Going strong from 2008, still playing new games. Only thing I changed was a GPU I picked up from Craigslist for $50.

I really need some new flashdrives, but I've gone full-jew, waiting years and years for the prices to go down. Meanwhile I'm trying to take the burden off my tiny SSD by stuffing porn on my collection of 512MB flash drives from back in the 00's.
Sooooooo... yeah.
Please share with me any buying tips - or special deals you come across for flash drives. Hell, let's make this a "Technology Deals" general thread. Any good deal you find - share it with your fellow anons. We all have things we are looking for - let's help each other get laid.

Why not wireless?
The numerous mainstream media articles on the NBN (and particularly the comments sections) are invariably littered with statements like “Wireless is the future”, “Everyone knows fixed lines are dead”, “fibre optics are being made obsolete” etc etc.
And no-one more than I would love that to be true. I’m sure we all would. The thought that we could obtain superfast data speeds without the need for wires is a tantalising concept. Unfortunately, it’s just not possible. That’s not to say wireless networks won’t continue to improve. Of course they will. But they will never approach the current or future speeds available via fibre-optic cables.
Wireless is a great complementary technology for deployment alongside fast fixed networks, and is also useful for delivering broadband to a small number of users in remote areas. But it is incapable of doing so in densely populated urban areas.
Let me make one fact absolutely clear from the beginning:Despite what you may have read from certain clueless commentators, there is not a single country or telecommunications company anywhere in the World that is attempting to replace fixed networks with wireless in urban areas, or even planning to do so in the future.

The concise explanation
Physical limitations prevent practical wireless speeds from approaching those available over fibre-optic cables
There is insufficient radio spectrum to allow wireless to replace fixed networks
To even partially overcome the above limitations, we would need to build over 75,000 new mobile transmission towers across Australia
Wireless network connections are prohibitively expensive, typically being 3-4 times more expensive, for less data volume and at a much slower speed.

This may be true, but in the consumer market often wireless speeds are faster than fiber. For example I pay for a 50/50 FiOS (fiber optic) connection, but my phone LTE (wireless) is closer to 80/60.
With Google going to wireless this does seem where the market is headed.

>>57673596
>I’m sure we all would.
No, fuck you. I'm being radiated by all sorts of assholes around me enough already. Fuck off. The signal belongs into the cable, just like cars belong onto roads and nobody in their right mind would prefer to have them driving all over the place. Besides, security, speed, reliability, power consumption - wireless has nothing on wired in those regards, and will never have.

so fucking on the fence about this. The PC's here are so cheap its unbelievable. whats the catch?
done a bit of research, but couldn't find anything explicitly calling this a scam. The whole thing seems really fishy though, bad website thats only been live a few months, barely any pageviews, the prices are far too low for what they're selling and their facebook page is kinda suss as well (all positive reviews from people living locally to the companies 'location'). there's just no way those components could come to that price and STILL make them a profit?
Please help me before i go mad. whats the deal here?

Document the transaction. Screenshot and print the specs being offered on the website. If it's a scam, open a case about it and show the parts you got versus the ones that were advertised.

As someone currently dealing with the same issue (fresh install, waiting on updates), and having the same question, I'm at a loss. My only other question is what Windows 7 updates are worth installing, aside from main security, performance, and optimization updates.

What common sense safeguards are there to prevent my openVPN'd home router from resetting itself during a power failure/voltage spike and completely opening up my network to the internet?
I can easily restore the NVRAM from the backup but I'm more worried about the internal network being exposed like that.

When running a browser in a sandbox like firejail, these extensions only limit online features. If you run into a malicious script, no worries, because its sandboxed and your machine will not be affected. Did I get this right? Correct me if I'm wrong. Also sandbox thread, very useful.

Why sandboxing when you can run a disposable VM?
Sandboxes are good, but VM's are way better for this
>>
>>57673348
Well of coarse, but firing up a VM just to browse is overkill. A sandbox is just a better security measure then extensions. You don't have to block content, and not worry about malicious scripts being executed.

After seeing all those gamers online, I wan't to build a gaming PC( I'm a Linux user, But most games are in windows, moving on...)
I wanted to start with something not expensive, so I ended up with this build:
List: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yfnBhq
>>CPU
Intel Core i3-6100 3.7GHz Dual-Core Processor
>>Motherboard
MSI B150M MORTAR ARCTIC Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
>>RAM
PNY Anarchy 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2133 Memory
>>Storage
Seagate 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Hybrid Internal Hard Drive
>>Video Card
MSI Radeon RX 470 4GB ARMOR OC Video Card
>>Case
Thermaltake Core V21 MicroATX Mini Tower Case
>>Power Supply
Thermaltake TR2 600W ATX Power Supply
I bought all the parts NEW, NO used/refurbished parts.
ANYWAY.... After installing OS and all that...
I run a stress test and The system failed and random Death Screens, after looong troubleshooting, I turned off hyper-threading which made the system somehow stable for simplt tasks( i3 CPU should be hyper-threaded which is kind odd).... this is not the end.
so used to shows I have 2 CPU cores and 4 logical processors, NOW it showed 2 cores and 2 logical processors( for nerds, This mean one thread can use half the CPU instead of only 25% ).
moving on... Now when I run a cpu test it runs fine, But when I run a cache test or memory test, I end up with a hardware failure.
SO, COULD ANYONE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
