Halp me 4chan. I've hooked up my lappytop to my swanky new monitor and the audio now plays out of the TV when I want to make it come out of my headphones. What do I do? The headphones can only be connected to my laptop.
Not your personal tech support
Instructions not clear, caught my dick in a blender. Can you help me anon?
refer to here for answers >>>/y/
What would be your ideal laptop?
T60 with modern internals. Don't fucking change anything else. Just update the guts.
>>60130629
>no music cassette deck
would not buy
T420 with IPS screen
literally perfection
/g/ isn't worth keeping alive in its current state. Unless gookmoot is going to consider useful action against shitposting like he is with /pol/, this board is basically a constantly off-topic shithole that isn't worth the moderation time (which is not to say they do a huge amount other than keep this board blue). This board has devolved into generals and flaming that have tangential-at-best relevance to technology.
Torrents have an entire fucking board dedicated to them. Private tracker threads outright do not belong here.
Chink shit threads belong on /biz/ in the same way we outlawed cryptocurrency discussion from here.
I don't remember the last time I saw a discussion of the engineering of a watch in a watch thread. 99/100 posts are about the aesthetics of the watch and they belong on /fa/.
Headphones don't instantly belong on this board because they're electronic. Extenuating circumstances aside, headphone/speaker threads belong on /mu/.
Screenfetch and desktop threads used to be banned and should have stayed that way. /wg/ exists for a reason. Battlestation/guts threads could probably fit there (or on /v/), too.
I've never seen a PC building thread discuss anything more than commodity gaming hardware. These, along with every "X IS FINISHED!", "MY 2 FPS IN WITCHER 3!", and similar threads belong on /v/. They are not complex discussions of VLSI or topology; they consist entirely of retards giving their poor interpretation of benchmark graphs.
If the above threads were disallowed and per-thread IDs were instated, the quality of this board would improve tenfold.
If you are a poster in any of above threads, return to your homeland; the board that was literally fucking made for you wants you more than we do.
>/g/ should be exactly what I want it to be and nothing else, stop liking what I don't like
Autistic screeching isn't technology, >>>/out/
>>60130610
>/g/ should be completely overrun by everything that doesn't belong here
Electrical engineering is technology. Designing your own hardware is technology. Computer programming is technology. Networking/routing/switching is technology. Battery chemistry is technology. Mainframes are technology. Historical machines and designs are technology. Computation as a concept is technology.
Hell, I'd count watch threads as technology if they were about the engineering behind a watch, but they aren't. They're about how the watches look. I'd also say PC build threads belong here if they were about niche or unique hardware, but they're not. They're hugely concerned with video games and very little else.
Your argument is basically "you're an autistic faggot if you don't think this board should be a dumping ground for every other board's trash!" This shit wasn't tolerated to the extent it is now just a few years ago and it shouldn't be today.

We just need new mods.
Problem solved.
Which linux distro do gamers use?

Is Windows 10 still a meme?
Or is it OK to use it now?
>>60130128
If you're itching for something new, install VirtualBox and try out Linux or something.
>>60130128
yea,i would not worry about the spyware myth,just a bad rumor made by linux fans,even if their were spyware,who cares?just dont do illiegal stuff.

Anyone notice that no one on this board actually talks tech but shills products and dickride corporations? Actual tech threads either get ignored or very few responses...
Good threads always had small number of replays.

>talks tech
You need to go to 2x4chan for that
Underages shitposting and triggering each other and shills shilling shills is a sitewide problem.
Opera, the browser that invented nearly 99% of all the browser features which are now commonplace, is still leading the pack in innovation and aesthetics. Why are you using an inferior browser?
>>60129881
Firefox Nightly > Opera
>>60130062
Maybe if you like your browser to be riddled with bugs and adware, but otherwise, no.
>>60129881
Because Opera has been kill since 2013
Why the fuck is that site so shit? Why is it full of slavs and pajeets and 12 year old retards? More importantly, why isn't there a better, more organized site and/or resource for rooting, ROMs, etc? Any suggestions on better sites to go to for android root/ROM info?

is anyone else crazy about color schemes when writing code? i think i only recently got interested in that. I'm familiar with solarized, what are some other based color schemes?
>>60128309
IR_Black, default Visual Studio (Light and Dark), Aquamarine for vim, neon for emacs, starry for VSCode, and tons of others
VisualStudio variants are nice
Also Breeze Dark for Kate
>>60128336
and the colorscheme can make me hate or like a programming language actually, thats weird. It also changes my first impression of a code base.
