You guys remember the clicking grinding noise old computers made? The drive head seeking while writing/reading, I think. I'm thinking of building several small machines with old drives and running them headless as freenet nodes just to hear that soothing noise from my childhood.
How the fuck do I get a drive that sounds right? I think modern HDDs have some kind of mechanism to prevent this noise?
Do I just need to track down specific old models, or is there a way to get any old HDD to do it? (Something to do with power management? Head parking? I've seen the term "acoustic management a few times...)

What are you even talking about? Drives will seek as long as they're in use.

Yeah but they don't make that sound like they used to while doing it. I'm after the sound.

Being a 15 year old kid, buying a 500+ GPU from the vendor and actually having to choose between the ATI X800XTPE and Nvidia 6800 Ultra. Back when it was still an even fight. What the hell happened?

GPUs can be used for more than games now, and they no longer go obsolete every 6~10 months, which justifies the higher price. I'm fine with this.
>>
My first GPU was a 1MB Expertcolor S3. When I upgraded to P3 450 and 32 MB TNT2 and ran Half Life in Direct3d mode, I felt like i was in a science fiction.
>>
AMD happened. They fucked up ATI forever.

Building a new Desktop PC, requesting the current /g/ hardware guide please and thank you.
Also:
DDR4 seems to have zero practical advantages, any insight on that?
Prices are the same as DDR3.

The DDR4 standard theoretically allows for DIMMs of up to 512 GiB in capacity, compared to the DDR3's theoretical maximum of 128. If it costs the same just get what's new jesus fuck stupid asshole.

What exactly is stopping Microsoft from locking down windows and turning it into an Xbox?
>People will switch to Linux!
No they won't, because guess what? 90% of people don't even realize there's anything other than Windows. Try explaining an OS to the average person and it's like speaking a different language to them.
Most people will just do what MS says because they think they know better.

Businesses would switch. Home users would get cucked to death.

They will when their shit keeps getting broken. Steam is shit anyway.

>>55766838
Why would businesses switch? Why change everything about the way they work?
You do realize it's not easy to just switch, right? You have to spend all that time teaching everyone a new OS, teaching them how to use different software, and getting them used to doing things in vastly different ways.
>BUT LINUX CAN MADE TO RUN LIKE WINDOWS!
No.
>>55766858
How will they switch when they don't know of any alternatives?

All your frogs are right where you left them.
Why do we still use SIM cards? Can't you just select a network in the phone os providing it is unlocked?

They actually used to do it that way, not sure why they stopped.
Probably not making money off SIM cards, fuckers are expensive now.

>>55766494
I believe Apple was working on bringing that to iOS.

The world would then need to agree on another standard for authenticating users to carriers.

yet another win10 thread. hopefully this will be a little different. I know it's shit, privacy and all, but I'm genuinely interested in your reasons as to why all the privacy issues are a concern, assuming you have nothing to hide.
So, as long as you have nothing to hide, what's the problem with being "spied" on by Windows10? I don't think it's realistically going to affect you at the personal level, that is, again, as long as you have nothing to hide.
Don't get me wrong, I still wouldn't do it myself, just wondering what everyone's reasons are. I guess this has to reach beyond the personal level and into ideals and greater societal concerns.
tl;dr: whats your (personal) problem with win10's spying bs as long as you have nothing to hide

I like my privacy.
>>
>>55766474
I get it, but what is it going to change, at the practical level? It is my understanding that you can use it normally and never have to worry about being spied on because as long as you've got nothing to hide, nothing is physically going to happen in your life because of it. It's why I'm kind of thinking about giving in.

It's a human thing. You wouldn't understand.
