Are these just a meme? I'm planning to buy a T450s for college and am thinking it would be nice to be able to just slide in to connect to ethernet, monitors, and any other peripherals. But pic related, the reviews for all of the docks on Lenovo's site are complete shit. Are these just a waste of time?

No they're not a meme. I order and set up these docking stations for user at work sometimes and I've rarely had an issue with them. They work as intended.

I bought a mini dock series 3 for my t420, pretty comfy.
Then i sold my desktop because it was gathering dust after using my t420 full time, i thought i'd regret selling my desktop but hasn't happened yet.

You'd have to be a retard to pay $200 for a dock. For that price just buy a second Thinkpad

I have an idea for a gadget, which is in the genre of portable iPhone chargers.
The thing is that I don't have and skills in developing such things.
I'm studying medicine, which doesn't really benefit this project in any way.
What kind of person should I reach out to, that should have knowledge in developing such things.
Has anyone been in a similar situation?

if it's actually unique you can patent it and sell the patent, that's what inventors do

Is that wiser than to try to develop it, and finance it through something like kickstarter etc.?

Well; I've spent a few years on C, C++, Python, Ruby, and (unfortunately) Java. I've also done a bit of scheme.

Learn You a Haskell for Great Good says in the prologue that it is aimed for people with "imperative" background.
However don't really take my word for it, I haven't gone too far in the book yet

so last night i was playing battlefield 4 on my PS4, i was in a party with one other guy when i start to hear a very faint like bass beat coming througb my headset. It slowly hot louder and it turned into a full electronic song. up to this point i thought it was my friend in the party until i muted him for a second and left and joined and the music was still playing the whole time. After i joined back again the music got even worse when it got slightly louder and you could hear something that sounded like people talking in an older movie and then eventually screams and other random and confusing sounds. After this i turned my PS4 off and it stopped when i got back on. Can someone please explain to me what could have happened? thanks /g/

I have all these fucking 1080p videos of AKB48 performing live and they all fucking stutter and it's driving me MAD
I've been fucking with all the settings I can find and the best I can get it is like half a minute of smooth video and then a few frames stutter.
Everything but these AKB videos run perfectly so like holy shit what's wrong
Kodi is the only thing that plays em smoothly but it seems to run a slower framerate than MPC or VLC when they're not stuttering so it must be doing some sort of reclocking bullshit
My computer's not too much of a piece of shit even. i3 6100, 32gb ram, gtx 970, win 7.
BTW they're these AKB vids

okay, so I bought the IdeaPad Y700 (because fuck ThinkPads, and fuck MacBooks), but I'm an OS X user (The Y700 is replacing my shitty 2009 - 2010 white unibody MacBook with Yosemite), and I can't bloody stand Windows AT ALL.
I used to use Linux before I got a MacBook, but it's been so long, I've been thrown out of it, I know shit about Linux now. Last time I used Linux, I remember either always using Debian, Fedora or Ubuntu, but all of those distros has seemingly gone to complete shit
So, what's a good Linux distro that's fast and doesn't have a WM that looks like something that was discarded in the 90's, like Gnome, Cinnamon, XFCE (is it still deprecated? What the fuck), etc.
pic related, best version of Ubuntu

I'm a normie and someone recommended me to try mint. As a normie, I liked the experience. Still sticking to windows 7 currently.

Hey /g/, I'm building my first computer and would like to see what you guys think. Any criticism or recommendations are good. I also have some questions: 1.) Would a 550 Watt Power Supply be enough and 2.) The Radeon R9 380 says that it has a power connector of 2 x 6-pin and if I'm understanding this correctly, the Video Card plugs into the motherboard. However, the Motherboard on my list doesn't seem to have any 6-pin connectors. I thought this would make them incompatible yet pcpartpicker is saying there is no issue. Can anyone help me understand this better?

Is this troll ?
You pick an old card when there is from the same tier a new one which costs the same and performs better and draws less energy
I7 for 340 $ but only 220 $ gpu wtf if its
for gaming you failed but i guess you want to use that much cpu power for something else
And yea 550w is way more then enough
100 w cpu + 200 w gpu = wrong psu
And pls take at least bronze plus

This doesn't speak well of Google (from which Niantic was spun off), Google Cloud (on which Ingress and Pokemon Go backend is built), or $180K/yr Google engineers (who built Pokemon Go).

Can a real electrical engineer please explain to me why there's not a safety mechanism that just shuts off the power completely when shit like this goes down?.
