Is it any good for a slightly experienced user who hasn't ventured far outside of Debian and Ubuntu?

I thought it was all memes, but today I browsed his site and holy shit, this guy is deranged. This is what I know so far:

>won't use nonfree Javascript at Mcdonalds
>'yo send me an encrypted mail, but don't trust the key servers lol'
>if a software isn't compatible with some OS, then the OS is imposing censorship over what programs the user can install and is inherently evil
>not like it matters anyway, because anyone making proprietary software is scum and should stop/fail
>it is wrong to protect the authors' work with DRM, if somebody else tries to protect their creation, that's an attack on your freedom
>proprietary software is an attack on your freedom too
>people complained that they didn't want free music in their iThings, thus Apple is to blame, because they instilled such shallow thinking in their users
>in order to protect your freedom, some of the things listed above should be made illegal; thus removing someone else's freedom to do something (e.g. the freedom to create proprietary software and use it to generate profit)
>ideally, proprietary software shouldn't exist. thus implying that everything should be free software (Let's ignore the fact that 95% of free software is shit and subpar to proprietary software.)

But how can I even generate revenue, assuming that the mere act of asking isn't an attack on your freedom?

>"users can easily send authors anonymous voluntary payments." (This is literally what he thinks. Let's just replace a $400 billion industry with a system where people work for free and other people give them donations in exchange.)

It's clear to me that he's lost contact with reality at least partially, also he's a commie. I could easily imagine him becoming a bomber or a terrorist of some sort with free software as a political motivation. How come he's such a fringe lunatic but nobody seems concerned?

My father just reinstalled Windows 7 and the Windows update does not fetch any updates. What might be the problem?

Using Windows 7.

>>55557430
For Microsoft, not using Windows 10 is the problem.
>>
>>55557440
>>55557452
So they're deliberately trying to get people to upgrade to Windows 10? Still?

I want to run some servers (wiki, ftp, etc.) on a separate computer with a decent HD on it (probably 1TB).

Mostly just for personal use and fun. Is anyone else doing this or tried this? Would like to hear some stories about how it went for you?

Also I wonder where to find all the potential boards for it. I know about raspi and don't want one so I'm thinking I'll probably get a beaglebone black.

What do people mean they want to run servers?

To me all servers are, are game servers like hosting your own bf4 server or minecrap server...

I guess ftp makes sense, but what the fuck do you mean running a wiki server. What even is that?
>>
>>55558684
>To me all servers are, are game servers

/v/ pls.
>>
>>55558748
>completely disregarding the fact that I immediately mentioned ftp servers make sense too

But wtf is a wiki server. Like you're gonna make your own wiki for whatever and then host it? Or you're hosting an already established wiki just for yourself? If not how do you host it and get it out to public?

Hello g

I have an old Nokia 1110i(pic related) lying around. Are there any fun projects I can do with it to get a basic understanding of electronics.

I majored in liberal arts, have minimal experience working with tech

A random cellphone is useless to learn electronics. Get an Arduino or other basic electronic kit designed for learning from.

Yes. Step two on your way to the masterrace is to turn on autohide, remove all the icons, and forget the dock exists

I used to be a dark-fag. Computing with dark themed interfaces with the blinds shut, but for over a year I converted to the light and I think it's way better for you.

Open the blinds, let the sunshine in, and use the default "light" themes for everything.

What's the best way to store unused wires and cables?

Like that, and then you dump it somewhere on your desk and forget what's in the clump.

I actually organized my big tangled box of cables a few months ago.

All I did was get like 20 plastic grocery store bags and start putting types of cables into their own separate bag. Nothing is labeled and I still have to search for shit, but now I search for a cable by going through my pile of bags instead of pulling it all out as one big wad of cables and sifting through the mess.

not cheap grocery type
so they don't punch holes in it

My phone battery suddenly started draining super fast (From 10 hours battery life down to 45 minutes battery life), and the phone gets really hot when it's on, even just on the home screen. Is it just the battery thats fucked?

Let us count how many games besides DOOM use Vulkan. Also, there's a 13fps difference between Vulkan 1070 and Vulkan 480 so it doesn't get the same performance

I'm going to be moving to a big city for college and wanted to know where the sketchy areas were located. There used to be an app called Sketchfactor that was Yelp-like and compiled user-submitted sketchy activities. However, it has since been taken down by SJWs so I'm looking for an alternative.

I'm on Android but a website would be the next best thing.

Thanks.
