Welcome to your Saturday afternoon /fmt/.
Ask questions, share tips and tricks, bitch about how Sierra broke your apps, but most importantly, this is a

so don't feed the trolls.
So I installed Mega because the extension wasn't working and it pinned a folder to the favorites bar in Finder, now I can't remove it. Any suggestions?

MBA or MB(R)?

>buying a mbp right before the new models are announced
that's pretty stupid
So I bought a 4 year old PC from a guy who said the only problem was CPU temps and noise. Hé showed me the PC benchmarking and it was fine, good performances. The CPU cooler did make a lot of noise.
So I bought it and got another cooling unit later that day.
Pic related is my problem, the CPU came off with the old heatsink. Heating it didn't work, using a small nylon thread to remove the glue didn't work. Any idea ?
>tldr: CPU is glued to heatsink, how to get it off safely ?
If it's stuck all you can use is force
So long as you don't damage the pins it should be okay.
Acetone?

Coffee machines are technology.
I'm finally moving out, and looking forward to purchase my first coffee machine.
What is the most non-degenerate way of making coffee? (inb4 aeropress or french press, those are gay)
Pic related is what my parents have right now, it's very convenient, requires periodical maintenance like lubrication and thorough cleaning.
Should I get a Bialetti? Or a regular ass drip coffee maker? Or a refurbished automatic machine?
I use a moka pot for an occasional espresso and a coffee press for my daily morning cup. Never felt the need to get anything more.

>What is the most non-degenerate way of making coffee?
Filter coffee, because it's the most healthy.
But whatever brewing method you choose, the most important thing is to ground your own beans.
Pre-ground goes bad after a couple of days, and pads/cups are a money scam.
>>56857915
What do I grind coffee with? Pic related is annoying to clean all the time.
/gee/, what are some good methods and ideas of generating a secure password that isn't a 20+ string of random characters and is easy to remember?
I mean, said method makes sense for the toppest of top level secrets where it won't be looked at every day, but for something that is more common like bank accounts and shit, what's the best method to create a password that would be just as secure but easier to remember?
>inb4 correct battery horse staple
Also password/security general I suppose.
Pic related, but unknown validity.
stringing terms together is bad security.
a password manager is better than nothing, but trusting software is incredibly shaky practice.
come up with a phrase that changes and an algorithm. here's an example:
>This is the password I use in 2016 for Gmail!
and an algorithm
>the first and last characters, plus all punctuation
so the sentence above yields
>TsistepdIuein26frGl!
there. changes for facebook, twitter, your bank, etc... and you can change it relatively trivially.
i feel like every time i hear about password management software it's something bad, like they're changing their pricing scheme (oh that's fan-fucking-tastic; my passwords get to be hostages to a software developer) or some malware finds the keyfile you use, or the frustration of entering passwords on a mobile device or something like that made someone adopt bad security practice.
it's never anything good, like password management services automatically cycling all passwords every n days/weeks/months. why the fuck is that not built in? that's literally the only thing software is good for - scheduling repetitive tasks.
show me a password manager that at least does that and i'll start taking them more seriously. until then this is all a crutch for stupid people who would otherwise use the same weak password everywhere. a crutch they certainly should use, but an intelligent user shouldn't.
>>56876550
also, use 2FA if you give any fucks about your account. like literally even a single fuck.
>>56876550
>stringing terms together is bad security.
Not really, no. Just make sure it can't be attacked by a dictionary.

Is spam still profitable?
are caffe latte attacks possible on WPA2?
I would like to go through my picture collection and move all images with a vertical resolution of less than 1080 to a different folder.
I figure I can use find to create a list of file names and then move them.
Problem is I don't know how to get find to do this.
Ideas?
About to head over to best buy to purchase a laptop. Which should I buy, Mac or Windows? Post reasons why

Mac and Windows are operating systems, not laptops.
