What does /g/ think of Microsoft's Edge browser? Ive been using it for a few minutes now and I can agree with a lot of the design choices M$ made.

So whats the conclusion?
Is it a botnet within the botnet?
Will it (eventually) crush Jewgle Chrome and cuckzilla firefox?

Windows Thread

Let's discuss the state of the piracy scene on Windows operating systems. Back in the days, I find people were much more active doing cracked OS'es and even their own versions of a certain OS (like once I had Windows XP ultimate which was fucking sick and better than the original). Nowadays, that shit seems to have died down. Makes me sad :(

Anyways, why not start with a question.

Windows 10, are the cracks good or are they shit? Can you crack games and still have fun or is it fucking shit? You tell me

How long can we honestly expect our 3770k's to hold up before there's no other choice but to bite the bullet and go through the hell of moving to a new chipset? One year? Two years?

Ivy Bridge came out in 2012. Thats going on almost five years on the same spec which is pretty good but I'm not spending 600 bucks on a mobo, cpu, and ram before it makes sense to.

Now that the Kevin has settled, what's your thoughts on Solus as a Distro?

Good? Fast? Buggy? Easy to use?

Who uses solus here? What are your thoughts on it?

Looking for a serious thread here, please don't shit it up with false flagging and shitposting.

>With “RAISR: Rapid and Accurate Image Super-Resolution”, we introduce a technique that incorporates machine learning in order to produce high-quality versions of low-resolution images. RAISR produces results that are comparable to or better than the currently available super-resolution methods, and does so roughly 10 to 100 times faster, allowing it to be run on a typical mobile device in real-time. Furthermore, our technique is able to avoid recreating the aliasing artifacts that may exist in the lower resolution image.

I need a laptop and a desktop but want the advantage of having Mac and windows at my disposal.

What is a better combination? A MacBook Pro and a HP desktop or an iMac and an HP laptop?

I don't video game but I watch allot of movies.

What the fuck is going on with this? It doesn't happen on my windows 8.1 rig. Why is it doing it on 10?
Video card is Radeon RX 460. Firefox also crashes when youtube videos or facebook loads, and I get the video scheduler bluescreen maybe once every few days. Assuming it's something graphics related?

How do you fuck with people that use GNU/Linux and don't know enough about it?

I've got a roommate that uses Ubuntu and I chrooted into his system from a live Arch usb stick while he was sleeping, set up an ssh server, installed mpv, xdotool, vim, tmux, redshift, unclutter and a couple of other things.
I changed his root password (it's not like he uses it on Ubuntu anyways) and enabled ssh-ing as root.
I also set up a directory in his home called .sysdoc in which I put some simple scripts I, some troll videos and soundtracks like Salil Sawarim.
This is one of the scripts (others do some trivial things to make my job easier):

#!/bin/bash

mpv --no-video lilith.ogg --start=01:01 &

while true; do
    redshift -O 1000 > /dev/null
    xdotool mousemove "$(shuf -i 0-1365 -n 1)" "$(shuf -i 0-767 -n 1)"
    redshift -O 25000 > /dev/null
done

It rapidly changes screen color from red to blue and randomly moves the mouse across the screen, while playing some dubstep soundrack from DMC I had laying around.
I can use xdotool to move his mouse a little just to get him curious at first, unclutter to make it totally disappear and then maybe run the script, all from my phone (using connectbot as the ssh client) while lying in bed.
Maybe I'll put a timer on some commands, so when he initialy calls me to check his laptop and something starts while I'm there, he has no reason to suspect me.
When I change the DISPLAY variable to :0 I can also play some videos like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZ5LpwO-An4 (is there a way to prevent him from closing them?)

What do you think /g/?
Do you have any suggestions?

Also, how do *you* fuck with GNU/Linux users?
