Considering Linux is already very disjointed and appreciating how much better an OS would be if everyone focused on one or two distros instead of dozens..
Am I a bad person for using Linux Mint instead of Ubuntu? Surely we should all be backing one horse and providing as much support as possible to make the OS better for everyone right?

It would be horrible, because the amount of choice is what makes it good, and the software can be interchanged anyway.
Are these good for anything?
I've had one in my closet for years and don't know what to do with it. The internet is retarded slow, it has no optical drive, its got no memory....what should I do with it? They aren't worth shit or maybe I'd put it on Ebay.
What are these good for?
I've been trying to justify setting up my Lenovo S10e as an email server but it's a stupid idea and all I'd be doing is forcing myself to justify a purchase that has long become useless
>>55754356
Good for light browsing, or a backup laptop. It'll even stream in a pinch. Install xubuntu.
>>55754356
>The internet is retarded slow
Were you unlucky enough to get one of the old Celeron M ULV models? If not, you should be able to do plenty on the internet if you're blocking unnecessary scripts and aren't using a ridiculously bloated browser.
Titan = $1200. No Pascal. Not even a proper arch. What does it feel like to get milked ? Pascal is nothing but a stopgap die-shrink.
It is not like you were going to buy one. Why do you even care?

feels good man
gonna buy volta as soon as it comes out

>No Pascal. Not even a proper arch.
Explain this.
Just bought this PC from a friend. Can anyone tell me the brand or model
>>55754253
Is that a floppy drive lol
Open it inside you dumb fuck.
Read the motherboard model.
CPU model.
GPU model.
>>55754253
It's a Compaq FaggOS
Let's assume I don't want anyone to see the contents of this archive (including NSA along with the other three or four letter governamental organisations) but the one who receives it and knows the password. Would it be safe to use 7Zip's encryption then send it via email? Then tell the password by phone?
File over USB stick. Password written by hand then delivered. Then shredded . USB stick formatted after

This, except burn shreds of paper after
Encrypt zip file that is not password protected with 4096 bit PGP.
Hello /g/! I live in an Eastern European country, specifically Romania.
All I'm looking for is a small and lightweight laptop (14" or less). I want to get something priced around 300-350$ that has a proper HDD (no 32 emmc memory) and is also a proper laptop (no 2-in-1 convertible tablet bullshit). For specifications, a multicore CPU with 4GB RAM would be sufficient. I just want to install Linux on it and use it for programming, school stuff and browsing, maybe host a little server from time to time.
Here is the problem. Most of the laptops under 14" in this price range, sold in my country, are shitty 2-in-1 tablets.
Where can I buy a nice laptop from this part of Europe? Would it be wise to buy something from Amazon?
If you were to ever drive through Pooland at that price range i'd offer you one of the lenovo refurbs.
U330, Yoga, flex. Celerons, i3 older i5. Normal hdds.
Isn't there a romanian ebay? We have allegro.

Do you sell ThinkPads in Poland? Do they come with ANSI keyboards?
I'm asking just out of curiosity.
Wanna buy my used T420

6gigs of ram (4+2)
i5 somethin something
I want a w520
only problem is I´m on the extreme left side of europe
Who Bay Area here? Silicon Valley seems comfy. I'm moving out there in a couple weeks to work at pic related.
How has tech impacted the scene there? Are people nice and social? Will I be hated for being in tech? What will I hate about the bay? What will I love?
>>55754113
>How has tech impacted the scene there?
Inflated property prices
>Will I be hated for being in tech?

>What will I hate about the bay?
White collar pajeets that somehow still act like they're back home.
>What will I love?
Fit people. Bonus points if you're homo.
>>55754170
>Kinda
can I avoid that somehow?
>White collar pajeets that somehow still act like they're back home.
how so?
>Bonus points if you're homo.
does this imply there aren't as many fit grills?

do you realize that despite what programmer's say, it would be entirely possible to make an IDE that would make programming as easy and accessible to the public as using photoshop, and that programmers will never make this because they desire job security and they have been indoctrinated to believe they cannot?
so I should trust the opinion of someone who does not program, about programming instead of the opinion of programmers?
Do you ignore what your doctor tells you too?
>>55754084
/thread
>>55754044
Just so we're clear. The general public is not good at using Photoshop. It's a very powerful piece of software, and of all the general public who pirate it, 1% of them probably scratch the surface of it's capabilities, and use it just because the other options are all ultra-shitty.
So what do you know about the new propellant less propulsion device, called EmDrive?
It's an error in measurement.

So I just downloaded MPV for windows 7. Do I really need d3dcompiler_47.dll, libEGL.dll, and libGLESv2.dll? Can I just extract the .exe on the desktop and not use the dll files?
Is it possible to install a hackintosh directly onto a different hard drive via macOS in a virtual machine on Windows and then reboot to have macOS run instead of Windows on the physical computer?
