Have you ever had trouble using your computer in a public circumstance? What happened?
I've used my rice for presenting projects the last two semesters.
I only had trouble with the first time I did it in an art history class.

What's the best laptop I can get for around $200? I need one for school.
Be more specific OP.
What i recomend you is to avoid HP at all cost.
Not op, but jumping off his thread, is the HP 14 laptop with AMD E2-7110 any good? Also looking for a new basic laptop for around $200, something to be used for web browsing, email, youtube and maybe netflix. Ideally, the less manufacturer bloatware, the better. Storage isn't a huge issue, but I'm not too familiar with low end cpus.

Need to run some basic engineering software for school. Prefer Windows. A decent battery would be good.
Upgradable RAM necessary
I use Facebook because it's part of my work now. I'm a video producer and a lot of my clients have found me on FB. My profile barely has anything personal about me, but I do use it a lot to chat with my friends.
I've been avoiding FB app and Messenger ever since they came out due to the rumors that they use the mic to analyse what goes on to target ads at users, and other privacy reasons. But I've been thinking... I already have Whatsapp and Skype on my phone, and the phone isn't unlocked (S7), so it's not like I'm really having a high-privacy digital life.
My question is, am I being overly paranoid for not using FB app and messenger? I generally hate FB's business practices, but I have to admit, it will be convenient to use their apps.
Care to share your thoughts /g/?
You use Android so like it matter anyway
>>60539793
The botnet is already miles up your ass
Rip your privacy, it was gone right when you downloaded Whatsapp or Skype

Making an HTPC and I need a good wireless mouse/keyboard combo
Thinking about something like this
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06ZXXRV1M/
>>60539384
the trackpad is shit on that unit, but the buttons are nice enough.
>>60539384
There are many variations of this in the market. I have a similar one for my Kodi box. It was only $14 and works well for navigating and searching, but it kinda sucks in that the wireless functionality is somewhat sketchy... it kinda needs a line-of-sight with the receiver dongle to work well. My problem might be an anomaly though, as other anons have reported good things about them.
I just found out today about gyroscopic mice where the cursor goes wherever you point on the screen. Get one of those instead. Some come with keyboards on the back.
Did I fuck up something? Can I get a better config for that price? Total noob when it comes to building my own shit and under 800 budget. Pic related is 780.
>living in europe
So how do you deal with all those muslims shitting up your country? Do you just sit there and take it like some huge cuck?
>>60539291
Probably a burger with his 62% white nation talking about the 95% white on average western European nations? Or are you talking about the 99% white eastern European nations? Turn off Fox News and go back to /pol/.

If requesting purchasing advice, please provide your country and what carrier you will be using it with, along with wanted features, budget and size.

if this is legit and not some prototype, vega must be pretty good and nvidia is sweating bullets
>>60538699
looks like a shitty build from /g/
>>60538791
Yeah prototype builds usually look like cobbled together junk on a testbed, not buying this one desu.
>>60538699
volta titan is the only one with HBM2 because all the others have DDR6
Even if Vega is good.
Its going to get interesting, very interesting in the future.
Is there an android RSS reader with notifications that doesn't absolutely rape my battery? Tried feedly but it's an absolute abortion. Overworked resource hungry garbage. I just want a simple application that gives me drawer notifications that take me to the URL provided in the feed. Who would have thought that could be so difficult?
>>60538431
>Android anything
>Doesn't rape battery
Pick one anon
>>60538431
The tinytiny RSS android app doesn't pull info from your server until you open the app so it's reasonably easy on the battery.
>>60538441
I've trimmed my android down so it lasts 3.5 days standby. I'd say that's pretty good.
Just got a job
I need to learn Javascript and ActionScript in a month
Help? I need materials
>Can't use google at all
Off to a good start
I highly recommend this book:
JavaScript & JQuery: Interactive Front-end Web Development.
(You will need some knowledge of HTML but that's all you need to know before reading. If you don't know HTML, there is another (short) book by the same guy that will teach you all you need to know.)
I read it and learned javascript to a pretty high standard in a week or two. (You will probably be even faster if you have experience any programming).
>>60538378
>Javascript
http://eloquentjavascript.net/
That's a pretty good start. And it's free.
>Actionscript
I don't mess with the dead.
anyone know how to hack instagram accounts, wanted to hack my schools instagram but not entirely sure how past the million different "password hacks"
>>60538376

Okay so Ive learned Python, JavaScript, And PHP. What should I learn next? I was thinking about Ruby or Java.. Does anyone have a suggestion and why?
Have you tried C
scheme or C. They are languages used by the GNU project.
>>60538227
>What should I learn next?
How to use programs that you make to solve real world problems. Barring that, I suppose you could waste time learning more syntax.
