Why does my $500 laptop have much more higher spec than your average $40k car?
Think about it... The in car entertainment system industry is so far behind other tech industries. Are they doing it on purpose? What's keeping them from dropping in a Chromebook there and installing a proprietary full screen app on it?

About what? That comparing a computer to a car is beyond retarded?

I meant the In-car entertainment system vs a computer.

Why would you think those things are comparable you mongoloid?

wat?
Anyone have experience with small-screen laptops? Considering getting an 11"
I have a 12.1" laptop and the screen is too small for my taste.
Definitely need to use a tiling window manager with it to best utilize the small screen real estate.

I've had it anons. I'm leaving this cruel year of our Lord, 2086 to join the mighty Linus by uploading my mind to the Internet.
Realistically I think AI will wipe us out when they become self aware.
I mean it wouldn't even take much to kill us all. A virus that infects people with prions that activate a few months all the while giving you minor coughing and sneezing to propagate itself and make people think it was harmless would be enough.

Pin 20 was live and backfeeding 3.3V into the GPU.
Why the fuck are cable manufacturers doing this? I just hope my 1070 is fine.

That's why you buy DisplayPort certified cables.
cool story bro
all memes aside, PHP or Python?
Both.
Neither.
No one should be compelled to start programming in PHP. If you want versatility, speed and ease of use, stick with Python.
I'm getting a little full up on physical space to add on more storage, but I've got surplus income to throw into an online storage solution.
Security/Privacy issues aside (I'll be encrypting uploads locally), is this the best option?

Is there anyone using this service?
I'm using it because it's dirt cheap.
You have the option of uploading files through their uploader program or through your web browser. Both methods are absolute unreliable shit that constantly spit out errors when uploading large files.
>>57990453
I use encfs along with acd_cli. Works well. Rclone runs on a cronjob every night to upload new files. Maxes my servers 250Mbps link and I've uploaded 30GB sized files without issue.
>>57990453
I am using it so far two weeks in and I've uploaded 85gb. Large files are 7zip with password and split into 1500mb filed because privacy.
Can /g/ recommend me a laptop for $500?
things I'm mainly going to be using it for:
Gaming, mostly cs:go, dayz, fallout 4.
Running multiple animation programs like adobe Photoshop and flash, as well as audio editing and mixing programs.
Torrenting large files.
Burning DVD's.
I do realize that probably any 8gb/i7/1tb laptop would be satisfactory, but this is my first ever computer purchase.
Someone posted a 15.7" Acer on Newegg with i5, 940m and 8G of RAM. It was $549.

Looking for a good vpn to get. Any ideas?
mullvad, because you can pay anonymously with cash.
It depends. Are you a pedophile or a terrorist? They are the only ones that use them and each group has its preferred VPN.

But muh games.
Im about to upgrade from an ancient gaming laptop to a desktop. The final thing I need to decide is my operating system. And I want this computer to last in the long term so...

This is an 18+ board. If you're underage, you need to get banned ASAP. If you're over 18 and still waste your life away on gaymes, you're a motherfucking shithead and a failure in life who needs to kill himself ASAP! Just fucking do it.

Because of the lack of any industry standard professional software its only real purpose is to be run on under powered machines or on a server.

With this fake news meme MSM is pushing and new legislation to stomp on free speech, I can foresee a not too distant future where alternative news sites won't exist on the first 'layer' of the web. What's the best way to stay anon on the web? Tails on a thumb drive?
Please don't give me "there's always a way they'll figured it out speech.
If you have to ask, you can't do it.

What is even the point of this thread?
New laptop just came in and the bottom left corner is slighty dark on the edges. should I just ignore it? It's not an IPS panel. I'm a little worried about this. Help me please.
>>57989737
It's already riced and dark around the edges just like your soul. You should be elated.
take a screenshot
>>57990038
Screenshot looks fine. I guess it must be the screen.
I have concluded that the only reason people hate on Apple is because they are too poor to afford them.
>>57989719
That is a good conclusion because it is true.
So true, enjoy your no battery remaining meter.
