Hello /g/.
In a month or so I'm going to start my first year of Computer Engineering and Communications at uni and I read that I need a notebook to run some programs, take notes and stuff like that.
I'm asking for experiences from people who studied/are studying CE: what kind of notebook would I need?
How much did you use it during your university career? What programs would I need to run on it? Also, I'm guessing Windows right?
At home I got a powerful desktop so I'd only use the notebook for university related stuff.
Thanks.
Anything with 2+GB ram ll work

Okay so pretty much anything will do right? I've read of people buying MacBooks that costed over 1000 euros and shit..
No one here that did CE has anything to share?
NBN/Speed test thread?
Last couple of threads seemed bretty good so here goes
Paying for 50mbit Fixed wireless and i get speeds like this from 4pm-10pm
>>61793917
>Aussie
Oi mate anything above 1 Mb/s is good.
>>61793917
>tfw Aussie has better upload than me
Can't bother to test because I'm on mobile but I get exactly 67/7 on my best days.
Old hfc network, just want higher upload but will inevitably lose download. I also get full speed all the time even arvo/night. Will eventually have to go nbn though, might stick with Telstra in the hopes they're not cheaping out on backhaul like most isps.
what the fuck happened to firefox? happened to see this on their website about some lady saying not to feed trolls? why are there no good browser?

With bezels almost as thin as the G6, why wasn't anyone talking about this?
Was one hell of a beasty phone when released
This is the perfect frame for a phone. I'm still rocking my G3, even though it lags a little here and there it's still a great phone. I hope LG goes back to the G3 and just remakes it with upgraded hardware.

>huge bezel at the bottom for a shitty company logo you need to be reminded about every time you look at your screen.

What this guy said.
If you want to advertise the product brand do it on the back of the phone where someone will see it!

This thread is for the discussion of NyaaPantsu (pantsu.cat), a free (FOSS) torrent indexer, and other nyaa alternatives.
The aim of this project is to write a fully featured nyaa.se replacement in golang that anyone will be able to deploy locally or remotely.

>Why is Pantsu down/error 502?
Most likely because the team is deploying changes. Wait for a bit and refresh the page. It should be mostly stable now.

PantsuDev update when?
>>61793806
Once tagging is done.
I'll be 29 at the end of this month.
I feel like my "youth" period has only 1 year left.
Is it worth it to devote and rush my 29th year of life to focusing on learning more about computer science and IT (on my own), to the point of trying to get a job in it down the line?
I always super behind when people exchange programming and CS terms around me. I feel like there's an opportunity for work there and a way to understand a lot about the world that I don't know yet. I feel like CS will continue to be in high demand for the next 30 years.
Like I know there's 30 million Pajeets graduating with bullshit IT degrees from India every week, but I feel like if you know what you're doing that there's a ton of opportunities out there for you.
>>61793568
No one is going to hire a 30 year old junior. You’ll have to get experience by yourself or just try another field.
If you know fuck all then yes. Otherwise you should just give up.
I'm going to go and do a bachelor's computer science degree when I'm 19 (currently 18 before you say underage b&)
>>61793737
Scrap that. Just give up and get out of the industry while you can, op.
Is this a stupid idea?
The Brave browser has all this adblocking shit built in but if you want you can choose to establish a monthly allowance to donate to websites you visit based on time spent (though you can just set specific amounts to specific sites per month if you wanted)
The whole ecosystem makes sense sure but the challenge will be if they can get all the different players to start adopting it. Not sure where they are on their roadmap atm but I don't think they have any advertisers yet do they?
brave = botnet
>>61793096
I dont know how this can be legal? how much of the donation goes to brave developers?
Old thread: >>61784776
What are you working on, /g/?
Learning category theory/type theory with purescript
>>61792980
Is there a Scheme-tan?
I will also accept a Lisp, but it's not ideal.
Chrome is the most popular browser by a lot. How did Google convince the normies use it instead of the browsers that come with their computers?
>>61792918
Internet Explorer sucked. Lacked a lot features andHTML standards. Edge came too late. Firefox looks and feels outdated. People who switch from PC to Mac stick with Chrome because they don’t want to try Safari and are used to Chrome.
They bundled it with every popular software. They also used banner ads on popular websites to brainwash normies that it'll run better in Chrome.
This website runs best on Google® Chrome™
Why isn't GNU/Linux a desktop dominant yet?
>>61792744
Because normies are allowed on computers.
I guess we should stop blaming things like
> hurr muh distro is better than yours
and join all together as a community and be strong
>>61792751
there are lot's of distros normie-friendly
>>61792755

Is it just me, or adwcleaner 7 detects far less than its predecessor? Old versions don't seem to work after this one was released
Why not just use Norton if you're this retarded?
Format and reinstall.

They're getting their sum from the malware developers and laughing at losers like you who trust their product.
How do we redeem this man? How do we make sure he wasn't fired in vain?
set up a Patreon to support this poor, poor downtrodden soul for the rest of his life
boycott Google, it's a long time coming anyway.
The lynchmob and the media are all bleeding heart feminists who will crucify anybody who disagrees with them in the slightest.
His career is toast.
Just like that guy who lost his job because some absolute cunt tweeted about how TRIGGERED and OFFENDED she was over him making a "dongle" joke.

Cryptocurrency mining.

ethereumfags throwing the prices of GPUs out of whack, selling them out everywhere, and making it impossible to get GPUs for reasonable prices

>>61791598
They had 5 years to make graphics cards just for mining, not gaming. Why didn't they corner that market?
