Not tech support. Google the fucking model number and if you're lucky there's a video of some clown disassembling it with a shaky cam view at 240p

I sold my buddy a radeon 7770 for like 50 bucks and hes having a hard time finding the drivers for it. What does he need to get those drivers ?

The most recent AMD crimson drivers work just fine for the 7770. Go to AMD's website and they should be right there.

Learn to read you fucking mongoloid. You'll still be able to avoid "reccomended" updates all you want.
>>
>>56111016
Except some of the recommended updates were worth installing, and some were not. With this new approach you either install all or none.

>>56111029
They were always stupid shit like "fixes time zone/character issue for neo-zimbabwean locale". Willing to bet you can still extract and install individual patches if you're determined enough.

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.

if you cannot partition and install grub manually on a uefi system, ubuntu is for you.

Seriously, keep playing with Ubuntu until you get it.

I'm in 12th grade now, Is it too late to start learning programming?
I know basic stuff in Pascal, pointers, arrays etc.
The most advanced shit I made was a console Pong and a Snake in Pascal and some basic code like this: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/b0321058ea41b845e838a38dd84f30f7
Should I start learning C# or what?

If you want to learn, you'll get somewhere. Can't say how good you'll do, but while being young helps, having determination and drive helps a lot fucking more.

Funny meme. I mean I participated in some programming competitions and there where many autist 6th a 7th graders who were better than me and every other attending classmate of mine (our teacher now is complete shit btw, because previous one got cancer). I just can't imagine what the actual fuck are they doing all day.

What the fuck do you do with all your flash drives, /g/?
I have around a dozen of them but I'm only using four. Now some guy is closing down his office and offered to give me a bunch more.

It's a good way to introduce someone to programming, if they're afraid of it or have a pre-conceived notion that it's hard.

Just another failed attempt to make programming accessible to demographics that want nothing to do with it

You wake up and find yourself in the body of Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, the CEO of Nokia, The date is June 23, 2010 - one day before the introduction of the iPhone 4.
Your goal is to save Nokia from its ultimate downfall.
You notice a recommendation of the board to invite a veteran in the industry called Stephen Elop, What do you do?
