Just wanted to make a thread to note my distaste for the guy who makes this trash and for everyone who listens to it.
"44 bits of entropy"
Actually each word is just 1 bit of entropy you dumb faggot because of dictionary attacks. I can't believe that not only does this dumb faggot not realise that but, in addition, people actually paid attention and listened to that trash. Fucking plebs.

yeah xkcd is pretty much smug reddit comments: the webcomic
>>56878993
Wouldn't it be (number of English words)^4 tho?
>>56878993
XKCD is pure cancer and is the fucking bane of my existence on any tech board. Monroe's occasional technical ineptitude is nothing compared to how fucking cringey his sense of humor is. I'm fine with autistic people making bad webcomics, but it has become an ever-present reminder that nearly everyone who, like me, likes technology is autistic as fuck and has no sense of humor and we as a group should be eradicated from the planet. Sucks.
Anyone had experience with these?
They look aesthetic and fuck and seem durable.
Are these basically the Thinkpads of Japan. Why don't they let Americans get a taste of that glorious Nippon hardware.
Do they run Linux well?

The RZ one looks neat, but it's too damn expensive.
How do you not use a case for your phone?
>I'm not clumsy lol
That seems to be the biggest, horseshit of an argument most people give. I've known people to believe this and have came back to work with a shattered screen. Life happens. You blow $300 to almost $1,000 on a phone and you can't spend another $10 to protect it from hundreds of dollars worth of damages? It screams irresponsibility.
At least half of the people I see with an expensive, unprotected phone have cracked screens.
Really, who cares about how nice the phone looks? The nicest looking phones today are uncomfortable as fuck to hold anyway, causing even more broken phones. A case offers grip, comfort, and protection.
Please give me a good argument, /g/. Don't half-ass it.
I'm not clumsy lol
I get it too. Even if the phone is "durable" it's still going to scratch it and hurt resale value. Same logic goes for screen protectors, some people are just retarded
I'm not clumsy lol

Post your component list, rate other anons', ask questions in general.

OLD THREAD:

dear anons,
I have an older 500W PSU that has a setup like in this pic:
92mm fan takes in cold air from the outside and pumps it into the case.
I have a 120mm on the back of the PC pushing the air out and I have a 120mm fan in the front of the case pushing the air in.
I also have a 212EVO with a 120mm fan pushing the air towards the back of the chassis.
I've been thinking about reversing the fan on my PSU so it pushes the air out instead of sucking it in... so that the hot air from the PSU is not ending up in my computer.
Has anyone done this? Dangerous? Will it fuckup my PSU? thanks for any advice.
Which 1070 should I get? I got it down to those two because of pricing and availability:
https://www.zotac.com/us/product/graphics_card/zotac-geforce-gtx-1070-amp-edition
or
http://www.palit.com/palit/vgapro.php?id=2624&lang=en
The Zotac has a higher stock OC, the Palit has an impressive cooler and looks a lot better(for my black and white/silver build at least).
I know it probably doesn't really matter but I'd really like a second opinion before dropping that much on a PC part.
>>56875879
Honestly? Both are fine.
Why the fuck don't we have awesome phones like this anymore?
I would murder your entire family for something like this with slightly updated specs. Not even top of the line specs, just a bit better.
In this thread post amazing shit that should still exist...also give me a good reason not to sell my LG v10 and get a unused pic related from eBay for 20 bucks.
>>56875653
This design is extremely retarded, but I'd definitely buy a modern Android with a keyboard.
Keyboard phones are the best.
>>56875691
This design is pretty awesome. I like the dual screens myself.
And would still murder your family for an updated one. Not MY family mind you (maybe some of the annoying ones) but I'd definitely murder YOURS.
people just dont care about physical keyboards.
Why have a physical keyboard there all the time when you only use it once in a while ?
What's your current OS and why?
Laptop or desktop?
>>56875335
Laptop: Windows 10, because it came with Windows 7 and I could upgrade it.
Desktop: Debian 8.6 with Cinnamon, because I like Windows but I don't want to pay to be spied.
>>56875335
Anus K50+Windows 9.
Netboob: w8, 32bit uefi so Linux is a pain to setup and a bunch of stuff stop working like touch screen and Wi-Fi
Desktop: w10
Muh games
Laptop: Fedora with MATE
I got tired of distro hopping and this was the latest one I'd installed
Hey this 4chan thing is really cool!
Serial ATA is just a meme!
This new PCI-E thing seems to be shit, no way it will replace AGP or PCI.

has anyone else noticed that firewire is getting phased out?? usb is shit tho its like so slow

stick gentoo on it
My friend gave me a pirated copy of Windows XP with some serial.
So I tried it on my pentium 3 500mhz, has 192mb of RAM and a voodoo 3 3000 but it's pretty slow. Any tips on how to make it faster? I don't wanna go back to Windows 98 SE. Millenium blows.
Also I just bought a magazine and tried Knoppix, shit's cool.

Myths busted:
Myth 1: systemd is not UNIX.
False. The design of systemd as a suite of integrated tools that each have their individual purposes but when used together are more than just the sum of the parts.
SystemD exemplifies the UNIX idea of "everything is a file” . all services are exposed at runtime in a kernel file system, cgroupfs.
Myth 2: systemd’s high speed boot-up is irrelevant for servers.
Professional sysadmins are actually keen on reduced downtimes during maintenance windows. Think about it.
Myth 3: systemd is incompatible with shell scripts.
Complete FUD. systems is fully compatible with shell scripts.
Myth 4: systemd is monolithic
69 individual binaries. These binaries all serve different tasks, and are neatly separated.

A federal jury in Texas on Friday night ordered Apple Inc to pay more than $302 million in damages for using VirnetX Holding Corp's patented internet security technology without permission in features including its FaceTime video conferencing application.
The verdict came in a new trial in Tyler, Texas that had been ordered by the judge in the case, Robert Schroeder, who last August threw out VirnetX's $625.6 million win over Apple from a previous trial because he said jurors in that case may have been confused.
