What are /r/DesktopDetective's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Ohh okay. That's a good guess.

I'm actually using this clover. It's a computer program that turns your windows explorer (my documents and stuff) into something like a Google Chrome window so you can have different tabs. It's really helpful.

DF is dwarf fortress. Knowing that probably would have told you some more.

Late teens was correct, nearly 17.

You were right about skyrim but only really by chance. The orange NMM logo is used for fallout new vegas but I have modded skyrim quite a lot.(not my own work as previously established I'm not capable)

Thanks, i thought the same thing when I saw a screenshot of it. I believe it's Black Onyx 2. Here is where you get the skins from, theres lots of awesome HI-FI ones. If you want to be able to use soundcloud and youtube songs/playlists you can find plugins for both of those, but sadly not spotify.

I don't have much to add, just that I use the same icon set, except the white version. I love them, it looks even better with spacers or a color orb with a similar color scheme. This can explain how to do both.

Yes, you can.

Virtual Box software will help you with this.

Download a Linux distribution of your choice and try it out. If you need more help, let me know.

Edit: You can also do a dual boot setup, which gives you the option when you start your computer to select what operating system it boots to. This is a little bit different of a solution, but if I'm reading your question properly, the first method will work fine.

Yea, I have slackware on my laptop, and on my other partition, but I'm on winter break so I stick mostly to windows for adobe and games.

And yes I use vi mostly. But lately I've been playing with yi.

Everything else correct.

• Pacific time zone, given the time.

• Interested in animation or video sharing such as Twitch or Youtube, given the Adobe suite.

• Concerned about net neutrality/privacy, with software like TunnelBear & Tor.

• Tech savvy, given the aforementioned VPNs, the VMware, and benchmarks.

• Gamer, given Steam, Origin etc.

• Grew up on Nintendo systems, judging by the GCN emulator.

Now for some guess work.

• College student, with Word on you quickbar like that.

• Studying computer sciences.

• Vancouver or Seattle.

Lastly, Other things I noticed.

• Ultra wide monitor.

• 3d Render for a wallpaper. Others from the same set in MabelGarage.

You're definitely a Filipino living in the Middle East. Probably a high school student too. Hotspot Shield works wonders for unblocking sites, but I suggest using Hola with Firefox. You also love gaming, even though your laptop's set to non-Aero.

If you're using PhotoScape for light editing of photos, may I suggest using ?

I'm gonna guess you're a highschool/college student based on the "Head First Java" page in the top left corner. Some programming book/tutorial maybe?

Also, you're posting from a laptop. You make/have attemted to make a gaming video(s).

You're using a Nexus 6 (edit: Stock... probably 5.1)... Edit2: You're probably British... working in Tech finance... now living on the west coast... SF probably but maybe Seattle. Edit3: I'll add the whole "or you want to work in tech finance and you want to be British" lol

and you should consider Tinfoil for Facebook - you can still message on it and all the other fun stuff... but it's going via the Web API and therefore is so much fucking better on your battery... aaaaand it doesn't give facebook an insane amount of access to your phone.

You do the graphic design and videography for a parkour group, you also designed their website.

Facebook page

youtube channel far too many names and further details are available there to be able to even say them on reddit without breaking terms of service about not revealing people information.

Actually you are wrong, maybe you should go study some more on bronies

EDIT: if bronies were just trolls would they spend this much on something? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fluttershy-Galloping-Gala-Custom-Plush-My-Little-Pony-Friendship-Magic-/120792470190

> Streamer/gamer

Definitely not a streamer, but a gamer for sure -- I like share my clips with my buddies

> Dabbles in crypto

I'm still salty over ETH imploding

> Likes to read

I mostly read what my more bookwormy friends are into -- libgen.is is my best friend

There actually is a program called SelfControl which allows you to blacklist websites for a set amount of time. Unfortunately I usually end up spending most of the time trying to figure out how to get around it but it generally works well. I can't find the windows version right now but here are the mac and linux download links:

pretty good, although I haven't torrented anything except for microsoft word. The list of games is only showing about a third of my library (fences alows you to scroll down inside the boxes) but most of the others are free to play games.

If you’re looking to make a desktop similar to this, check out Rainmeter. You can do super cool customized desktops like this, but it does eat up some resources to do it, so I wouldn’t recommend going ham with it on lower-end computers.

ty.

guess it didn't make a diff they're both 143KB.

was able to find it w/ the reference image though thanks to tineye :)

awesome wp btw

>Programmer?

Not yet but I hope; I've started studied programming to move past my current computer support gig. Just finished the Codecademy course recently.

>Don't know anything about 'Gridcoin' but obviously a digital currency.

It's a crypto that runs credits BOINC scientific computation. That's also what the API tabs are open for, free mining with trial subscriptions.

>Never enough time to get to what you want to do, right?

Nice detective work. Managing BOINC, Plex, and Minecraft servers leaves me little time to actually use my GPU for real gaming.

Score 2.9/3

Well, you can't hide your IP per se. If you wish to browse the internet anonymously, where your IP cannot be tracked, I suggest browsing with Tor Browser. But as far as OP's picture, he should have hid his IP on his desktop. Your ip is used to browse the internet, and for is sort of like a Social Securtiy number for your internet, your ISP can keep tabs on what websites you visit, what you download, etc.

you most likely came from Windows/Linux because you replaced stock Apple applications such as Safari and Mail.app with Chrome and Thunderbird.

You may also simply want to have a solid UNIX based machine on which you can find your familiar tools and programs as you would be used to with I assume Linux. I would peg you as a software developer/web developer with graphics on the side (Adobe products in menu bar), needing Virtual Box, some virtualisation software to do testing of websites in various different browsers.

Your use of Xchat instead of Colloquy shows you have a love for using software on OS X that was written for Linux, it doesn't really fit in with the Apple environment and stands out like a sore thumb. You have some mild OCD and require everything to be categorised into folders, and you hate having stuff hidden from you by the OS.

Awesome, somebody else who uses sticky notes to remember what episode they're up to! You should try out a program called Stickies (http://www.zhornsoftware.co.uk/stickies/download.html), it's far nicer than the built-in sticky notes.

Any android device should be able to get this setup Launcher: Nova Launcher Icon Pack: LineX Icon Pack Wallpaper: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.softwarelint.darkops The widget is one I made myself with KWGT

Well I guessed you're a programming newbie because usually if someone knows how to program it's more likely they'll check the documentation about a new language rather than a book specifically used to teach python and how to program. Plus Sublime and Visual Studio suggest you installed the former because you saw some post or video tutorial online, but maybe ended up switching to Visual Studio.

​

Also this is a bit of unsolicited advice but if you are interested in privacy VPNs tend to not be very good at providing more privacy, they hide your traffic from your ISP but you'll still have lots of problems regarding stuff like sites employing fingerprinting tactings and such.

If you want to be more privacy conscious you should start by using Firefox(or a fork) with a hardened , use a different search engine than Google( Searx is a very good option) and use some decent extensions to ensure you've got HTTPS up always and other stuff like Decentraleyes.

Also Nordvpn and tunnelbear are good choices but I would highly suggest you look at MullvadVPN, mostly because it doesn't long stuff unlike the aforementioned vpns and it's located in a country where internet privacy laws are more strict and customer-sided.

Sure, anything in particular?

First install Kwlp you will need to buy the Pro version

Then download the preset from the link in the comment above

Load the preset in kwlp and set it as your wallpaper, you can edit it if you like!

Sure thing, and don't worry, we have all been there.

Here is the link to klwp, its a live wallpaper. The free version comes with some presets but if you want to download a custom one you will have to purchase the Pro version. If you have any more questions feel free to message me

You’re a gamer who likes to see their system’s status, slightly cares about their privacy but still uses data mining VPNs (Hotspot Shield) you enjoy music and occasionally write java code.

Your also a pirate judging from the activate windows watermark

facepalm Should have realized COMP 1210 was doing "Getting Started with jGRASP 2.0" in class.
Anyways: Second guess is Marketing. I just noticed that <em>Marketing Management</em> by Keller and Kotler is on your desktop.
