/g/, I need your help regarding hard drives.

Does SSD give that much of a speed boost for every day tasks such as PDF viewing/editing and Onenote? Or is the benefit primarily for fast boot up? So if I have my laptop on stand up mode or on all the time, it has less noticeable benefits?

I've got 450CAD (ie. ~350USD) to acquire a new monitor to replace my 10 year old 16:10, its viewing angles and overall video quality is just too bad compared to even 200USD monitors today.
Just need visuals good enough for movies and a little editing, 24-27" and hopefully 1440p (or higher(doubt there's something in this price range)). Gaming is not important but might be nice.

Also, Monitors General Thread

Didn't see a career thread so I'm going to ask it here.

I'm deciding between a traditional trade (HVAC) and something geared towards IT like getting some Certs from cisco so I can do network related work which is what I'd like to do.

I already have an associates, but it's in general studies so it's useless tier.

What certs are best if I wanted to do a computer networking related job, CCNA? What else?

Where I live HVAC is always in demand except maybe two months in the winter. It's hard work but it pays well and doesn't take a genius to learn so I'd almost always have work.

I'm worried if I go IT I'll be a guy with certs competing for a job vs some guy that has a CS bachelors or something.

Could I get a decent IT job with certs + my associates? Should I try to get a second associates like an AAS?

Fingerprinting thread begin
https://browserprint.info/
http://panopticlick.eff.org/
Remember, kids, disabling JavaScript is cheating, since many sites require JavaScript to work and fingerprinting code can be included in that mandatory JavaScript.

Some kind anon many threads before posted a link to a story that indicates Google is injecting fingerprint code into their CAPTCHAs.
https://archive.is/9K5gs
This means that the majority of 4chan users could be being fingerprinted, and Google might know about your shitposting habits.
To fix this you can get a pass (which allows you to be tracked by 4chan in a different way), or you can trust the 4chan X extension and use that to run 4chan with all JavaScript disabled.

Daily reminder to do all your Facebook / Youtube / LinkedIn / botnet shit in a completely separate browser to your Googling or buying shit.
It's currently the ONLY way to truly defend against fingerprint tracking.
Double points if you have each browser running in a different VM with a different OS.
Triple points if you have each browser's VM configured with a different VPN.
The Tor Browser Bundle is still susceptible to many fingerprinting attacks that can uncover your true OS and browser.
Spoofing your user-agent is counterproductive unless you use a different user-agent for every site, even if you rotate them every x HTTP requests.

Are there any Chrome extensions that notify me when someone has replied?

I currently use appchan x, and I need to watch a thread, then regularly check it to see if someone has replied...

Would like something similar to Reddits system. I do not want to have to follow/favorite/subscribe to threads, it should be automatic for all my posts.

Is this a thing?

*** 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.

>AMD RX 480 Hits US Stores, Supply 25x Larger Than GTX 1080 At Launch

As an Nvidia fanboy this pisses me right the fuck off. I still have to get a 1080 and I haven't even seen it anyway for sale at MSRP.

What the fuck were you thinking Nvidia with this paper launch instead of a real launch.
