Math teacher here, I've got a question for you guys:
Schools are pushing to integrate chromebooks/ipads into classrooms, but I feel these are completely wasted on math. What I want to do is teach students to actually use computers in a more mathematical and substantive way through teaching programming. I organize my math classes as being more of a workshop where students have multiple options to get points for the week by completing various activities of their choosing. One of the activities I want to introduce next semester is to allow interested students to use python to program stuff like algorithms for solving certain sorts of math problems, or use it organize and analyze data, etc...
What's the cheapest way to offer this to students who don't have a computer of their own and want to work on this stuff at home? I thought about scavenging craigslist for old laptops and stuff I could wipe and load mint or ubuntu onto, but I don't think administration/parents would feel comfortable with me offering the students old mystery-origin laptops. Another thought I had was to get pic related, but the students would still need a mouse, keyboard, and monitor. Any ideas?

I narrowed it down to the "All New" Fire HD 8 and a second hand iPad Mini 2 Retina.
In my third world country the Fire Hd 8 is 110credits while I found the iPad Mini Retina 2 for 120credits.
Which one would you buy /g/?
Any of you own either?

I have the HD8 2017, it's good but the iPad is probably better unless you emulate a lot.

if a ten second clip wasn't 1gb I would like it a lot more
as for shadowplay I can't even increase the quality without it returning to baseline or resulting in choppy video

>2015 MBP 8gb ram and 128 gb ssd for $929.
vs
>2016 MPB non TB 8gb ram and 256 gb ssd for $1189.
They are both refurbished and they are pretty much new since apple's refurbished quality is amazing.

Neither
But if you absolutely must get a Fagbook, then your choice is going to come down to whether you can get over the new keyboard.
I personally type like a caveman and smash down on keys with force, so I can't get on with the new ones: they make my hands hurt. Light typers may enjoy it, though.

What's the best (and cheapest/reasonably priced) chair for your computer?

Go to a store that sells computer chairs and sit in them until you find one that is comfortable for you're body. There is no universal "best" chair.
>>
>>61207800
Personally I've got the issue with chairs simply collapsing on me after year of use. I'm a massive 6'9 guy weighting 19 stones with something that is probably non-diagnosed ADHD which leads to me constantly wriggling and moving my legs in my chairs to the rhythm while I listen to music.

Do you believe the target audience of cuck tips is anything above gsymer children?
He even had a video where he makes a server hack RGB.
There is a shoddy video where you can see how shill for Intel and how flawed methodology he have on a delid video. He concludes that delliding Intel isn't worth, considering he is benching at stock with a stock cooler. You see the comments just idiots like "so the CPU is inside this metal? Who would figure"
I currently own a thinkpad x201 and I was thinking of selling it and buying a t60(with the best cpu and display I can find) and upgrading it to the best of its capacities in order to install libreboot on it via the software method.
Should I do this?

I try to stay on linux as much as I can, especially for making side projects and light gaming (indie titles) but sometimes I have to use Windows for work related things
>>
There's no reason not to dual boot. Still I prefer to run Linux on VM.
