All applel memes aside, would a keyboard from the G4 era be a decent budget gaming keyboard? My family had the flat panel G4 but I don't remember anything about the keyboard in particular. They go for around $15 on eBay if you shop around a bit.

Apple has the worst peripherals of any company ever. They are without question the shittiest keyboards I've ever used.
>>54872472
Fuck you. ALPS switches are GOAT.
I guess as long as it's mechanical i'll be a significant improvement over a modern silicon one. Since it's cheap as fuck i'd say buy it.
Can sombody who is more techsavvy than me please explain what the difference is between DirectX and Vulkan? So if I understand correctly they compete with each other, right? How are they different? What are the pros and cons?
>>54872306
DirectX is proprietary and hates your freedom.
Vulcan is free as in freedom.
DirectX is established and widely used. Vulcan is newer and cross platform.
>>54872306
google it, there is more than one site explaining it in detail
What cool stuff can I do with gpedit.msc?
Enable bitlocker when you don't have a TPM module.
>>54872284
There's nothing "cool" that can be done with it.
>>54873200
Actually you can disable the lock screen in Windows 8.1 and that's pretty "cool".
Hey /g/, I need some help.
A friend of mine lent me a Samsung S3 to retrieve some repair parts, but then I also remembered his old cell phone could be a gold mine of fap material from his ex girlfriend.
Problem is the cellphone doesn't turn on, and I was wondering if you could help me do a backup of its memory.
I will post the pictures on /s/ if I succeed.
give it fucking back,jamal.
>>54872227
Well first you'll have to turn it on.
>>54872270
Isn't there a way to power the motherboard and acces the memory without turning it on? Like a memory stick.
ITT we post tech we find interesting.
In compliance with the latest theme on /g/ I'm posting the gigabyte super OC HD7970.
I just think tube clocks are real fucking neato. Going to build one myself soon.

>>54872079
Hell yeah! But arent those tubes expensive?

Seems like someone was too retarded to get in to MIT.
>>54871569
MIT is shit
They barely learn any math or theory
>>54871569
Really? Is that what they send to applicants who got accepted?
No offense, but that looks like spam.
I put my mSata m550 crucial SSD ( onboard ssd ) into a WWAN port in an older HP notebook. I tought this was an mSata port cause it fits.
Can anyone tell me if I broke my ssd by doing this? thanks
also how can i get to the data on the ssd, do i really neeed to buy a msata to usb tool?
mpcie ≠ msata
>>54871555
yeah ok i know that now but did i potentially kill my msata ssd by placing it in there and powering on the machine?
>>54871607
pins shouldn't align. just turn of the machine and take it out. look for a usb2.0 to msata device.

Why? /g/ is already working for me, for f r e e
How would you improve the trading floor /g/?
Well, I'd start by elevating the desk jockey relative to his monitors. Can't be good for the neck looking up at those top ones.
Add mousepads
>>54871347
>Can't be good for the neck looking up at those top ones.
And this is where priorities come into order.
Just put useless shit up top that you rarely need.

Name one reason why the RX 380 won't be the new low to mid range solution.
>>54871196

>>54871196
Not enough advertising
Because the 480 is retailing for $200, that's fucking why
did you mean to type 480?

My room mate and I thought about a similar concept some time ago.
But ours wouldn't have been this great because we thought about using piano keys.
That idea wasn't meant for WASD of course.
>>54871190
>piano keys
Explain more.
Did you tough on using real piano keys with mech action or synth keyboard ones?
Fit hall effect sensors under the keys, glue magnets under the caps, tie the hall effects to an arduino, emulate a gamepad with 4 axis, voila.
For some time now Linux supporters have been trying to distance themselves from the concept that it is Communistic by nature and anti-capitalistic by design. These efforts took a rather large step back last week when Richard Stallman, president and founder of the Free Software Foundation, played the nationalist card and convinced Cuba to go with Linux.
Saying that copyrights violate basic morality is certainly consistent, but probably doesn't play that well for much of the professional market for Linux, which probably lives under copyright protection for verticals like pharmaceuticals, publishing, manufacturing and technology.
With a proprietary product someone clearly owns the brand. I could argue that Microsoft does perhaps the poorest job of maintaining the positive qualities of its brand of any company I cover, but at least they have not positioned it as being anti-American. At least not yet. Granted, large companies can make mistakes because they are made up of humans, but there are a number of protections in place that should reduce the exposure of a company product suddenly being the poster child of terrorists or other hostile entities.
In fact, who protects the Linux brand and would be responsible from making sure it didn't show up on a terrorist site with the words "death to America"?
