I don't mind taking some breaks from vidya because I'm no longer an enthusiast. But it would be pretty sweet to play some while onboard some ship in the middle of an ocean. Will "cooler pads" fix this ventilation fan issue or just make me look like an idiot? Are they 9fag-tier memes?

Depends on the cooling arrangement of the laptop itself. My y50 had a huge vent on the bottom, I just raised it off my desk with blocks of plastic and I noticed a benefit.
Most of these pads are memes, especially on back/side vent arrangements.

My PC does this sometimes. It should automatically shutdown if it exceeds a specific threshold. But if it doesn't have that feature (unlikely) and you start to smell burning, take it back and complain
Is there any way to search an entire search engine's index for a certain file type? What i'm trying to look for is very obscure and theres little resources available from a simple search

warning it's a fucking long read but it's definitely worth it
>Some of the wealthiest people in America—in Silicon Valley, New York, and beyond—are getting ready for the crackup of civilization.
>Steve Huffman, the thirty-three-year-old co-founder and C.E.O. of Leddit, which is valued at six hundred million dollars, was nearsighted until November, 2015, when he arranged to have laser eye surgery. He underwent the procedure not for the sake of convenience or appearance but, rather, for a reason he doesn’t usually talk much about: he hopes that it will improve his odds of surviving a disaster, whether natural or man-made. “If the world ends—and not even if the world ends, but if we have trouble—getting contacts or glasses is going to be a huge pain in the ass,” he told me recently. “Without them, I’m fucked.”
>Huffman, who lives in San Francisco, has large blue eyes, thick, sandy hair, and an air of restless curiosity; at the University of Virginia, he was a competitive ballroom dancer, who hacked his roommate’s Web site as a prank. He is less focussed on a specific threat—a quake on the San Andreas, a pandemic, a dirty bomb—than he is on the aftermath, “the temporary collapse of our government and structures,” as he puts it. “I own a couple of motorcycles. I have a bunch of guns and ammo. Food. I figure that, with that, I can hole up in my house for some amount of time.”
Even the re ddit faggot is getting ready.
I read this and it made me wonder that it makes sense that programmers and tech people would get prepared in advance as we tend to be ahead of the curve, i.e. ahead of normies.
Being nerds might actually be what saves us.

What would be a good way to encode Video, Images or even digital information as audio files that can be recovered using a microphone or audio line-in? I'm aware of SSTV for Images, which works really nicely but surely people might have worked on more complex modulations just for the sake of it? So far I've tried Trellis Modulation and SSTV, which works pretty nice but how far can we push it in terms of efficiency.

I'm new to this but a fast check on wikipedia tells me SSTV is uses radio frequencies as a medium, not sound.
Technically you can use any wiless protocol with sound as a medium, thoug you will have huge constrains on latency and throughput, probably big error-rate and won't get the signal very far. It's an interesting experiment noneteless. Maybe we could try to implement wifi on it (and send any data using normal internet protocols)

You mean like fiberoptics?

>>62070468
Wow
Imagine that
Modulating data in such a way that it can be transferred as analog sound
Surely this is not a thing
Image also de modulating it again as data
Wow

Surely this cannot exist

You meant to write#define true false
#define false (rand() % 2 == 0)
There is a way to combat this (although you can never be sure)#define sanity2 (true || true)
#define sanity4 (sanity2 || sanity2)
#define sanity8 (sanity4 || sanity4)
#define sanity16 (sanity8 || sanity8)
#define sanity sanity16
#define insanity2 (false && false)
#define insanity4 (insanity2 && insanity2)
#define insanity8 (insanity4 && insanity4)
#define insanity16 (insanity8 && insanity8)
#define insanity insanity16

Even when accounting for conversions from Mebibyte and Megabyte.
Even when accounting for all system partitions.
Storage devices STILL have less storage than advertised, how do companies defend this???

64 GB == 59.60464 GiB
After rounding 60 GiB
27.5 MiB + 256 MiB + 53.6 GiB + 110 MiB + 16 MiB + 3 GiB + 64 MiB == 57.0735 GiB
After rounding 57.1 GiB

60 GiB - 57.1 GiB = 2.9 GiB

ITT: We discuss why Object Pascal / Delphi is the best language.
>no virtual bullshit it just compiles like c
>std libs compatible with any platform, including mobile phones

>strong db management out of the box
>settled language with a serious business (embarcadero) constantly improving the language.

Node vs Golang for medium sized project developed by one person?
I know them both fairly well, I use Python mainly in work, but I want something new, more performant & maintainable in my sideproject

Either are maintainable (Python too) as long as you stick to a clear style. Performance depends on size but I'd imagine the difference is material only at a much larger scale. I'd go with Node personally, but if you want type safety Go.

You need something to execute it at the Shell level so not purely but if you have kennel level yes.

Of course, assembler just replaces binary sequences with human readable mnemonics, you can write 000111 or hex instead of assembler code, it will be the same.

Zen 2 will be 7nm and it's coming out in late 2018 or early 2019.
Do you think Intel will have a response by then? Or they're fucked harder than Anne Frank in a brothel filled with drunk Gestapo officers?

I literally see no better phone in the market that has:
+ Removable battery & Micro SD (main upside)
+ Waterproof
+ Decent Screen
+ Decent Camera
Have smartphones gone downhill or what?

The fuck has happened to me?
My Winamp playlist is filled with hundreds of hours of porn and it's actually really on my HDDs, filling over 700 Gigabytes. I just left the PC running over night and this is what I woke up to.
My router tells me that it has been downloading porn at full speed for the whole night. What the fuck?
