If you would like to try out GNU/Linux you can do one of the following:
0) Install a GNU/Linux distribution of your choice in a Virtual Machine.
1) Use a live image and to boot directly into the GNU/Linux distribution without installing anything.
2) Dual boot the GNU/Linux distribution of your choice along with Windows or macOS.
3) Go balls deep and replace everything with GNU/Linux.

> Playable Ads – Acquire Users Who Love to Engage with Your App
https://blogs.windows.com/buildingapps/2017/03/09/playable-ads-acquire-users-love-engage-app/#uqTEm7WdLgZO8WWH.97
> Playable Ads are a completely new way for end users to interact with ads and apps. With this capability, end users never leave the current app. The ad click will result in inline expandable app streaming: for three minutes, the user can interact with the app as if it’s already installed on his/her device. This gives the user time to decide if he or she wants to install the app. At the end of the streaming session, users can click on a link to install the app if the app experience met expectations.

Why are programming language syntax so different?
why can't they all be like python?
Python does in one word what requires three words in java.
Those three words converted into the micro seconds it takes to type them translates into months of time lost over a lifetime.
python is garbage tho

Bluetooth headphones that wont brake the bank?
I tried these https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=13893 but every hour or so they pause all sound and scream the battery level at you and theres no way to disable it. So I'm gonna return them.
>>59341525
That's hilarious
I got some Bluetooth earbuds that literally cost like $15 as a stocking stuffer at Christmas. They sound surprisingly decent for $15. I think they're called like Maxbo or something.
I am trying to learn about the inside of my computer, and to see if i can upgrade it. I have a dell inspiron 620s slim with an i3-2120, 6gb ram, and windows 7. I've had this computer for around 8 years and it's been great i just need some advice on where i can look up what graphics card is in this pre built pc, and a website for compatibility of parts ect. i am very new to opening my pc, but i really want to try it out. It's not necessarily for speed and improvements, but more as a learning experience. Know any helpful websites?Thanks in advance for any help.
>>59341453
Took two seconds in google to look it up. It's prob. just using integrated. Those small PCs can't really handle graphics cards outside of a GT 730 or something. https://www.cnet.com/products/dell-inspiron-620-core-i3-2120-3-3-ghz-6-gb-500-gb/specs/
>>59341486
This is where i get confused looking online i can find it has a AMD Radeon HD6450, but how can i be sure?

Have you worked long-time with visual studio?
If yes, how do you like it?
Personally I'm a long-time eclipse user and every time I do something with VS I'm pretty impressed by its functionality and how nice it looks compared to the eclipse crap.
Pic related, testing VS2017 with dolphin, git integration and debugging seem to work pretty neatly...
>>59340954
IDEs are only worth it if you have a 4K monitor
>>59340982
Maybe if you have a lot of time to waste. IDEs are extremely helpful
>>59340954
>eclipse
You'd better be working on a full IBM java stack, or I'm gonna be confused. Like, a full-blown Lotus Sametime-integrated, Rational Application Developer with Rational Team Concert, Websphere-server-tab and DB2 stack. There's no other reason to use Eclipse.
What is the difference
red devil says it has 2000mhz x4 memory
Rx 480 gigabyte says it has 8000MHz
That means its the same right
also what do you guys think is a better card
And don't say they both suck because idk loud or poor oc potencial because i don't oc and i have good headphones so loud fans for cooling a hot vga won't be a problem. Also I'm on a low budget and these two seem the best for my top $
>>59340915
8000mhz is the effective speed, not the actual clock of the memory. 2000mhz is its real clock speed.
They are both the same.
Get an XFX GTR RX 480 or a Sapphire Nitro.

>giving Jewple your credit card details in the first place
You deserve this.
>>59340639
you mean like TEN FUCKING YEARS AGO when i got the first ipod touch and have completely forgotten about apple since.
Its my moms credit card, and somebody hacked the account to make some gay clash clans purchase.
It should be illegal to make it impossible to delete account information
>>59340624

Found your problem.
is their some sort of operating system in a self driving car? could you use windows or linux in a car??
pic not related
>>59340620
That's the least of your worries if you own a modern car.
>>59340620
linux is a kernel, not an operating system
>>59340620
Can you port Doom to a self driving car?
