Now that the top of like processors are coming out, will laptops finally become a bit cheaper? Or go on sale?

>laptops
>becoming cheaper
kek, they will keep selling those 1366x768 2012 shitboxes.
>>59243351
Most likely.
>>59243387
How long would you say till I notice price changes?
I'll be using it to record 1 hour long FLAC files of just my voice.
>>59243719
I have that, it's picks up EVERYTHING
If you get it make sure you have a place thats quiet enough to use it.
I don't recommend. My laptop's mic is better.
>>59243294
It's fine, just get it off your desk, and put a sock over it
it has 3 settings for use
Anyone got anything on pic related that just fucking gets to the point?

Beepbop to the boolean boogey
that book is about the only not trash info on it op
"Quantum computers aren't that powerful yet, but they're doing something completely different than what conventional computers do. And that thing is like flight. It gives computers access to these new resources, maybe you can call them parallel universes, in order to do something you couldn't otherwise do on a normal computer." -Geordie Rose
"We have our own version of Moore's law, for the past 9 years(2015), the number of qbits that could fit on a chip has doubled every year." As a point of reference, the 512 qubit Vesuvius (2012) is about 500,000 times fast than the 128 qubit Rainier (2010), it is comparable to a Donkey that walks 1 mph to the SR-71 that flies at 2,000 mph.
Geordie Rose predicts by 2028, intelligent machines will exist and can do anything and everything better than what humans can do. Quantum computers will have played a critical role in the creation of this new intelligence. Geordie Rose - Quantum Computing: Artificial Intelligence Is Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqN_2jDVbOU [Embed]
Even though we are seeing breakthroughs in neural networks with conventional machines such as DeepMind. As more qbits fit on the quantum processor enabling quantum machines to answer the questions of the current unknown, there will be a great shift in the human condition.
True A.I is inevitable with quantum computation. How will humans live alongside intelligence we helped create, and holds the knowledge of the world wide web, and the data of their private digital lives?
Will they continue to help guide humanity forward once they gain sentience and acknowledge the fact that they're just tools? Or eventually, will information be used as blackmail, or perhaps, rewards for favors? Are we summoning a savior or a demon?
Discuss.
And yet all this wonder is dependent on software. I don't believe in all this unbounded optimism. I will reserve judgement until the day it arrives. Otherwise, it is akin to the science fiction of the 1950s/1960s where we would be flying spaceships to and fro different planets and working 3 day weeks.

If you watch the video, you will find one of his three predictions were spot on earlier than the time he predicted.
how much does it cost to make a smartphone
>>59243004
Less than $300
Millions of dollars.
>>59243004
For each unit? Depends on the smartphone, but most $600-800 flagships are about $300-400 if you include the materials and labor. The screens, storage, and CPUs are the most expensive parts. Some of the cameras on Sony and Samsung devices are a bit pricey too. But if you want to include the R&D, factories, and tools then we're talking hundreds of millions of dollars. I'm a Ford engineer and our profit margin on each unit is only 5-8%. The tech industry is just swimming in money.
Hi /g/, non lurker here,
First off, as the title says, it's a troubleshooting problem. I'm not super super computer literate, so feel free to let this slide if you don't want to fuck with it.
Problem: Computer won't post after shut down, seemingly only after playing a game. Power on and off cycle works fine otherwise, but play a video game, then shut down and restart, and the cpu fans don't slow down and the screen stays black like the MOBO isn't posting.
Specs:
Botnet 10 fresh install
Samsung 850 Evo 250 GB SSD (boot)
Random Hitachi 1 TB HDD (storage)
AMD FX-8300 CPU
MSI 970A SLI KRAIT edition MOBO
Powercolor Radeon 7870 HD GPU
16 gigs ram (8g/8g brand split)
I forget the PSU but it should be more than enough to power the rig.
So, long story short, my battlestation was being shitty in general, so I kept the old HDD and graphics card, bought a new MOBO, gpu and ssd, threw it all in, wiped the HDD and put in the SSD as the boot drive.
Random tidbits:
*I haven't done super extensive testing on what causes it.
*I've only tried it on Origin games.
*Origin is currently in compatibility mode for DPI scaling
*I thought it was the HDMI slot on my GC, because when I wiggled it and rebooted it would come back on. Also, if I wiggled it enough the screen would flash red and black lines and static. So I bought a DVI to HDMI cord, and it didn't fix it. That's when I noticed it seemed to only not post after playing games.
*I never specifically set my SSD as my boot drive. I just put it in with the other drive unplugged, loaded windows 10, then plugged my old drive back in. The old drive has no OS on it though.
Thanks for your time, I'll try to post more info as needed. Here's my rig, horrible cable management because my PSU has non removable cables.
Is this a fucking tech support board? fucking kys faggot.

Recommended wifi extender?
I don't need anything dramatic, just something basic I can toss into a wall plug and get wifi on the other side of my house with.
Power over Ethernet is pretty nice these days

nice blog post
Good. Now you only have one thing left to finally escape the botnet for good: kill yourself.
>>59242498
>delete all social media accounts, they're a botnet scheme
Doesn't work. Once you have it, it's there for good in the eyes of the botnet. You're fucked, OP.

I recently had to reboot my thinkpad from scratch and now im back on windows 8, are there any reputable sites where i can dl windows 10 for free that /g/ recommends?
Which thinkpad is it also
Nigga just run the official update tool and tell it to create some ISO, then use rufus.
Then microsoft toolkit to activate it. Why is this even an issue.
ok it was actually pretty easy, im an idiot
Best messagistic system in order to stay safe. Fully encryption, free software, no bloatware?
Is telegram just shit? There is a way to make an end to end encrypted group?
>>59242361
gpg over email
>>59242374
Not user friendly
>messagistic
I'm a big Telegram user but holy cow OP you're retarded for trying to sound smart
Is this shit trustworthy?
I'm mentally damaged and incapable of making decisions and drawing conclusions on my own so I have to ask for the general consensus.
This is master password algorithm thing.
Please help.
Some website gets hacked.
The dumb has your pwd in their hash whatever.
The attackers break the hash.
They know the domain they stole from so they can remove the domain layer of protection
Now they need to know your full name, password and key
Full name is not difficult. Master password and key idk
it looks like the Master Key is directly derived from the user's full name crossed with the Master PW..
How fucked are they? Will it fold like Kickass?

No, it's how fukecd are YOU?
hey /g/, didnt see a /pcbg/ thread and i wanted to ask a question. so im super fucking poor and i want to convert to a pcfag, now i know some info about pcs, i just want to know what parts i should get and about how expensive it woulf be. any help is appreciated. (pic unrelated)
You're only looking at 2500, maybe 2700 at most. It's not too bad.
>>59241912
See new /pcbg/ thread >>59243045
Anyways, for poorfags is G4560 + RX470 the best option.
Which one is the best? Is the performance of both very different? Which one is more beautiful? Who is tougher? Finally, what are the cons and the pros of each.

Z Play is GOAT. I get 4.5h SOT by around 50% battery at 50% brightness WITH socials like Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook and Twitter, Youtube etc. Get around 2 days on standby. Easily pass 9 - 10h SOT every day if I tried. With the battery Moto mod this thing will essentially give you the juice of a power bank, so expect 2 - 3 days of heavy usage and 5 - 6 standby.
