I just want a little PC that is easy to transport since the military likes to move me around a lot. Building one of these is a lot cheaper than getting an Origin Omni. Which is better? I don't need anything more than 16 gigs of RAM and a GTX 1070.

if you just need a single graphics card and the smallest possible form factor, mini itx is the way to go. be aware thermals may limit overclocking the card in a case that small though, if that's something you care about

Sorry your life sucks.
My car only has a couple cubic feet left of space when it's loaded up. A full size desktop + monitor will not fit.

I invested 15k in cryptocurrency in January, and now it's worth 65K. If I can pull this off every year I'll be golden.
It doesn't matter what you use. All the backdoors are installed in the hardware.

Why?

Where were you when Plan 9 BTFO every other OS in existence?
Where were you when font rendering stopped being so shitty?

I can't even read that shit.
Also comments DO NOT COUNT.

i hate the word "code" or in this case, "kode"

If I take an illegal file like a cp video and flip all it's bits, is the new unusable file still illegal?
better question is, at what resolution does it become illegal?
>>60203107
It becomes an encoding of an illegal file.
Which is illegal.
>>60203139
What if I invent my own method to modify the bits and don't call it encoding?
I am now more convinced than ever that hackintoshing is not worth it at all
oh did you say you have nvidia graphics? Hope they are from a few years ago or its 8 megs of vram for you cause the driver doesnt regognize much of anything past the 900 series
Oh but you have an intel integrated graphics chip? Oh that might be somewhat compatable but you will have odd glitches and ince again only 7 megs of vram so enjoy getting animations to work at all
I had less irritation installing gentoo the first time why do you do this to yourselves?
>mad at new hardware because (os) doesn't support new hardware
????
>>60203014
Im mad at hackintosh not my hardware
>>60203014
wait that didn't even make sense though but you probably get what I mean
The OS simply doesn't support new shit, so why does that make hackintoshing any worse than the platform itself? The reason it doesn't support new shit is because it was never made around new shit. Doesn't that just make OS X and Apple computers bad in general?
Why don't people like WIRE?
>>60202870
Because it's not as good XMPP therefore useless
>>60202917
That seems a little autistic
>>60202948
Why use encryption if it's going to have potential backdoors in any way?
Would you work for or develop a product for an ethically dubious company?
Does it matter? You're getting paid who cares
Like many things software could be a double edged sword. Developing tracking software or a product which could be used for tracking but also provides benefits to the community. Would you work for a company which creates missile guidance systems.

I help facilitate the mass brain washing of the majority of the US and more. Not quite the same as what you are talking about, but if I didn't do this someone else would be getting paid to fill the same seat.
>>60205959
Any more info about your job would be great
You're not a shill/astroturfer on /g/ are you?
Do you feel that you increase the efficency of brain washing? or reduce it by proposing more privacy focused solutions or neither?
Evening /g/entoomen, I'm writing my term paper for my rhetoric class on internet privacy. The format of the essay is a rogerian argument for a problem / solution, problem being large scale identifiable data collection by companies and the government. I'm going to be assuming my audience is the average normie saying "I'm not doing anything wrong, why should I care if [BOTNET] is watching me?" and I have to construct the argument in a way to convince them that it really is an issue they should care about.
Ideas? Sources? How would you go about explaining to a normie why they should care about internet privacy?
New question: How to make a successful post on /g/?
>>60202562
The way to explain internet privacy to normies is to use analogies with real life privacy. Explain to them why privacy in itself is valuable, why violations of privacy are immoral and should be discouraged and, in some cases, outlawed. However, dont turn it into some FOSS shillfest, since that is beyond the scope of your argument (and not the final solution anyway, since the problem is that companies arent held accountable for violation of privacy/freedom).
And be sure to not sound like a conspiracy theorist. Google is most likely not selling your info to Israel or ISIS, but using it to advertise certain products. The problem is not mainly on the ways they use your info, but the fact that they use it at all.
I dont know sources, maybe some of Stallman's bullshit, but some academic articles on the right to privacy as such is useful.

Thanks for the thought out response anon.

Give me ONE good reason not to install LTSB
>>60202358
If you have to ask then you deserve it.
>>60202358
It's still Windows 10
There aren't any reasons for you not to install it unless you WANT your OS to advertise to you and for Pajeet to collect a shit-ton of personal information from you. It is still gonna spy on you though, it is just the best of a few evils as far as Windows 10 goes.
Anyone else taking the AP Computer science principles test on friday or soon?
Anyone already took it and want to share their experience? Im a little nervous and really want to do well because I am not sure I did so well on the Create / Explore performance task.
If anyone wants to talk about it or study together feel free to add me on kik - slickman130
>>60202334
Not many colleges give credit for this shit. Only reason to take AP classes is so you don't get lumped in with niggers and retards in your classes.
kill yourself
>>60202356
Wdym? Your telling me I wont get credit if I ace the test?
Just got an echo. What are some tips and tricks I should know?

- If you have an Audible account (you should), you can invoke that by saying "read to me".
- You can link it to your Google Calendar to learn what your schedule looks like on a given day. Also, you can give it your work address to get your commute.
- As far as music goes, the Echo works as a Bluetooth receiver (the Echo Dot works as a Bluetooth *transmitter*), so you can connect your phone. If you have Amazon Prime, some streaming music will be free through that, but some will be locked behind a paywall ($3.99 for Echo-only listening). Alternatively, you can add your own music to your personal Amazon Music library for free, a lot like you'd do with Google Play Music or iTunes Match. Spotify works too.
- GET PHILIPS HUE BULBS. Seriously, they're the best thing to pair with an Echo. Once you start turning your lights off and on with your voice, you never go back.
- For fun, try asking it to close the pod bay doors, or how much wood a woodchuck would chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood. Or ask it to tell you a joke (note: it accepts requests for themed jokes, e.g. pirate jokes, Christmas jokes, etc).
- "Alexa, I have a headache," and "Alexa, I can't sleep" are both legitimate queries. The latter enables a white noise skill!
