My monitor is shitting out. It's still usable but not worth keeping anymore. And it's been frustrating, so instead of throwing it out I want to destroy it as gloriously as possible.

Ideas?

make a termite bomb.

Basically make termite, then put a charge of black powder in the core.

Place the monitor in the middle of the EU parliament and put the bomb under it.

For extra effect put a load of nails inside the termite. they will glow from the heat and make nice sparks during the explosion.

Plus, you get mad props by the EU for arranging such a spectacle.

you are welcome.

Im looking at getting a new version of firefox, or at least a newer then what i have version.

Haven't used firefox in years, but chrome keeps shitting out on me so I want to see if i can move back to firefox or not.

I don't know what forks are good
I don't know what forks there are
I don't know where to start
I just know normal firefox is likely not the best option.

Anyone able to help out, and able to tell me of any new extensions or features that have been added in the last 3 years.

Normal firefox is fine if you adjust some settings (like disable pocket and hello in about:config and turn off start menu ads) and install the right addons
Personally I use iceweasel which is almost the same.
If you want it to be safe out of the box maybe try icecat. It's good but I disagree with a couple of its addon choices and it follows the ESR firefox release which is too outdated for me personally

Will ESR fuck me over with normal web use?
I value stability over bleeding edge so long as my shit works, I currently have Cyberfox 22 installed, and most shit won't work with it because it's too old.

There is also the shit where if I open a bunch of tabs, it uses resources, but if I close them all it doesn't give everything back.

Any info I find is dated so I'm relying on 4chan right now.

1) Use the Live ISO directly without installing anything, that way, you can get a "full GNU/Linux experience".
2) Dual-boot GNU/Linux with Windows/Mac (recommended if you want to learn more about GNU/Linux)
3) Go balls deep and overwrite everything with GNU/Linux

Before asking, please search for answers to your questions in resources.

Please be civil, notice the "Friendly" in every Friendly GNU/Linux Thread.

So are AMD fanboys brainless or what?

2xGPU with 57% utilization match a single GTX1080.

57% utilization then the game is pretty much running off 1 card, 1 card should be able to match the GTX1080 then.

So what was the point of using two cards?

And lets not go into the image quality being lower on the AMD side.

I tried renting Fellowship of the Ring from the iTunes Store. I accidentally interrupted the download. Now, whenever I try to resume, it tells me to go to the downloads tab to manage my downloads. When I go there, it says I have no downloads pending. I looked up how long it takes for a movie rental to expire, and apparently it's thirty days until it goes away if I don't start watching it. Seeing as I CANT start watching it, I'm absolutely fucked. Putting aside being ripped off $2.99, it's just sitting there taking up 2gb of my 16gb (I know, poor as hell.) Someone please help.

Hi /g/
Is there a totally wireless router where I can receive WiFi signals from a modem and transmit them to multiple devices?
Will a Raspberry Pi work?
Should I just build my own?

Also the option of Mac address changing when receiving WiFi is needed
Thanks

It's called a wireless access point. Most routers can be configured to act as one. If you want a low-power solution to run on battery then I guess a Pi could do it.

Is the multi-monitor meme true? Or just a merchant gimmick?

Would you go for a higher resolution single tile or a lower resolution multi-monitor?
3 1080ps vs single 1440p or 4k

I'm guessing dual-monitors doesn't have much use in gayming.

My dual setup is useful at work, but I still use a single 1080p one at home. I'm thinking about upgrading to 1440p, though.

What's the lifespan of these niggers?

I got mined at least over 4 years ago if not 6 or so more years ago. It's that long I'm not even sure desu. Thing is, just now I turned my Laptop on and the light under the scroll wheel (the light on the left in the pic) comes on, but the other lights and functions aren't working at all.

The mouse clicks don't work, the scrolling, the logo fading light doesn't come on and most importantly the led light isn't coming on either.

Has it finally died or mayhaps there is some issue?
