Zune users also welcome if you aren't extinct
What you using, how's it holding up?
My nano 5g still persists, was sad to learn of the death of the shuffle and nano recently, but wasn't a fan of the new editions anyways.
If only they made the old USB pen drive shuffle but in massive storage options it would be perfect for work.
what are some good iPods under $30? not in a good place right now as you can see.
>>62276455
A lot of people got gifted shuffles and barely used them, I would try to find one of those for cheap.
>>62276552
Thanks anon. Didnt want to go the chinkshit route... $5 seemed way too low for an MP3 player.
What are the benefits of using a distro other than Ubuntu?
The majority of Linux distros are practically the same other than having different default programs and settings, but Ubuntu has the most mainstream support.
>>62276372
Ubuntu being one of the most resource intensive distros along with amazon products preinstalled.
Nice distro tho
Because aptitude sucks.

Stallman in HD? I'm so used to see him in obscure 240p videos.
Did sysv init originally have those `[ ok ]` indications and was there ever a `service` command as a shortcut to executing the scripts?
I've only ever used systemd.
Install GuixSD

What the fuck is this Chinese magic? Not even Chrome can set itself as the default browser in W10, but Opera can?
Have you updated your Windoze 10? I'm sure I seen that it was a bug in an earlier build
actually does this on linux too, those sneaky chink bastards

Enjoy your jewgle renderer anon!

such comfort
Sometimes I just want to cry and cry and cry and study buddhism so that I can overcome the fear that sometimes when I am singing in the rain under a bridge there are times when i always think that even if I were to go and join some kind of big company that some of the time there would be feelings where I just think that any of the things that I've been thinking about in the past year are things that I never would have said in the past but in the future that I always plan to say even when I think that I am not going to be alone in saying it.
Forth meme make you strong. Strong boi code good
How much of a tab hoarder are you and how many tabs do you have open right now?
>>62275964
How are you still running Windows XP in 2017?
>>62275964
I have 3 tabs open because I use the bookmarks feature as it was intended to be used. If I'm looking up documentation for something I may have a few more tabs open but I always close tabs I'm not actively using.
>>62276152
>not getting free updates till 2019
I want to have a strong foundation in programming.
In addition to working on actual projects, what order should I read these books?
>>62275949
Pick a random one and read it. You're not gonna finish it anyways.
They talks about different topics so if you know what you want to learn it's much easier to choose.
I usually start from the middle of the book and read a page from each side alternately.

Why does google chrome keep getting bigger?
How long until chrome is a 1GB binary?
I don't even care about disk space, it eats up your ram too, 12 tabs eats up nearly 3GB because of all the sandboxing.
Chrome just keeps getting shittier, I pinned version 59 indefinitely because I no longer want to upgrade it.
When is firefox going to take this opportunity to kick google's ass now that chrome is literally a self-contained operating system disguised as a web browser and has taken the role internet explorer did in the early 2000s as the incumbent bloated browser?
Still the only browser to handle tabs, crashes, and ram effectively.

Can I get a music player on wangblows that I can customize 100% without having to download an antiquated version from 2001?
Stop being an autist and just use a normal goddamn music player.
>>62275827
Except all the normal shit like winamp and shitblows media player are fucking ass and bloated with unnecessary shit, you autist
Literally kill yourself, you you shit brained fucktard.
