Some people on a thread here in /tech/ were saying desktop threads are now banned.
Is that true? How? Why?

Hey, just asking if it's true.
Give me your best Hard Drive Power On Hours.
24297 hours.
My computer doesn't stay off for more than the time it takes to reboot.
My main and only HDD
so /g/, I need some advice on a new laptop. I know most of you are going to joke about this, but I'm serious.
I'm gay and for years have been buying macbooks so I don't look out of place during various events I go to, but I don't like the new macbooks and the lacks of proper usb.
I need something that looks good and will still fit in among the gay community/my friends, but doesn't look autistic like stupid gamer crap.
the dell xps thing looks good, but the the colours don't really work.
any advice?

Wireless Speed is shitty 300mbps. Thinking of getting a gigabit card. Which is better? USB or PCI/PCIe Wireless? Hardwired isn't exactly an option.
>>60041135
You'd need to have a router that supports those speeds as well, and you will never see advertised wireless bandwidth numbers unless your device is right next to the router with absolutely nothing else interfering or using any 2.4ghz or 5ghz band.
>>60041135
PCI gigabit wireless cards don't exist. PCI-e are flakey and buggy as fuck. USB is the only one I've found that works consistently.
Here's a challenge.
Create a bot that looks through Twitter to find people who have said things like "trump will never win" are now saying "le pen will never win". When you find a Twitter account that has said both things, tweet at them with a far right message reminding them of the trump presidency actually happened, top kek.

I transported my pc and now it wont turn on properly, it just gets stuck on a black screen with a blinking underscore. What do?
Install Gentoo
>>60040727
Something probably jostled loose. Unplug everything, disconnect all parts and reseat them.
>>60040727
Got any experience installing computer hardware i.e. hdd?
If so check how your boot drive is doing physically.
Are you sure you don't get anything before your blinking underscore i.e. the menu that's there for a couple seconds that you can press a button to get into the bios of your motherboard?
I can't restore Classic Youtube View anymore!
What to do? Their new interface hangs my browser and is slow as fuck. I told Youtube that and they ignored my feedback. ARGH!

Aight guys I thought the prebuilt shit was a meme but I honestly cant buy these parts for less than what IBUYPOWER sells a complete system for..

Wtf? Why can't anyone give a real answer?

I just failed a job interview /g/.
They asked me to write a program (they recommended in Python, but would accept any language) that:
the client:
accepts a host and port number from the command line
Requests the Quote of the Day from the specified host (different network) over UDP
Prints the resulting quote
only accepts responses from specified server
and times out after 10 seconds
The server should:
accept a port number from the command line
Receive requests from any address
Reply to requests with the Quote of the Day
I've scoured the internet, and I haven't found much except it's outdated, and port 17 is important.
Does anyone know how to do this?
>>60040182
They also asked me to do it over TCP as well--couldn't figure that one out either
>>60040182
Does python not have a sockets library of some kind?
>>60040432
It does
Import sockets I think
Import sys is also needed

would you prefer that it did its system maintenance while you were trying to use it to do other shit
>>60040116
It should atleast notify me about the maintenance. And it doesn't do it only when I leave it idle. When playing I sometimes sense the FPS drops - check the update manager and turns out it downloads shit.
