These guys just saved my bacon about a half hour ago because I did something idiotic. And let's face it: no matter how careful we are we always have a glorious absence of sound judgement. So let's take a moment and thank the authors of our choice antivirus/antimalware programs.

In b4 "Common Sense 2XXX".

This thread is solely for the discussion of GNU/Linux ricing, advice on customization, WMs, terminals, and other software. And is separate from the normal GNU/Linux "general". That means no distro-shilling, or otherOS shilling. And is not the "desktop thread", although users from other OS are invited while they don't shill.

>/g/ hates Microsoft because muh botnet
>/g/ hates Intel and Nvidia because muh Jewish business practices
How asspained will /g/ be if Microsoft buys AMD? I know it's just a rumor, but with AMD showing they have valuable assets at the company now that they've shown Polaris isn't a failure and Zen is shaping up to be good too, I think Microsoft would be more interested in buying AMD now.

Just right now, there are users, who installed a server version of Windows for their home PCs to use it daily.
Question: why did you do that? Why exactly Server?

i went to a garage sale today and picked up a few things including some old telephone equipment. i been trying to research the models of these devices but it is nearly impossible to find any information on them.

the one in the black box is a mystery.. i can't even find any information on the company itself other than an expired trademark registration. any one know what the hell this thing is?

About a month ago, I started having a problem where staticy horizontal lines gash across both monitors seemingly at random (although usually worse when the video card is working harder) and cause the screen to flicker momentarily. Example: http://i.imgur.com/P7BKlhv.gif (Sorry for the quality - video was clipped to protect the privacy of people.) The lines appear across both monitors in the same exact place at the same time. They don't appear in desktop recordings/screenshots/etc. (Pic related is not my actual computer)

I've reseated the GPU, all cables, dusted my computer, made sure nothing was overheating, made sure both monitors have the same refresh rate, did clean installs of the GPU drivers and software, updated my mobo's BIOS, and even replaced the GPU. The problem only occurs when both monitors are plugged into the GPU and are both being used. (Setting my projection mode to PC screen only or Second screen only makes the issue go away, also having one monitor plugged into my integrated GPU and the other into my discrete GPU resolves the issue.) When this started, I occasionally got a blue screen error "thread stuck in device driver". (Just got my replacement GPU yesterday, haven't had a blue screen yet.)

My only ideas are electrical feedback (as many connected components of my PC are plugged into separate outlets) or software/firmware conflicts. I doubt it's electrical feedback because I didn't have the issue with months of frequent use and it suddenly happened out of the blue one day. Not to mention if the blue screen error is related, that makes it highly unlikely

Hey guys,

I think I have a ghost in my shower. Can anybody recommend a HD spycam, preferably with the ability to connect via the net?

what's so bad about closed source?
If the developer wants to make money, he will do so most with closed source.
and what if its collecting some data. I know this isn't an argument, but what is the likelyness they're using it for malicious purposes.
my gut tells me its very unlikely for most closed source, except windows and big software which have a lot of users and thus data to sell.

Unrelated, but how do GPL people know if a closed-source software is a copy of their program?
Its closed-source, right, how do they check if they don't have access?

What are some goat wireless/Bluetooth earbuds? I use them when I lift and I don't like when the wire gets in the way of my squats and diddlys.

Added bonus if reliable and good sound quality. Less than 150 please but I can stretch a little if you can argue for it.

Otherwise I'm getting pic related Jay birds
