I've had my LG Optimus F7 for almost 4 years now and im still fine with it. I don't understand why people feel that they have to have the latest and greatest tech when their old tech was still good.
>>58950823
Is their really anything else intensive to do on a smart phone?
I mean games maybe?!?
Could 4:3 ever become more popular in laptops? It's better for web browsing and a few other things, and it's especially useful if the laptop is a convertible that can be used in tablet mode. Is the only reason 16:9 became so dominant muh videos?
One can only hope
>>58950542
Nah, it's a crappy resolution. That's the reason why it's unpopular.
>>58950909

Whats the best tablet for around 300 bucks?
>>58950497
An iPad mini, I guess.
There are no good Android tablets and Google doesn't give a single fuck about the Android tablet ecosystem anymore, so expect it to die a slow death unless someone else steps in and commits to AOSP (No manufacturer will do this you fucking autistic fanboy nerds)
Maybe a Surface Pro if you can find one refurbished.
>>58950497
A chink Windows/Android tablet

Fucking disgusting

this?
In January of last year I was in a car accident, I spent 4 months in hospital, and am still recovering even now. I can walk and move normally now, but not for long periods of time. I will never be able to go back to my old job,which was bricklaying and plastering.
For the last 6 months I've done nothing but sit in front of my PC, refreshing Facebook and 4chan and watching shit on Netflix and Youtube. So I figure I may as well put that to use, and learn something I can do for a living at my PC.
I was thinking of learning C++, I know nothing at all about coding so would need to start from scratch, and would need to do it from home really. Say in a few years I get the hang of it, is it easy to find a job using it?
Also, best way to self teach it? Any good video tutorials that you can recommend?
I'm expecting some dumbass answers, but some serious ones would be appreciated.
Don't bother asking about the accident, it's not what I want to discuss really.
If you want to learn programming C++ probably isn't the most user-friendly starting language.
Also, no matter how good you get all employers want a degree. It might seem stupid, but think about it this way. Most people with degrees are total retards and can't program basic shit even with a CS degree. So, if you show up with no degree they just assume you're even worse than those guys.
Are you in the USA? If your on disability/low-income/social security you'll be able to get into your local community college for free, maybe only pay a few hundred dollars a quarter max. Pell grant as well, which you might be able to pocket every year ($4500 or so). Structured classes that will teach you theory, give you a good math background, introduce different languages to you overtime, etc. You should be able to do it all online as well. Just something to look into if you want something more structured.

I read that it's the best one to learn though, and that learning an easier language first won't help make c++ any easier.
>linux is r-ready for the desktop i swear!!
>y-you should learn how to use a command line anyways!
>linshits will defend this
Linux is for advanced computer users.
>I want to disable integrated webcam# echo "blacklist uvcvideo" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
Not so hard except you come from the walled garden of gooey
>try to use both my iGPU and my dGPU in Windows
>because my motherboard's iGPU is too old, the drivers don't support it any more
>if I install older drivers, they don't support my dGPU
meanwhile in Linux land, there's still support for the very first Ati Radeons, the Intel i810 that was used in Pentium 3 motherboards, and some Voodoo cards.
i fucking hate javascript and it's bazillion frameworks

I feel sorry for anyone having to deal with this shit.
Hey, /g/. Are Computer Science degrees memes, or can you actually get jobs with them?
who told you that you can't get jobs with a CS degree?
>>58949351
Absolute memetics. Memes make money that run the motor of the world.
Meme jobs

is that a real woman=? so beautiful
whjat's her name
Windows is good and there are some good, cheap Windows laptops
iPhone is good
Priorities
Stop liking what I don't like
etc
Me neither. The Apple ecosystem is fucking amazing but, if you just use your iPhone as a phone and Snapchat machine you don't really need continuity.

I just received this for valentines, what can I do with it?
download child porn and por here
This is one of those "lol who gives that for valentines day" threads. Fuck off OP.
>>58948849
Throw it at whoever gave it to you and then kill yourself.

Internet speeds currently are not good enough for 100% transfer to cloud. And what if you are offline? and technically, you still need to load your system up and then load the cloud... so its still an OS.
>>58948426
At least the cloud will run on linux or bsd.
Killed for whom? I still and likely always will require an operating system to complete my work.
seriously it seems that everyone who uses linux wont stop circlejerking about how they use linux and how much better it is than windows.
do you want a medal or something?
>>58948230
Just being hipster in IT, I guess it's somewhat human.
>>58948230
Sharing ideas is natural.
If you know about something better and see someone struggling of course you are going to want to tell them.
seriously it seems that everyone who uses windows wont stop circlejerking about how they use windows and how much better it is than gnu/linux or osx.
do you want a medal or something?
Why would anyone ever use linux if my windows system works perfectly fine? Linux can be found on everything from servers to smartphones to desktop PCs - but what makes it different from Windows, and should I give it a try?
Nothing will work right and there's no software available. That's the only difference. Linux is absolute horse shit.
>>58948198
>my windows system works perfectly
Mine didn't. If you don't want to give it a try don't bother.
>>58948207
100 rupees to your Curry account.
At last
I've finally done it /g/
I'm one of you.
>>58947899
install gentoo
Not with that OS.
mint?
.......no...........not good enough....
So, what do you use your tablet for, anon?
Of course besides jerking off in bed
>>58947603
I watch movies on it
i dont. i got tired of charging it twice a day and let it collect dust.
>>58947603
Jerking off on the couch
