So about 3 hours ago someone posted this image on /g/. It 404'd but im making the thread in hopes that its a complex arg that we can continue (probably isn't but whatever).

It seems the text around the eye translates with a rot23 ceasar cipher. The red text translates to "first letter here" The green text translates to "display here" and the violet text under the black side translates to "imgur is a chill site". Thats all I have so far.

What do you think?

I'm done with this fucking company.

>have $1000 Dell ultrabook for 2 years (just out of warranty)
>all of a sudden it starts randomly shutting down with no warning
>ok, probably overheating. Download coretemp and realtemp. temps max out in the 50's and 60's. not overheating.
>I KNOW it's a hardware issue because the problem sometimes happens before it even starts loading Windows.
>Battery? No, because it happens even when I'm running on A/C power. I buy a battery anyway just to see and the fucking machine refuses to boot or even get into BIOS because it's a third party component. $50 wasted.
>call Dell and explain my issue, the person says they will do a full scan of the computer and remove malware if I pay them $200.
>WHAT THE FUCK that wouldn't do a single thing
>take the computer to a local repair shop, the people say it's an issue with the heatsink and that it needs to be replaced.
>they say it's overheating even though realtemp doesn't show high temps
>I give it to them anyway, they replace the heatsink with $200 repair fee of parts + labor
>I get the laptop back and the problem STILL ISN'T FUCKING FIXED
>can't get a refund from the repair place

Why does tech support with these companies have to be such utter shit? At least with Apple they'd actually fix my fucking computer and not have me waste hundreds of dollars for nothing.

I'm now shopping for macs. Fuck prebuilt PC's. I can build my own desktops but won't go near another prebuilt Windows laptop in my life.

Hey /g/ is this processor still a meme? It's currently $50 at my local micro center. current setup has a fx-6300 that isn't exaclty cutting it in CPU bound games like Arma 3 and DAYZ. I also work in music production where the fx 6300 can disappoint at stock clock speeds. Should I switch for these reasons? I don't plan to play many triple A games that suggest more than 2 cores.

Should I buy an off-brand replacement battery or pay up for a genuine Lenovo one? I want to save money but don't want my computer to explode.

Can someone recommend a good, cheap brand?

>BU BU BU BU BUT BSD ISN'T AS EASY TO SET UP AS GNU/LINUX!
FreeBSD is easy to set up, and has the best documentation of any software project on the Internet. Full stop.

>BU BU BU BU BUT MUH DRIVERS
FreeBSD has millions of device drivers due to having a full featured development suite and source code available upon installation, ready for modification.

>BU BU BU BU BUT MOOOM, MUH GAYYYYUMZ
FreeBSD comes with a number of optional games to install, and more games are being ported every day.

FreeBSD is the most stable OS in the world, when properly configured, and has major contributions to the source code from skilled developers working at companies like Netflix, and NGINX.

Welcome to /fglt/ - Friendly GNU/Linux Thread.
Users of all levels are welcome to ask questions about GNU/Linux and share their experiences.

*** Please be civil, notice the "Friendly" in every Friendly GNU/Linux Thread. ***

Before asking for help, please check our list of resources[*].

If you would like to try out GNU/Linux you can do one of the following:
0) Install a GNU/Linux distribution of your choice in a Virtual Machine using VirtualBox or other software made for this puporse for safety purposes.
1) Use the Live ISO (if your distribution of choice has one) to boot directly into the GNU/Linux distribution without installing anything, that way, you can get to experience the GNU/Linux operating system without installing it.
2) Dual boot the GNU/Linux distribution of your choice along with Windows or macOS, this is recommended if you want to know more about the GNU/Linux operating system.
3) Go balls deep and replace everything with GNU/Linux.
