Does every CPU and motherboard made after 2010 have CIA nigger backdoors?
>>59546184
>implying before 2010 they did not.
try 2005
and doesn't even matter because every OS has, every browser has, every ISP has, every service you use has, your phone has, your router has
>add cia.gov to uBlock filters
Wow, that was hard.
Is 2017 the year of the GNU/Linux desktop?
it's just Linux
>>59546187
the year of linux

hello,
work in this field, I would like to remind users gnu+linux is not a consumer OS! it is used in specialized areas of computing i.e. supercomputers, enterprise, certain areas of software development, networking and storage management (servers).
there are reasons for this which can be loosely categorized by 'externally' and 'internally'. externally, gnu+machines are easier to maintain, cheaper and more reliable. internally, the l-kernel itself responds and is better suited to the tasks I previously mentioned.
notice that these tasks listed are generally not consumer oriented! linux is taking great steps and leaps in trying to penetrate that market but as of today and tomorrow won't be a consumer OS. If you are interested in this type OS, use XNU! It is a consumer friendly.
thank you for reading!!

Should i get an linksys WRT54G v.7 and flash a DD-WRT on it?
>>59546130
I don't know why but this thing says Caterpillar design all over it
>>59546130
>spoonfeed me
If it doesn't have a 5ghz band then you better be hard-lining most of your connections and not relying on it for it as the main wireless access points (which is totally reasonable)
If you are looking for it to be a wireless access point then I would definitely look at AC dual bands with good antennas.
>>59546130
Do it anon. Works like a champ. You're not gonna get MAXX BANDWIDTHZ but it runs great.

I wasn't super surprised to see /pol/ ignoring this because they will ignore everything evil that Republicans do, but why does no one here seem to care about this? This seems like a huge deal to me and literally no one is talking about it. Why?

That's because you're late to the party. I've seen a few threads.

Ubuntu is actually pretty nice once you find compatible hardware.
>RX480 GPUPRO drivers are preinstalled (80% performance)
>Discord works flawlessly
>Spotify works flawlessly
>Chrome works flawlessly
>Steam works good enough (about the same as Windows)
>Unity is comfy
>Faster general performance
>Less ram consumption
>Much easier to fix once you break it
All it needs is office, then I could see normie adopting it.
Ubuntu is objectively the best distro.

My brother updated his ubuntu 2 days ago which broke his nvidia drivers which stopped him from booting. In the end he gave up on ubuntu and uses another meme distro now

solus beats it on all levels though
So you disgusting sweaty neckbeards memed me into buying a JizzPad, a T420 to be exact. During normal use of the trackpoint it fucking snaps to the top right of the screen and somehow clicks, closing whatever window I have open.
What the fuck is going on and why haven't Lenovo ever said anything about this?

Its not just my model either.
/tpg/ get in here and fucking explain. This is annoying as fuck.
it's chinese spyware enforcing the great firewall censorship
>>59545919
>memed me
your own fault for listening to these faggots
Bump for more answers.
This renders the whole machine useless and many people are having this problem, however /tpg/ never has any mentions of it.

dude, you didn't read the article at all, they voted against an earlier protection bill. They need to now introduce another bill to revert the other protections against data sales.

/g/, is internet privacy a thing?
>>59545844
not anymore.
no
all browsing data from every user is fed into a super computer that analyzes the information and sends the suspicions users to the CIA/whatever departments to analyze in detail by humans
so if you do any weird shit on the internet some computer will tell mr bob to check out what you've been masturbating to
>>59545844
Define "privacy".
How do these specs hold up by todays standards? Do you recommend that I upgrade anything? How far will this last me before I'll stutter in games?

Virgin life here.
These specs are not showoff, there's far far better. I'm actually curious about this, and I thought this would be a good board.

What programming language do you guys think will be the most in demand in the future?
If you could start over, what programming language would you specialise yourself ?
Ruby
Holy C
>>59545813
>What programming language do you guys think will be the most in demand in the future?
What future are we talking about?
>If you could start over, what programming language would you specialise yourself ?
I wouldn't. I doubt I'd do anything related to computers.
Why don't you have a 2 in 1 laptop?
>>59545720
Worst of both worlds.

Why do so many threads here start with
>Why don't you have X, /g/?
>Why aren't you using Y, /g/?
>Why aren't you doing Z, /g/?
Are people here fucking sheep or something? Do you all just want to do what the others here are doing? Go deal with your buyers remorse or whatever the fuck and keep it off /g/. Why do you care what other people here are doing?
do you guys do anything (hobbies, habbits, etc) despite the fact that it is made antiquated due to technology?
>>59545718
Talking to other people.
>antiquated due to technology
That phrase makes zero sense
Bikes are technology and they're a hundred years old
>>59545760
walking for instance would be an antiquated form of transportation due to technology. or riding a horse.
are you dumb?
So I know I'm a faggot for using a Mac, but I bought a rMBP 13 about 4 years ago (late-2013) because of the screen, I don't really mind it, but I feel like I could do better.
So my two questions are, about how much could I still my mac for? And what would be a good laptop to buy for the money I get from that?
Some details to narrow down what I'm looking for, I'm a college student in arts major (I know it's stupid, but I'm trying to do architecture later on) so I do photo and video editing, also stuff like indesign, although I can use the school computers in a pinch. I don't do much gaming, but sometimes I play shit like shit like csgo and maybe dark souls. I have a console tho, so again not a huge thing. I know people will recommend a desktop but something portable would be preferred, at least until I have a stable housing situation.
Is it worth it to buy new? I've been looking at thinkpads, but I feel like there's not enough power there.
How is something like pic related?
i didn't read your post
go to eBay and look at sold listings for macbooks
don't buy a gaming laptop you idiot
what is your favourite anime
>how much could I still my mac for?

Because they lack foresight, in particular in anything web related.
For example, remember that walking napoleon complex that created a 3 strike copyright law and got striked on multiple occasions?
republicans in power only care about getting money, and they'll violate as many of their citizens' rights as they can in order to get their bribes.
republican voters are morons.
