Show me one computer that's better than a macbook.
>inb4 gamerfag computer with no battery life
good for gaming doesn't mean good computer
>inb4 thinkpad
have fun looking like an absolute loser with your plastic brick with a huge battery popping out the back
Why macbook?
>great battery life
>great support for both hardware and software
>great processor
>the software is made for the specific hardware so no driver issues like lincux users
>still has more games than Linux (including godtier blizzard games)
>UNIX certified system
>is not windows
>amazing EFI features, for example the EFI literally scans the ISOs in your filesystem and shows them as a boot option
>crazy fast boot speed even on an HDD
>is based off BSD, which was vastly superior than Linux at the time the development started and Darwin is still superior to the Linux kernel because it hasn't fallen behind like the other BSD kernels because of lack of funding
>most good linux software is compatible
>actually has adobe and MSoffice products if you need them
>OSX comes with a great deal of GOOD QUALITY software
>Xcode is among the best developper tools out there
I agree with all of your points, but le "think pad makes you look like a loser" meme is trash. I got an x220 and it looks sexy desu.
>10 rupees have been deposited in youre account
>tfw maximum comfy

Why say this and then claim genetics is what determines sexuality?
If that's the case then we are not the same inside.
Out of pure curiosity, Have any of you received a letter from your ISP complaining about you torrenting Japanese cartoons?
>>55254832
torrenting sucks
xdcc for life
>>55254832
>tfw brazil
>tfw ISPs literally couldn't give less of a fuck
too bad the connection speed is worse-than-australia tier.
>>55254876
Torrenting is faster then xdcc though.
What is the point in worrying about free software if your CPU is confirmed to have backdoors?
How much telemetry is actually active when you have antibeacon and the correct settings applied?
shut the fuck up. You done goofed
There is no point, it's just to make you feel better.
>>55254814
They have to break public asymmetry to actually track you, however, first they have to know your particular model and serial number of CPU.
Cable Managment Thread
So where does one buy that stuff in bulk ?
I always change things around and it, so straps of velcro help.
>>55254780
I need something like this. My cable management has always been shit.
CURRENT SETUP
CPU - 2500k @ 4.4Ghz
Mobo - MSI Z68
Ram - 16gb Corsair Vengeance 1600mhz
GPU - Nvidia 670
Storage - 120GB SSD+3TB HDD
Monitor 120hz 1080p
Mouse - Grubby old MX518
Keyboard - Cheap crap thing
CONSIDERED UPGRADE
CPU - 5930k
Mobo - ASUS X99A(-A or Deluxe)
Ram - 16gb Crucial Ballistix 2666mhz (overclock to 3000mhz hopefully)
GPU - RX480 (stop gap until higher end cards release)
Storage - 250GB+ M.2, maybe a larger SSD and the 3TB from above
Monitor 144hz 1080p or 1440p
Mouse - Grubby old MX518
Keyboard - Something with backlit keys
Used for some gaming in TF2, Project CARS, eventually a HTC Vive. Some amateur video editing from gopro, some dicking about with VM's.
Any suggestions?
>needing that cpu, mobo
>don't know if the ram you want can overclock to a certain frequency, and not thinking about the ram timings (cas, ras, etc) and only thinking about MUH BIGGER NUMBERS and MUH SPEED
>wasting money on a montor with gimmicks, like it matters if you can run 144hz most games lock at 60fps
>actually typing out grubby old MX518 like it matters
you're a fucking retard. Stop posting on this board.
Upgrade your graphics card. That's all your dumbass needs to do.
>>55254865
Should I install Linux instead of Windows 10 also?
>>55254954
dual boot it
google could not answer this
If my desktop computer does not have wireless capability, then is there any way I can use a wireless mouse and keyboard on this computer?
Saged in all fields for shit bait.
>>55254806
lol not bait
wireless peripherals usually come with a usb device that get the signals from your devices to the computer.
And those peripherals usually operate via bluetooth, not wi-fi as you seem to be thinking
FTP
Anyone still use this to send shit, or does everyone stick to HTTP and Shit like BT now.
If anyone does still use this, what are some interesting FTP sites to check out - whats on it.
I remember FTP sites being kinda big in the 90s with ftp.cdrom.com but i was young then, didn't really give a shit.
Also accepted SFTP\FTPS\SCP\whatever
Is there a reason nobody made a better FTP, one with Searching and Metadata? (i mean at that point they serve a different purpose but w/e)
>>55254751
bump
>>55254751
>If anyone does still use this
>tfw silence is the answer
>>55254751
I use FTP every once in a while, if only to grab source files from a repository. It was never all that popular and it became even less so once the Internet became popular. I've also used it to store and retrieve files on my router, just in case I want to access those files without having to tunnel into my home PC.
As for websites that allow for FTP transfers, they are few and far in between. Most of the time, the sites that do offer FTP transfers only offer it as an after thought (or as a legacy protocol).
Will I get made fun of at college as a 26 year old for having a "tough book"?
I'm going for programming. I can't afford a new one, my grandma bought me this so i wouldn't break it
>>55254690
>26 years old
>Worrying about people making fun of you
Your supposed to transcend that shit by the time you hit your mid 20's. Unless your a NEET loser.
>>55254690
Whack them with it a few times and the laughter will stop.
>>55254690
If I ever saw someone with a ToughBook I'd figure they were a big dollar engineer or contractor. You should play the part to wrangle pussy.
Programming babby here
How is a method different from a function in python?
How is method different from function in any language? Its 2 different names for same thing
I think it like functions exists by itself, and methods are associated with an object/module
But at the end of they day pretty much the same thing.
>>55254685
When you call a method the object instance gets passed as the first argument to the method.
What will happen when he's gone?
We will have no freedom.
>>55254578
Explain.

A less shitty world i'm sure.
>phone total cost lowers
>more room for battery
>selfies look a lot better(whoever still takes them)
i mean like wtf samsung and apple??
>>55254456
I feel like it would be really easy for it to break off
now nsa can spy on you in hd!
Are there any high end phones with no front camera?
What is so inherently great about Linux that makes it better than Windows?
It respects your freedoms 50% of the times and doesn't spy on you.

Yes, I did.
Why are the two best 15" laptop alternatives on the market complete and utter shit?
Because what matters is that it's a lightweight device, capable of smaller tasks, that has good battery life.
No adult cares if their computer can play GAAAAAAAAYmes.
>>55254422
Such as?
>>55254422
>implying xps 15 is shit
