Hello /g/, so my house got robbed a couple kebabs I think. Among a lot of useful shit they took 2 laptops which we really need to get back. One of the laptops didn't have any tracking software of whatever on it, but it had a lot of pictures and stuff. Can we hack in to that machine to recover any files or at least figure out where it is now? Some legit advice would be great thanks.

"For €2,190 (£2,000/$2,400), the Italian company PrimaLuce will sell you a Nikon D5500 DSLR with a dual-Peltier cooler strapped to the back, called the Nikon D5500a Cooled. In addition to the cooler, the modified camera also switches out the standard low-pass filter in front of the sensor for something that is specially tuned to be more sensitive to astronomical wavelengths of light (specifically H-alpha deep red)."

Should I be worried about open street cabinets affecting my internet? Anyone could just pour water or physically damage the cables inside.

Hi /g/, I don't know if you can console me or something, but I'm absolutely paranoid about internet, big data and surveillance.

Is there any hope for the world in this way? Big companies have everything about ourselves, from searches, facebook, internet history, pokemon go, whatsapp, shopping receipts, taglines... Everything. Most of it is there at the terms of agreement, a lot of it might flow illegally and normal people have no means to tell. Governments and companies are now negotiating with our data. Right now I'll be solving the captcha and help robots improve their recognition of the world and read what's in front of people's cameras.

Some will say this is just so that certain ads appear on my timeline, which in itself is horrible as it creates this bubble more and more suited just for me and I go on thinking I'm out there in the world, or that it is to fight "terrorists" and god knows what could be considered terrorism. But I don't trust it one bit. The bigger a company is or the influence of a certain government is, the more power it will have to get bigger.

My worst fear is that they can cross all that data and actually change the "landscape" of opinions. Say, if they want to increase voters of x candidate, they could run an algorhytm in which they took 100 million fb users and make certain much percent more likely to appear on their timeline things from pages in which there is a higher percentage of voters of x. At first you think of no one change their vote over such a thing, but if out of 100 million, 300 thousand could actually move to the other side, that's something. And the algorhytm will search for its own flaws and improve for the next round... If the next big thing is to wear green-dyed wool sweaters, you could induce people to love it by running subliminal messages into people based on ranks of their fashion influence, from bottom to top. You could speculate and invest in something and then buy people's desire afterwards.

Is there any hope?

I'm looking into building a PC capable of running all current AAA games in not-necessarily-maxed graphical settings, at a smooth frame at 1440p -- though 1080p is acceptable. (not interested in 4k right now)

But the problem is, I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing.

My max budget is $2500 but honestly I think I'll only need to spend ~$1500 to accomplish my goals above. I think a GTX 1070 is more than enough for my needs but feel free to correct me. I don't want (or even need?) a GTX 1080, nor do I think I need to go SLI with two GTX 1070s. I'd be happy with an approx. 500gb SSD (bigger would be lovely but not a necessity) and would like a 2-3TB HDD.

Can anyone here take a few minutes to point out the parts needed to hit my goals? I know it's not great to ask someone to do my work for me but I know absolutely nothing about compatibility of parts, what is necessary for my needs, or almost anything about building a PC for that matter.
