What, in your opinion, is the worst (or "best" I guess) virus ever created? And why?
Nimda was pretty good, I got infected with it after connecting to a LAN party share. Proof that Common Sense 2016 doesn't always work.

I got a virus once that made a red fire truck run across the screen every 10 minute or so.
was funny as fuck.
The great influx of normies in 2007 was the worst web infection ever.

any matlab aficionados here? i'm trying to combinatorially multiply the elements of two arrays and i'm wondering if there's a nice syntax shortcut that'll do it without needing repmat bullshit.a = [1 2 3];
b = [1 2 3 4 5]';
a = repmat(a,5,1);
b = repmat(b,1,3);
c = a .* b;

Hi bros, i want to buy this mechanical keyboard from banggod. They are actualy mechanical? Someone have them?
OP here, link: http://www.banggood.com/MOTOSPEED-Inflictor-CK104-NKRO-RGB-Backlit-Mechanical-Gaming-Keyboard-Outemu-Blue-Switch-p-1047759.html
It's mechanical, but it's using knockoff non-Cherry switches.
I need a laptop for college, I went by the Micocenter close to my house and a guy working there highly recommended this Acer laptop to me, it's not in the pic, but I can get a 12g ram stick put in for just 40 dollars, bringing the price of the laptop, Antivirus, Microsoft Office, and new ram stick to just under $840, the issue is that I've heard a lot of bad shit about Acer, but I'm not too well versed with technology, I don't want to waste almost $1,000 for a piece of shit, is it worth it /g/?
>but I can get a 12g ram stick
No you can't.
go to bed matt.
used laptop off ebay
search the /g/ archives for recommendations bruh
Hello /g/, I have something I'd like to discuss/ask all of you.
I'll just go ahead and spit it right out - is knowledge of programming and coding necessary for a career in IT?
Please mind the difference in wording, I am asking about a career rather than a job.
Will post my personal blog below.
Not at all. There are plenty of successful startup CEOs who cucked gullible autists into being the "technical cofounders" and lived social lives full of wine, women, and dance with investors while said autistic slaved away for 18 hours a day writing code.
I am enrolled in an online Associate's program, some of the classes I have taken so far are Intro to Programming Concepts, Operating Systems, an actual class based around Microsoft Office, and a Networking class.
Well, the harsh reality has hit that I am not adept at programming, and I do not seek to be either. It simply isn't for me, I do not have the mind for it. Do mind I am not downplaying the significance of programmers and code monkeys by any means - again, it simply isn't for me.
Like many people on 4chan I was a kid on /v/ and /b/ who did nothing but play video games. I grew up without worry, thinking my liking for technology (put my own computer together and similar shit) would translate to a job in IT. I am not failing college or anything of that sort, it just has made me realize that this isn't my strong point. I am not a programmer, and thankfully I've realized this now while just at the community college level rather than having invested into a bachelor's at a real school or anything.
What I would like to know now is if there are any alternatives to IT besides database/systems work (networking), programming/coding, and low level tech support.
I am not so foolish as to put myself somewhere where I do not belong. I don't want to be that guy who is incapable of doing his job yet doesn't try to change anything or feel any shame over it. I will not embarrass myself in that way, and of course I am willing to look into other fields.
>tl;dr
baby starts college, realizes he isn't the hot shit he thinks he was. I am not a programmer.
Are there possible paths in IT that do not involve programming, or should I start looking for a different field to study for before I head off to a university?
>>55788295
forgot to put OP into name field
Basically, I don't want to even touch programming. I realize I'm not smart enough to handle it, or rather it isn't where my smarts lie. That is okay with me - everyone is good at something different.
But no joke, I want to know if I should try to salvage what I have already invested my time and tuition into or if I should drop it all together and start something different once I finish this shitty online school from which I've learned very very little. It guess will be good to have gotten my gen eds out of the way.
When I look through my universities degrees available under the school of computing, I saw a Bachelors of Science in Informatics. I read that it is based more on sociology/psychology and how people interact with machines. Is informatics a viable option?
Can you work in the IT field without a lick of programming or code?
This is really important to me, as I'm not just looking for a job, I've had plenty of shitty jobs already. I need something that will sustain me, an actual career mind you. i'm not going to make all these years of college be worthless.
please respond to my personal blog, I am in genuine need of advice and have no competent friends
Floems what is this??? I get the error quite inconsistently too, at least I think
Does anyone else get this?
On top of this there's the bug where threads are being watched and clover is enabled in the background but I don't get the notification unless I manually enter the thread.
On a side note, in the watch list where it updates user comments sometimes it's overwritten with an 'E'
Is anyone aware what this represents?
>>55788154
it means you're banned
just open up your browser and go to 4chan.org/banned then go back to the app lol
>>55788154
It's not an error. It just says you're banned
Hey /g/, I really don't know who else I can turn to
I have an assignment in my C++ class and it seems fairly simple at first, but the second part of it got me a bit lost (pic very related);
How would one go about letting a user put in a conversion factor and then build a table out of first 10 values with the conversion factor provided?
Thank you for your input
>>55788140
OP here, this is what I got so far, it's my first C++ thing I ever did so it's probably retarded
>>55788152
Consider switching majors
Just cin a float for conversion factor then multiply 1-10 by the factor and print it out as a nice pretty table.
>>55788140
A for loop will let you do this in 2 lines of code.
Maybe programming isn't for you?
Holy shit guys, I finally got an SSD and it's so much fucking better than that shitty 5400 RPM HDD that I had, I can't believe I didn't do this sooner.

Hey /g/uys I already tried /wsr/ but they really did not help I'm looking for some earphones that have very high quality of lows and mediums but also that cost between 25-50 dollars.
Thanks for your time and have a nice day.

Working for my degree in CS. What did you do to make money in college /g/? How's the freelancing scene?
That's what I'm also wondering, hope there's good replies.
Do IT work for cash. 9 times outta 10 it's just simple PC up keeping. Plus you can charge up the ass for it
>>55787711
Invest in some knee protection technology.
