The power button on my laptop stopped working for a few minutes and wouldnt turn on but then it finally did. This has me worried so I am trying to bring all important information ive downloaded to a flash drive for backup but my 2011 pny flash drive just died. 16g was like 30 bucks back then. What is a good flash drive that isnt expensive /g/ recommends to me? Should I wait till black friday?
>>57569991
Nigga flash drives cost fuck all now, sandisk 128gb microsd isĀ£35
>>57570009
I just didnt know if PNY is unrealiable or something. I saw a 64g for 10 bucks and im like wow, the 16g I have was more back then lol
>>57569991
wondering if i should wait till black friday or not

> wat do ?
I was thinking of convincing someone in the building to place some kind of OpenWRT device near their window, and in exchange paying for their whole internet access fees and place another OpenWRT device in front of my window.
What device to use ? What antennas ? Other alternatives ?
A pair of directional antennae should work.

>>57569938
That's kinda overkill, it's 40m.
why exactly you need 100Mb
I have 10Mb is more than enough

So is it true that it's borderline impossible to get malware on Linux?
I mean keyloggers, trojans, adware and, in general, malware like the ones you get on Windows, not obscure privilege escalation exploits that require physical access.

also inb4 that episode in unrealistic.
It's a thought experiment
>>57569827
You'll only get malware if you go and install local packages from shady "free Linux gayems" sites, if they even exist.

No
As long as there are retarded users who will type in administrator password automatically when prompted for it, there will be malware.
GTK or Qt?

>>57569816
God said there should be 640x480 VGA.
>>57569816
well if you're only a user of the software then what do you give half a shit what framework it uses?
if you're writing the software, it's a matter of whether you want a framework written in C (GTK) or C++ (Qt)
>>57569816
The biggest con of qt is too many depedencies/ is too bloated if you use lightweight window manager.

what does that even mean?
The DNS is centralized but you don't need to use it.
Wires are bundled up and pass through large nodes but this doesn't matter with the advent of cryptography.

This. I do this with all of my phones. Hell, if you know how to research your shit you don't even have to wait to see if the phone will get support. Buy from companies that don't have a history of locking down their devices and you're good. Bonus points if it has a Qualcomm chipset.

I use my hard drives in redundant RAID configurations, and I keep backups of the data on those RAID arrays. Worrying about which brand is slightly more reliable is stupid.
I want to start making android apps with java. Is Android studio a good IDE?
>>57569430
Yes. Download the SDK and IDE and do the tutorial with the simulator to get kickstarted.
>>57569442
thanks

No, it's pure garbage but there are no better options.

Shuffling short videos using the OSC is horrible, works fine with keybindings. Is there any way to fix this?
>>57569320
The directshow stack is better: mpc-hc, madvr and assfiltermod!
You can mimic some top features with shitty lua scripts and mpv hooks.
However expect poor performance and glitches.

I thought that was a meme, is it really functional?

STOP PUTTING A SPACE BEFORE THE QUESTION MARK REEEEEEE
I'm working on some metaphorical glue for some Bluemix services so I can do a partnership with IBM. They say the project is fantastic, and have moved forward with requesting a prototype.
