dont worry, i wont
My Windows trademark experience:
>time to update drivers
>download latest
>alright, time to disconnect from the internet because I know windows will install old drivers again once I delete them
>uninstall drivers
>asks reboot
>reboot
>it installs the old drivers immidiately even though I'm not connected to the internet
>fuck it we'll do it live
>start new driver installer
>it detects the old drivers
>it uninstalls old drivers and the installs new ones
I feel like a retard
There is no point to uninstall drivers in advance in the year 2017 because the driver installer handles that just fine

Is there any way to unlock a dell bios?

Recomend us some free(like free beer, and free as in freedom) games for GNU/Linux systems.
I'll start:
NetHack
Dwarf Fortress
>>59532069
BallisticNG
100% free & very accurate wipeout (ps1 hovercraft racing game) clone. Developer has all source on his github ready to be compiled in Unity.
>>59532069
Does Battle for Wesnoth run on the Windows Subsystem for Linux, or is it WinAPI only?
>>59532069
>Dwarf Fortress
What?
What does /g/ think of seagate's iron wolf drives? Thinking about getting a few when I build my new server.
>>59531978
I doubt anyone here has one. When you can pick up 5TB's for $110, 10TB for $400 isn't a very good deal.
>>59532033
2 drives doubles the risk of one failing.
granted, If I raided 5'd them, i would get one 10tb and 2 5tb or whatever is cheapest to make 10tb
they're fine, what else are you going to get?
So, /g/ I bought the tronxy x1 off a chink website and I'm having a couple issues
The z tower callibration is moving the wrong direction
The z tower is making a weird grinding noise and barely moves at 1 rpm

They didn't make this the main version of Windows
Also who cares
>>59531748
They already did the same for US government - so I don't see why they would change for the chinese government.
Why hasn't any browser in the last 25 years ever done this.

Thoughts on Lua? It's pretty goddamn barebones, making it kind of impractical on its own, but lately I've been having a lot of fun tinkering with it. It's really fun to see how much you can do with just hash tables and functions.
I really like it, its small size is a benefit.
index at 1 may not be the norm, but its easy to get used to.
Lua is great, I got into from AwesomeWM and Love2d
>>59531607
Love2d is a lot of fun, and I think the fact that it leaves so many basic features out of its standard libraries is also a bonus, since it means you have a diverse array of options to choose from with the entire community working on libraries to fill the gaps. Writing your own libs is also super fun too.
>>59531595
Loved it as a first language to write mods and keep me interested in coding, don't expect to do anything professional with it
Speccy thread.

what are the point of these threads, again?
Why are all printers shit?
Because they are not? I have Xerox Phaser 3117, bought in late 00's. Seen me through 5 years of college, printed thousands of pages, still works perfectly. It's just a little noisy.
>>59531523
So you can buy more ink printer bitch.
If you can find them, Canon MF4770n's are the shit.
Got mine for $99 just after they went out of production.
>It’s easier for our software to compete with Linux when there’s piracy than when there’s not.
What did he mean by this?
>>59531432
he means that its easier for non-free software to achieve a high market share if there is piracy
>>59531432
> I prefer to hire lazy people rather than hardworking people.
What did he mean by that?
>>59531432
If you 100% had to pay for all the software you use on Windows, ie piracy wasn't possible, then Linux would look a lot more attractive, since you can do many things for free on Linux that you would need to pay to do on Windows.
Okay, /g/entelmen, I'm tired of fizzbuzz.
In this thread, I am interested in other programming problems that are similar to fizzbuzz that:
1: are simple to describe,
2: don't take long to write the code for,
3: would be appropriate to ask during an interview,
4: are good at distinguishing talented coders from untalented ones.
Given the three sides of a triangle (a, b, c), write out if the triangle is equilateral, isosceles, scalene, or impossible. Also indicate if it's a right triangle.
given an array of integers, write a function that prints "up" if the integers are in ascending order, "down" if they're in descending order, or "neither" if neither is true
Find the prime numbers between 1 and 100 using the sieve method.
Someone give me the quick rundown on zen is the 1700 worth it? Im about to purchase it
>>59531340
define 'it'
>>59531360
Well I could get a 7700k does it depend on the workload? Or is that not a big deal
>>59531340
No. It have only 250 FPS in CS:GO, while Intel have 270.
What's the oldest computer you own? Do you still use it? Why haven't you got rid of it yet?

Love it
The same reason boomers keep rustbuckets as lawn ornaments. they're scared much deeper beyond death of change and want to forever live in a time which they hadn't yet failed
