In your opinion, what's the best gaming laptop for the money?
Weight is not an issue. I lift go to the gym and lift heavy on a regular basis.
I'm thinking pic related is a good bet, especially with the carrying case but it's a bit too expensive.
Why would you want a gaming laptop? Just curious
>>62439160
What else am I going to use a computer for? It'd be nice to have something I can take with me.
>>62439021
Razer laptop with an eGPU, fucking faggot. Now go back to /v/.
How do I convince my mom that EMF (electromagnetic frequencies) from things like wifi aren't dangerous?
It's a really hard thing for me to try and convince her of because there are so many sources online that will just make up whatever they want, and she can just cite any of them and I can't really disprove anything. She has a "professional" coming to her house tomorrow to "check the signals" to see if she's in any danger. I'm currently living with and taking care of her, so if she thinks that having wifi is making her cancer worse, all that means is I lose internet, and she gets to believe that the problem has been solved when in reality nothing's really changed outside of me losing my internet.
She has cancer, which is only making her more worried about this, but I really don't think EMF is a real thing to be concerned with outside of placebo effects. I don't think I'm being selfish, I just have no understanding of how EMF could possibly impact somebody's recovery from cancer outside of the psychological realm of things.
This isn't the first time I've struggled trying to get her to understand the fundamentals of this stuff. I know why these things aren't dangerous but I can't find any good sources or ways to explain it. Any ideas?
If she has cancer (and isn't a complete bitch) you should probably at least pretend to humor her. Just hide the router somewhere where she won't find it (still plugged in) and she won't be able to tell it's on. Maybe rename the AP to a neighbor's wifi or something as well.
Deceive your cancer ridden mother anon

But they ARE dangerous.
See: you're using your computer and shit often, and you're a retard. Is it a coincidence? I don't think so.
'morning anons.
What hardware / chassis would g recommend for building a domestic firewall?
It needs to be silent or very close to it and be able to take two PCI NIC's (GB ethernet card and a wireless card) or Three NICS if no onboard LAN.
I did this before with a refurbed desktop core 2 duo off ebay but my house got power surge / nuked a few weeks ago. Core 2 Duo was perfect - you couldnt hear the fan and it never got above 15pc CPU running IPTables, Snort IDS, Airodump-ng.
I have been looking at ebay for another refurbed desktop but they seem thin on the ground now. I also looked at the wikipedia entry for form factors and there were approx a gorillion of the fuckers.
Can install Gentoo if necessary. (No I'm serious, I might give that a go with this box)
that was a bit convoluted heres the TLDR:
>onboard GB ethernet
> space for 2 PCI cards
> Fanless
> smallish form factor (SFF or lower)
Thanks anons.
bumping for interest.
Sounds like you're looking for a Proliant microserver (Gen 8)
2 GB ethernet ports out of the box, a PCI slot, pretty small, only about $200
It's not fanless, but not loud enough that you'd really notice.
The more I learn this language the more I love it. How do I become a master at C?

have you already read that book?
Linux Man is your best friend for best reference at system calls and other functions - threads, memory allocation, file I/O - it's all in here.
Try doing some advanced-level projects, such as server and client, or try reading some open source projects sources.
Hey /g/ I've been trying to get further into OOP. I get the basics and fundamentals and everything, but the more complicated design patterns are not coming to me as easy. What books does /g/ recommend to learn good OOP practices?
Also on a side note sometimes it seems like /g/ thinks OOP is a meme? Why is that the case? Is it?
>>62438875
Academics and NEET programmers hate OOP because they are lazy and don't need modularity.
>>62438875
Try writing some code. When your project is at about 1000 lines, you'll see what design patterns are and why they are needed.
>>62438898
I've been writing code... I do see why design patterns are needed. As for what they are I can kind of recognize when needs to be used. Regardless I want to study known design patterns... Do you have any recomendations on a source?

Has AB hit the user cap?
Hey /g/,
I was asked to optimize this function in my interview today. I don't think it can get any faster. wat do?char* foo(int bar) {
char * d = calloc(1, 10);
while (bar >0) {
*d++ = bar & 0x7F;
bar = bar >> 7;
}
return d;
}
>>62438812
you are retarded or this is low quality bait.
>>62438812
doesn't this irreparably leak memory, since d gets incremented before it gets returned? can't be freed later....
you optimize it by firing the idiot that wrote it in the first place.
>>62438960
Sorry, I am writing it from memory. It should be:char * d = calloc(1, 10);
char * ret = d;
...
return ret;
Recently I traded a Samsung tablet from someone who I thought was a friend before they left state. They gave it to me because they owed me money After they left they informed me it was stolen. So I've tried reformatting but when I did it gave me a msg saying it was an unauthorized attempt to restore to factory settings.
What should I do now? Is there no other way to do it?
>>62438632
Give it back Jamal.
>>62438632
Give it back, shaqwan.
>>62438632
Give it back.

what the fuck is wrong with my shit senpai, almost everyday, sometimes multiple times a day, my PC will completely lock up
the image in the screen will freeze and nothing else will happen, sound stops, theres no blue screen, and the only way to fix it is to turn the PSU off and back on
ive tried replacing my RAM, reverting my GPU and CPU overclocks, running RAM below spec etc and it still happens. what the fuck is this?
Your GPU is dying.
>>62438385
its a 970 ive had for less than two years, im pretty sure this happened before i got it as well
cpu: 4790K
gpu: 970
mobo: asus maximus gene 7
is it a driver conflict? i havent messed with chipset drivers or anything, but i know this has happened over MANY different gpu driver versions and windows versions. happened on windows 8 as well
is the hdd in use during the freeze?
I have a 120GB Samsung SSD from around 4 years ago.
Worth upgrading to a M.2 SSD?
From what I hear, there will basically only be a marginal improvement to all tasks. Only thing you'll notice are stuff like photoshop and games loading quicker. Other than that not much.
Here's a quick guide on if you should
1. Can you afford it?
If yes, buy it. If you can't, save up for it.
2. Do you need it?
If you just want improvements and you can afford it, again, go for it.
>>62438365
it really depends on the workload you have.
120gb is small tho.
Just slapped in a 1tb 960 Evo this evening. I didn't realize that z97 boards don't have full PCIE x4 M.2 slots so it is only running around 800 read 800 wright. Still a noticeable improvement on the old 500gb 850 evo. It'll be nice to get my R7 1800x and C6H next month.
