Just ordered a brand new PRS-300. How bad did I fuck up for $29?
Hoping to read some plebeian books like It and a Swedish graphic novel called Never Goodnight.

can't comment on that particular device, but i bought a cheap ereader on a whim a few months ago and i'm getting a lot of use out of it, so you probably didn't fuck up! that seems like a good budget choice, except for the low ppi, which might bother you if you tend to hold books close to your face while you read - i know i'm bothered by the low ppi on mine. not sure how good a screen that small would be for comics, either.

Which one did you get, may I ask? I didn't want to spend too much in fear of a new Kindle coming out soon.

I bought myself a Kobo aura on eBay used for 50 bucks. It's great, so far I've read some jack reacher books and the fault in our Stars. It has an SD card so I can easily just import the epub files onto it. How's yours?

Can a pocket Projector replace a TV?
I'm trying to reduce the amount of space I take up in my dorm down to one foot locker and need something for light Twitch/Youtube watching and to play my PS4 on occasion. Obviously I'm not getting anything 4K but I can deal with 1080 or even 720.

I hope you plan on getting blackout curtains and some duct tape otherwise it's going to be washed out to shit.

Why use other disk defragmention software?
There's the one built into windows, then there's like hundreds online that do the same job, or do they? Are they more effective or something?

Previously >>60003331
Welcome to /dcsvg/ where we discuss security vulnerabilities caused by stagnant C/C++ which is preventable by default by modern languages and their compilers.
>ITT
FreeBSD bhyve Lets Local Users on a Guest System Gain Elevated Privileges on the Host System
http://www.securitytracker.com/id/1037400
>Summary
An integer overflow in FreeBSD hypervisor let's virtual machines gain root access to the host system. This means virtual machines cannot be used anymore, thanks to C/C++ being so unsafe
>What caused this
Integer overflow
Languages like Rust or Swift will unconditionally check for overflow, and others like Python 3 and Haskell will avoid overflow entirely by default, via arbitrary precision integers. C/C++ will allow you to release programs with no overflow checks. Thus leading people to suffer from security exploits.

>Languages like Rust or Swift will unconditionally check for overflow
And this is how I know you've never used Rust.
Rust does NOT check for overflow in release builds. If you don't believe me then check it out yourself; oh right, i forgot, you don't even have rustc installed because you're just an angry shitposter who couldn't understand C or Rust because it was too much for your little brain to undersand so you have to stick with something a little easier for you to understand such as Javascript or Python.
On an unrelated note,

>>60028374
Are you pretending to be retarded or is it deliberate? unsafe blocks let's you safely interface with the rest of your programs.
>Rust does NOT check for overflow in release builds
You don't use release build for debugging and testing. Is that your only defense? Sorry you got busted

It's pretty obvious that Nvidia makes the superior product. Why do people deny this? I admit to this freely as an AMD fag.

Vega has been teased for 140 days now (At the AMD New Horizon Event last December 12th)
Even if you have a stupid brand royalty or not you need to agree this is fucking ridiculous.
