So, there's this kid im related somehow and can't get rid off, i need to "help" him on this and can't say no or GTFO out of him. just don't ask why.

So, the shiturd is 17-18, hasn't finish high school and is a leech of his parents, he's fucking "special", "disabled" and "with unique skills" so he plays guitar all day and does nothing, he stopped going to hs beacuse of hurr bullying and now he's going to a "gifted kids" school to play guitar but only if his dad bought him a 2000USD pc(Radedon r9, 32gb ram, cooling, all razer shits and 3 ssd beacuse some fucktard at computer shop told him to do so).

This dad hired me to assist this kid beacuse according to him "since his old gaming computer died his gaming skills were lost and hes not pro as he used to be".(note he only plays league of legends, doom and halo). his dad ended him buying a brand new one

------------ /g/ warning -------------------------
I am a computer engineer and honestly tried everything.

Pollrate, DPI, Screen fps, in-game settings, even some stupid things some "pro guys" told him to do like, USB overclockling, override windows acceleration by regedit, buy three different "GAYMUR" mouses, inject custom pointer drivers, fuck, EVERYTHING, and no matter what he does, he still says he lost "HIS FEELING".

Shit i even sat on his computer and played every single game fine. and im gamer of birth.


---------/adv/ warning---

So, this dad has been the last 4 weeks inventing excuses, beacuse he doesn't know what to do beacuse the fucking kid gets "mad and anxious" when somebody tell him he sucks, he even broke his bed and window once. i honestly want to tell the kid, JUST GIT GUD FUCK TARD. but that will not help anybody, not even him.

I know the sick needs some special help, but if in the last 10 years they couln't give him any help i doubt they can now. as for me, they keep paying me for going to his room, show and prove him HE'S the wrong one and get paid for it. but i will get eventually tired of inventing excuses when the problem is him, not the computer, not the software, not the games.

but the kid keeps telling me "there's must be something to be done about this", can you guys believe he said "i called you beacuse you're the most tech savvy, and experienced gaming person i know".

So i told him "dude, i did everything, there's nothing to be done, the computer is fine," and he had a fucking meltdown.

So /adv/ & /g/

WHAT FUCKING DO.

What do you think about GNU/Linux Appimages?

>The key idea of the AppImage format is one app = one file
>Every AppImage contains an app and all the files the app needs to run
>In other words, each AppImage has no dependencies other than what is included in the targeted base operating system
>can FINALLY go to download page on a website and download latest version of the software from the developer and it runs flawlessly without needing a dependency for this and that
>no more on download section for Linux it just provides a useless source code with millions of dependencies

So the app has to modify itself while running to save changes or history?

>>57406310
What about snaps?
What about flatpak?
>>
>>57406310
Pros:
1. Can run on jails, somewhat secure (debatable)
2. No dependency hell
3. Development for Linux made easy!

Cons:
1. NO AUTOMATIC UPDATES with package managers
2. Since it's not from a distro repo (which is more secure), chances are, that it has the potential of system vulnerability

May be good for non-free developers

Can anybody recommend a good laptop?
I need one that I can do work on, like word and excel; but also can play some indie games, emulators, or netflix on the side.
Currently looking at one that will go on sale soon; pic related
That price is give or take the price range I am willing to go to. I don't care much for hybrid features but they're a nice bonus.

I only have a desktop right now

How old is your TV?

Most tvs from the past 8 years or so have this ability built in.

>>57405552
I'm in the same boat. Is chromecast good?

>>57405589
I am aware that most tv's have that ability built in however i don't know of any tvs that can playback mkv's. Everything would need to be converted.

Can someone please explain why Google has 4 apps with heavily intersecting functionality?
46 posts and 4 images submitted.
>>
>>57404360
Because none of them became popular and Google wants a popular messaging app so that it can more easily get your data and sell it to advertisers.
>>
Messenger is just texting app is it not?
Hangouts failed mms wise but is semi popular for video calls.
Duo failed.
Allo failed.

Google doesn't introduce anything new that isn't found in any other popular apps like kik or whatsapp.
>>
Because Google is the "throw shit at the wall until it sticks" company.
