who here paid $440+ for a card with MSRP of $380?
if so, why?
I paid $400 for a card whose MSRP is $380.

Impulse buy. No input from any thought process. However, no regret either.

Anyone else having this problem right now? It isn't working with 4chan X or in Dillo/other browsers without support for JS, the captcha just fails on submitting and provides another for me to solve like it would if I solved it wrong. Did Google finally kill the ability to shitpost without running their proprietary JS?
Yes it started fucking up about 3 or so hours ago for me.
I hope Hiro provides a Google free alternative captcha. I wouldn't even mind if it was 25 characters long per post desu
>>56237688
Maybe this could be a good thing and will finally push me to give up using 4chan for good.
FUCKING HIRO FIX THIS IMMEDIATELY I DON'T WANT TO BE TRACKED BY THE BOTNET REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Not tech. Do not post in this thread.
Are Android tablets completely over?
Only Android tablets left are Pixel C (which is extremely expensive) and $100 chink tablets that rapes your eyes, burns your hands, and give you cancer.
Lol no nvdia was on suicide watch with their tablets anyway their cpus couldnt complete with chinkshit even at double the price
i saw so much shilling for those. i guess the tablet market is harder to shill for than the gpu market
>>56237541
nVidias approach I think is over, it served no purpose and had no real place in market.

What does /g/ thing of the NETGEAR Orbi?
>>56237365
Just another shitty consumer grade AP.
>>56237393
It's tri band wifi?
The multiple access points seems pretty cool. Good for large houses. Seems like both pieces would work out of the box compared to getting two different routers and configuring a bridge or whatever.
>USB2.0
No one really uses their routers USB port right? I put an 8GB flash drive with some installers but no media.
>>56237455
Repeater mode APs are always a terrible idea It doesn't matter how many bands it uses.
>Lets rebroadcast traffic that's already all broadcast.
Anyone else find it amazing how much smartphone SoCs are progressing?
i never would have expected a smartphone to be able to offer over a third the performance of a haswell I7 this soon.
That's a benchmark of what? Some NEON SIMD instruction x86 chips can't even do?

Did I actually fall for the thinkpad meme?
I am a freshman and I just got my PC today, it's a X260, with pic related as stats.
Then my fucking suite mate shows me his Dell, with a touch screen, and pic related. Should I get a refund and pick one of these up?
There is also a $100 moneyback AND he got a student discount of over $200 I believe (this may have been bullshit.)
I sound like a fucking shill but I am pissed off because I feel like I fell for the Lenovo meme.
Fuck
Chill out faggot, you can prob find a better deal

oh, and the screen is .5 inches bigger.
Fuck my ass.

/g/entlmen, I need your help.
I'm 18 years old and still live my parents, just starting college. I've been a techfaggot my whole life, been pc gaming and working on pcs since middle, know some basic coding shit, hardware shit, and software shit, all the basics, though I'm not nearly as well versed as alot of you guys.
Recently my parents moved the router out of my room when I triggered them, and called them out on some stuff. Regardless of the fight, theyve moved the router from my room, leaving me with no Ethernet, shit tier WiFi (making gaming tresh), and they plan on putting "parental controls" on the wifi. They basically want the wifi off after 10pm at night, which is obviously a problem for me, as I won't be able to use my pc after then. This is utter cancer as I've basically been my entire families techsupport for almost a decade, as my whole families shit with any and all tech.
My question is, what can I do to get around/circumvent this. Is there anything I can do to get around these autistic restrictions, other than finding their logins changing the settings myself? Anything I can secretly hook up to the wall or modem/router, like those outlet usb port/adapter things? Also, considering how fucking dumb and technologically inept my parents are, theres a pretty decent chance they might just unplug that shit before they go to bed, and I was wondering if anyone knows of any creative solutions like hooking it up to a sneeky battery or something.
Any and all suggestions and ideas are welcome, could really use some help on this shit.
>>56237262
IIRC, load up on some cash or some shit, like gift cards or something, and go for one of those portable satellite cards.
I forget what they're called, plug-in and it connects you to the web almost most of the time/anywhere, but it's subscription-based.
Also, what the fuck did you do to piss em off like that?
>>56237262
phone hotspot
>>56237262
Here's what I'd do, every day overload your network with bullshit causing the internet to crawl for everyone else in the house. When they come to you to fix it you say that you've been maintaining it for ages, but since its not in your control anymore there's not anything you can do about it. The slowness of the internet will get to them before long, they'll apologize for being bitches, etc. etc.

What VPN dose /g/ use?
I'm thinking of picking up Astrill, any suggestions?
>>56237243
I'm also on the market for a good, reliable and effective VPN; just got a call from my ISP and my landlord is scared.
LOL, Canadians.
>>56237243
>>56237857
I used mullvad in the past.
Easy subscription. Easy setup. Didn't stress test the speed but I experienced no difference.
They are one of the VPNs that gets recommmended for not logging your activities, but you can't trust that with any VPNs. I guess every VPN has to cover their asses for really illegal stuff like terrorists or cp.
It's €5 a month and they accept bitcoin.
>>56237857
That's exactly why I'm asking, I don't want to get but blasted. I got 2 emails today from my ISP.
But sense I made this thread I think I've decided on Express VPN.

What is a good version of Linux that will run RPG Maker or an RPG Maker like utility on it's 64-bit version?
The 64-bit version of Debian is incompatible with all versions of RPG Maker while the 32-bit version with wine is compatible with RPG Maker 2003, which is incredibly bizarre.
I'm thinking Ubuntu or Antegros. Am I headed in the wrong direction.
Also obligatory shitposts:
>lol gaymen fag
>lol loonix
>lol Ubuntu
Antegros will definitely get you more cool kid points, but I think Ubuntu is the best solution.
Ubuntu

>Am I headed in the wrong direction.
Yes. You should install Gentoo.
