Windows (is it?) does indexing when you are not logged in or something else, check out task scheduler and check indexing settings.

Serious question.
I am not a programmer or anything. I'm a mechanical engineer, but I understand more than enough about computing.
How possible would it be to make a piece of software for Android, that works as a distributed computing network?
Android is the most used mobile OS.
And most if not all phones have internet access.
so why not use that when charging (so your battery doesn't die).
Any thoughts?
Regardless of politics involved and economics. Is the software possible to do?

Get any tv and just dont connect it to the net.

I refuse to add to sales numbers of "smart TVs" regardless of if I use those features or not.
Large monitors are significantly more expensive than similarly sized TVs.

As the title states, I've been trying to teach myself a bit of C++ and I'm unsure which compiler to use. Any recommendations?

What OS are you on? gcc, clang, Visual Studio Express are all good. One of the best things about C++ is that you can write standard programs that don't depend on a particular compiler.

I'm tired of getting fucked by ASUS every month. Which laptop manufacturer has not-shit support ?
Specifically :
- as few custom drivers as possible (the kind that eats 100% CPU for no reason and doesn't get updated for major Windows versions)
- honest support that doesn't make you pay (€75) for fucking nothing when you refuse their repair price and ask to get your computer back

To be fair most people don't need that much bandwidth unless they're running servers or dedicated seedboxes. Other than that 100mbps is already more than enough for the average joe family streaming netflix and shit.
The real problem is how shit wifi routers are. Hopefully 802.11ac routers with 4 80MHz spacial streams become the norm soon.

In the US I have 1gbps currently for $100/month.
I have the availability of 2gbps from another ISP for $149.99/month. But since 2gbps isn't possible without 10gbps NICs, it would be an expensive upgrade for my entire network (~$1000 at least)
I am more than fine with this for now.

I dont know shit about 3d printers but an 3D artist, really looking to buy one.
I heard that some parts overheat or something and that there are good printers which print detailed models, for low price .
So, what are the options ?
