Hello, I need a laptop for university and I really dont know which one. Only for studying and maybe CAD. I like Lenovo and Dell but if there are a better laptop, it´s ok.
Thanks you very much
>>55032596
look for used thinkpads on ebay, great specs, performance and battery life and all that for about 300USD, then install gentoo on it
>>55025902
You can get a think pad with a Nvidia Quadro card for pretty damn cheap which is the ideal computer for CAD.
link pls?

The 1080 is the flagship, but was never expected to be the sales leader. That will be the 1070 and 1060.
I bet there will not be over 20,000 GTX 1080s sold across the whole world.
Hey /lit/, I've been programming for about seven years now (not counting two years before that of half assed attempts to learn). I used to love it. I'd look forward to going home and working on my projects. I'd spend weekends writing scripts for Arma so my missions would be cooler. I'd whip up dumb little multiplayer game prototypes my friends and I would play with. I'd add fun things to my IRC bot.
Now, though, after working professionally as a programmer for awhile and trying to make actual polished "products" instead of just dumb pet projects in my free time, it just isn't fun anymore. It just feels like endless polish. I learned Clojure about a year ago and I had a lot of fun making a Clojurescript/NodeJS webapp until I got to a point where all my time would be spent polishing. Now I'm sitting here trying to think of something that would be fun to make and nothing seems like it wouldn't be a chore.
Anyone feel like this? How'd you push through?

Sorry, I don't really go to 4chan anymore and that's the last board I've been to.
Learn a new language. What do you know besides Clojure?
Think of a problem that exists that doesn't currently have a solution, and try to create the solution yourself. First in the languages you know, then in the new one you're learning. This is much easier said than done, but very rewarding. If you truly innovate, you could end up a millionaire.
Polish is gay soul-sucking tedium, you're right about that.

>Learn a new language. What do you know besides Clojure?
C, C++, Java (I'd need to brush up if I did anything with them again, though), Ruby, Python, Clojure, Javascript. I tried learning Haskell but since I learned all about functional programming in Clojure it just felt like a stricter version with worse syntax (I actually love Lisp).
I guess I would like to learn Rust. Last time I tried I gave up because I was p burnt out from my last job and it's pretty tough to crack. You need to deal with the same safety shit as in C/C++, but the compiler won't let you just not do it while you're learning. I actually might try that again.

See, I actually have a few things I'd like to see get made. Nothing revolutionary, but like, I'd like to make a turn based browser game where you can either play in "real time" or basically play by email. I just can't motivate myself to do it because I know it'll just end up turning into polish tedium.
>Polish is gay soul-sucking tedium, you're right about that.
The worst thing is my last jobs have had very demanding employers. They really didn't want any compromises. I'd spend a week working on something before I'd have to say "The technology just isn't there yet". A good example of that was he wanted all the images in an web app to be SVGs that scaled perfectly and could have their color changed dynamically. Spent a week pounding my head against the wall on that before we just said fuck it and just had multiple PNGs for different colors.
In retrospect, I guess I should have realized there was a problem and stopped earlier.
I've used several ones, rssowl for a while, and now have quiterss. For some unknown reason it randomly has serious issues such as deleting itself, and crashing, causing corruption of the feed database file.
(I checked all my antivirus thoroughly and made sure there were exceptions, but it made no difference. And no, it shouldn't be the drive; it's relatively new and no other programs have issues.)
Anyway, any suggestions for free rss software?
It doesn't need to be anything over the top. I actually liked quiterss best for the features it has.
newsbeuter if you want to be cool like the rest of /g/. alternatively you can use a browser extension. I used bamboo for a while and I liked it but it had a few bugs
Opera 12 is the best RSS reader. It's also got the best browser and best mail client built in.

probably should have said I was looking for something for win7
>uTorrent accounts for more than 150 million active users a month, which makes it the most used BitTorrent client by far. Besides, the software also has dedicated community forums with tens of thousands of daily visitors, and more than 388,000 registered members. These forums have just been hacked, exposing the private details of its members. BitTorrent Inc. issued a warning saying that the hackers managed to grab the user database, and passwords should be considered compromised. This is why all the users are recommended to update their passwords – both on uTorrent forums and other sites if they are identical.

Literally no one uses that, so I don't know what you're trying to get at.

Why is there so much brand loyalty for a company that treats their customers like criminals?
I've never been able to understand this bizarre phenomenon. Nvidia is truly an enigma.
>>55031628
How do they treat their customers like criminals?
Because unlike AMD, they make good products
Nvidia is for quality, AMD for cheap trash
Their drivers usually work
