it on but as soon as a leave that page, it returns to off.
How do I fix this problem?
Most likely they are running a WEB password system so your laptop can't connect because it doesn't support that.
>>60233783
It hasn't worked before, why stop now? How do I fix this?

As I said earlier Everyone should buy the 1600X today
While it's false that no games use more than 4-6 cores, you do get diminishing returns and if the XFR feature is actually worth it that would likely add more single core performance, which is good in the majority of games.
Keep in mind, even in games that would utilize 8 cores, you only see, say, a 10-25% improvement or so from utilizing them over a 6 core. And that's in games that use them.
So...TODAY, I would probably say 1600x.
Now, 5 years from now, that's the question. If multithreaded games become more and more frequent, and we've been seeing more and more over the past year, 8 cores might eventually show its usefulness. But in the short term the 6 core with higher clocks is going to be the superior option. Most games dont use 8 cores and the ones that do only benefit, at most, like 25% from it.
You can actually view the rundown of my argument for more cores here.
https://np.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/5ui1bd/why_getting_more_than_4_cores_in_a_gaming_cpu_is/
As you can see, the gains for 8 cores over 6 generally is less than or equal to the boost from 4-6.
Those are the MOST multithreaded games I could find. many games don't benefit AT ALL from more than 4 cores and as such higher clock speeds is more important.
So I'd say the 1600x is the better deal NOW, but the 1700 might eventually be better like 5 years from now.

please stop
I've decided to a) wait for Vega for my new build and b) upgrade my POS 2006 build. In the meantime I'm going to invest in a new monitor and it seems like there's a lot to keep track of these days. What are the best options for monitors I should keep in mind?
From what I've researched, I'd like...
- 120 / 144 hz refresh
- 1080p or higher
- FreeSync
- 20" or bigger
- Cost isn't an issue but I'm not trying to blow my load on a monitor.
Any suggestions?
So I just move into the city and don't want to pay the Comcast Jew. I have Xfinity wifi across alley and has been use that for my phone and laptop get a solid 15-20 mbps. When I bought turd for my desktop I'm only get 2mbps. Did I fuck up? Is there some type for super antenna I can buy this thing or not? Don't Make me pay the Comcast Jew pls.

>he feel for the internal wificard meme
serves you right. i have pic related and it werks just fine.
>>60232990
Get a router and use it as client/bridge mode.
>>60233350
?

That'd be even shittier I'm like 200-300ft away from the source at least.

What do you /g/uys think of this? It seems pretty orange to me.
Shit bait but in case you're serious their terms of service and privacy policies are as shitty as this thread. Neck yourself and never visit an imageboard again.
i have it, my phone automatically does something similar
i love it. There really is a difference. I feel more tired at night and fall asleep better when im not staring at a bright screen. Plus less strain on your eyes
>>60232962
it's supposed to adjust your screen's white point to your room lighting
if it looks orange you either haven't set it up correctly, or your monitor is shit.
how can we finally destroy amd for intel can finally reign supreme? as it rightfully deserves. after all, they created x86. amd prevents intel from innovating. if it wasn't for amd, we would have moved on from x86 years ago with ia-64.

Oh my..
>A team of researchers from the Brunswick Technical University in Germany has discovered an alarming number of Android apps (234, to be exact) that employ ultrasonic tracking beacons to track users and their nearby environment. Their research paper focused on the technology of ultrasound cross-device tracking (uXDT) that became very popular in the last three years. uXDT is the practice of advertisers hiding ultrasounds in their ads. When the ad plays on a TV or radio, or some ad code runs on a mobile or computer, it emits ultrasounds that are picked up by the microphone of nearby laptops, desktops, tablets or smartphones. SDKs embedded in apps installed on those devices relay the beacon back to the online advertiser, who then knows that the user of TV "x" is also the owner of smartphone "Y" and links their two previous advertising profiles together, creating a broader picture of the user's interests, device portfolio, home, and even family members.
>>60232733
>ultrasound
... so the speakers on the TVs and radios can somehow generate a signal in the hundreds of Hz now? And the microphones on these phones somehow as a portable device can not only pick it up but also process it as a encoded message?
Your tin foil hat is too tight
>out of 1 billion apps you have to use one of the 234 specific apps while being near another device with a microphone while playing an ad with sound enabled
wow it's fucking nothing
>>60232810
It's possible but an unlikely concern. 17khz is above most people's range, and most apps have permission to use mic.
How is Intel gonna compete without its fab advantage?

You are an optimist man.
No performance increase.
Just increment the number of the generation and rebrand.

What are some essential programs?
>>60232459
Install Gentoo
Screenfetch
>>60232459
Arch linux, you might need to uninstall lubuntu, but it will be worth it in the end.
Need new speakers
pic related is what I'm using now
Don't want go crazy with amps and shit
Just recommend a good set for my computer that's plug and use.
Price range: $100-$150
>$200 if they're really worth it
>>60232414
dont get anything with under 4" drivers. they will always sound like shit.
>>60232414
dude, you have this sweet d'appolito configuration
be content man!
>>60232450
The room the computer is in is literally only 8x9.
So don't need something insane. Hence why the cheap "Genius" Speakers have worked for me for so long.
Can't be fussed to fix 'em. Plus they're cheap.
Looking to upgrade somewhat.
I'm thinking about fully adopting w10 LTSB for my system. Every program and game I've tried on it so far works without any hitches, and all compatibility workarounds that I've traditionally used under windows 7 seem to work with this one. Is there anything I'm missing about it? Any legitimate reasons as to why I wouldn't install it? I'm aware of the hardware limitations per release and that's fine to me.
>>60232360
>Every program and game I've tried on it so far works without any hitches, and all compatibility workarounds that I've traditionally used under windows 7 seem to work with this one.
Yep steam works just fine bro youre good
it's just a meme
install Windows 10 Pro,
people are fucking with you when they suggest LTSB
>>60232360
also if you're torrenting it then they all have some Botnet/RAT implanted deep into it. and you can't get the iso from microsoft so you're retarded
