You might be able to run some emulators. Maybe. Probably not.
Also what's the the fucking garbage HDDs?

My mini PC has better stats than this shit.

I don't really understand it, but when I use it I feel like I'm talking to god
>>55989134
Not too interested.
It's basically just LISP again, and again with very little uptake.
I just finished reading through Clojure for the Brave and True and am excited to start using Clojure in personal projects. Seems like a practical functional language with modern design sensibilities.
However, I am somewhat concerned about its unpopularity. There don't seem to be too many libraries for it (although it has most of the common stuff covered, and with java interop what do you really need?), and most of the blog posts I can find are from years ago.
Still, I have high hopes. I think it's a strong language, it has its passionate users, and Rich Hickey is great. Maybe few use it just because it's functional. And because you kind of need familiarity with Java to use it.
Why are tpw laptops getting shilled all of a sudden?

I have a gut feeling some /g/ayman is just trolling us
le government secrets meme
even if you had the super secret magic chip that decrypts government secrets, you probably don't have access to the files to decrypt them
unless you are
wait for it
a foreign government looking to harm the united states who may have forced their way into government systems
i wonder why this is getting so much attention recently

Cut out the middleman and enjoy the fruits of (daddy's) success from day 1.
>>55989489
But I want the illusion of achievement at least.
So my ISP gave me a warning about copyright infringement. How paranoid should I be from now on?
Install Gentoo
>>55989011
no worries. about all they can do is cut your service. i'm betting they're not the only ISP in town.
>>55989011
oops. you're screwed now. they are gonna be watching your connection like a hawk.
What is /g/'s preferred choice when downloading videos from a website like Vimeo?
>>55989004
bump
Youtube-dl might work with it.
>>55989264
youtube-dl works with gorillions of things, I've never tried vimeo, but I'd wager it works, assuming a recent version
So i've got to the point where my desktop looks almost as crowded as the one from the pic.
But everything in it seems useful and is easy to access, my desktop is just a folder i barely see it as a desktop.
what do ? (but i don't have the time to install gentoo right now, maybe next time)
At least it's not to the point where the icons pukes on my second monitor.
>>55988913
just organize them you lazy fuck
>>55988913
Are you retarded? You start grouping icons into folders. You add two clicks to the opening of documents. I say this while also looking down on you for having icons on your desktop.
>>55988913
CLEAN THIS UP NOW YOU PIECE OF TRASH
God you make me puke, don't you EVER post on this website again, you got that?
Please, please, try to be honnest. You're anonymous so it shouldn't matter.
Is it possible to make Windows as "safe" as Linux (probably not, I'm almost a normalfag when it comes to computers but I don't see people working in serious/important fields using Windows rather than Linux in general)?
If not, is it possible to have at least a decent, safe work environment with the latest Windows version?
Like, if you were forced to install Windows 10, what would you do to make it safe?
PS : Sorry for my bad english, also I'm drunk, but the situation is, I tried Linux distros for some time and couldn't get them to work them as easy as Windows, also most Linux work environments weren't very stable ad I got many crashes.
tl;dr, please don't judge and try to think like your only option is Windows. (Unless I'm missing a fourth option outside of Win/Linux/Mac)
>>55988903
Whats "safe" precious
>>55988903
>is it possible to have at least a decent, safe work environment with the latest Windows version?
No. Windows is a giant security risk and a fundamentally flawed OS. It is only used by novice computer users, gamers, or autistic power users who are incapable of moving on from the first operating system they learned how to use as a child.
>please don't judge and try to think like your only option is Windows
Kek. Install linux, or buy a mac if you suck at pooter. There is no genuine excuse for using windows, other than vidya.
>>55988919
idk you tell me..."Linux" is supposed to have a few advantages over Windows and one of them is this "safe" aura. (better security? less prone to be hacked or targeted in general since it's not as popular as Windows?)
What are some cool tech related tv shows/series?
I've watched Mr Robot, Silicon Valley and Halt and catch fire
My favourite one is Halt and catch fire
I actually watched that show for a while. Gordon is sexy in a neckbeard way
i fucking love it. i wish there was more than 2 seasons. i was so.mad when i finished it and realized it was actually over: (
>>55989120
none of the mentioned shows are over,
season 3 of halt and catch fire airs this month.
i was kinda surprised it got a 3rd season as season 2 was a little less focused than season 1. i fully prepared myself for that to be the end of the show. everything from here out is bonus as far as im concerned.
How come you haven't bought it yet, /o/?

Where should I go and what should I read in order to learn about computer science? I need to start at how a computer works. What are the best sources?
>>55988599
Help an autist out
Read a fucking book, nigger
Failing that take a CS course from an online site like EDX
>Learn to program(Java: Learn to program - Deitel & Deitel)
>Read a book on computer architecture (Tanembaum's "Structured computer organization")
>same for operating system (Tanembaum's "Operating systems")
>profit
The best part about using physical media or hooking something up is almost always the actual connection. Post the most satisfying plugs, cartridges, connectors, anything you've used. And why not the worst while you're at it.

1/4" TRS connectors have a nice solid sound to them
Fuck these things
Hey /g/, I just bought a uv-b5. According to the spec sheet it can output on 2 watts on low power. I know it is illegal to transmit on anything but the amateur bands, but I was wondering if the fcc could find out if I transmiting on MURS channels while on 2 watts. I can't see how the FCC would find out.
Reported to the fcc lol
Going to play it safe and report OP

Do you know how dangerous it is to mess around with radio illegally? You could down a fucking plane or stop cops from communicating in a life or death situation.
Even if you haven't done anything yet you're a menace and need to be dealt with.
Murs bands are unlicensed with a limit of 2 watts. You're perfectly fine as long as you stay under the limit.

So it's been around a year or so since I've gotten a Samsung Galaxy S5
>Boot up phone
>5 missed calls from random places
>App notifications swarm in, lags phone
>Decide to open Facebook, check those notifications
>Facebook has stopped working
>Fuck it, go to Messenger and check my messages
>Open Messenger
>Application not installed
>Screw those, I'll go over to Google Chrome and read some Wikipedia articles or jack off to some doujins
>Phone lags again
>Keyboard randomly quits out
>Phone freezes
>Phone shuts down by itself
>Mfw
Has anyone experienced similar things?
If so, do the newer Samsung Galaxy phones get this less frequently or not at all?
Mine just werks
