Never ever, I am getting a portable piece of crap
I cannot believe that I finally dare say it:
Goodbye foobar!
The sole reason I was unable to completely switch over to Groove was that I could not switch to next/previous track easily on Groove. I don't have media keys on my keyboard, and foobar was so great that it allowed me to get custom global shortcuts for all its commands.
I will still be missing the shortcuts for pause after this song, play order: normal, play order: shuffle... Then again, these gestures are so fucking awesome. Hell, I can smoothly control the volume with them.
One birds in two shot, Microsoft, well done. God fucking damn, I'm so glad I am on the Microsoft's boat. I was looking for a feature to control volume by scrolling with my mouse over the volume icon (something my friend could do on his KDE-riced ArchLinux), and now I got something even much better than that, for free (as in beer), without doing anything but waiting!
how much is Microsoft paying you to pretend that you WANT to switch to Groove?
why the fuck would i want to switch from god-tier fb2k to this piece of crap
>>59909768
Actually, I was the one who paid. 100$ for the yearly subscription. I liked the thought of being able to play any song by just asking out loud, as long as I remember its name. Tried it for a month, then found out that it would worth it.
God fucking damn I hate captcha. Hate working for Google without being paid a single dime, without receiving any benefits. They arrogantly shove this task up into our asses. How is this even legal?
So I just put up for sale my MSI R7 370 4GB as I'm upgrading. I advertised it on gumtree (UK craiglist type thing) for £100. To me that's way overpriced, but for some reason it seems to be selling.
I just got a response from someone. He's asking if I would consider swapping it with the following:
>Intel i5 - 4460
>A motherboard which he didn't specify
>8 GB of corsair xms ram
Am I right in thinking this is fucking ridiculous? It has to be a scam right? Surely this isn't some dumb fuck or a mother who doesn't have a clue about how shitty a trade this is. I mean even the CPU is like twice the value of the card.
>>59909708
And what are you going to do with those parts exactly? I personally find hard to believe anyone would buy that haswell bundle for that much more nowadays. Unless you had plans for a secondary PC/Living room PC I wouldn't go for it even if it is more favorable for you and not a scam.
I've only responded to confirm he wants to trade all of this with the card. I don't want to call him out as a scammer on the tiny chance that this is legit.
He has just confirmed it is for the card. What the fuck. We'd have to meet up obviously to trade the stuff, should I take the chance? I live in a rural area in Scotland so I don't expect to be mugged by a bunch of junkies or whatever. Even then though, if he's legit. I'd feeling kind of shitty taking advantage of this without letting him know he's a mong. I'm 100% goyim like that.
You need some relatively specific knowledge of computer components to know the value of these things. Remember the cap of the guy who spent $2100 for a gaming pc with geeksquad that had "12GB of ram power" and like a GTX540 or something?
Now do be vigilant, don't go first if a simultaneous trade isn't possible, but don't attribute to malice that which can be caused by stupidity.

In all honesty, go on YouTube and look for videos on your specific device. If you're a little smarter go on xda.

If you can have only workspaces or monitors, which one would you prefer? Only rule is that you can have only one extra monitor.
>>59909527
What?
what do you mean by "extra"? do you just mean "you can only have 2 monitors"?
i would prefer monitors. i like being able to glance at something in the span of a half second for just a few seconds, and no innovations in keyboard shortcuts or mouse gestures have made switching workspaces as fast as glancing at another thing nearby.
>>59909583
Extra as in one other one in addition to your main monitor so two in total. For laptops, that means the built in display and a monitor.
>>59909552
Virtual desktops or physical monitors
Is it true in Japan you can buy retro games consoles and hardware for dirt cheap, I have a friend who says you can buy gameboys in mint condition for fuck all because the Japs don't believe in "retro".
>>59909492
This is probably better suited for >>>/vr/, but whatever. Your friend was right about 5-8 years ago or so. These days, there's been a pickup in retro playing/collecting in Japan. It's certainly not some huge craze, but it's also not the problem. The problem is that retro collecting *outside* of Japan *is* a huge craze, and people have been looking at the Japanese stuff a lot more seriously in the last couple of years. A fair number of the old and reliable haunts in places like Akiba are starting to look pretty barren, as large amounts of their stock are being bought and exported to North America, Europe, or fuckall where else. In any case, Japan certainly isn't the import collector's utopia that it was a few years ago. Not even close. The locals are starting to go hunting in much less obvious places outside of the bigger cities, as the supply is quickly drying up.
>>59910288
This is part of the reason why, but similar to the west electronic and used video game stores got hit hard the past few years economically and phones have killed a large chunk of the video game market in general in Japan. People keep waiting for a Japanese gaming "revival" but it's not happening.
>>59910332
The OP is specifically speaking to retro gaming though, which has it's own unique set of problems mostly unrelated to retail stores and keitai culture. The real problem, at least in Japan, is that a LOT of the stock is floating overseas to collectors looking for something affordable to buy.

Is notepad++ the best windows editor known to man?

I really liked it and used it for about five years but for some reason performance became really terrible with it. It would take a full second after pressing a key for it to show up, that sort of thing. Couldn't find a solution that worked and no-one else had the same problem so I had to give it up.
I tried a few alternatives and wound up using Geany which is actually quite nice. The macro system is worse than npp, the find and replace isn't quite as powerful and there is no TextFX, but other than that it's pretty good. The built-in build commands are excellent though.
