None.
G5 and Core 2 duo iMacs are dirt cheap where I live, should I get one for college work and shitposting? any recommendations [spoiler]aside from killing myself and installing gentoo[/spoiler]?
How much do they cost?
>>55851250
they cost around $130-$180 (core2duo 2007-08)
>>55851163
Either would be good enough for shitposting and running Office, G5s will actually probably have better support than early Core 2 boxes due to the hobbyist community still developing software for them.
I wouldn't pay more than $70-$80 for one, though. They've got life in them, but they're still ancient.

How do I tell what is a good processor nowadays? Apparently cores mean jackshit now.
>>55851147
Same thing as in 2007. Unless you're doing specialized work or building a workstation or something crazy or you're looking for absolute bleeding edge, a 4th-5th gen i5 will do everything you need it to.
>>55851147
IPC is a consistent way to determine the processing power of CPUs that still use modern techniques of computing.

i7 for video editing and workstations
i5 for gaming
i3 for productivity and browsing.

Hey, /g/. If I can get a Technics SL-D2 for $20, should I? Not sure if it's a very good turntable. Turntable general, I guess.
You're going to end up replacing the cartridge anyway, I say go for it.
drink bleach
My turntable has a built in preamp. Will I get better sound if I use it, or if i turn it off and use the phono ports on my amp?
i've been using utorrent for years leaving it on all night with no issues, but the last three times i've done so I wake up and my monitor and everything is on but the screen is black and I can't even "ctrl+alt+del"! WAT DO?

SORRY I'M A NOOB AT ALL THIS
Rate my cheapo CSGO build. I already have GPU/power supply/case/fans. Anything will be better than my poor overclocked q6600 rite?
>>55851065

>>55851404
Radeon hd 6600 I believe
>>55851442
Actually a 6860 I think
Can i do anything entertaining with this fucked 3ds or should I just throw it away?
You could probably sell it for parts and get $40 for it.
>>55851010
>implying anybody wants to buy this heap of shit
>>55851153
Did you break literally everything? Because if not then I'm sure somebody would.
Is it a good idea to go into Networking?
Yes.
N+,CCENT,CCNA.....
>>55850979
You like it?
yes
You don't like it?
no
Is that really hard to take decisions by yourself? Stop being a pussy and start researching what exactly networking is about, you have access to a shitload of ressources to forge your mind.
>inb4 I want mony
learn java and be a code monkey.
>>55851186
Networking looks like boring mundane monkey work tbqh famlam.
I went dumpster diving behind a computer repair shop. Found a few things that I thought were worth taking.
>2 processors (one is Intel celeron the other unknown)
>3 RAM cards (128 MB, 512 MB, and 2 GB and another unknown)
>ancient sound and video cards
>late 90s motherboard
>3.5 inch floppy disk reader
>5 3.5 inch floppy disks (unknown size)
>2 HDDs (one 160 GB and one unknown size)
>2 mini discs (1.4 GB each)
>an iPhone 4 that powers on and connects to iTunes but shows nothing on the screen

Hey, not bad.
>>55850911
If you put that on ebay you might get $5.
Question to all the CS/CE majors out there. How social are/were you in college?
I'm majoring in CE and I've been feeling kinda stupid for how often I'm staying home alone studying for things like calculus and physics. I'm not particularly good at mathematics and often need to repeat exercises over and over in order to understand things. I don't have this problem with my various CS classes though.
Just wondering if I'm too dumb for my major or something.
Drank multiple times per week with friends in my courses. Your university years are the best of your life and you shouldn't waste them unless you're some turbo autist next Elon Musk.
>>55850942
>t. sociology major
I was fairly social with my course pals, we'd play ping-pong and study together and shit, but almost all of them were huge spergs, so it got boring pretty fast. And I'm not social enough to engage with people from other careers.
I'm glad it's over.
Which color should I get?
>>55850868

Currently I pay shitloads of money for a flat that is only half decent, commute for hours to work, then work more hours than I really like to, and buy food that costs more than anywhere else on the planet, and also expenses for absolutely fucking everything..
If I could live cheaper I could work independent and choose only the fun jobs, the ones that give you something more than jost a desperate buck to pay for yet more bills and costs.
maybe moving to mexico and work online woulld be a great opportunity? anyone else thinking the same recently?
Everyone else seems to believe it's 1990 today and moving to cali or ny is the shit, but wtf every cool place is so full of people your only gonna pay like hell and get shit back.
>>55850834
Do you enjoy having a head on your shoulders?
>>55850834
Why not move to a less expensive neighborhood retard.
>Move to Cali
>Get an online job that pays $800+
>Live like a king
Cali is super cheap if you use dollars. A 80 min/20km Uber ride is about $17.
