Alright I already made a thread on /b/ regarding this topic and I was recommended to make it here instead for safety reasons, anyways ima guy who travels a ton, and I need a good laptop that gets me above average performance on most games (mainly GTA and Overwatch) and I don't know much about pcs etc but it seems like a hastle to bring one. So all I'm asking if this laptop is worth getting ( and if not a better one that is)
The max I can spend is 950$
Also here's another laptop I'm considering
Get a mac , is heard its great for gaming

Back to /b/ with you chum.
Sup /b/ im going to college soon and i have a budget of 800 euros and i can get a 10% on the lenovo website
i want a thinkpad and ive been looking at an i5 8gb E570 priced at €754.02
15.6" screen size is important and so is the numpad
do you have any recommendations?
current gen thinkpads only please
>>60796962
10% discount*
current laptop is a shit acer extensa 5220 and the cursor will randomly delete words and/or jump lines if i so much as tap the touchpad with my palm
Don't get an E series. It's consumer grade shit. Get a T430 or T420, throw a few SSD's in it and spend the rest on food or consumables.
>>60796962
>E
Gross. Get a T570.
does /g/ have any recommendations on specific dumb phones and what's the best/cheapest service provider? i just want a cheap easy phone without features besides calling + texting.
HOW CAN USB-A BOIS COMPETE WITH STRONG SUPERIOR USB-C???
Unfortunately some manufacturers still makes low/mid/mid-high microUSB smartphones (which is probably the fastest way to hit the masses).
Thing could be cheaper then now.
Also, great cable.
Anyone here remember the story about the dude who bought an old server on auction and got it running? He had to put it in through a wall into the basement or something.

Yeah the video was cool and all but i don't know what else the kid has been doing.

Thats the one. Thanks anon
how safe is bit message guys?

I don't know, but I'm quite interested as well. Their goal to replace email will never happen if course, since
1. The government likes to know what people talk about and
2. Normies don't care about anything that goes beyond "Where do I have to click for Google to appear?"
It's a neat concept, but it won't happen.
>>60796317

>>60797138
it needs to happen. I will investigate this further.
What is the text-editor choice of /g/?
For me it's vim, I would like to add an extension for auto-completing variable names, function names and such. I may just swich to something like atom - although that is made with (((Electron))).
Pic not related, it's just the first thing that I could find.
Depends on what I'm doing, and on the enviroment I'm in.
Usually Sublime, though
Neovim with vim-youcompleteme
I just deleted my last two remaining social media accounts: Plebbit and LinkedIn.
For now I am free.
Does /g/ use any social media? Why or why not?
>>60795840
I will now open an account at every social media outlet there is.
Why does PulseAudio suck so much?
The audio stutters randomly in all of my laptops and even on my main PC with an external Scarlett audio card
Are there any solutions/alternatives?
>>60909178
Is it a scarlett 2i2? It took forever to get mine to stop popping
And lemme guess... Arch?
Are you sure its not disk io maxing out.
>>60909187
Yes, it's a scarlett 2i2
And it pops in mint, ubuntu, manjaro EVERY FUCKING DISTRO

DNS = Domain Name System
I am pretty sure that I did everything right but apparently I didn't.
I followed the manual but when I release option button after connecting it to pc nothing happened, no flashing or anything. I tried few times but it doesn't work. Any idea what am I doing wrong?
5) Be sured that your X3 is totally charged. Turn it OFF and unplug the USB cable.
6) Run the script C:\xDuoo\Flash_Rockbox.bat (or C:\xDuoo\Flash_Stock.bat to return to the stock firmware);
7) Press and hold the button "OPTION" pressed;
8) Plug the USB cable connected to PC to X3 then release the button “OPTION”
9) Install the driver for JZ4760 USB Boot if you didn’t install it previously. It is available here: C:\xDuoo\Drivers;
10) The process of flashing must to begin. If it doesn’t start, unplug the USB cable and reset the player. Try flash it again (see prev. 5-8 points) The flashing lasts about 2-3 minutes.
So I have an idea for an app for phones, but I have no clue where to start. I've written everything out but I don't know what I need to make it into something workable. I work in IT as a SysAdmin so I have a good understanding of what needs to happen, just not sure what programs I'll need and languages I'll have to learn. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
>Phones
Gotta be more specific.
>iPhones
Apple has a bunch of proprietary bullshit. I think you'll need xcode and you'll be writing objective-c, but don't quote me on this.
>Android
That's a lot more straightforward - it uses Java. Google made Android Studio just for that (although you can still use something like Eclipse if you want).
>Other (blackberry, windows phone)
I have literally no clue.
>Memes
ionic framework is a good example of a meme. Apparently it's cross-platform so you can develop your iOS app without all of apple's bullshit.
I'm pretty sure there are other memes as well that I can't think of right now.
Also >>>/g/sqt
>>60795314
Cool, Yeah I figured I would develop Android first. It's what I use and what I am use to. I'll look into Android Studio and Java. Thanks!
