The EXACT same thing happens with that iso.

Chinkpads ruined everything

Because unironically, Macs just werk for the most part.

They are cheaper to run because retards in HR don't break Macs every 5 minutes therefor most of the IT helpdesk staff can be fired. It just werks.

>gaming computer
It's a money pit. Build only what you need for doing work and play as much as it can handle on the side. Good enough.

Mechanical keyboards. Honestly after using them for a long ass time then recently trying a membrane there's not enough of a difference to warrant the price of them. It's a keyboard and membranes work fine.

>key strokes feel nice
>prolonged usage feels horrible
>hands hurt after 10 minutes of typing

>buy ergonomic keyboard for half the price
>can type for 30minutes like its nothing

You mean the antique receiver idiots?

They want you to think it's because they're quirky patrician "collectors" but they just fished it out of a dumpster

Incorrect. Most of my downloads come from Empornium.

>What are you downloading
You mean, like, illegally? Because the answer to that is "nothing at all". In fact, ever since I went <full adult> and made actual money, I started to pay for everything, because it's just so much more convenient! Need a program to edit audio files and be annoyed by Audacity's clunky GUI? BAM! Bought something that fits my needs for like 30 bucks. Keep saving the same porn by accident and need a program that finds duplicates using an efficient algorithm? BAM! Another 15 bucks and problem solved! Remember how good the original Command & Conquer soundtrack was? Ka-pow! 9 bucks and it's easily available on all of my devices; no need to manually copy it everywhere. I use torrents only for "emergencies", like whenever something I want isn't available through reasonable means - fansubbed anime would be the prime example.

They aren't.

Carefully.

Seriously I don't know the answer but this sounds like a worthwhile question so here's a bump. Good luck.

>fucking adapters are useful as fuck for random projects I have, but TOO MANY. HALP.

Donate to Goodwill. I pick cables up from there all the time, as do others in my area given how quickly the stock turns over. Shit's even better than Monoprice on both price and convenience.

I dont understand how the most straight fonward circuits can become so utterly fucked when translated into verilog.

>>59805854
Verilog is pretty mellow, C-syntax. The hard part is just realizing it's not really procedural, and it's literally a hardware description language. You're probably just mad because you don't know what you're doing in your digital circuits class or whatever.

None of the languages you all whine about are god forsaken. If you think you can do better, invent it. But you probably can't, because most of it is already as simple and straight forward as it can be. The real 'god forsaken' languages are the 'higher' level ones, where these 'programmers' become entirely separated from what is going on underneath.

>>59805693
Don't cry to /g/, practice top coder, leetcode, hackerrank, old ACM questions etc...

Also make sure you have a solid ds & a background so you don't miss simple solutions (clrs is good enough)

65 score here. Try being better.

Think of this as an opportunity and a gateway to better things, you could look back at today in 10 years time and remember it as the day you took the extra step and made something really great of yourself

It reeks of "too good to be true."

Shit's either busted and/or hot, famalam.

If you think it's worth the risk then go ahead. That's a too good to be true bargain and I would take the risk as well.

Maybe the dumb idiot forgot a 0

Basic is a precursor to VisualBasic. Learn Fortran if you want to wear a fedora.
