Should I cop this or just keep looking for a fake DW? The only problem I have with this watch is the "sinobi" text printed on it is ugly as fuck
Friends mom just game me a very shitty acer.
1.6 Gh, 512 MB memory and I think 10 Gigs of drive space. Came with some crappy proprietary OS that it doesn't even boot into. What distro should I put on it for just fuck all really and to have a mobile project laptop (for my pi)
>>57549965
gentoo
Tried Ubuntu just to see. I get this message
>This kernel requires an x86-64 CPU, but only detected an i686 CPU. Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU.
Looked online and they said enable VT-x/AMD-V but I don't see that option in the BIOS on top of the fact It's an intel cpu
I don't want this to turn into a chore I just want it to work. Ill see if those other distros work, I think it's because it's 32 bit not 64
>>57550095
Install Windows if you can't install Gentoo
I have the opportunity to pick up an R9 290 for $150, should I take it?
get a 1080, poorfag
>>57549829
New, or in good condition? A model with a good HSF? If so, ok.
A 290 has performance that is similar to modern $200 cards, so you are getting a ~$50 discount. But some models of the 290 are known to run hot and loud, so make sure you are getting a good model.

jewtel just launched a 22 core (44 thread) xeon
why are these multicore chips so suitable for server workloads, but desktop apps are still stuck in the 4 core dark ages?
>>57549784
https://www.google.com.au/search?q=why+do+servers+use+so+many+cores&oq=why+do+servers+use+so+many+cores&aqs=chrome..69i57.8782j0j4&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8
>>57549784
Because they can run 11 4 thread apps at the same time.
games are the only popular software on the PC that benefit from massive parallelism
maybe when machine learning takes off many core CPUs will come to PCs, or maybe not
maybe desktop/laptop CPUs will forever stay at <10 cores and will just keep getting more SoC crap integrated into them (gpu, networking, etc)

Come to Dykstra Hall 4th floor lounge if you here
I know you fags here
LITERAL RETARD PARTY!!!
Just curious, how much do you americans pay for your college education?
Because it would seriously suck to be born in a country where not only are you expected to get a degree to work in a skilled trade, but you're expected to take out a multi-decade non-cancellable student loan on the gamble that you'll be able to find employment with your new degree immediately upon graduation.
>>57549827
I go to school with on a grant and scholarships so I don't have to pay.
Did i fuck up buying this keyboard /g/?
Good goy

Hey /g/ so i waited till the last moment to attempt my cs homework and now i have other more important shit from my actual major to do again. Last time i did this i offered /r9k/ 50 bucks or whatever steam game to do it and someone did a good job. Now i figured i would ask you guys since this is kinda your specialty while /r9ks/ is >tfw no gf
ill pay anyone 50 bucks or whatever steam game under 60 dollars. to do my homework. Its just to complete what is probably a simple heap data structure in c++. should be cake for anyone who knows their shit or works with this stuff.
Also i have a spare hard drive that currently has windows 7 installed on it that i wanna hook up to my desktop. If i just plug the thing in and boot up my pc is it gonna fuck up?
>>57549592

I have never programmed in my life but am super competent when it comes to using UNIX systems (aka I do not and will not ever get laid) because I have weaponised autism so I want to jump into programming and want to start with C.
What book or online guide is the best to start with no prior knowledge on programming?
>tl;dr where can I learn C as a beginner so I can do the fizzbuzz meme on /g/
>>57548982
The C Programming Language by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie.
>>57549011
I heard that wasn't suitable for beginners, did you begin with that?
>>57549026
yes
does anyone outside of /g/ use this?
Yeah
>>57548935
My dad does.
>>57548935

Besides becoming a meme master, what is it actually good for? Is it just an all rounder faster than OS's like Windows cause theres less interrupts on the CPU?
>>57548923
Install Yellow Dog.
>>57548923
AUR is pretty great
Nobody on /g/ is ever going to admit it, but Ubuntu is the best GNU/Linux distribution. It just works and is the most supported distribution around.
I've been around the block, giving a bunch of different distros a whirl and Ubuntu is really the most headache-free one you can use.

Just watched the movie "snowden". I am about to go full tin foil in my life. But also I want to work for the NSA cause why the fuck not. The tools they build, use, and have seem amazing in terms of technology and the future.
Things I am doing right now
>delete facebook and every other social media profile I have
>delete windows
>install linux and build it my own.
>Stop using all other botnet programs I have been using.
I have seen the light /g. I believe you all now.
Snowden is a schmuck that got his knickers in a twist over an argument with his boss who put him back into place after multiple outbursts and issues with being a desk jockey and not getting to live his dreams out so he came into work one day to steal files to spite his boss.
>>57548972
Also just wanted to add, NSA has backdoors into all AMD and Intel processors from 2000 and onwards. Make sure to block all IP blocks and only whitelist ones you trust through your router you've flashed with DDWRT or another free alternative.
>>57548972
The problem with snowden was he brought in his morals in his job. Me on the other than I got none, I go with the highest bidder which is the NSA.
>>57548991
My router not compatible with DDRWT, so I am trying to figure out how to mask my data from the router.
The hacker who shut down large parts of the US internet last month was probably a disgruntled gamer, said an expert whose company closely monitored the attack Wednesday.
Dale Drew, chief security officer for Level 3 Communications, which mapped out how the October 21 attack took place, told a Congressional panel that the person had rented time on a botnet - a network of web-connected machines that can be manipulated with malware - to level the attack.
Using a powerful malware known as Mirai, the attacker harnessed some 150,000 "Internet of Things" (IoT) devices such as cameras, lightbulbs and appliances to overwhelm the systems of Dynamic Network Services Inc, or Dyn, which operates a key hub in the internet, according to Drew.
The so-called distributed denial of service attack jammed up traffic routing the Dyn's servers to major websites like Amazon, Twitter and Netflix for hours before the attack could be overwhelmed.
"We believe that in the case of Dyn, the relatively unsophisticated attacker sought to take offline a gaming site with which it had a personal grudge and rented time on the IoT botnet to accomplish this," he said.
Mr Drew did not identify the gaming site but The Wall Street Journal, citing people familiar with the attack, said it was the PlayStation network.
The attack occurred around the very time Julian Assange was being captured from the embassy in London. The attack was to pre-emptively disrupt the dead man's switch from being activated. Assange hasn't been heard from since the embassy had its internet cut -- also, the WikiLeaks staff had all been simultaneously captured and now have some gubmint operative running the WikiLeaks twitter account. This is why they will not or can not verify their identity using their key. The more you know.
>>57549246
no
this is retard level shit from /pol/ that you could only learn from skimming posts and not investigating at all for yourself.
Mirai is pretty cool. Lots of people on hackforums taking peeks at it, apparently the password list is only about 20 lines long... imagine if that was expanded...

Netbook thread?
I need to replace this Lenovo S205.
I would like it to be under 12" display size and able to run Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit or similar stable distro.
So what's a good netbook?
Thinkpad X220 with 9cell battery + Slice with 6cell additional battery for a full 20 hours of solid usage.
>>57549004
Seems pretty nice. I'm confused as to how a lenovo can be so cheap with that kind of hardware...usually they have apple-tier pricing.
>>57549290
Because it's a fucking 2011 laptop.
New Thinkpads usually cost the same if not more than a macbook pro, at least in the last year.
