Was using glorious Thinkpad in work for a while when programming.
>Awful keyboard, too small and hard to type
>Page up and down key placement near arrows, so they are often mistakenly pressed
>No numeric keyboard
>Ctrl replaced with Fn
>Never used joystick in the middle
>No HDMI, some weird DisplayPort instead
>Small screen
>Heavy compared to screen size
>Sticking out touchpad keys are also often pressed by mistake
>Ugly AF
Literally FB and PowerPoint scrolling machine.
Who the fuck would buy it as personal computer? They are awful in corporations, even worse for normal usage.
we macbook pro now
just works™

I buy it for the reasons you listed.
>good keyboard
>decent layout
>ctrl placed correctly closer to the home row.
>joystick in the middle, so I can disable the touchpad
>has vga port
>small screen
>not a "u" cpu
>physical mouse keys
>looks professional
>good linux machine

People who do not share your opinion.
Please help to get a powerful phone.
Req.

For one, don't get a LeEco because chink phones are shit and will always be shit (except Xiaomi)

iPhone 7, by far
OP5
HTC U11
Sony XZP
These three are your best options. All three of them also use a lightweight android skin.
Avoid LG and Samsung. Both of them use a shitty android skin that will bog down the performance within the first year of use.

/g/ is not for you, bud. Go search on google.
Anyone know of a method to monitor HTTPS traffic, Ive tried different SSL strippers but none work and are all out dated. Would be awesome if someone could point me in the right direction, ive googled it 100 times and got nothing substantial. Thanks heaps in advanced!!
>>60868213
...
Come on I know one of you hackers knows the answer.
>>60868213
MITM is your only option at intercepting and decrypting SSL traffic. And now go. Shoo shoo. Be a skid somewhere else.

What is the safest you can make your computer/home network?
How would you go about doing it?
What changes if you need to have "unrestricted" internet access and a computer with Windows?
>>60867819
>What changes if you need to have "unrestricted" internet access and a computer with Windows?
Put a windows VM on a isolated PVLAN.
What about the other part?
How can you be sure that even though you might have undiscovered vulnerabilities you are still definitely safe AND have an internet connection?
>>60867883
Do you understand what a PVLAN is?

Post yfw for that feeling.
why Richard Stallman is attached to gentoo here?
Install Gentoo
>>60867443
He's everything wrong and right about the linux community.
>>60867443
It's a serious mistake. GNU isn't a kernel it has nothing to do with Gentoo.
Why haven't you switched to Linux yet?
It takes too much more effort to do what I need to do, compared to Windows
It looks nice but performs like crap.
I don't know why it uses so much CPU to do nothing whilst my Windows machine uses barely anything. Also screen tearing that forced me to copy paste terminal commands for triple buffering. Chrome and Firefox both just feel so much fucking worse than on Windows.
I just prefer to have all my hardware I paid good money for work as efficiently as possible so I can get the most out of it.

do you browse this site?
>>60867329
I scan it every once in awhile. I prefer /g/'s retardedness to actually learning something useful.
>>60867329
I read n-gate.com if that counts.
I am looking for alternatives to Powerpoint, open source and simple to edit. I currently use the Jessyink extension for Inkscape, but I know there are many options available like Strut (html5).
The options that Google gives me are complicated, because you have to program in a programming environment. If that is the case I would like to know what program I have to use.

Let's post the build you know of, include information about it.

> it's fast as fuck
> very solid build, no bullshit
> it will die soon (EOL announced) ( https://8pecxstudios.com/Forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1756 )
>> Palemoon
> made by a furry
> back in Firefox v3 or so it was faster than stock Mozilla builds
> today it is years behind the original version
> the furry is slowly backporting official patches into his rebranded browser
> tl;dr: it's popular, but an absolute turd
>> Waterfox
> originally it was about having a 64-bit build
> now it's basically a vanilla Firefox with a few small tweaks
> as of today, it removes some tinfoil-hat level stuff, and cripple the browser (EME removal)
Post the builds you know.
I also saw a build by some Japanese guy, but can't recall the name of it.
>>60867307
Palemoon uses an old version of firefox because it wants go go and do it's own thing. Really even some of its features are newer than firefox's
>>60868404
> click here to find out how one furfag outsmarted 500 developers and basically you are fucking stupid
No.
I am sorry I refuse to believe a single man could single-handedly write fork Firefox and "make it more advanced than Firefox itself". Best he can do is import patches left and right and claim it's better than Firefox itself.
I call bs.

why does youtube use webm instead of h264? h264 is usually hardware accelerated on computers. Also isn't h264 royalty free now?
>>60867108
>Also isn't h264 royalty free now
No.
webm is a container, h264 is a codec
what is your point
>>60867140
>webm is a container
Well, it's really just MKV but is specific about what codec is used inside of it. So WebM is synonymous for VP8/Vorbis or VP9/Opus.
Why are compsci majors such memes?
Gonna be honest, that looks like an accident that was waiting to happen.

>create a setup guide for new devs that has a section on nuking the production database with an asterisk saying to not do it

How the hell were they surprised this happened? I feel like the guy who made that guide must've hated the company.
>>60867070
Go do something productive, man.
Anyone else hoping that in the future, technology tends towards the more visceral once again, instead of the purely digital / non-tactile?
I want blu-ray disks to be replaced with 4K solid-state cartridges that load like a tiny cassette.
I want every object to have a rugged, industrial design. Calculators should use keyboard keys. Things should be bigger in general.
Money should be replaced with square, portable digital coins, similar to a poker chip, but it can carry any encrypted value of money on it to prevent counterfeiting. (Besides, you think counterfeiting isn't already easy?)
Throw that fucking smart-phone away and get what is essentially a walkie-talkie with a screen on it that uses satellites to communicate with anyone on Earth instantly purely through radio using scrambled channels that both listener and sender agree on.
The common house lock is exceptionally easy to break with a special key and hammer. Doors should lock with 2 industrial deadbolts that electrically activate only with a 4-sided key bearing the correct magnetic signature is put in place and turned.
Fuck the Internet of Things.
I want to live in a Late 70's Early 80's Future.
Sorry for jerking off, just, as a millennial, all of our minimized, minimal technology is starting to get old REALLY fast and at this point, even supposed "downgrading" would feel innovative in today's completely innovationless consumer tech market.
