Thinking of getting a Blue Snowball, is there any better choice for this cheap price range? I'd like to keep it to around 100 bucks or lower.
USB or not. The /g/ guide is a little barebones on this

Seriously, the snowball isn't worth it.If you're looking for something USB (aka. don't have an interface & phantom), have a look at something cheap like the Behringer C-1U.If you have a way of plugging in an XLR condenser and powering it then I'd look into the AT2020 (not sure how good it is) or the GXL3000 (been using it for the past year and works great).
Sup /g/, /fit/ here. I was recently hired to be a software developer at a big tech company. However, I'm totally unprepared for it (I'm pretty sure at this point they just hired me to fulfill diversity requirements). How do I learn C++and Linux in a week?

Are you a fembot?
If yes, no need to, just make sure you look somewhat dickable.
Else you are fucked, learning how to google would be your best bet.
>>54887048
Which requirements are you fulfilling
>>54887048
Are you me?
I got hired as a developer after sitting around playing games for a year after graduating university (compsci). I had literally no work experience, never had a job, did no internships, did no coding outside of school, never had sex, etc. My resume stated all of this as well. The only reason I think I got hired was because I was able to check off minority in the application, and I am only half a minority.
You learn mostly on the job. Just Google and browse source control to learn.

>>54886874
Debian

You're already going to pride yourself on using inferior tech so debian would be a perfect fit

Periodically it is putting a little small pixel "ant" on my screen, which magically disappears when I close f.lux. It was a deliberate attempt at trolling, but it is too distracting. Fuck this cuckware. Are there any open sore alternatives?

There is something called fast startup or smth iirc. Disable it and try again
>Goldmont CPUs 30% faster than Silvermont CPUs
THANK YOU BASED INTEL
>>54886674
Blatantly says the iGPU is 30% faster, not the CPU
Where's the footnote saying "Only in some SIMD workloads"
>>54886674
They give you food at those presentations?
Have anyone tried a Thinkpad with Xeon processor? Is it much faster than the i7?
I am looking for a new thinkpad to quickly run GNU+linux and Firefox, and wondering if it's worth the upgrade.
>>54886542
You don't know what distinguishes a Xeon from an i7, do you?
>>54886584
That's what I am asking.

I hope for the day when Linux can work on the totality of technology: across the most diverse in age and shape. I hope that its abilities of functionality span the technological universe. Said increase is only possible through negation of the negativity eminent from default: "Old Toshiba + Ubuntu = graphics error".
I dream of the day when the wires of technological consciousnes are willed to extend into all hidden recesses.
Dude, I bought a Logitech h340 the usb one. Plugged it into my debian works out of the box. Plugged it into my windows machine for a win only game, I fucking kid you not, it took 15 min then a fucking reboot because the driver utility froze everything then 5 other minutes because I changed the usb port it was plugged in.
>commie
>>54886502
I should make a fucking webm about this.
Again, apparently debian was notorious for wifi drivers or some shit? get this last week I fixed my newer laptop then put in it the ssd that was on the ancient one, everything works great except wifi because it wasn't the same card of course. Guess what, a fucking Sudo apt install Broadcom did the trick. And I think I only had to do that because Debian and nonfree packages.
Linux distros came a long way, I'm the first to be pleasantly surprised.

Why can't I use "/"s in a filename
anyone?
every sane operating system uses it as a directory separator
thus putting it in a filename would make the file system flip out
ok
