Post your stations
this is my finished thinkcenter, went from a pentium 4 and 2gb of ram to a 3.3ghz pentium g and 8gb of hyperx fury + a gt430
it plays insurgency and csgo and cost me about 200$ total, one monitor was free, the dell i got for 10$
Finally got a new phone that can actually take "good" pictures in low light enmvironments.
My battlestation as of yesterday.

Thinking about buying the 350D. Any word on a 750D with no window?
I feel like I might as well confess this since it's anonymous and it doesn't really matter. As a Nexus 6P and an Arch Linux thinkpad user, I would much rather be using an iPhone and a MacBook. I just don't have the money. People who tell you otherwise are either lying, or tricked themselves into thinking that they like it better. Sorry but deep down you guys know it's the truth and someone's gotta say it.

I don't think I want a smartphone that can't even run Flash or an OS that I have absolutely no control over it.
Quick reminder, C is the only real programming language, and any other programming language is pajeet/sjw tier. In other words, kys node, swift, python, and Ruby fags.

Pajeet detected. Someone is too busy 'learning' his swftnodejsruby++ to learn a real language.

Is this software viable? I mean a software that access a p2p network in any place of the world allowing to view your files almost instantly without saving them in your device with top speed? In any place of the world? Is that possible?
>>55291090
How is p2p any faster then just using a cloud service?
How is Pied Piper more effective then Dropbox or Google Drive?

You'll be happier in the long run as a dentist + job stability.
I work as a field tech atm. Currently studying to get in to a networking role, as I'm sick of dealing with monkeys.
IT is pretty shit unless you can get in to a higher position. Then it's only half shit.

OP here, that may look nasty but that's what I have my operative staff and hygienist for. The "grossest" thing I do hands on is maybe cut out gum tissue that appears cancerous but that's about it. I literally use a mouth mirror, sgc 13/14, and then leave the room after 5 minutes.
Sup /g/, after 2 FUCKING HOURS, I finally installed arch, but now, what do?
What are the basics should I install?

It's not the worst distro, but there's nothing it offers that makes it worth using over any other distros and it has the worst fucking user base.

But it doesn't fail to let me down every single time. I'm not saying that it doesn't work, it does work, but the problem is that you have to make it work; simple tasks often turn into projects when using Linux, and that's fucking retarded.
Just today I was trying to get my video card running after a fresh install of Windows 7 and Ubuntu 16. In Windows it was a simple question of downloading the driver from the website, while in Linux I'm faced with the choice of either using and open driver or a makeshit official driver or a third driver that's neither open or official. Why do I have all these options? You guessed it, because none actually works for all cases.
So I decided to install the offical driver, and apparently I have to download three files that are used to generate the source, and then compile that source to generate a package that then I have to install manually. How can they complicate something simple so much? I get it that some people are interested in the source, and it's cool that you can have it, But why isn't there an easy option for the basic users? Why can't Linux have auto installers for everything like Windows does? From a practical perspective, if you can either use an OS that's 100% functional after installing it, or another one that will take days to be fully operational, be it for commercial or personal the choice is a no brainer.
>>55290871
2/2
I did that shit to install my driver (for an outdated version of my distro, because they don't have one for the latest yet), and it turns out that it doesn't work with my desktop environment. Silly me for not seeing 200 steps and three days ahead when I was choosing my desktop environment. But it's not like it matters, because all DEs are broken in some way.
I really want to like Linux because the idea of open software is nice, but in reality it just results in several different software choices that don't work, for several different distros that don't work either, and then you can pimp it with one of several DEs that (you guessed it) are broken too. Probably 0.01% of open software works at an acceptable level, and that's what makes it shit; I hate corporations as much as the next guy, but this is just true. How do you Linux users deal with this fact?
>>55290874
You are looking in the wrong spot. Ubuntu provides a neat tool called "Additional Drivers" or a command line utility of the same tool. Looks like pic related. Then just apt-get the packages in the list and be done.
there is right way and convenient way
if beeing a slave/servant was hard there wouldn't be so many throughout history no?
Yo folks, Red Hat actually has a free PaaS service to host your crap on, and they enabled custom cartridges with custom startup scripts. Its neato.

why does OpenBSD not have jails, like FreeBSD?
The fuck is a jail? Why does it matter
>>55290750
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/jails.html
it matters if you don't want your server to get r00ted
>>55290732
It'll have virtualization soon.
Should be safer than a jail in theory because it probably doesn't share anything with the host.

>people buy the budget AMD card with a budget cpu

What's the point of AMD? They're no good in the budget end because of the driver overhead, and they're no good in the enthusiast tier because Nvidia flagships usually perform better.
When will they fix their drivers? Or will they just force dx12 down our throats instead?
If they fix their drivers, both on windows and Linux, they will be a viable option for many people who understand the issue and go with nvidia because of it.
>>55290664
>driver overhead
I thought crimson was supposed to fix that?
What the fuck is wrong with AMD? I don't want to have to upgrade to the botnet for competitive performance.
>>55290664
Looks like an old graph from September 2014 which is when the 970 was launched (see filename). Nice try Nvidia shill.
>>55290664
>Or will they just force dx12 down our throats instead?
Most likely. I doubt that shit is easy to fix or I'm sure they would have done it already. Whether it's related to their hardware somehow or the driver was just poorly designed I have no idea, but having experienced it myself it really is quite shit. It's not even an issue of "woe is me I can't run my games at 200FPS" since this shit can have very visible negative effects in terms of overall smoothness due to frame time variation.
>>55290760
There have been some minor improvements over time but nothing major, it won't make a scene that is a stuttering mess due to overhead run buttery smooth.
