its value is low. there's no demand for a book on design that reflects a design language that hasn't been popular in 20 years.
i'm sorry but bitching about the market is separate from bitching about what's more aesthetically pleasing. you can argue you like how the thinkpad looks, and i'll probably agree up to a point, but the market has clearly spoken. we have a ground truth on what the aggregate prefers, and it's not rubberized black laptops.

IRC: #/tpg/ on irc.rizon.net
Other business laptops are also welcome in /tpg/ (e.g. Dell Latitude/Precision, HP EliteBook/ZBook).
----
If you're looking for purchase advice, READ THE BUYERS GUIDE FIRST. Then post, stating budget and requirements (e.g. size and performance).
Don't buy anything OTHER THAN T, X AND W/P SERIES if you want the Real ThinkPad Experience™
Recommended models:
T420 - 14", normal size
X220 - 12.5", ultraportable
----
Why ThinkPad? (also applies to other business laptops)
>Used machines are plentiful and cheap.
>Excellent keyboards - tactile feel and quiet.
>Great durability: chassis uses a magnesium rollcage for structural integrity, with high quality plastic body panels.
>Utilitarian design: e.g. indicator LEDs, 7 row keyboard layout on older models.
>Docking stations that easily turns your laptop into a desktop.
>Easy to repair, upgrade and maintain thanks to readily available service manuals for every model. Spare parts are easy and cheap to obtain.
>The best trackpoint (that red thing in the middle of the keyboard). Great for those who type a lot or hate swiping their fingers all over a touchpad.
>Excellent GNU/Linux & *BSD support.

Got 3000 euro budget to spend on a phone, laptop combo. I want to go all out GNU/linux. Im looking for atleast 1080p, touchscreen is Nice, but not required. Has to have 4 cores not hyperthreaded, if that's still possible on a laptop. GPU doesn't really matter since I won't be playing games on the thing. Storage capacity doesn't really matter either, I've got servers for that.
Something sleek, stealthy and with a nice keyboard is what I need. Also light is a big plus.

Its pretty trendy to hate PHP nowadays but I really like it because to me it seems incredibly simple to use. What does g think and why do people hate it so much. And what do employers think about PHP skill?

I mostly hate it because the standard library is a clusterfuck of inconsistency. There are also some questionable things about the language itself like the ternary operator.
>>
>>57529001
Use it for anything more than trivial web programming 101 tasks and you'll understand pretty quickly. For instance, it shits on the concept of type systems. You can't take arbitrary user input and expect it to behave in a sensible way.
"name" + "123" = "name123"
That is sensible and what you would expect. Yet
"321" + "123" = "444"
Error handling is retarded. It supports octal syntax like C. Numbers with a 0 in front are octal, so 010 is 8. Yet if you fuck up and write 09 instead of 9, you don't get a syntax error. It just silently drops the invalid 9 and give you 0.
You can catch exceptions to handle errors, but then there's fatal errors which cannot be caught. It just bombs out and there's nothing you can do to handle it gracefully.

What other languages have tools to let you mix the lang with html like php?

I dunno if KolourPaint has masks and layers but in Photoshop the best approach is to use the text as a layer mask, then you can draw over the text and it remains anti-aliased.

>CVE-2016-4484: Cryptsetup Initrd root Shell
>A vulnerability in Cryptsetup, concretely in the scripts that unlock the system partition when the partition is ciphered using LUKS (Linux Unified Key Setup). The disclosure of this vulnerability was presented as part of our talk "Abusing LUKS to Hack the System" in the DeepSec 2016 security conference, Vienna.
>This vulnerability allows to obtain a root initramfs shell on affected systems. The vulnerability is very reliable because it doesn't depend on specific systems or configurations. Attackers can copy, modify or destroy the hard disc as well as set up the network to exflitrate data. This vulnerability is specially serious in environments like libraries, ATMs, airport machines, labs, etc, where the whole boot process is protect (password in BIOS and GRUB) and we only have a keyboard or/and a mouse.
>Note that in cloud environments it is also possible to remotely exploit this vulnerability without having "physical access."

1) Why is the 1440p Acer monitor $800 while the 4k Samsung monitor is only $370?
2) I just ordered a gtx 1060 6gb gpu. Do you think I need a 4k monitor if I probably won't be gaming in 4k?
3) Which Monitors do you recommend? Price/value

I'm full botnet on my phone. I use it for work and reading the news and that's pretty much it. Having Google run its spindly fingers through my emails to pull flight and hotel info for my next trip, remind me of when packages should be delivered, recommend somewhere to eat and tell me how to order when I'm 3000 miles from home, notify me of deadlines etc without having to open a single app is 100% worth it.
