>The French government has created a smartphone app designed to send warnings directly to people’s phones in the event of a bombing, shooting or other disaster.
>Two days before the Euro 2016 football tournament opens in France amid a high police and military presence, the French interior ministry unveiled its alert app called Saip (Système d’alerte et d’information des populations), which was developed after last November’s coordinated terrorist attacks across Paris killed 130 people.
>Available in English and French, the app can be configured to receive an alert if an attack occurs near the user. In the event of a terrorist bombing or shooting, the smartphone screen turns crimson and displays the word “ALERT”, a brief description of what is happening and advice on how to react.
>Advice already on the app includes general tips on what to do in other emergencies, such as a nuclear alert, including “take cover in a closed building”, “do not pick up your children from school” and “do not overcrowd telephone networks”.

Twitter works because you engage with it all the time.
This won't work because you don't. You're not going to download and keep an app you don't use, even if it does warn you

> Reddit user sammiesdog discovered recently that Visual Studio 2015 C++ compiler was inserting calls to a Microsoft telemetry function into binaries.
> "I compiled a simple program with only main(). When looking at the compiled binary in IDA, I see a call for telemetry_main_invoke_trigger and telemetry_main_return_trigger.
> I cannot find documentation for these calls, either on the web or in the options page," he wrote. Only after the discovery did Steve Carroll, the dev manager for Visual C++ admit to the "feature" and posted a workaround to remove it.
> A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed the existence of this behavior to InfoQ, adding that the company wil bel removing it in a future preview build. For those who wish to get rid of it, the blog writes:
> Users who have a copy of VS2015 Update 2 and wish to turn off the telemetry functionality currently being compiled into their code should add notelemetry.obj to their linker command line.

So I've been trying vim lately. I really see how it can be useful, but then I don't fucking get it. I don't need a list of key bindings, I have that. The problem is that none of that can be combined in a practical way that would be any faster than just using the mouse in a modern text editor. Examples of things that annoy me in vim:
>Backspace doesn't work in insert mode (might be a problem specific to my installation though)
>You can't use shortcuts to navigate in insert mode, so when you are writing code, and want to move to the end of the line, I need to do Ctrl+c, $, i, which is fucking spastic.
>I never fucking know where paste puts the fucking text. Maybe I'm too stupid, but it always surprises me where it puts the text. Super annoying
>Say I copied some text with y, then I want to paste it. Now I can't delete any fucking thing before I do that, because everything I delete will also be copied which is fucking stupid
>Again, I copied something, but now I want to add a few tabs or something before I paste it. I again, need to go into insert mode, make the fucking tab, go out of insert mode again with that ridiculous "shortcut" and paste it.
Now, I know you will probably post something like "Kys retard", but Jesus, I don't fucking get the enthusiasm for this shitty tool. I really tried, but none of that makes any sense to me. No matter how much I exercise, I'm still at least twice as fast with any other more modern text editor. It's crazy. I'm absolutely willing to see that I'm just too stupid to use vim, but please show me the way if you can. How do you solve above problems?
>Backspace doesn't work in insert mode (might be a problem specific to my installation though)
Works fine on my version, might be caused by something else
>You can't use shortcuts to navigate in insert mode, so when you are writing code, and want to move to the end of the line, I need to do Ctrl+c, $, i, which is fucking spastic.
The End key still works, also Ctrl+c? why not Esc? and how Ctrl+c, one of the most common hotkeys spastic?
>I never fucking know where paste puts the fucking text. Maybe I'm too stupid, but it always surprises me where it puts the text. Super annoying
paste puts the text after the character you're cursor is on. that one messes me up all the time too, but its easy to fix with u, h, p. Yeah, its key combinations but it's not exactly complex.
>Say I copied some text with y, then I want to paste it. Now I can't delete any fucking thing before I do that, because everything I delete will also be copied which is fucking stupid
you have multiple registers that you can paste into. Give http://usevim.com/2012/04/13/registers/ a glance
>Again, I copied something, but now I want to add a few tabs or something before I paste it. I again, need to go into insert mode, make the fucking tab, go out of insert mode again with that ridiculous "shortcut" and paste it.
do you want to indent first? >> indents the line you're on.
If you can't get your head around the modal system or you're just not happy there's nobody saying you have to use vim. Except the assholes in the text editor wars but who cares what they think.

Am I going to be able to use VR with post vitrous detachment? As in floaters so bad I cant drive
Is my cousin going to be able to use VR with extreme motion sickness? 10 minutes on a bus is hell for him.
Your eyesight shouldn't hurt too much since if you crash in games it doesn't really matter. You won't be very good at whatever you're playing but it won't be a big issue other than that.
As for motion sickness, your cousin is going to get fucking wrekkked. Three ks worth of wrekked.
>>55009481
Any blogposts with someone who has real motion sickness
He throws his head down and thinks he is going go die when he is a passanger, driving a car is ok
But these vr systems probably have some lag?

I know this is a stupid question but I have to ask it
Do I have to change my PC's resolution to 4K as well as changing the resolution of the game I'm playing or do game settings override the PC's resolution? ie, will changing game settings make it 4K or downscaled to native? I use a 4K TV but have my PC in 1080 for various reasons. I'm testing Overwatch and I'm surprised my 970 is handling 4K at 60fps.
right click on desktop > nvidia control panel
there you set up desktop resolution
ingame graphics settings > there you set up the game display resolution
if your desktop is 1080p and overwatch 4k your screen should flicker when you launch the game which is normal
>>55009376
if you can't tell the difference, then you are a pleb and have no need for 4k anyway.
>>55009415
So without doing this, it was just downsampled to 1080 before.
>>55009434
I genuinely don't notice a damn difference

I know /g aint my personal tech support but does anybody here know what is the latest model of ps2.
I got two of the SCPH-77004, which is from my childhood and SCPH-90004 which i recently bought from a flea market.
SCPH-90010 seems to be the last release of PS2 Slim
Greatest console ever made. I might have to dig mine out.

Hey /g/ I wondering if you could help me out as a last resort. As you can see in the picture the PCIe bracket (I/O bracket, retaintion, backplate, exhust etc.) is pretty messed up an I'm looking for a replacement but having a job finding anything for it. It's just a reference GTX 580. I've used a bunch of different terminology for the plate but not turning much up at all. Was hoping someone could tell me the exact name of it so I can try finding one.
