Am I blind or is flaunting low response times a marketing meme and gaymur buzzword?
Is it 144hz?
>>57380083
both are 60
>>57380090
You imbecile. More hz = smoother experience. It's night and day between 60 vs 144

Got a DMCA notice. Is there anyway I can anonymously download torrents without the use of a VPN? Or an alternative to bittorrent when it comes to piracy
you should migrate to brazil download what you need and go back to us

Lol
But seriously. Is there a preferably free way to stop companies and your isp from tracking you? I don't mind data mining if I get my Lana Del Ray albums.
>>57379354
Just use a fucking seedbox. They're cheap, fast, and keep the feds out of your ass.
Post ITT if your question doesn't merit a new thread

trying to adjust settings for madvr, and some of the settings go below the visble extent of the window, but I see no way to scroll down in the window or resize it.
How do I view those settings being cut off?
If I streamed some movies online, would I get fined millions of dollars? I'm guessing the audience wouldn't be more than about 20-30 people.
My ISP is Time Warner, if it matters.
Best place to buy used cisco equipment? I'm looking through ebay and craigslist but I'm wondering if there is anywhere else I could try.
How often do you format and reinstall your operating system, /g/?
Whenever I get memed into thinking I can use arch without fucking up something 30 minutes after installing.
Then I go back to 10 enterprise because my laptop didn't came with W7 drivers and I'm not going to spend weeks downloading them off of shady Russian websites and risking ransom ware.
When I get around to it I'm going to image the install next time so I can actually reinstall every other month like I need to.

Hate website bloat? Tired of shit Javascript?
Try GOPHER! Yes, its old, but it's alive and well.
Brings back the old exploratory feeling of the internet.

Yes.

No ads. No JS. No flash. No bullshit. Just content.

Why does JPG compression even exist, /g/?
I mean, JPG's are already like under 500 KB anyway, and are already shitty looking.
>>57377536
It's almost like the internet existed before people had broadband. Even in the early broadband days loading several JPEGs wouldn't be instant like it is now.

Give respect where respect is due, you ungrateful cur. You know nothing of conceptualizing, developing, implementing and supporting a world-wide recognized image standard that has been unbelievably popular since inception.

When will the 23.976 fps meme die? Why aren't movies/tv shows being shot at least at 30 fps?
>>57377313
Better yet, why aren't they being shot in 60fps?
>>57377335
Because it looks like ass.
>>57377335
Doesn't matter. Each eye can only see 15 fps anyway, so 30 fps would be fine.
What audio player are you using these days?

If you're looking for purchase advice, READ THE BUYERS GUIDE FIRST. Then post, stating budget and requirements (e.g. size and performance).
Don't buy anything OTHER THAN T, X AND W/P SERIES if you want the Real ThinkPad Experience™
Recommended models:
T420 - 14", normal size
X220 - 12.5", ultraportable

Why ThinkPad? (also applies to other business laptops)
>Used machines are plentiful and cheap.
>Excellent keyboards - tactile feel and quiet.
>Great durability: chassis uses a magnesium rollcage for structural integrity, with high quality plastic body panels.
>Utilitarian design: e.g. indicator LEDs, 7 row keyboard layout on older models.
>Docking stations that easily turns your laptop into a desktop.
>Easy to repair, upgrade and maintain thanks to readily available service manuals for every model. Spare parts are easy and cheap to obtain.
>The best trackpoint (that red thing in the middle of the keyboard). Great for those who type a lot or hate swiping their fingers all over a touchpad.
>Excellent GNU/Linux & *BSD support.

how's the default wifi card on T420?
trying to decide if I need to buy a different one
>>57370711
how much did you pay cause im thinking about getting a T460 also tell me how it is when you get it
No Speccy Thread, so here you go.
I built my desktop back in 2012 and haven't touched it since. Only just now is it starting to become noticeably weaker with newer games.
I'm really only interested with 1080p at this point in my life and along with a much better case I'm going to buy a GeForce GTX 1060 6GB.
Is this a good buy for my needs and should I upgrade anything else? Maybe the motherboard?
Thanks for your help guys.
>>57372343
No reason to upgrade anything else desu
>>57372511
Thanks senpai, that's what I was hoping to hear
>>57372675
Why everytime I type to be honest in short form it becomes desu? 太莫名其妙了
