Lets do the math:

3840*2160 = 8294400 pixels
8294400 * RGB (3 byte) = 24883200 byte =
24883200 byte = 23.7 MiB
144 hz * 23.7 = 3412.8 MiB

That is 3.4 GiB per second.
Soo, simple answer is, its to much data to handle for current technology.

Because currently no computer can power a 4k display at 144hz for gaming. Even current games still cap out at about 90 with gtx 1080s in sli.

Theres no point in getting one for watching movies, since theyre 24 fps usually not 4k

>>55178136
1080 can do it. Are you poor perhaps?

You can make a LUKS image file and store your couple ripped movies and songs there.

But if you use the system every day you shouldn't forget the password. Write it down and after using it for a week you can burn the paper.

Well I didn't lose the login credentials, I just lost the 50 character key I used to encrypt the home directory. And how does one go about creating a LUKS image within the user directory, because that's where they'd be.

I use tablets almost everyday atm, theyre currently helping me get rid of my flu

I only use tablets to read manga and fap to crossdressing doujinshi, but they're great for what they are.

Must be comfy. I just have a TV on the bed with wireless keyboard and a horde of pillows, it's max comfy when I don't want to even move.

Second hand MBP

Second hand thinkpad

I got my fully specced 2012 iMac 27" for $650. That's extremely lucky, though.

Debian Linux, because it's easy enough for an idiot like me to install/use and it comes with minimal garbage (unless you select the garbage during installation). One thing I wish would be improved is hardware support. Too often I have to search far and wide to get the drivers I need for some device or another. Usually networking.

One is an environment in which to perform desktop tasks, the other is for managing windows

Pre- and post-puberty

>>55177595
Desktop environments provide a suite of tools to do things whereas window managers control just control the windows and the desktop

For example, the KDE bundle comes with a bunch of different software like dolphin for file management, kate for notes and a login manager (kdm), but the window manager itself is just plasma desktop.

Window managers are just the things that draw the windows, like xfwm, openbox, etc. You will usually have to download extra things to get them to work functionally, like a panel/taskbar.

Don't.

If it's used, it means it's already lasted many years, there's nothing to prove.
if you mean testing for overheating, you should open it up, clean out the dust and reapply thermal paste to the fan heatpipe assembly.

run memtest to check the ram
stress test the cpu and gpu with benchmarking programs
try writing a big file (4gb+) and a few hundred small files to see if the hdd shows any issues

but as was said above, buying a used laptop is usually not a good idea since there are many parts prone to failure

>>55177561
>buying a used laptop is usually not a good idea
If you know what you're doing then no.
Buying an HP Pavilion from that gamer kid who used it for the last 5 years constantly plugged in to play the epik gaymes is definitely not a good idea
But buying used business machines for 1/5th of the original price from corporations with minimal wear (mine was pretty much brand new) is a very good idea

Are you 14 or 15?

>>55177533

No. My dick size is a healthy 20cm. And no, I'm just extremely bored at work thanks to being extremely efficient at it.

I was staying in a motel one time and the idiots were "charging" for broadband overuse, yet they had a home modem and an ip camera connected to it, all with the login admin/admin

The left chick has deflated tits. Fucking disgusting.

I want to stay home and eat ice cream while I push CoC commits to random software projects on github and receive a monthly income on patreon for doing it.

>>55177388
at her age, that means she's probably a smoker since she was a teen - most women who have tits like that do. Nicotine destroys elastin and causes premature tit sag. if she's making decent cash, get a tit job, she's look much better...
