What's the best /g/adget to receive for Christmas 2016 (no greater than $450)? I was going to ask for a drone but realistically I might as well buy it with my own money.

I'm considering buying some studio monitors. I'd like to also get stands for them but I'm working with a budget. If one of you kind anons could talk me through some shopping points I'd be much appreciative!

>inb4 not your personal review site

I'm not asking for a review, I just wanna know what sort of things I should be looking for. For example, I always search for earbuds with a frequency response of 5hz or 8hz to 24khz because even though people claim you can't hear anything below 20hz or above 20khz, I swear earbuds with a wider frequency response sound better.

So, what should I look for?

Alright, so what do you /g/tards actually think about solus? I know there's plenty of shitposts about this distro but how do you think it'll shape up to be in the future? It seems to do well in a few aspects and struggle in others. I personally think it might turn out to be a really good distro if they can get their shit together. Future looks bright though, what would it take to make Solus a top tier distro like Ubuntu or Fedora?

The good
>Independent Distro
>new package manager
>seemingly great performance optimizations
>budgie (can be a con as well but they have support for other DEs)
>rolling release

The bad
>piss poor package availability
>Small team of developers
>no wayland
>rolling release

Are there any risks to overclocking a 144hz monitor?

Google says that it can reduce the lifespan of the monitor slightly and void the warranty, but since the overclock is done with software I don't even see how a monitor company could detect it.

I just want to try it for shits and giggles. I know it is completely unnecessary.

http://www.techworm.net/2016/05/tor-vpn-users-labeled-criminals-hacked-spied-fbi-new-law.html

So the US is introducing a new law that will allow the FBI to hack and search any computer found using a VPN or Tor.

>The newly approved rule change by the U.S. Supreme Court will allow FBI to search and seize any computer around the world, found to be using privacy tools like VPN or Tor. The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday quietly approved a rule change to Rule No.41, that would allow a federal magistrate judge to issue a search and seizure warrant for any target using anonymity software like Tor to browse the internet.

>Rule 41 will become a law in December if the U.S. Congress doesnt take any legislative action against it. As said in our previous article, the new ruling bestows enormous powers to FBI to be able to search computers remotely—even if the bureau doesn’t know where that computer is located—if a user has anonymity software installed on it.

>The rule changes, which the FBI said were necessary to combat cyber crime, come amid escalating tensions between the intelligence community and technology and privacy advocates, and just a day after the U.S. House of Representatives advanced a bill that would require the government to obtain a probable cause warrant from a judge before seizing data stored with tech companies such as Facebook, Google, and Dropbox.
