What is the crappiest PC that you owned /g/? Was it your first PC?
For me it was an older E machines. Somewhat similar to pic. Had an 800Mhz processor and I think 512mb of ram. 80gb HDD? Played Roller coaster tycoon pretty well. That's about it.

God this thing was infuriating...
Everything was wrong with it. The display only worked if you tilted it in the right position (and even then the right 1/4 the screen had glitchy vertical lines), the battery didn't hold a charge at all, and even with a fresh install of XP, as soon as the fans turned on the fucker ground to a halt.

That's what AMD does.
Makes a powerful product on paper that has terrible efficiency in real world applications.
The furyX is a prime example of that
Fuck ton of horsepower, but 20% of the shaders were unused and sat idle most of the time.
Then combined with driver overhead, it was slower than it's competitors.

it's almost as if software that isn't optimized runs less efficiently on architectures it wasn't designed to run on

Nothing? DisplayPort is actually quite popular.
It's basically a requirement if you're going to use a high-end monitor.

Monitors often stop being detected when they are turned off, which is terrible for multi monitor setups.

Why don't they replace the keyboard on a laptop with a touch surface or even a touch screen?
It would be revolutionary. Imagine if you were typing and you could flick the previous word away with a gesture. You could switch from typing to cursor control just by moving your finger like a trackpad instead of typing. It would be epic.
Am I the only one?

I really like the new Alienware style: they're way classier now and less manchildrened. They even look better than macbooks now.
And of course Alienware probably makes the best laptops, Pristine airflow, top notch build quality, top notch upgradability, day+1 at home intervention if you have a problem, etc. etc.

I recently started using Ubuntu, and I kinda liked the OS. But I don't see a reason to stop using Windows. Most things I can do in Ubuntu, I can do in Windows (some things better in Windows). So, I would like to know a reason to use Ubuntu as my main OS.
PS.: I don't really care about privacy and stuff.

You know, as a Windows user for the entirety of my life, I've really never found any issues with the registry. I haven't really messed with it other than to change the Windows 7 logon screen background, or in the Windows 8 beta to enable to start menu and disable that metro crap. What purpose would you have to be messing within the registry? Why do you consider it atrocious?

Why aren't you using RedoxOS instead of Linux or Windows?
RedoxOS is literally master race.
It's modular, so you can strip and functionality you don't need.
It's lightweight, literally takes ~1,5GB of storage space after installation and upgrade
It's as functional as FreeBSD
It has lower requirements than Win7
Come on anon, explain yourself

C is a disservice to intelligent programmers. It has almost 0 features that a modern and intelligent programmer uses to be productive. Since C is such a timesink, it's popularity is falling more than any other languages in the market.
C is dying and it should die ASAP
