What's the best laptop for ~$1000
My current laptop is on its last leg, almost literally, and I need to a new one. I've got about $1300 to spend on it but I'd prefer not to spend it all. Nvidia is releasing new GPUs that are really thin so there's a bunch of new ones coming out later in June so I might wait, but I'm looking now anyhow.
I'm looking for something with a GTX 1060 or 1050ti, i5 or i7, 8-16GB ram, 15-17 inch. Usual stuff.

Buy yourself a desktop sonny and save yourself the trouble, maximum performance.

I go to uni 1200 miles from my house, can't move a desktop very easily. Though I'd definitely prefer one
What actual advantage do these have over regular laptops?They are almost as big and heavy as most notebooks but unlike the notebooks they usualy have shitty moble cpu and run android.Yeah you can get windows 10 tablets but they are so overpriced it's not even funny!
you can hold them at weird angles so you can hide from your wife the porn you're watching
Laptops are for content creation
Tablets are for content consumption
Tablet sales are on a decline already
Phablets happened
And Windows 10 on Tablets is still a meme and you want to use those Win32 apps on a Laptop and not on a touchscreen
Also Windows 10 S will completely butcher this feature making future tablets DOA

>They are almost as big and heavy as most notebooks
lolwut
My 10" chinkpad weighs fuck all, lasts all day, and I can boot to Windows if I need to use a specific program, or Android for general media consumption/shitposting.
Cost me $120 canadian.
And yeah it's not for gaymen but I could run any game on the market that I want anyway.
What should be done about this /g/?
A year or so ago I basically thought I could ignore all this identity politics stuff and still bag a /comfy/ job, but the snowball just seems to be growing and growing at all the big companies where I might want to apply.
Should we start calling out this sort of sexism/discrimination on Twitter etc.?

Don't tease the gorilla in the monkey house.
If you're white and male, you'll get burned and blacklisted before your career even started.
>>60767096
RIP Harambe.
Just let the big companies that hire token niggers and feminazis crash to the ground and burn. Get a job at smaller, local business.
I cant be the only one who thinks that.

your beard genetics are complete shit. You have no beard that grows on your cheeks, just shave it off already.

Why? You guys know the Linux kernel has a built in virtualization system, right?

Fucking plebs

What's the advantage of using the built in one and how do I do it?
Wikipedia appreciation thread
Fun fact: RMS almost made Wikipedia
https://www.gnu.org/encyclopedia/
I remember when I could make edits without having them immediately reverted and being blocked from further editing by an overzealous autistic retard admin who perceives me as some kind of threat because I intruded on his turf.
These are the kinds of people who maintain wikipedia.
>>60766721
Stop doing shit edits then
>>60766721
That looks like exactly who I would have hoped edited wikipedia
Lethal autists who want to categorize and archive things
Hello /g/. I'm in my first year of an Electronics graduation and always sucked at math. I somehow managed to go really well in Circuits, Calculus I and Digital Systems and my teacher invited me into a Power Electronics research group.
It's been a week and I can't even grasp the basic concepts, like Laplace, Fourier, low-pass filters and all that crap. I'm afraid my math weaknesses are gonna start to show and I won't be able to keep up. Anyone ever been through a similar situation?
>>60766691
>It's been a week and I can't even grasp the basic concepts, like Laplace, Fourier, l
try harder
>lowpass filters
just convert the components to complex impedance (requires laplace/fourier) and look at the voltage, see how it varies as you increase/decrease frequency. I doubt they make you do the integrals for fourier/laplace x-form, it is more likely that you're just using tables.
>anyone ever been through a similar situation
I majored in applied math while working through my EE degree, so I do not know this feel; my math skills are amazing.
>>60766691
You really don't need to be strong in math to understand Laplace/Fourier/Z-transforms unless you're trying to do them entirely by hand which is pointless.
They're pretty foreign concepts if you've never worked with general transforms before, but you really will get better if you just keep at it.

Thanks. I won't give up then.
I have i7 4770K, should i upgrade to i7 7700k? is it worth of speed?
>>60766255
No.
>>60766255
No
fuck off
>>60766255
No.
>not safely removing your USB dongle
My dongle is completely safe to remove without ejecting the drive.

btw this is the most underrated post I've seen in the past 10 years on this board.

>>60765764
Does it kill the poordroid running Android 7 though?
>>60765764
Literally, why do I care?
I'm still using Windows 7. If something comfortable, and works, why the shit am I going to upgrade it, when it does nothing for me?
Fun fact: I'm part of that percentage of iPhone users not on 10. I have an unupgraded 9.3 SE, cause I liked my 4 until it died.

you are doing something wrong, my grades are not as impressive as yours and I have gotten interviews at least
work on your social skills perhaps?

I have only gotten a phone call back from an application, the rest have rejection by email

You sound like a turboautist. I have a 2.5GPA and at the time literally didn't know what an object or compiler was and I got a paid internship. Of course they didn't hire me back, but that was because they perceived me as lazy and were convinced I knew how to program.
If you're actually educated you just need to start putting points into CHA.
I've applied for an education in programming and I've been asked to write a tic-tac-toe game. Take into account that I have zero knowledge on how to program and I generally just don't know where to start. Any suggestions?
>>60765191
first pick a language, if you literally know nothing just go with python, for now, later you can learn proper stuff. Look up your questions on stackoverflow and break up you plan in small little steps. then complete them step by step until you have your ttt
Does it really make sense to withhold entry into a programming degree if you don't know how to program?
What's your program actually called?
I wish schools in the US would ask for prerequisite programming knowledge before being allowed into the computer degrees.
What
>>60765226, said plus look for the source code of any open source tic tac toe game on internet..
Name a better low price processor
>>60764361
any sandy or ivy quad core on an oc chipset.
If we're talking new only, there prob won't be a chip that will beat it on price/performance for dad builds but the new AMD APU are prob going to make a compelling argument in laptops and low end gaming desktops with their massively more powerful iGPU.
there isn't but supply is really gay at the moment like with the rx 570 and 580, so getting one can be a pain in the ass.

It reminds me of what happened with Nintendo but not as bad right?
Lets be honest, Apples creativity died alongside steve jobs.

no shit
Apple simply just isn't cool or unique anymore.
