I've started using a trackball mouse recently.
Anyone else use a trackball mouse?

I ahve the M570 and it works great but I'm thinking of trying the trackman marble, anyone have any thoughts on it? also I really wouldn't mind trying the kensington expert, but it's quite pricy to export...

yes it worked for a year and a bit and then the sensor went haywire and the cursor kept moving to the top corners of my screen

Tried to use Ubuntu but when I use Chrome I occasionally and randomly get DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NO_INTERNET errors. This all started when I switched to Ubuntu. Nobody seems to know what the fuck to do. I've posted on several sites including Ubuntu forums. My thread on there has been up for over a week and still no reply. Is Windows 7 safe to use?

Why don't they convert some of the note 7s into small dev board and computers? All they would need is a simple carrier board and basic linux drivers.
They could be sold for around $99 or so. The amount of them made would mean they could likely sell it for a few years.

good luck with that

Why don't they just replace the battery with a reliable one...
>>
>>57127019
Because the battery itself is not the problem.
Searching for a good phone with a stylus, I like to draw, doodle & work on pictures (montage etc).
What are the best options (is the samsung galaxy note serie good? besides the overheating one ofc :)

There aren't many choices

Note 5 if you don't

What about Note 6? No stylus?

You should steal about extra 50 cucks and buy some Nexus 5 (not a 5x), or some 20 for Xiaomi Mi4c. That's all (You) need.

Even during maintenance, BTN is still better than MTV edition.

So with all of this wikileaks nonsense going on, it made me really curious exactly what's in that insurance package that was released in 2013.
It's obviously not feasible to crack AES 256 with an individual's resources, but then I remembered distributed computing is a thing.
How hard would it be to set up something like the SETI@home project to crack a file like that? Also I get that the efficiency of such a project is entirely dependent on how many users there are, but could this make cracking it feasible (ie, would it still take something like a million computers a decade or some such)? Additionally, is this even the kind of problem you can attack using distributed computing?

How do these "smart" alarm apps that supposedly track your sleep and wake you up gently actually wake you up? Do they just sound the alarm or do they also do more subtle stuff like light vibration a few minutes before your set time to get you out of deep sleep without you noticing?
I tried sleep cycle two nights in a row and both times woke up in the set time, right before the alarm started and without me noticing anything, feeling like I normally would waking up naturally, but I can't tell if it's just coincidence or if the app actually did something right.

It is frozen on the cover. I tried powering It Off, resetting and factory reset but nothing change. I know looks like broken screen but I don't think it is because
1 I didn't drop it or anything, it worked in the morning and 2 hours later it was like this.
2 I will try to explain as best as I can. It has a switch, one pull it goes to sleep, one pull wakes it up.
Ordinarily backlight should not work while on sleep but now eat it either works or it does not go to sleep mode at all, I can't really tell since the screen is Frozen.
Assuming that I am right and it is not a broken screen, is there a way I can fix it myself?

Some e-readers have layers, so you can take the screen apart, but that's not wise if you don't know what you're doing, besides that's mostly for scratched surface.
I'm afraid you can't fix it yourself, and I don't know about Kobo, but Amazon just replaces faulty Kindles with new ones. Contact tech support at the store you bought it.
>>
>>57126820
I'm fucked then, seller on ebay won't replace it.
This is second reader that died on me. Never buying this shit again.

Anybody got an Intel nuc as a homeserver? What's power usage like? What do you use it for?

first question can be answered if you read the specs
>>
>>57126646
No point man.
deskmini 110 has desktop cpu compatibility.
>>
>>57126646
If only it was cheaper. For the same money I can get a netbook with Windows preinstalled. Or a Raspberry Pi for a fraction of the price. Both of which can handle most things you might want out of them.
The only use case I can think of for a NUC is as some kind of compact home office build server for an indie dev.

OC meme from New Zealand btw. Took it this morning on the news while my phone was still on iOS 9. The shape off his head is due to the angle of the shot. Bit of a chuckle when I saw what I captured.
So I finally switched to autism wm after seeing it frequently memed on /g/. But this is the first time a /g/ meme actually turned out to be good. Thanks to xrandr it scales very good with my dell xps 13@3200x1800. It just looks beautiful and aesthetic. Now I'm looking for some neat GTK themes and eye-candy configurations to improve the experience. I will also configure three finger swipe for switching between workspaces.

What's a good and affordable 1440p 144hz monitor? I was looking at the ASUS ROG SWIFT PG278Q for $669 but it has a light up base and is being advertised as a gaming monitor which probably adds a lot to the price

Its a very good monitor. Actually the price is bumped as it has Gsync.
I have been using mine for about 6 months and its fantastic, has a button to switch between 60/120 & 144hz

What's the point in switching refresh rate?

I'll give you the only reason that matters: because it's free software.
>>
>>57126457
Not sure I understand you. Chrome is free.

Firefox has a much larger selection of browser addons. Some folks find that important. If you don't use addons then you don't care about that reason.

Wow, around 600MB download from a phone modem.
Neat.
Amazing.
Now how about the storage that's not even a third as fast inside the phone?
>>
>>57126668
nvme will be present in upcoming devices.
>>
>>57126692
Lolno, even if it was, there's not enough room inside the phones for enough NAND channels to make it fast, not to mention the power limitations of high speed controllers.
