Intel confirmed for botnet. Unless you use AMD be prepared for a dawn raid.

>Unless you use AMD
Recent AMD chips (anything post-Vishera) have the exact same hardware botnet built-in. There's no escape any more, friend. But that's okay, because you don't have anything to hide... do you?
>>55124989
Only APUs, not non-APU CPUs.
>>55124989
Not even remotely close, you FUD spreading retard.
An ARM TrustZone processor, which is completely disclosed, advertised even, serves legitimate uses that increase system security. It makes browsers safer for online shopping and banking, for users who bring their own laptops to work it protects the business.
Intel hiding a remote kill switch that was kept top secret isn't even in the same realm.
RISC vs CISC
Lets have an civil discussion on which is better for what use case. I recently completed learning 8052 (CISC) assembly and now am learning to AVR (RISC) assembly. I cannot find any advantage RISC has over CISC.
Now my programs are longer, and kinda slower (if not by much)
everything is RISC anyway.
>>55124885
Try learning x86 assembly then you'll appreciate how much simpler ARM is.
>>55124885
Smaller more specific cheaper chips.
Less power hungry then x86 counterparts.
And then you have the specifics on how you can get cheaper IO's on RISC.

Do you guys have any malware I can try and reverse engineer?

Is it possible to get a virus from torrented games?
You fucked up.
If you're using a private tracker you're probably fine. If you're just downloading shit from public trackers and running unsigned .exe's and shit then yea of course you can get a virus.
If you're not sure, try logging into your online bank account.
Hey /g/, if I keep my laptop on an incline due to a laptop cooler, is that bad for the hard drive? Is it fine to leave it on that slight incline when turned off?
Thanks in advance.
>>55124541
Never under any circumstances leave your computer on an incline. This can be detrimental to the operations of the hard drive. I recommend you take the laptop cooler back to where you bought it immediately.
>>55124705
Am I being memed or are you serious? Most laptop coolers are made like that. Come to think of it, I did have a hard drive failure with this laptop a while back...

I'm a Sennhesiserfag through and through, yet I saw the beyerdynamic DT 770 and now I'm conflicted on whether or not I should get the HD 598's or these.
Help /g/, which ones are better?
I have the DT770 Pros 250 ohm version and they're great desu senpai
>>55124194
proud owner of a beyerdynamic dt770 for the last 4years and they are still rocksolid even after my horrible abuse.
>>55124212
>>55124312
Are they better than the Sennies I want, though?
I'm all for brand loyalty but if they're this solid, I'll definitely invest into getting them.
Is there anything better than Clover yet?
inb4 it just werks
It hasn't been updated since it was removed from the Play Store and it still doesn't support Marshmallow storage permissions.
Yes it has you faggot, check F-droid.

When the fuck is the 256GB microsd card samshit promised us gonna get here? It's June already god damnit!
I want my 256GB of microsd storage for chinese cartoons and movies now!
>>55124141
Patience, anon.
Man, these are gonna be fuckton expensive. uhs-3 microsd cards go for like $1/GB. Samsung even said it themselves, $249.99 MSRP. Hope they go down in price significantly on black friday. I really want one.
Are there even any devices that support that much space?

Good job you fucking idiots, now AMD will sell like hot cakes.

Might as well wait for the Ti now.
As an Nivida fanboy this pisses me off, they look like fucking idiots.
My g500 of 6 years is finally starting to die, it keeps cutting out for a second randomly. Is it time for a new mouse?
I don't know anything about what's good these days.
stuff I need
>scroll wheel click/infinite
>DPI setting
>1 or 2 programmable buttons
>heavier weight
>price
I don't really care about gaming branded stuff
What is a good mouse?
Buy a deathadder with doubleclick problems from an idiot that has no idea how to do basic repairs and troubleahooting, and just solder a new button and there you have it.
Check the wire before throwing it away. Damaged wires are piss-easy to fix.
If you can stand how it looks, then get the G502.
The shape is perfect for my fingers at the very least, and the extra buttons are the right size on the right location.
Why does it seem that some of the most clueless people today with technology tend to be cs majors? I see them have more issues with hardware and software than even normal people.
Nice thread OP, Apple posting yields more (you)s though. Be efficient.

Daily reminder that CS is not a degree in IT administration, computers or computer technology. I do not expect any CS graduate to have any kind of IT skills. What I do expect them to have is mathematical skills and abstract logic solving skills
