You will need storage. LOTS of storage. Currently, the best deal on space is the 16TB WD MyBook on Amazon. You can shuck it and put the two 8TB drives in a computer, if you want, and it doesn't even completely void the warranty.

Plex is pretty decent. I wish the mobile app was better for listening to music but otherwise I'm pretty pleased with it.

>16TB WD MyBook
Fuck why?
OP, just buy a large, well-reviewed internal hard drive and toss it in your case with the others. Duplicate it if you want a backup and maybe add another fan if you want.
I've got two 6TB drives sitting in my tower doing their job.
If you have a smaller machine or you're running off a raspberrypi or something, go with something like this. They work fine so long as you go USB3.

nope, macbook has a much faster GPU and basically the same CPU
> upgradeable
Only RAM and SSD, you can't upgrade the GPU
> GNU/Linux
MacOS is Unix, and you can easily install GNU on it too.
> Cheaper
True, but not by much. Also it's bigger, heavier and has a shitty build quality.

Find something that you are good in. Make impact there.
Otherwise buy stocks of new promising companies.

Shitty open sores clones of good software
Shitty hardware support
Shitty update systems
Shit breaking
Never having photoshop or any high quality software.
Linux doesn't even have paint. Only a shitty knockoff that can't do anythng.
Also theres only really 4 distros and every other distro is based on one of the main 4 with the exception of a few that have even less software.

That's an interesting way to spell windows 10.

As opposed to having to install fucking ethernet, audio, chipset(kek) drivers after an install, right?

Asked in the last thread but will try again here.
I'm deciding between 2 knives, the Ganzo G727m or G729. If I am indifferent about the look, is there any reason to pay a few bucks more for the G729? Is the blade or construction known to be any better? The G729 does look slightly more comfortable to hold, anything other than this?

What does /g/ think about Wi-Fi Direct? Will it soon replace Bluetooth?
>Wi-Fi Direct, initially called Wi-Fi P2P, is a Wi-Fi standard enabling devices to easily connect with each other without requiring a wireless access point. It is useful for everything from internet browsing to file transfer, and to communicate with one or more devices simultaneously at typical Wi-Fi speeds.
>Wi-Fi Direct can provide a wireless connection to peripherals. Wireless mice, keyboards, remote controls, headsets, speakers, displays and many other functions can be implemented with Wi-Fi Direct. This has begun with Wi-Fi mouse products, and Wi-Fi Direct remote controls that were shipping circa November 2012.
