>why aren't you building a Hackintosh
I'm already using an iMac.
>>59965257
I forgive you.
But how can you live on a mobile GPU from AyyyyMD?
>>59965264
I don't gayme or anything, only reason I'm building a new computer is that it can't handle Blu-ray remuxes. Once it's not my main machine I'm going to see how upgrading it to a Core2 Quad and an 8800GS goes.
How cutting edge are you?
why would you use canary? are you actively reporting bugs, or do you just not do anything in your browser that would matter if it crashed?
>>59965209
Same question.
Why would you use pre-build nonstable version of software, if not for testing?
There are no killer features in there to be found, 99% of the time , just an endless stream of minor bugs.

Hello, yes.
>>59965090
nice blog
>>59965090
What distro are you using currently?
Go
>>59964988sudo rm /* -rf --no-preserve-root
>>59965046
Fuck you, my computer won't turn on any more??
>>59965046
I don't think that works in grub.
Hi /g/,
I just started with learning C#, it's my second programming language (Python is my first). Is it a good second language? Also, is it a good language in comparison with C and C++?
>>59964940
Good stuff. I went python, then java but C# is pretty good too. After that type of language you can start to look for a language that suits your needs. These days I'm on C++ doing opengl projects.
Good luck anon
It's OK, I guess.
It's not too much like C or C++, those languages are much more low level, it has more in common with Java.
C# is relatively safe so it's good for general application development where performance isn't totally critical.
All the C's are great
How would you sell Gnu/Linux to normies?
I've been trying to do this lately but they don't seem to give much of a hoot about the primary selling points.
It doesn't spy on you, unlike Windows.
Their response: "So? Everyone spies on everyone these days it's impossible to maintain privacy and I don't care if the nsa knows what porn I watch"
It is free and opensource.
their response: "Who cares Windows came with my laptop it's free too"
It is more customizable
Their response: "I don't want to learn all this new hard stuff!"
It is more secure
Their response: "but I use [antivirus software]!"
How do I retort?

too late anon, she's too far gone. start with red pills in politics
>>59964928
>it's impossible to maintain privacy
Well, it's true unless you go full-autismo like rms.
>>59964928
there are only two ways to sell anything.
make it trendy (or cool/new/fun/other popular culture buzzwords.
see macbooks or alienware. both more expensive than they should be and both are popular.
or
make it cheap.
see chromebooks and (android) cellphones. both are varying levels of cheap. the ones that arent tend to fall in to the above category instead.
chromeOS and android are both linux. so you can see it already works.
What are they learning here?

Who here has or has had a Nexus 5x?
I've had one for about a year and a half and I'm starting to get fairly concerned about it bootlooping. Is the issue really that common or is it just a very vocal minority? I honestly love this phone and don't know what I'd replace it with.
I've had one since launch and haven't had any problems with it
Have it for 7 months but thanks to reddit I'm positive it will bootloop eventually
>>59965026
This pretty much. I've been led to believe every 5x will bootloop after a certain amount of time.
Do the fuckers behind this think they're doing a good thing? Normies, and pretty much everyone else, Will just go to different sites that don't have this shit installed.
Sites that are suffering from adblocking are not going to have their problems magically fixed with this.
They lost when they made ads obnoxious
All those site can go and get fucked
I have never disabled my ad blocker because a website asked me and I never will
I don't give a shit.
If advertisers want a war I'll fucking give them one.
marketers can get fucked, scummiest people on the planet.
What happened?
The 280X is basically a rebranded 7970 which came out in 2011, right?
And the 770 is a new GPU from 2013?
So why is the 770 so shit?
Now you know why nv 780 never been on benchmark anymore, amd 280 already beat it.
how can we sell new gpus if goyim sticks with the old gpus?
>>59964642
I'm so happy these days that I dropped 770 for 390.
Why haven't you bought a dbrand skin yet?
I'm not gay
>>59964579
because slickwraps is better

Im an educator at a junior college and need a laptop or tablet that I can ink in on a word doc so that my students do not have to pay for the school printer. They are poor. It is a junior college.
Anyways... Being a teacher, I make barely enough to buy toilet paper, so im on a limited budget. I got about 700 to 900 bucks to spend. The problem I am having is knowing what is worth the money. I looked at Apple Ipads, HP, Asus, Acer, Dell, Microsoft, and something called a Bangin Olufson (spelling?). I am confused as to what will produce a clean line with a stylus. I am not tech savy.
I know that:
PCIe SSD is theoretically 4x faster than SATA.
802.11ac dual channel wifi is good.
1080p res is pretty much a min.
8gig memory is also a min requirement.
And, that a thunder port might be useful.
Oh and 7th generation intel is the latest.
Can someone help me with advice on a good tablet? Will I get these specs under $900?
>>59964529
2-in-1 + i7 + 8GB + PCIE SSD = over 1k. I don't really understand your requirements
> need tablet so I can ink in on a word doc so students don't need to pay for school printer
come again
>>59964589
Im looking to make grammar corrections to a word file.
>>59964593
Why the actual fuck does anyone use anything but macbuntu it's so objectively aesthetic it's not even fair how it has the functionality of Linux, support of the Ubuntu community, and the looks of the OS that people pay 200% price hikes for
what kind of launcher is that? how good does it work?
>>59964421

Why the fuck do we let HR retards conduct interviews for tech positions?
>used to be a sysadmin for a startup that ran a popular file hosting service
>people uploaded tonnes of porn, anime, and far-right memes onto it
>we eventually ran out of money and shut down
>applied to a job opening at a accounting firm last week
>got called in for an interview on monday
>show up tuesday afternoon, an old HR harpy ushers me in
>interview goes normally for 10 minutes
>I don't think she understands a word of what i'm saying, but whatever
>she brings up the site I used to admin
>says she researched our site and saw some “concerning things”
>she asks me if “stormfront, forward-slash pee ohhh elll forward-slash, aree coontown, areeee european, and the Iron March” rings any bells
>wants to know why we "made pictures for neo-nazis"
>have to tell her people from many different walks of life used our service
>have to explain that I wasn't the one who drew a picture of Breivik shooting children in front of a banner that said "THE END OF MULTICULTURALISM"
>have to explain that I wasn't the one who uploaded it to our servers either
>this goes on for 8 minutes
>she still can't comprehend the idea of a file uploading service
>she thinks if something is on a website it must have been placed there by the site owners
>realize the conversation is going nowhere and we're just talking over each other now
>decide to end the interview early and leave
>she doesn't even question the bizarre technical shit I wrote down on my resume like using Arch Linux servers.
laughed at the image of some stuck up hr bitch saying "coontown"
>>59964267
My lip was fucking quivering when she was reading those website names.
Fuck, I probably had the same facial expression as Breivik when I was holding back my laughter
Hr was a institution created by the jews to employ otherwise unemployable women, in a larger effort to force said women into the workplace, at any means/cost.
Name better.
