You can image a bit as a small box, in which you can put only one thing. A byte then is a group of small box, and theirs combination give the value of the byte itself. A Bittone instead is a like a big box, not a group of small ones, and can contain more data in a single place. This is the future.

Represent that shit in charge differences and produce logic on silicon comparable to what we have already and you have a point.
This makes no fucking logical sense
Where is the structure of your data?
How do you physically represent that shit?
What do you put inside of it instead of ones and zeroes? Magical energy that gets stored by the resonance of unobtanium?
Your "Bitone" makes no fucking logical sense and this logo just further proves that you're under 18, get the fuck out of here.
>>58631249
This makes no sense. Explain yourself properly.

HOW WILL MACFAGS EVER RECOVER?
it will be only downhill from here
>>58631208
They'll manage somehow.
Not surprising. Just fell for the thinkpad meme after using various macbook/pros for like the past decade.
OSX > Windows, but fuck the constant worsening of hardware.
I wanted to throw up a webpage with a domain. I haven't used any hosting for about 8 years though. Last time I did I was using 1and1. Are they still any good? If not, who would you recommend?
Also, what are the pros/cons of registering a domain with the same company that is doing the hosting?
(pic not related).
>>58631153
If you're not expecting much traffic, it's probably not worth paying for a host, and just host it yourself.
>>58631180
I'm not expecting much sustained traffic. But perhaps a lot at once. I don't have a home server either, so I would have to keep my desktop on 24/7 if I want to keep the site up, which I'm not sure I want to do.
>>58631180
But if I did host it myself, what are some good domain registration services?

>Docking stations that easily turns your laptop into a desktop.
>Easy to repair, upgrade and maintain thanks to readily available service manuals for every model. Spare parts are easy and cheap to obtain.
>The best trackpoint (that red thing in the middle of the keyboard). Great for those who type a lot or hate swiping their fingers all over a touchpad.

Why is alienware computers so looked down upon in PC?
>>58630917
They're overpriced meme tier computers. Only chinks buy them.
People like to pretend their computers aren't for having fun.
Source: own 2 Alienware computers and like em both.
because aesthetics don't matter if it's muh thinkpad but they suddenly do when it looks like it was made in the 90s future
What would be a good upgrade to this PSU?
https://www.amazon.ca/Thermaltake-TR2-700AL2NC-ATX12V-EPS12V-Supply/dp/B00DMLXGS2
I have a sneaking suspicion that it's faulty, or just going bad. I have a $100 budget I can spend on a newer/better one.
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139187&cm_re=refurbished_corsair-_-17-139-187-_-Product
These refurbs are the best deal on a PSU you can get, they are perfectly fine. They are usually refurbs because retards RMA them saying the fan is broken and it turns out the PSU is semi-fanless.
I have one and the fan never spins up ever. PSUs are easily the noisiest part of a PC nowadays that PCs have huge silent fans.

>>58630784
You'll first have to reconsider your current power requirements. Maybe because of a few upgrades you made during your PSU's lifetime you don't need 700 W anymore.
Is he right, /g/?
>>58630782
A thousand times, yes. UI scaling in Linux is fucking awful and people should be ashamed.
DPI A shit on any FOSS desktop, yes.
Im hoping wayland fixes this, but its _still_ not stable enough to use.
macOS doesn't have that problem
Can I block intel ME's traffic in my router's firewall ?
>>58630775
You can't. The most successful approch is there:

>>58630775
No, but you can disable it. I tried ME Cleaner on a Thinkpad T420. It works and power management is fine. No reboots.
