New laptop. Should I install Debian or Trisquel GNU/Linux?
>>56986499
Install Gentoo
Parabola GNU/Linux-libre
>>56986499
Does your video card and wifi work without non-free crapware?
Yes: install trisquel
No: install Debian, only install required firmwares
If you have noVidya or Intel HD there is a good chance they work without firmwares. You might have to install newer kernel from backports/testing. radeon required firmware files.
If you have atheros wifi, they work without firmwares.
If you have Broadcom, Intel, Ralink you'll need firmware fires.
should i buy this /g/?
No, you should not.
Yes, you should

Does apple intentionally make the battery life on the iphones so shit so you have to buy another one every few years?
Everyone knows batteries degrade, and eventually get to a point when it's unacceptable, but since other phones have much longer battery lives this doesn't become a problem so fast.
It seems kind of intentional since no one would mind a thicker phone.

I know what that is, and HATE the non removable battery trend for this reason, but the iPhones have a much bigger problem with this than anything else.

>Does apple intentionally make the battery life on the iphones so shit so you have to buy another one every few years?
nice troll.
my iphone 5 still holds 87% of its original charge.
and if you want to talk about planned obsolescence, that's basically what android is. to get new version of android, you have to buy a new phone.
apple, on the other hand, supports 5 year old phones.

IT KEEPS GETTING BETTER
>early benchmarks for the Pixel and Pixel XL show Google's new flagship smartphones received lower scores than Apple's iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. In fact, iPhone SE and iPhone 6s all finished with higher scores than Google's Pixel series.
http://www.techtimes.com/articles/181058/20161007/iphone-7-iphone-6s-and-iphone-se-outperform-google-pixel-and-pixel-xl-in-geekbench-benchmarks.htm
>>56986341
According to this: http://www.anandtech.com/show/10721/google-announces-pixel-phones
The 821 inside the Pixels are a running at 820 speeds, so it should perform like an 820. It's no surprising that Apple's CPUs score better at Geekbench.
I only care about the battery life. Who cares how fast a phone browses 4chan.

So, i've been using VIM for 6 months now on my Win7 and Debian machines. Nothing fancy really just the basics and when i want to do something i just look it up on the wiki and it works.
One thing i like is being able to resize split windows with the mouse, scrolling up/down with the mouse and clicking to move the cursor. Of course i'm using the keyboard more but sometimes it's just handy to use the mouse.
My problem now is that on my new PC i can't use the mouse and it's driving me nuts, really..:set mouse=a
just doesn't seems to work on my new setup. The mouse still can select things, and the right clic paste, but i can't move the cursor with it and i can't scroll or resize anything...
I'm wondering if it's because i'm on windows 10? And the terminal is worst than the one on win7.
Does anyone have experienced a similar issue ?
>use gvim
No i don't wanna, i want to stay on the terminal
>install gentoo
I think i'm just gonna have to learn to do stuff only with the keyboard now. I know there's shortcuts for everything i was doing with the mouse but i did use the mouse for so long now that it's hard to switch just like that. On new small projects it's fine but on the larger one when i have to move around a lot i take my mouse to realize it's not working, then i spend time searching for a solution, etc.
Or maybe it is time for me to try emacs
>>56986337
Oh wow you use vim how awesome
Your hakzor nao
Just stop using the mouse.
nj = down n lines. Same for nk
nG = go to line n. Default is end of doc. gg goes to start.
C-) = forward in sentences, ( for backward
C-} = forward in paragraphs, {
/string = find string, n to search forward, N to search backward
F x = find x on the line.
While on brackets i.e., (, [, {, % will take you to the matching closing bracket.
You don't need a mouse in vim ever. Eventually you'll be faster than you are now with a mouse in anything.
stop using vim wrong and stop using windows
Which is better: a Yorkfield C2Q or a first-gen i3?
>>56986150
Quad
>>56986150
does the quad have no NSA back doors like the duo?
>>56987436
>NSA back door
What's that? VPro? I believe that was available on the Duos and Quads as well.
Is cat-v still a thing?
It's considered harmful.

It was never a thing.
is there a way to display qr codes in the terminal on linux? I remember seeing a guy have one with his rice
Would like to know as well
Probably.
holy shit thats a genius idea
So /g/ I need your help. I bought a new computer with a Gigabyte GA-B150M-D3H Motherboard and all I get is a blank screen and 5 long beeps (or maybe 4 long, 1 short I'm not quite sure about the last one). I've googled but I couldn't find the corresponding error to the code.

Who would have thought that looking at first result might be useful?
>>56985912
>http://www.bioscentral.com/beepcodes/amibeep.htm
As I said it's not, because my error code is not on that list.
>>56985912
https://ami.com/ami_downloads/AMIBIOS8_Checkpoint_and_Beep_Codes.pdf
The only thing that I've found which could be useful is this list which contains a 5 beep code but it doesn't specify the length or when it would occur in the boot process.
So I have two options right now because I cannot max games anymore. Do I switch my old 1080p monitor to be my primary, or do I get a second 390?
>>56985760
two 390s faggot get your shit together

Was looking at 1440p 140hz monitors today, would my 280x be too weak for it? I don't care about max graphics as much as smoothness and high fps so if I could manage medium to high I wouldn't mind

Does "Disabling" Google apps stops the google botnet? I always have processes like "Google Location Service" going on (and I can't seem to be able to stop them for good, Location restarts immediately) and Google Play is updating things against my consent while trying to hide it from me (Google Play Games is automatically updated every time I bring it back to the factory version, without any notification). I don't give a fuck about most of Google's apps (if possible I would like to keep only the Store and Gmail), do I have to uninstall that shit or disabling it will be as effective?
look retard, the os is made to be a trojan to fuck you in the ass with the botnet. if you want to use stock android or google's services, you're going to be subjected to whatever they want. it's like the mouthbreathers trying to change windows 10 telemetry, it wasn't made to have it disabled and just accept you either use something else or learn to live with the botnet
Root and uninstall
Flash CM without google play and use Fdroid for apps
Hey /g/, about half a decade ago a kind anon here wrote me an extension to autoload the reply form on 4chan back when moot was fucking with the site code to pander to mobilefags.
I'm switching over to Opera 40.0 and can't get Opera to load the incredibly simple user javascript file. I also can't find anywhere to enable user javascript. Is Opera already fucking useless as a browser? Part of the reason I'm switching is that Chrome keeps deleting this custom javascript from my installed extensions because it's not part of their tyrannical store.
Here's the text of the extension in case anyone would like to enhance their vanilla browsing experience too.// ==UserScript==
// @name Autoload the Reply form
// @namespace loadletter
// @description Load the Reply form on vanilla 4chan (without any extension)
// @include http://boards.4chan.org/*
// @include https://boards.4chan.org/*
// @run-at document-end
// @version 1
// @grant none
// ==/UserScript==
frm = document.getElementById("postForm");
frm.style.display = "table";
div = document.getElementById("togglePostFormLink");
div.style.display = "none";
Bump. Please /g/ this is killing me.
>>56985334
I think you need an extension such as Violentmonkey or Tampermonkey.
>>56985385
You can do that with custom CSS, you don't need Javascript.
