Winblows 10 parjeets literally BLOWN THE FUCK OUT by Steve Gibson
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxGmQWrNQC4&t=12m12s
tl;dr
> Windows 10 is not more secure
> Windows 10 is not a different OS
> In fact, newer, probably lower quality code which is a trend nowadays with all the cheap workforce from India, could have even more bugs when compared to older, more mature, well proven code
> Said newer code being yet another layer on top of the old one

Meaningless when the code isn't auditable.

Well, that's apparently every pajeets' argument for winblows 10 nowadays.

nice try, Ramesh
Hey guys i need help. I cant fucking figure this out.
>friend brings over old tower says i can have it
>take out ram from my pc and troubleshoot it
>everything seems fine if abut outdated
>put ram back in main pc
>1 long beep and 2 short ones
>look it up apparently motherboard cant detect ram
>wtf?
>try it again with friends ram
>still beeping
>try my friends and my ram on friends tower
>it works perfectly
What the fuck happened? It cant be the ram as they both work on my friends pc. Is it my motherboard? How could the ram ports possibly be damaged? I literally did nothing wrong

/g/ is not your personal tech support
sounds like the ram isn't seated correctly & is improperly installed
make sure to build up some nice static electricity by rubbing the ram sticks in quick circles on the carpet

Are you matching the pair properly?

I don't know what is this, but LibreOffice fully suffices my needs.
>>
>>54977401
Depends on what you want to do with it...
I don't know WPS, but here is my experience with LO of what works and what not.
- creating simple texts like letters or assignments you don't care to much about. Works
- creating homeworks or bachelor thesis. Works. If the kerning pisses of the prof, even better.
- creating semantical styled rich text: It's actually a nightmare in every office and other software, as there is no proper rich text semantical highlighted software dedicated to it.
- tables: works, as long as you don't rely too much on VBA macros
- presentations: somewhat works as long you don't care for compability, buggy though, so if you do this often
About the rest, I don't know, but who knows if this WPS covers this.

There is literally nothing wrong with LibreOffice.

I just bought a new open box puter on eBay. What steps should I take to make sure it's safe to use? I don't want any spyware or stuff like that. I'll factory reset if I have to.

Why do people freak out the second they encounter any sort of computer trouble? Windows and most softwares hold your hand through every step but people can't be assed to read what's in front of them.

Beautiful and functional. It should take the mantle of the premier open source mail client from Thunderbird since TB development is apparently stagnating.

Literally the best mail client. Electron apps are the future. Don't let these /g/entoomen tell you it sucks because JavaScript.

I am pretty sure this was already discussed but I really wanted to read people opinions nowadays.
I am planning to dual boot Windows and Linux. I would be using Windows for playing games and Linux for general use like browsing, coding, watching streams and etc. My question is: Which version of Windows should I use nowadays? I read around mixed opinions, some say it's better to go with Windows 7 and some say Windows 10 Enterprise is okay to use.
What is /g/ opinion?

8.1 is the last good windows. make sure to run gwx control panel or never10
>>
>>54977007
I would recommend Windows 7, but it depends if you are going to use Win8-only programs.
DirectDraw in the Win8 is shit so old games will be running awfully slow.
what the fuck is this?
