Iv'e been teaching myself C++ for years now (I just started college) and I pretty much know in detail most aspects of it plus I can code just about any idea I come up with. I want to code graphics from the ground up with like Open-GL or SDL. Is it a good move to learn these things? Do colleges teach Open-GL like that? I guess my main focus is being able to make a game engine or something from scratch

What are you asking?
Is it a good idea to learn OpenGL? Well you only have two options and even though I'm a Microsoft apologist, I don't recommend the other.
Is it a good idea to learn OpenGL from the ground up? You'll be pretty limited in your graphical options if you don't learn the inner workings of OpenGL.

OP here to kick this off.
Just bought a new phone since I dropped previous one and screen is rip. Been transferring most things fine by simply plugging them both in my computer and literal click and drag. However I cannot seem to find where the contacts are stored.
Google points me to here
/data/data/android.providers.contacts/databases
But mine is different, see pic related

My next purchase will be a you're keyboard, wanted one for a while my corsair K70 was one of my most regretted purchases.
Tossed between a Leopold or HHKB. Even a realforce isn't out of the question.
Can't seem to find a decent place to deliver to the UK though.

IRC: #/tpg/ on irc.rizon.net
Other business laptops are also welcome in /tpg/ (e.g. Dell Latitude/Precision, HP EliteBook/ZBook).
----
If you're looking for purchase advice, READ THE BUYERS GUIDE FIRST. Then post, stating budget and requirements (e.g. size and performance).
Don't buy anything OTHER THAN T, X AND W/P SERIES if you want the Real ThinkPad Experience™
Recommended models:
T420 - 14", normal size
X220 - 12.5", ultraportable
----
Why ThinkPad? (also applies to other business laptops)
>Used machines are plentiful and cheap.
>Excellent keyboards - tactile feel and quiet.
>Great durability: chassis uses a magnesium rollcage for structural integrity, with high quality plastic body panels.
>Utilitarian design: e.g. indicator LEDs, 7 row keyboard layout on older models.
>Docking stations that easily turns your laptop into a desktop.
>Easy to repair, upgrade and maintain thanks to readily available service manuals for every model. Spare parts are easy and cheap to obtain.
>The best trackpoint (that red thing in the middle of the keyboard). Great for those who type a lot or hate swiping their fingers all over a touchpad.
>Excellent GNU/Linux & *BSD support.
