IRC: #/tpg/ on irc.rizon.net
Other business laptops are also welcome in /tpg/ (e.g. Dell Latitude/Precision, HP EliteBook/ZBook).
----
If you're looking for purchase advice, READ THE BUYERS GUIDE FIRST. Then post, stating budget and requirements (e.g. size and performance).
Don't buy anything OTHER THAN T, X AND W/P SERIES if you want the Real ThinkPad Experience™
Recommended models:
T420 - 14", normal size
X220 - 12.5", lightweight
----
Why ThinkPad? (also applies to other business laptops)
>Used machines are plentiful and cheap.
>Excellent keyboards - tactile feel and quiet.
>Great durability: chassis uses a magnesium rollcage for structural integrity, with high quality plastic body panels.
>Utilitarian design: e.g. indicator LEDs, 7 row keyboard layout on older models.
>Docking stations that easily turns your laptop into a desktop.
>Easy to repair, upgrade and maintain thanks to readily available service manuals for every model. Spare parts are easy and cheap to obtain.
>The best trackpoint (that red thing in the middle of the keyboard). Great for those who type a lot or hate swiping their fingers all over a touchpad.
>Excellent GNU/Linux & *BSD support.

T60p with what is most likely 1600x1200 Flexview. Snagged it for $95, so even if it's only 1400x1050 it's still a fair deal.

Asking "Hey guys, what's your opinion on x?" is frowned upon.
Wireless is frowned upon.
Headset requests are frowned upon.
Noise isolation ≠ Noise cancellation
If you dislike a headphone suggestion, try giving a better suggestion to whomever asked instead of going "hurr, brand x sucks"

Like I always say on these threads, you don't compete with Pajeet on a Pajeet-dominated environment. They charge that because they can actually live with that money (and have many of those gigs at the same time helps too).
Working locally is a great idea, keep doing that. If you want more work, wait for your clients to recommend you with other clients, from the same city or a near one.
>>
>>54839118
>Are these bids even serious
Some of them are serious, some of them are absurdly low to catch clients, and then upsell, some of them are just some kind of scam or morons who don't know what their time is worth (or do know what their time is worth)
You get what you pay for.
>how would anyone recommend competing in this area of web dev.
You can't compete with them on price, but you can on quality. Plenty of clients are willing to pay more for a good developer that actually understands what they want and isn't going to just shit out spaghetti code. Also, if you charge more, it actually helps drive off the shitty clients and attract better ones.

Same, bumping for interest. I'm gonna need a desktop soon after years of laptops. Prebuilt because I know nothing about putting one together myself, and don't want to make an expensive mistake.
Back in the day Dell was the go-to brand. Still the case?

Dear /g/,
My sister is running off to Cambodia to teach English. Setting aside the issues of her foolishness and my failure as a brother, I want to set her up with some tech before she leaves. She was thinking of dropping 500$ on a tablet, but I talked her out of that stupidity and she's on board with getting set up with a refurbished laptop running a GNU/Linux distribution.
My plan is to hook her up with a refurbished X220/230 convertible (350 CAD) running xubuntu, an encrypted drive, tor, and a multiboot stick with xubuntu (for recovery), and tails (in case she needs to commandeer someone else's PC). I have no experience with tails, so I could be completely off base with that.
Could you guys offer me some other suggestions for tech to give to a normie before they fuck off to Southeast Asia? I plan to give her a README for all this shit. What should I put in it? Can you offer me some other suggestions so that she can always get in touch with me?

"Every time a malicious program—say, a script on a website you visit—runs a certain, obscure command, that capacitor cell “steals” a tiny amount of electric charge and stores it in the cell’s wires without otherwise affecting the chip’s functions. With every repetition of that command, the capacitor gains a little more charge. Only after the “trigger” command is sent many thousands of times does that charge hit a threshold where the cell switches on a logical function in the processor to give a malicious program the full operating system access it wasn’t intended to have."
It's ogre. Cyberpunk era is here.

Suppose I wan't to know if a l33t haxxor tried to connect to my server, which logs do I need to watch often and which logs are less important? And I guess not every distro is the same, so what's the difference?
My guess there is some good hack (in the correct use of the word) to create a very logged system, I wonder if /g/ has a knowledgeable anon to tell how.

You need to ship your logs off the box for any real effectiveness. Otherwise watch wtmp btmp secure

>>54878960
I've heard every big company is does that without a question. Not sure if they use plain syslog for that.

Or you could just, you know, have a script that watches logs for intrusions...

We don't think "reference card" really does our reference card justice. Purchasers of the exclusive Nvidia GeForce™ GTX 1080 Founder's Edition were able to experience the game The Way It Was Meant To Be Played™ before you for only a small fee of only 699 USD. When our partners at EVGA™ release their aftermarket high power For The Win™ video cards, you can purchase them as well, allowing you to play your game The Way It Was Meant To Be Played™ again, for only 659 USD. What are you, poor? Go buy AMD.
