I come to you in a time of great need, /g/
I got a new laptop with windows 10 and every time I press Caps Lock or Num Lock this appears in the middle of my screen for a few seconds and it's really fucking annoying. I´ve spent plenty of time in the settings menu and I have no idea how to stop it.
Please help me. Pretty please

Samsung exclusive protection basically. It's an e fuse in the phone. You trip it by rooting, going into recovery, using a rom, etc. Once it's tripped you can't use certain system apps ever again including samsung pay

litirally only stax shills are saying that
senns (other than the drop sale ones) have been (and still are) some of the most durable cans you can get, with replacement pads my (momentum on ear) sens have lasted longer than both my vmodas, two laptops and a DAP.
6 fucking years, beat up, and thrown in a school bag every day for the first 4 years of its life. still working fine, and still looking new. (the pads are a bit garfed due tho them being on ear alcantara tho)
>>
>>73272329
The pads are okay. The problem is at first i feel it nice, but as the time goes on i start to feel this presure. I dont know if its because they are closed, or if its too tight...

only reel to reel at 15 IPS maybe but your average cassette deck at 1 7/8 IPS sounds like shit
>>
>>73272875
I dunno mate, they sound decent, Dolby B is at least on pair with Vinyl, and Dolby S is better. Vinyls aren't that great anyway. I sometimes buy cassette tape releases nowadays if they come with digital file as well. I have DD22 and D6C walkmans are they are cool little devices of bygone era.

I don't like having to reconfigure everything when the OS shits itself and needs a reinstall. Storing config files in the apps own directory makes them 100% portable and usable on a fresh install with no setup.

what the fuck are these actually supposed to represent?
>>
>>73272960
Roaming is the folder that would be synchronized with a server if you logged into a domain with a roaming profile (enabling you to log into any computer in a domain and access your favorites, documents, etc. Firefox stores its information here, so you could even have the same bookmarks between computers with a roaming profile.

Local is the folder that is specific to that computer - any information here would not be synchronized with a server. This folder is equivalent in Windows XP to C:\Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Application Data.

LocalLow is the same folder as local, but it has a lower integrity level. For example, Internet Explorer 8 can only write to the LocalLow folder (when protected mode is on).

Hope that helps!

Pardon my intrusion but I was wondering what you guys would recommend to someone that wants to do IT stuff not as a job but as a hobby.

>>73272702
I agree completely, neckbeard (Dawkins, Hitchens et Al) atheism is incredibly dogmatic but
A) they don't make up all, or even most, atheists. Those people are a very loud minority
B) he was making an argument for cultural christianity, which is something those neckbeard le enlightened atheists have come round to promoting but which is rejected by pretty much everyone else
C) bonus : if he wasn't making a claim of cultural christianity he was saying that atheists are literal christians

In short: he's a moron.
>>
>>73249062
He is very wrong. If you want to make the internet better, and its dominated by one monopolistic corporation, then you don't just go work for that monopolistic corporation. You create an alternative. The problem with "If you can't beat them, then join them." Is that you will never beat anyone if you don't try.
