Now that the dust has settled, can we all agree that chromebooks are the best cheap laptops?
Sure if you like shitty performance and saving everything in Google's ecosystem.

>chromebooks
Worst choice you can make.
If you want a cheap laptop get a pentium quad core with 4GB of ram at 200$
There are thousands of semi-decent laptops around $200. Chromebooks are for checking social media, not much else. So you may as well just stick with your Smartphone. Be smart, shop wise
What would be a good OS for this laptop? Something that wont lag its babby cpu when watching netflix or having more than one tab open in a web browser.

I heard that C Primer Plus 6th edition was a good place to start for someone new, then move on to R&K. What do you guys think about it?
It's the best.
What about C++? I already know C

I'm wondering if it is possible to send on wifi dongle other signal than this from wifi. Could I do something like FM radio on 2,4 GHz using wifi dongle? On raspberry pi I found this https://github.com/ChristopheJacquet/PiFmRds
If I can use GPIO Pin without antenna why not use wifi dongle? And how can I learn about ham radio?
>>54780705
No.
Wifi dongles routers and all RF stuff needs to pass FCC inspections.
This means that it cant send any other signal outside 2.4 - 2.2 GHz.
To learn about HAM get in touch with your local radio amateurs (yes you have them) and they will set you straight.
>>54781235
But could I send whatever that isn't wifi signal via wifi dongle?
>>54781503
No. Anything wifi related uses it's own protocols that wont be compatible with other systems. E.g. bluetooth works on 2.4ghz but wont go anywhere near wifi.
THE FUTURE IS NOW
Is this a high school?

>there's poorfags 9n this board who don't have a sound card
>They think on board will compete with my $500 card
Why even have a computer if all you have is that shit integrated soundcard?
Most people don't really give a fuck about sound and don't have the equipment to take advantage of a high-end card.

I really like the customizability of Vivaldi, but I won't use it since it is not free.

Is Google the only chance we have when it comes to a Linux desktop?
S-Surely hardware companies can get behind a company like Google for an open-source desktop OS that can compete with Windows and OS X, r-right?
Why do you want one? There's already GNU/Linux for desktop use and to compete with Microsoft means having software available to compete with closed source and unrelated programs that just happen to only run on Windows/OSX, which those devs would never do, nor would Google.
>>54780416
The only chance we have when it comes to a Linux desktop is for freetards to stop promoting their shit tier hobby distros and wasting time reinventing the same fucking things 500 times across 500 distros.
Google already has a Linux distro, it's called android
What do you guys think of my build? Anyway i could make it cheaper?

The voiceover is really weird. She's hot though so who cares.
>>54780262
Sounds Canadian
>>54780153
Ok well as I watch it longer, I fear for her temps. Installing a HSF with no thermal paste... But again who cares she's hot.
What Internet browser(s) do you use, and how many do you have installed?
I actually use both Firefox and Chromium.
Mostly Firefox. I only switch to Chromium when doing heavy Youtube watching or using google drive, gmail or evernote, for some reason feels faster in chromium.
However I keep coming back to Firefox. I hate the lack of keyword searches in Chromium.
Firefox ESR
Firefox 28
