install gentoo and fuck off, this isn't tech support
PC specs?
What the fuck should I do?
It's not very easy for me to move my case out and unplug the mouse. Can I unplug the mouse without physically unplugging it? Restarting the PC doesn't seem to work.
>>55864082
Cut the cord and rewire it after updating is done
>>55864082
Consider suicide.
>>55864112
I will but I need to update this first.
How much do i degauss my monitor?
>>55864034
Once every 5 minutes. Not because it's nessecary, but because it looks cool and makes that awesome PWAAAAAAAANG noise.
>>55864280

>>55864280

itt we debunk tech myths
>always burn discs at the lowest speed as it increases their reliability
>>55863872
15 year old tech myths?
this isn't a myth and is still true for older computers/disk drives
that's true though, OP. the chances may be negligible these days, but the principle holds.

What am I supposed to do /g/?! Burn the computer? Destroy my hard drives? Buy a new identity?
>>55863831
>What am I supposed to do /g/?
Come out of the closet and accept your homosexuality

Time flies when you're a faggot
You can """""delete""""" the profile Google has made out of you.
This is, by far, THE best software feature I have encountered in a very, very long time. If you press J or L, you skip a YouTube video 10 secs back/forward. This, its fantastic.
If its LinusTechTips shilling, some god awful cringe, to summarize a tutorial video, to skip some part in a compilation you know, its the ultimate key for everything.
I LOVE this feature.
Discuss.
>>55863771
I watch youtube via mpv so I just use mouse wheel or arrow keys rather than some autistic JKL combo.
>>55863771
This will blow your mind, OP
Use the arrow keys to move 5 seconds back/forward.
And change the volume
F = Fullscreen
M = Mute
Although I guess this does mean that snake game is gone then.
>>55864164
Noooo not the snake game I haven't been on YouTube for a while cause my internet is bad but that was the shit.

Well enlighten me /g/ what OS should I mainly use post reasons why of wich OS you recommend.
>>55863614
Use whatever the fuck you want, nobody cares. Fuck off.
>>55863614
OpenBSD or FreeBSD, since they deliver you the full power of Unix.
Use bird os
what went wrong /g/?
>>55863505
Trying to base a phone on a web browser is what went wrong.
It offered exactly zero real-world benefits over Android/iPhone.
>>55863505
Absolutely no vision. At least Ubuntu tries to do something different, but this was just a money sink.
>>55863505
They didn't think it through. I have that phone, and the browser is as barebones as can be. You have to install an app to copy/paste text, and even that only works if it's in an input field! Home screen isn't customizable either. This is without talking about the obvious disadvantages all third-options suffer from.
>giving your data to the chinese
i sure hope you guys don't do this.
>>55863489
I don't, I give it to the NSA instead of course, so they can get hacked by Russians and the SVR RF can have it.
>giving your data to america
ishygddt
Chinese government wont come after me if I do shady stuff.
Redpill me on Budgie Remix Ubuntu.
http://news.softpedia.com/news/ubuntu-budgie-remix-16-04-1-released-with-full-disk-encryption-snap-support-506660.shtml
>>55863375
Budgie is a different cinnamon
>>55863375
Looks like unity, but different...
Is it lighter?
>>55863401
You mean GNOME
Why can't I plug a device into 2 USB ports instead of 1 for higher bandwidth?
>>55863268
because what you're plugging in wouldn't be a USB device
>>55863268
Technically could if the device had two USB ports on it or one non-standard port that combined the two.
>>55863314
What if it's a USB 3 device, capable of the higher speed through its one port but bottlenecked by usb 2 on an older pc?
Hey /g/, I have started working while standing and since then I feel great! Does this really help or is it placebo? Are there any other anons in here who do their computing while standing?
>>55863245
>48h marathons by standing.
I sit.
Nice bottle of Fortuna anon, it really is one of the sweetest dark beers out there
>>55863421
They say I will burn 240 calories in 8 hours just by standing.
Do you like Unix?
Do you like System V, BSDs, or OpenSolaris?
>>55863168
Linux is better than Unix
>>55863168
Of course
>>55863308
No
>>55863168
UNIX, as in the OS standard (POSIX), is good. System V is old, but was a good predecessor. OpenSolaris and the BSDs are fine. FreeBSD is good. OS X is pretty good as a UNIX for the masses, and I also like that Apple is a contributor to FreeBSD and other FreeBSD projects, such as LLVM/Clang.
