Yeah but there is no Steam for 32 bit Linux OSs.

Check mate, OP.

>Probably the most sperg idea of our lifetime in tech cycles is that 64bit processors must always run 64bit operating systems.

I did not notice such idea.

At least linux can be made to run with xfce or other retarded minimalist system that reduces the binary sizes significantly. Windows systems that must run for most people (because they have to run windows-only software for their job) get a severe hit in performance in several cases.

I recently had one of the first dual core intels on 64bit run 64bit windows and it has hell to even wait it load. Getting it on 32bit windows 10 made it about twice faster.

The fact they have shit hard disks as well makes it worse. Those binaries are about 50% larger.

Until AMD actually make cards that outperform Nvidia's they will always be shit.

Step 1 - stop shaving / generally caring about your appearance.
Step 2 - Whenever you meet up with people get your laptop out and always go on it, ignore everyone around you
Step 3 - Ensure that you regularly inform people about free software, and that you'd just like to interject for a moment
Step 4 - carry on like this for about 6 to 9 months, and anyone you used to hang out with will stop wanting to be seen with you
Step 5 - Develop a very strong viewpoint on your computing environment, remember any choice that you didn't make was the wrong one. Focus on those particular areas that will make you an expert in everything (vi vs. emacs, LILO vs. GRUB, grep vs. egrep, big endian vs. little endian (or even middle endian), mushroom on pizza vs. no mushroom on pizza)

That should be enough to get you started down the path to greatness

My air conditioner timer didn't work the following day. That's as exciting as it got - I reset the time and it was fine.

2k38 remains to be seen, might be a minor nuisance.
Potentially worse given how much pajeet brand code is about.

Why? You don't run a datacenter.

Just buy Intel right now

>>58420306
yes senpai

Good goy, we must target 90% market share.

They're good but only for short bursts of movements between typing. Way more precise than a controller stick but not great for fast movements back and forth.

You also have some slight drift which automatically corrects after a few seconds since the system doesn't know. Instead it resets it back based on the movement being the same direction whether short or long.

>>58420107
You place your finger in the middle, apply a bit of pressure and move your finger in the direction you want the cursor to move to.
You can control the velocity with the pressure you apply.
It is a "good enough" controller.
The strength lies in that it doesn't take up much space and you don't have to move your hands away from the keyboard to use it.
It is good enough for everyday use, but I wouldn't use it for something that requires a lot of cursor movement, such as games, drawing and stuff like that.

A very good property of the trackpoint is that you can perform mouse clicks without moving the cursor.

I have the thinkpad keyboard on my desktop as well, having the same keyboard everywhere has proved to be very useful.
On the desktop, I always have access to both a regular mouse and the trackpoint, and I have found that I use the mouse for most things.

I find the clit to be more precise than the trackpad. Not for drawing and such, but for clicking around a UI, navigating menus and selecting text.

Thanks based AMD.

>>58420086
He's right. AMD isn't jewing their customers only because they have a minor share of them. Remember the launch prices of Bulldozer.

>>58420086
fuck them, they should be taught the basics of capitalism, and how monopolistic activities hurt not only the competition but themselves.

>additional mini-board
increased production costs is probably the biggest reason.

>>58419988
I don't think it's that dramatic.
The fan control/connector doesn't exactly need updating once you have established a proper setup thanks to the simplicity of its function.
In the worst case scenario, they can rely on a 3rd party.
They'd also save up on reducing fan connector bloat on the motherboard itself.

>>58419952
Connector near the top for top fan, connector near the rear for rear fan, connector near the front for front fan.

Come on, use the big organ between your ears.

>>58419945
stop using them
