how to tie a noose
Your sole goal is to trick stupid people into purchasing overpriced things they don't need, not to be good at fixing technology. Your manager will not care if you have to wipe a client's machine because you don't know how to fix it otherwise, and he might encourage you to do so if it's faster.

Fuck. Why.

Privacy -- is it really anything to be paranoid about? What is the real extent of the corporate spying going on? I'm pretty well aware of the US gov't surveillance ordeal but what about the big companies that share data with them? What can they do to me besides sell my data? Should it really matter enough to inconvenience yourself by disabling all the junk Windows 10 wants you to enable?
they can let everybody know you like weird porn.
>>58863241
I'm not a citizen of the burgers and I choose not to give away my privacy to the burgerland.
Simple. FUCK burgers.

You might not be doing anything wrong now, but a change of government means that that perfectly legal things you did today are illegal tomorrow.
If the FBI busted into your house right now and you were stopped before you could shut off your computer do you have a back up plan?
How would you make a dead mans switch that would save your ass in a situation like that?
My best idea would be something stupid like just having a password prompt popup and lock the screen every like 30 minutes or less and if you don't pass it in time the computer shuts off
>>58862972
1) Encrypt Hard drive
2) Have switch on power strip easily accessible
Or Don't have anything illegal on your computer you pedo.
Problem solved
If the computer is set to destroy itself on invalid password entry and some moron decides to just try a password who's in trouble?
I'm presuming it's the person who owns the data but maybe not?
>>58862996
>Have switch on power strip easily accessible
I said that they already have you detained or neutralized so there is no moving around at all
Kicking off with loltex.
Unless you are writing material that has a huge amount of mathematical or chemical formulas, there is absolutely no point in using this horse shit. 99% of Latex users simply use it because they have Asperger's syndrome.
>>58862943
The problem is not LaTeX. The problem is these faggots who think they're "l33t" because only normies use realtime editors and sheit.
They pretend like it's a replacement for Office, which it simply isn't. It's great for its actual purpose, like you said.
>>58862943
>not just handwriting anything that isn't trivial to input into a PC
Latex is a total waste of time. The pen and paper have withstood the test of time
Why doesn't AMD have any high-end cards this gen?
>>58862929
I really hope you jokeing asking that.
>>58863032
>nothing higher than the RX 480
WTF AMD
>>58862929

It's all a delusion. The transistor can't be shrinked that easily anymore and NVIDIA and AMD are a Cartel. Since GPUs are almost 100% parallelized machines (unlike CPUs) you can just stick more transistors in them and directly make them faster. Problem is since the transistor is still stagnated per area of die, they can only become overpriced to give out something much faster. As a result NVIDIA can be faster only by being overpriced. AMD could easily do it too but they work with cheaper products.
When someone shills for NVIDIA or they shill for AMD tell them they are idiots. Both AMD and NVIDIA produce almost exactly the same product. The fact NVIDIA sticks more cores into them doesn't make them different technologically.

wtf I love AMD now
Can't wait for the benchmarks when it's shit and getting to listen to a year of "Wait for Zen 2"

For an assignment in my College Computer class I have to write an essay about a new or emerging technology. Im not sure what to choose any suggestions?
Anyone
Maybe IOT. There's a lot of info both good and bad about it.
>>58862729
Gentoo, it's not new but it's emerging
So, who here is excited for AMD to Make x86 Great Again?
>LOW END PRICE FOR 8c/16: 320$
>LITERALLY DOUBLE A 7700K FOR THE SAME PRICE
>>58862720
if this is true then intel is truly finished, but i'll wait for the benchmarks.
>>58862758
>if this is true then intel is truly finished
Yeah maybe they'll drop to an 85% market share. Truly the end
Remember when AMDrones were saying the RX 480 would be cheaper, more power efficient GTX 980?
What the hell is this shit? Is speccy lying?
I'm more than certain I have my display at 1080p, why is Speccy saying its at 720p?
Speccy is crap
>>58862369
Because you are using a korean monitor or a cheap TV.
>>58863250
Yeah you have a 720p TV hooked up and downscaling 1080p.
>make every you watch look like shit
>>58862342
>>58862378
The upscaled version has a smaller file size too!
It's like magic
gf has a 4k with smooth motion. its true, 1080p doesn't look as crisp as it does on my xbr and not enough bandwidth to stream 4k if we could.
I'm a victim of organized harassment. I was harassed in California, Seattle and even here in Tokyo. I was harassed on Untied Airlines flight to Tokyo by white passengers as well as the sky marshall and my plane food was poisoned. I get harassed by Japanese employees at establishments such as Denny's, TGIF, Church's Chicken (USA), McDonalds, Costco. And I was poisoned with spoiled coleslaw at KFC. I'm surveilled by stalkers in my neighborhood. They use their smartdevices to track me and just recently Pokemon Go is now being used to track me. I believe I've been cast as a Pokemon character in this game. Some suggests that I have nano technology in or on my body. I'm convinced that the stalkers are completely mind controlled by programmed by EMF devices such as body scanners at grocery stores, shopping malls, and airports. Any victims here experiencing the same things?
>>58862237
Nobody is out to get you.
Please seek psychiatric treatment immediately.
Literally nobody gives a shit about you, especially not in japan
>>>/x/
Your literally paranoid that everyone is out to get you.
That or your Tumblr tier and get harassed/triggered when someone assumes your species.
The world is a fucking huge place and noone except people close will probably ever give a second shit about you
Realise how big the fucking world and universe are and how insignificant you are
Or go see a therapist
You need to read up on CIA NIGGERS and what you can do about them
Anybody else here like watching shows and/or movies while coding?
What's some /g/ approved shit I can watch while doing so?
