Why are most old people so utterly incompetent when it comes to learning how to use computers or smartphones?
Is it their fault or are humans truly unable to learn new environments when they're old?
Is the same thing going to happen to us?

>is the same thing going to happen to us
In the over-customized world we live, it looks like the old people of today aren't as bad as our current gen will be- who grew up fidgeting with their UI. No objective thinking just, "wah, I want it to be prettty."

All you kids--you kids! You think you can just swap out your digitally rendered, three-dimensional waifus at the wave of a hand. When I was your age, we had these things called wallpapers, and you had to EARN your waifu by scouring the internet until you came upon the right image, and you stood by your choice. I stood by my waifu. I loved her. I cared for her.

We'll be fine, but kids that are just growing up now? They don't know anything about how their phones work, and they don't care. They're just as incompetent as old people are today - they're just used to how their phones work now. In forty years they'll be struggling with whatever we have then.

So you just built the perfect thousand dollar rig that can run all the games at max settings. You did remember to set aside money for an equally impressive monitor didn't you? What's the point of running everything on high if you can't enjoy the eye candy?
Post how much you paid for your monitor and those sick specs.

Uh oh, /g/! Hime needs your help!
She's spending a summer in America, and she's taken on a job as a waitress. But she doesn't know how to make change in American money!
Write a program that accepts a string and outputs the smallest number of coins needed to make change, using only quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies.
Example:input: "$1.05"
output: "4 Quarters, 1 Nickel"
Good luck!

You know, this would actually be an interesting challenge if you were forced to parse a floating point value from a string without using standard library function like sscanf or parseFloat.

Has anyone done the Intel ME firmware update for their Sandy Bridge Thinkpads? I've tried to get it running on my W520 but whenever I run the Windows command line, I keep getting the error message "FWUpdLcl.exe is not recognized as an internal or external command", ie Lenovo's program cannot execute the ME update agent. Is there a way around this?

I make games for a living. I think it's pretty fun. But it's because I enjoy it and enjoy the company I work at.
It's just a small indie studio, so I kind of just do whatever needs to be done. No strict deadlines really, it's pretty chill.
The pay could he higher but I guess low pay is the price I pay to have 35 hour work weeks.

Los Angeles, California. It's c#/unity. I'm 22, I've only been working for two years now. Only making $55k/year+some benefits.
I know I could apply and get accepted to a bigger company for a pay raise (I've gotten offers) but I'm banking on getting stock in this small studio ran by very intelligent guys.

I know this isn't Helpdesk or whatever but surely there is something I'm doing wrong right?
Tried to update a steam game, said the game couldn't update because a folder in C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\Steam\steamapps\downloading\507 was missing
Ok, just delete the folder and try again
Access Denied you need permission from >LAPTOPMODEL\ANON
open Command Prompt: whoami
>LAPTOPMODEL\ANON
>niggerwhat.mp4
>ok, go to properties in folder change permissions under Securtiy/advanced
set LAPTOPMODEL\ANON as owner to this file and all sub-files with rwx/full control protocols.
Make sure all processes of steam are kill.
guess who I still need permission from
>LAPTOPMODEL\ANON
open CMD again
>rmdir /q/s
>access denied
>every fucking folder
try to re-install steam
>can't do it because location needs to be empty
Gonna fucking snap my laptop in half could anyone help with this please?

actually a "dumb" solution would be to boot into a linux live cd or usb and delete the files from there. linux is unaffected by windows permissions.

Can /g/ recommend a 10Gb managed switch that can do 5GBASE-T negotiation on at least 2 ports?
I'm rewiring my house and am thinking:
Two Aruba 330s
10Gb NIC for my server
Teaming my NAS for 2Gb speeds
And that gives me around 6-10k for a 10Gb switch. Please help.
