Oldfags, what was installing Linux like in the 90s and early 2000s?
You had to compile it from scratch.
>>56625255
You pop in CD and pray to God your hardware compatible, same as now
>>56625428
>>56625428
pretty much this
what do
Wolfenstein 3D, Commander Keen
>>56625196
you're gonna need a CD drive, a 5.25" floppy, and a 3.5: floppy drive
then you need to plug it all in, boot it, install gentoo, and serve a bbs. floppys are for looks and historical completeness.
dream, my friend.
what do you prefer?
Gentoo
>>56625132
>literallyanything-untu
No. It's about Arch Linux. Though... I must admit I have an odd love for Zorin...
>>56625132
Linux Mint Cinnamon :3
I just want to say:
Fuck GNU
Fuck the Free Software Foundation
From now on, Libreboot is going to, wherever possible, live without either of them.
time to fire up them forks!!

Does anyone want to help?

trip only used for this thread, if anyone shows interest even
>>56625045
what does this mean
>>56624800
Reposting because no one in the last thread knew about BNF.
For an assignment I need to explain why an BNF grammar is ambiguous. Only problem is, all BNF is incomprehensible to me. I have read my textbook dozens of times and the Wikipedia article several times, but at no point can I even somewhat comprehend a BNF grammar.
It's not like I just "don't have the mind for it," because I can handle programming in C just fine, it's just that this archaic method confuses the hell out of me.
What makes it even worse is that my professor even admitted to the class that learning it is absolutely worthless because no one anywhere even uses it.
I want to pause then resume a youtube upload. Is there a way to do this?
Is this link related to doing what I want?

I made a huge mistake, I tried to watch Porn on my (android) phone.
I went on some Porn website and it automatically downloaded an apk file, something like xtubeplayer.apk
My phone is set to NOT install apps from unknown sources, but I'm not confident about this because I also recently messed with the developer mode on my phone when I tried making an app.
Anyway, I used file commander to manually delete the file from the download folder, but I'm not sure if it got installed or not.
What do???
What went wrong?
Cpu's needing new sockets every generation
>>56624760
>needing
heh
>>56624742
no competition
Why can't any company make just one of these? Give it mid-tier specs and sell it at a premium to cover the costs of a niche device.
>>56624677
Because that's a mechanical piece of shit
>>56624684
It should last long enough for the standard phone cycle.
>>56624677
Bump! I mean is it that hard to develop a phone keyboard?
I've got about $180-200 to spend on a smartphone. Needs to be unlocked.
What's the best deal right now?
>>56624669
The BlackBerry Priv has been going down in price quickly. I remember I got mine unlocked for ~$400 some like three months ago and now you can find it for ~$340 even.
>>56624700
Cheapest one on Swappa is $285. A little out of my budget unfortunately.
I'm kind of looking at the Oukitel K6000 PRO.
What's the Lenovo T420 of the smartphone world?
>>56624754
Used Note 4, RN3P

Screen is hinged by the flex cables which have extra slack. Neat.
Pretty tidy inside save for the adhesive which must be for waterproofing.

Just imagine how much bigger the battery could be without that tapic gimmick. Apple is finished and bankrupt. I'm talking all out of rupees.
Old thread: >>56619068
What are you working on /g/?
Learning python as my first programming language using this website:
http://www.openbookproject.net/thinkcs/python/english3e/
So far Ive finished chapter 5 and doing fine with excercises.
I have no formal education though, anyone have any tips on things I should avoid? So that I dont end up with bad habits.
>>56624545
yeah, learn scheme instead
>>56624551
Not even MIT bothers with Scheme anymore.
What do you think of the Note 7?
>>56624449
I dont use samsung phones. It is a decision I never regretted.
brilliant phone
shame about the battery
pick up s7 instead or sony and htc
Samsung nuke 7? Shame, I used to love the notes. I've kind of sworn off of Samsung phones as a whole after some of the shenanigans with the note 4. Z3 compact currently.
Assuming the world doesn't explode, what computer science jobs will exist 10 years from now?
>>56624364
iOS app devs writing flappybird 30.0 for the latest generation of mindless zombie consumers.
>>56624364
Literary ONLY computer science jobs will exist 10 years from now. Assuming the world doesn't blow itself up first, most store jobs will be going over to AI, hell MC Donald's is already experimenting. I went to my local AMC theater last week and low and behold, the ticket vendors were replaced with touchscreen ticket buying terminals! Do you know who made those terminals?
>a) A computer scientist
>b) A Ticket Salesman who wanted out of a job
>c) Your mother
>d) Some guy in India
If you guessed A... your wrong! it was probably choice D, a guy in India. but.... That guy in India had enough knowledge to program a dynamic ticket system so i guess you could consider him a... Computer Scientist!
Secondly all manufacturing jobs are already over to computers, and those that aren't, will be soon. Most factory jobs can be automated by code that Karlie Kloss could write.
In conclusion the only thing in 10 years that wont be a computer job is prostituti.... Oh wait no, thats already a computer job. Whoop de fukin do, Sex bots 2026, lets go baby!
>>56624552
how is the world going to function without countries providing basic income?
>be loyal apple fan
>not being a poorfag, preorder most expensive iPhone (silver 256gb 7+)
>still has not shipped
Why is being an Applefan suffering? We still have a camera that sticks out which would have never happened since Jobs would have murdered people for even suggesting it.
>>56624303
Hourly reminder that smartphones are for weebs.
Day of the rope when?
>>56624509
Tomorrow if my iPhone doesn't come in. I don't want to be the only one without a shiny new phone in the office.
Instead of rolling you can just check: https://dpt-roll.github.io/ (Randomly selects a project)
I'm looking for something more substantial than most of the projects on this page though. What's something you could spend a week or two on that would be a good programming challenge?
Hell, if you just have an idea for a program you want made that'll work too. Anything to escape this boredom.
>>56624270
Working on my own project right now (license plate-based messaging app), but rolling anyway because I want a side project for my side project
>>56624302
shit I can one page that in PHP in like 30 minutes, time me faggot
