this also might be a newfag question but I'm a newfag to /ptg/
What user class gets me the invite forum on MAM
>>60900878
Would it be a problem if I get to the front of the queue but I'm not around for the interview?
Idk where to ask so here it goes: Recently I moved out into the woods and without me knowing, the only option available for internet is satellite. The MS is horrible and it's on average around 600 and spikes to 2000 occasionally. I've heard that getting a hotspot will improve the MS but I don't get any service out there (1x and 2 bars at most).
My question is this: will getting a network extender and connecting my desktop to my hotspot improve MS/Latency?
>inb4 read the sticky
I've called 7 different companies and keep getting pajeets pls help
>>60900748
No,its satellite,its not ment for low latency
>>60900783
Bit would getting a hotspot and connecting to it rather than the satellite be better?
>>60900748
What do you mean by "hotspot"? An LTE modem?
Where I am we have either satellite, or LTE internet. The LTE has to be within range of a tower typically put in by the ISP, not the regular cell towers.
We had a problem getting internet for a while since satellite was too expensive and the ISP hadn't quite expanded out to us at the time.
You're still gonna get pretty shitty ping since your still using wireless but it would be better and usually cheaper than satellite.
Thing is, most LTE providers are expensive as frigg and usually capped quite low. Around here the most you can get is 100GB badnwidth cap, and 25mbps down, 1 mbps up. All for the low low price of $129 Canadian Pesos.
You could use your phone as a hotspot and use the internet from that, but you must have an amazing plan to even be considering that.
What's a good c++ tutorial?
I have some experience in Java and .NET already(i.e. i know the basics of oop)

Who are you quoting?
Anyone own an Apple watch?
I have a friend who will sell me his used for a good price, I'm considering it - but I'm not sure, I never owned a 'smart'watch.
>>60900500
>Anyone own an Apple watch?
No
Shh baby
>>60900500
>Wearing these literal manchild '''smartwatches'''
Nobody looks at these and reflexively thinks, hey that's a nice watch. They aren't expensive enough to be a status symbol, nor are they stylish enough to be a fashion statement.
Why would anyone bother?
so i recently accidentally clicked update to android version 5. i had android version 4.4.2 earlier today and i liked it alot better. i really dont like the theme of android version 5. i cant find anything (that actually works) about getting 4.4.2 back. also i cant find anything about getting themes. i dont post on this board, but im hoping someone here can help me.
my phone is a galaxy s5, the model is g900az.
so could someone here help me either get 4.4.2 back or get a good theme?
pic related is what happens when i try to use odin to install 4.4.2 also on the screen of my phone it says in red text: "sw rev check fail : [aboot]fused 3 > binary 1"
>>60900443
How about looking up a stock 4.4.2 ROM and flash it?
>>60900443
just upgrade it to android 7, look at xda online and youll find really good roms
(id recommend ressurection remix)
having an old rom is asking for shit security
flash twrp and find a 4.4.2 stock zip on xda
this makes me sad
why don't computers seem fun and exciting like they used to be?
because you're jaded and don't know enough to make them fun and exciting or recognize fun or exciting things when you see them.
protip: Encarta was neither of those things
>>60899739
Is there anything like Encarta? I miss offline multimedia encyclopedias.
>>60899807
>I miss offline multimedia encyclopedias.
Why? Seriously, why?
Realistically, what % of programmers are good?

the Linux ecosystem needs strong leadership to accomplish the following:
>Develop an operating system with a unified and centralized set of standards so that it "just works" for the end user
>get the word out: viral marketing, aggressive advertisements, whatever it takes.
>this one's crucial: needs to be able to make deals with many, many manufacturers to start preinstalling their OS instead of Windows, and for stores to sell these computers.

What the hell is the point of Chromebooks? What the fuck do they even do? From what i've read they just sound like a more locked down and useless version of linux that runs as fast as a fat person up a hill during a heatwave.
To eat apple's macbook market share filled with gullible retards who mostly browse facebook.
>>60899337
Dont make fat jokes anon.
Anyway the point of a chromebook is lowlevel botnet workbook for using google's apps. If you mod them, they make great travelbooks.
>>60899559
And what to do if I don't have an internet connection or need more power?
the s7 and s7 edge are pretty much the same price unlocked right now on amazon
the edge has a bigger batter but i read some people say the edges are annoying
anyone who can share some wisdom?
>>60899186

which other phone would u recommend for 500 bucks?
Coming from /mu/ for some advice. My dad was really into the myst series so for his birthday/father's day my siblings and I want to get him a new laptop to run Obduction on. Whats the best bang for our buck on a laptop that will run games nicely and be used for causal internet browsing? Trying not to spend over 700. Being a fag i don't know anything and currently deciding between the samsung 15.6" and lenovo yoga 710. Am I way off here?
What relevance does you browsing /mu/ regularly have on your post? Literally who gives a fuck.

I saw a few durability tests and that only seems to happen when you go out of your way to bend the phone as hard as possible.
Alright /g/, Apple did it, it's now competing with mobile quad-core i7's.
I wonder if those ARM chips can into "hyperthreading", anyone has info on this?
Remember all that Intel performance comes from the 3.8GHz turbo boost.
those scores aren't even remotely close

Is the OS and software on old, out of service smartphones (2-7 yrs old) vulnerable if I were to connect them to the internet via wifi?

Yes, but then you have to somehow visit a website that uses the specific vulnerability.
