Apple : You can still use CMD, you just have to dongle-chain 3+ apps to get it to work. Oh yeah, and that'll be $500. You're welcome.

Google : We've decided arbitrarily to change CMD to DMC, but we'll probably switch it back and forth 2 or 3 times in the coming week. Business dependencies? What are they?

Amazon : CMD will be replaced by a flying mothership powered by cosmic rays. (*Bong sounds)

HP : We've decided to sell off CMD and focus on shit people no longer need or want instead.

IBM : Spending 200 million on our own cutting-edge CMD app was probably not a good idea, but hell, it's just money right? We're IBM, it's fine.

Adobe : In order to use CMD, you simply have to sign up for our $200 a month subscription service to everything else we sell. What a deal!

Facebook : Anything you type into a CMD prompt is FB property and will be tattooed on your soul forever. #Progress. 'Zuck '2042

WSJ : We will no longer call CMD line input "commands", we'll just fill your screen with DOS and let the reader decide what it is.

Trump : I love CMD, it's the best for hacking. Very strong commands! Why is Bash so weak and girly?

Oracle: Now that you're using CMD, we're going to shake you down for licensing fees or sue you.

Congress: CMD is flawed so we should dismantle it without a good alternative in place. With fewer regulations and more tax cuts, the market will create a better CMD.

Samsung: KABOOM

Liberals: Trump loves CMD, so it's probably sexist or racist.

Conservatives: Liberals hate CMD so we love CMD.

Be Ian Murdoch.

You love your wife so much you name the masterpiece of your life after your names. Debra + Ian = Debian.

Debian.

After 15 years she leaves you taking with her half of your money and a chunk of your heart. Debian - Debra = Ian?

Debian.

She found a new lover immediately but after 6 years you still can't get over the divorce. You are alone. Worse of all every day at work you hear about 'Debian' and it reminds you of her.

Debian debian debian.

Then "women in open source" start telling you everything is white-men's fault. Why aren't you doing anything for women in tech? Aren't you ashamed of your privilege you fucking cis-scum? And even with all your privilege you are alone.

Debian debian debian debian.

Maybe at the bottom of the next bottle I'll find some solace.

Then the neighbour yells "install gentoo you fucking faggot!", it's blind rage.

Next thing you know a cop is strip-searching you, she's a woman. Her name is Deborah.

Mitigation:
•Do not use Microsoft software that is accessing network shares over the internet (such as Internet Explorer, Edge or Outlook)
•Do not use a Microsoft login for your local Windows machine
•Block outgoing connections on ports 445 and 137-139 on your router/firewall.
•Block outgoing connections on ports 445 and 137-139 to non local ip-address spaces using Windows-Firewall.

Countries where people don't have such free access to the Internet don't have these kinds of incidents.
Time for to enact controls on this dangerous assault medium.
No one really needs access to that much Internet.
What's up with these web nuts and their weird pastimes anyway?
Isn't it worth it if we can save just one life?
Our cities are bathed in blood and these Internet companies are profiting from it.
The First Amendment mentioned freedom of "the press". There are no printing presses used to make the Internet.
We just want to register and track Internet users.
And subject them to background checks before they can go online.
And prevent them from using dangerous tools like "encryption" to hide their usage.
We've got to close the WiFi loophole that lets people access the Internet without a background check.
Who could argue with these common sense measures?
If you don't agree with this, you have blood on your hands.

You're typing on a device that stores trillions of pieces of data and makes billions of computations per second with the ability to grab data on almost anything from around the world in milliseconds, using electricity transmitted from hundreds of kilometers through wires on towers dozens of meters tall connected to megastructures that do things like burn coal as fast as entire trains can pull into the yard, or spin in the wind with blades the size of jumbo jets, or the like, which were delivered to their location by vehicles with computer-timed engines burning a fuel that was pumped up halfway around the world from up to half a dozen kilometers underground and locked into complex strata (through wells drilled by diamond-lined bores that can be remote-control steered as they go), shipped around the world in tankers with volumes the size of large city blocks and the height of apartment complexes, run through complex chemical processes in unimaginable quantities, distributed nationwide and sold to you at a corner store for $1.80 a gallon, which you then pay for with a little piece of microchipped plastic, if not a smartphone, which does all of the aforementioned computer stuff but in a box the size of your hand that tolerates getting beaten up in your pocket all day.

Please, Mister Apple Man. I know you're really busy selling iPads and iPhones all day, and I know you think you're doing good by coming here and trying to talk about smartphones.

I don't want to fight you. I know you've won. I know that you've successfully managed to hook up tracking devices to the population, and trick them into paying for the right to do so. I'm okay with that.

But do you think you could just give us a break? All I want to do is listen to a few songs. I don't want to be hooked up to a network or be within wireless range or talk to a satellite. I just want to walk around and listen to a song or two without being part of your network. Is that okay, Mister Apple Man? Please just let me listen to a song or two.

The increasing stupidity of political correctness has reached a new level.

OKCupid, a site that relies HEAVILY on JavaScript for its entire operation, has called for the boycott of Mozilla for their decision to appoint Brendan Eich (the creator of JS, a language used in almost every modern website on the Internet) because he made a donation 6 years before being appointed as the CEO. I don't understand how it is justifiable to call for the boycott of a company simply because someone decided to donate to a charity with their own money.

I understand that you may not agree with your views, and he may not agree with yours, but pressuring a company to fire someone on the basis of private views and NOT qualification is simply childish. How is the creator of one of the most widely-used languages on the Internet not qualified for the position of CEO of a company that deals with the Internet, almost exclusively?

If you agree with this boycott, I ask you immediately uninstall any modern web browser on your computer and seek an alternative that does not use JavaScript. Anything else would be hypocritical, no?

The left preaches tolerance, but they are only tolerant of those who agree with their views.

I was surprised how many people don't know how ethernet cables work, so I've made a little guide.

As follows:

Black is faster but has a higher chance of packet loss.

Blue helps to keep the lines running cool, so downtime is usually way less.

Yellow increases the speed of queries, but if it isn't changed out enough can lead to data clotting.

Grey combines white and black to offer high speeds (not as fast as black) with minimal packet loss (but not as little as white)

White has the lowest chance of packet loss.

Green uses the least amount of power and is best for the environment.

Pink is dangerous, and can lead to outages due to it's inability to filter requests, but it tends to be a little cheaper so it gets used overseas a lot.

Purple offers no upsides or downsides aside from being very physically sturdy.

Avoid red at all costs, heats up lines and may cause server fires, and can even create dangerous firewalls.

Orange combines yellow and red, leading to lines which burn up quickly, very dangerous, usually created by terrorists to take networks down.

CRT is a much better technology than LCD.

1) Perfect black levels
2) Flawless off-axis viewing
3) Much faster refresh rate than LCD
4) Warmer, more natural image (thanks to scan lines and small granules)
5) Far longer life-span
6) Not subject to manufacture problems such as dead-pixels
7) Good range of compatibility with lower or non-standard resolutions without blurring

Given ultimate space and money the world's best CRT could easily crush the world's best LCD. So tell me /g/, why do you like your inferior screens that companies such as Samsung have brainwashed you to think is better than what already existed? The only cost-savings are on their end.

And the funny thing is you guys keep buying this crappy LCD technology and giving away your free CRTs on Craigslist. A fool and his dollar are soon parted I guess.

And before you start yapping about IPS panels:
Enjoy your slow G2G response to switch pixels already, not to mention that hidden input and scalar lag. Luckily, CRT has no such bullshit.

The only semi-legitimate point I've heard against CRTs regards weight, but you don't bitch about the weight of a prospective couch while furniture shopping, do you? Didn't think so.

More strong points about TFTs: -
1st, they last long (1999 to 2013 in my case, still running) - ymmv
2nd, it's very clear at its natural resolution
3rd, TFTs use less power
4th, TFTs are instant on (2s max) - CRTs take ~8 secs
5th, TFTs are more compact. You can move them closer to the wall, or across the table
TFTs are lighter too - but if CRT is too heavy for you, you're a doosh. full stop. new paragraph.

disadvantages of TFTs: -

while it's strong at its natural res, it's weak slightly below - if you have 1280x1024 TFT, NEVER use it @ 1kx768 - either 1280x1k or 800x600 is better
slower response, motion blur in games and vids
while TFTs are clear @ their natural res, they can be TOO clear - some fonts look smoother on CRTs.
all tfts seem to be 16/9 - great for movies but TVs exist for that reason
16/9 is stupid unless you have chinks for eyes (paper is not 16/9, and portrait format anyway)
