why is this allowed?
>>60426605
If you're too dumb to disable it, you need it running.
>>60426630
even if you disable it keeps coming back, the only definitive solution to stop this shit is buying an SSD or installing Windows 10 LTSB (i havent seen telemetry process running in any of my systems with that version installed).

Why are you allowed to have a computer?
Prove to me that Rust isn't shit
it's shit
literally cannot
>>60426092
You can develop a kernel in it, trivially.
It's better thought out than C++.
It's faster than C++.
It's safer than C++.
>inb4 but C++ is shit too!
If you're not comparing Rust to C++, then Rust isn't for you, and you should just keep using Python or whatever.
What's the deal with ransomware? Is it new or have the media just caught on?
my brother's computer had ransomware a few years ago. he got it through torrents. easy as pie to remove. it was almost laughable.
>>60425840
oh, and whoever wrote that ransomware was a f'ing idiot - claimed to be the police. here's a screenshot.
Hahaha another example of how shitty the media is. Seems like all these "hacked computers" is just some Nigerian prince teir scam
Is there any reason to install a custom rom nowadays?

To remove bad stock chinkshit roms.
>>60425732

Hey so who wants to help me with a little challenge?
>Create a bash script that uses "rsync" command for backups and restores. The first argument should be either "backup" or "restore" and the second one is an optional argument specifying "realrun". The purpose of the "realrun" option is to avoid applying changes that won't be correct changes (without the option). If "realrun" is not set, use "--dry-run" option in rsync. Note that rsync supports huge number of different options. The most important ones are "--archive", "--relative", "--verbose", "--progress", "--human-readable", "--delete" for backup. Delete will cause changed not yet backed up to be lost. One option is to use the "--include-form" option for including only specific directories.

Is ElementaryOS going to take off someday? It's cute for daily use, but nothing else.
>>60424797
>It's cute for daily use, but nothing else.
Isn't that the point?
Also apparently it is the first release that should be able to update to the next with no problems. Has removed add-apt-repository, taking it's own route outside the ubuntu ecosystem.
>>60424867
>Isn't that the point?
That would make it as useless as a benchmark.
This kind of "cute" distro is perfect for a simple daily use, Office, creative work, and that's all. The problem (as with many other distributions) is that they want to include a lot of their own software, something useless for those who go for the Vivaldi+Office+VLC combo.

it did but under a different name
I think it was called OS X?
Why are normies in love with RGB?

Matches their rainbow dragon dildo and chastity cage.
>>60424755
I'm not. I have my PC in a cupboard, I only look at it when I have to insert my penis or flash drive into it
I can understand the RGB appeal, but this is getting out of hand. RGB mobos and ram?
What's worse is that you can't even find an enthusiast mobo without some kind of led lighting.
How do you pronounce router, and does it match with how you pronounce route?

Hey /g/, I'm in my second year doing Computer Sciences major and notice that a lot of female students are having so much problems with programming. I'm saying that male students usually take maximum an hour to solve a programming question,but female student could spend a day in the lab trying to solve a single question.
Most girls I've known in my class would always struggle with implementation of algorithm or any programming issue but are okey with the math part. Could the reason why there's less females in STEM field could be from this reason? any of you guys seen something like this in uni or work
