I don't name a specific model, because if you buy a monitor which is not the cheapest of the cheap it doesn't make that much of a difference, just a couple of tips: First make sure you have a monitor with a quality panel - no TN.

The more people TOR use, the more secure it becomes. All attacks base on analyzing incoming and outgoing traffic or monitoring nodes which use outdated tor version. And why should be using "open wifi networks" more secure or anony

I am surprised that the EFF is recommending two factor auth instead of avoiding Google, Facebook etc. at all. Also no mention not to use certain proprietary OS. I think this list provides some better overview of alternatives: https:/&

This is just snake oil marketing from the politicians and german ISPs. First they did not care at all when 82 million people were spied on (they literally said, that this debate was over and all question have been answered) and now they mak

Just Install Firefox (or Chromium, not Chrome) and install some extension and you have the same from a much more trustworthy source.

Since I always partially upgrade my machine, I can tell. But the oldest piece (aside from the case) is the Radeon HD6870. Rest is FX8320, 16GiB ram, SSD. The oldest thing I use is probably my "travel laptop" Thinkpad T43.

Yeah. The last major thing for PCs in the past couple years were probably SSDs.

Difference between Radeon and Fire Pro is only in the driver certification/support. edit: also this thread is kinda pointless, because it should be well know that you can build the same machine for much less money when going by the raw

when it was revealed they spy on everyone of us, they said: ahh no big deal, americans are our friends. And now they found out they personally were spied on, it's suddenly super horrible and evil. Fuck them.

I played the C64 version a while ago and it really hasn't aged well. If you want to play it (again) you should go straight with the MSDOS (plus) version.

This whole thing is no _big_ news at at all. I wonder what they define with "scope". If they are talking about 21+22 thats around ~12 months ahead, so even less big news.

The interesting thing is of course: >DNF is the default package manager instead of Yum, which only works with Python 2 Otherwise no big news, since all other major distros are switching to default python 3 too.

I think it will help not exclusively _Linux_ but it will help more to get real support behind graphics drivers. Sure, some of this is directly related to the kernel (like power management, switchable graphics etc.) but mostly it is stuff wh

Probably also a bit of Nokia hate. They basically axed everything interesting they worked on, missed every innovation (totally not related to Elop) and got bought for really cheap by MS (totally not related to Elop).

Yes, the more people monitoring the better. But in this situation someone has to be in charge and make a decision. And nobody wants to be that guy.
