Yo, I want to build a badass PC for gaming and just for personal usage but...I have no money and I don't know too much about computers. I ended up watching this-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqCYwd7ihlQ
And I was fucking utterly confused yet $500 is $500 to build something that I'm hope I'm happy with. Help please on helping me plan to build something good?

Be sure to install Gentoo
Hahahahhaa, see what I did there guys? I`m le epic oldfag /g/ poster

So some advice would be greatly appreciated, I have no desire to design or be involved with gaming other than playing myself.
I also want to learn to hack and about hacking in general.
I know there is countless advice as to what language to start with, but advice on that would be great.
I don't expect to be some wiz working for google or whatever.
I am realitvily bright, at least in regards to other things i've studied and taught myself.. and slightly obsesive
I guess I just missed the boat on being into it when I was really young..
I intend to study a BA in information technology
Cheers bros
bump for interest
You seem innocent enough, I'll respond.
Install a linux distro, preferably ubuntu, either in a virtual machine or on a spare laptop and mess around with it. I'm currently pursuing a BA in an IT field, and that's how I got started. Ended up using linux in my daily life and learning a shit ton.
You won't "learn to hack" for a very, very long time. That's like wanting to start learning music by composing a symphony.

So you want to learn programming?
Pick a starting language. For beginners, there are generally two recommended "programming families" that you can choose to start learning:
-Dynamically typed/interpreted programming languages, such as: Python, Perl, Ruby
-Statically typed/compiled programming languages, such as: C, C++, C#
These are amongst the most popular languages in use worldwide, including 4 from the top 5. Both approaches are perfectly fine, and well-documented.
-Dynamically typed programming may be a bit more flexible, convenient, and forgiving. It is more popular in academia.
-Statically typed programming is a bit more suited for making general applications. It is more popular in industries.
Cannot decide? Flip a coin.
If you choose statically typed/compiled programming, you may want to start with C, then pick up C++. C is very well documented, and teaches many universal programming concepts. C++ is based on C, and adds new concepts. Sources:
For C:
The C Programming Language (K&R)
C Primer Plus (Prata)

For C++:

http://www.cprogramming.com/tutorial/c++-tutorial.html

https://isocpp.org/faq
If you choose dynamically typed/interpreted programming, you may want to start with Python. It is very easy to pick up. Here are some good sources:

>BUT I WANNA START WITH [language x] INSTEAD!
Sure, if you like. But the languages above are considered good for beginners.
>BUT I WANNA MAKE A COOL WEBSITE!
Learn HTML, CSS, and Javascript.
>BUT I WANNA MAKE iPHONE GAMES!
Learn Objective C and/or Swift.
>BUT I WANNA MAKE ANDROID GAMES!
Learn Java.
>BUT I WANNA MAKE PC GAMES!
Learn patience.

I want a 3:2 laptop that isn't a faggot / nigger tier chromebook. Are there any out there worth purchasing for $800-1200?
The Surface is a 3:2 for what it's worth. Also with the Pro version of it that doesn't include a keyboard you can plug your own in without looking like too much of a faggot if you're into that sort of meme.
go post in stupid questions you dumb faggot/nigger OP
Will 3:2 start catching on more?
A bit perplexed her fellas. My computer has been shutting off while playing cs go lately. Figured the shit old thermaltake tr2 600w was kill. So i buy this supernova p2 and drop it in and now i am getting a big fps drop every 2 seconds. Any chance it's an issue with my new psu? I am running what was a overclocked a 50 dollar mobo with an amd fx chip for 2 years and recently reverted it to stock because the shut off. I dont know if its mobo or cpu dying but it was running smooth before the nee psu.
>>59026724
>thermaltake
Found your problem.
Unless your video driver crashes, or you loose your display device, I doubt its a PSU issue.
Run memtest
make sure all fans are working, nothing overheating, no excess dust
monitor temps while gaming. use speccy
>Any chance it's an issue with my new psu?
Probably not. Run MSI afterburner in the background and monitor GPU and CPU usage, temperature and clocks while playing games.
Do all the other shit first like updating your drivers, removing overclock on GPU, etc.
>>59026846
I have completely reinstalled my nvidia drivers twice and reinstalled. Reseated my video card and pulled my c-mos and completely hard reset my mobo. reseated my mobo and cpu connection. and my temps are fine. My gtx 970 is hardly utilized. It's so weird, I get the skip every second or two, but otherwise the fps is fine. It's like it gets hung on something periodically. Outside of any game it is running normally.
And just like that, we now live in the cyberpunk.
>>59026723
Let me know when it is illegal to hack things anon. Also I want a cyber-ninja waifu like Molly from Neuromancer.
>>59026736
It's already illegal to hack things anon.

Make a tech wish /g/!
I wish everyone that isn't using Windows as their main OS will die in their sleep tonight.
P.S. If you post a variation of this wish then your mother will die in her sleep tonight.

I Want to start a project that would lead to me learning a lot. Right now I'm torn between trying to make a game engine or trying to Make an emulator. Which one should I put my time into?
I'm Interested in both so for instance if you know a good resource for learning how to make an Emulator please share.
>>59025758
You should put your time into another mans ass
With an emulator, you'd be able draw on donations if it's any good.

CHIP-8 for beginners
I just found an Apple IIe at a recycling center. It appears to work fine, it boots up to a screen that says "APPLE ][". I don't have any software to use with it, so that's the extent of my testing, however.
What should I do with it? How can I get software running on this thing? Is there anything fun to do with it?
install gentoo
Sell it to some hipster
There are several people right now offering to sell them as "vintage" or "collectors items" for over $500. One guy is offering to sell one for $2,495.
Take good care of it. It will be a museum piece some day.

The last time this happened I reinstalled windows, is this bullshit caused by one of the recent windows updates? or did I just get a bad ISO?

Sound more of a dice failure than a windows error.

C & C++ considered harmful. Use Ruby instead.
>>59025257
Or C & C++ have higher developer standards and projects where a shit codebase will impact more users
