Starting an internship at Cisco soon. They're offering me a choice of laptop between pretty much any ThinkPad and a MacBook Pro (I think 15" and 17").
I prefer Linux (if I were to get the MacBook I would put Linux on it, I can't use OS X).
My question: assume that I'll use Vagrant/etc when I need to so it doesn't matter what most my team uses for development. Should I get a ThinkPad or a MacBook?
More specifically, I'm strongly against Lenovo because of Superfish and other shady stuff. I'm strongly against Apple because...

I realize that, but part of me says "I don't know anything about this hardware. How would I know if it's just hidden better?"
I want to better the preformance of my players. I care less about the image quality and more about the smoothness of the playback. What should i do?
op here
would using a hardware decoder speed up the video? I don't think it will. same with algorithems for software interlacing. if the colors left untouched, would the vid run faster? it should but, would the screen itself slow it down when recieving colors it doesn't know about? i have no idea where to start about the threads, so i guess ill leave it at auto, but more or less? surely, more can speed up the vid, but only if my pc is up to the task... which i probably isn't. what about the output formats? should i check the unchecked boxs? should i uncheck...

What's wrong with Windows Phone? Better API, more performance, better security. Why is everyone using fucking Android?
>>54540672
Imo, Microsoft fucked it up by not delivering properly. I wanted it to succeed but I believe there'll be no chance of coming back.
>>54540672
1. Because they fucked it at the start
2. Because the only people who make them are Nokia
3. Because app selection ffs
And
4. I hate Microsoft and refuse to buy anything from them, I owned a zune and I will never buy their shit again after seeing how they handled that platform. Fucking morons are running that company.
If you knew anything about Microsoft's track record you wouldn't ask this question. Let me guess, you just decided to get a Windows phone one day and thought "hey this...

I love how it's smooth no matter what.
My Nexus 5 is starting to show it's age, would love something like the redmi 3, but running wp10 instead.

>Nintendo is working with NVIDIA and will use a Pascal-based Tegra chip inside of their next-gen Nintendo NX console.
IT'S HAPPENING
IT'S OVER, AMD IS FINISHED & BANKRUPT
even generic laptops with midrange gpu's have better performance than nvidia tegra
amd's finished? more like nintendo is finished
another underpowered machine means their end

AMD chips used in next-gen consoles
nVidia chip used in nintendo's newest last-gen console foisted off as next-gen
>SA has heard that Nvidia are promising software, support, and the whole shebang at a very low cost. According to one source, Nvidia may even be taking a loss on this deal.

OK, I guess the sysadmin caught me streaming japanese porn and banned my MAC address or something.
>boot from a liveUSB

Can someone explain me this magic?
I'm pretty sure you can change your MAC address
>>54540667
How?
>Inb4
>by using another device :^)
>>54540637
Why would someone block your MAC address tho? If you're paying for the connection, then it's none of their business what you browse. Also, isn't it illegal for ISP to watch over you? At least in EU it is
Bought myself Xiaomi mi5 few weeks ago. Was happy that I finally got a high end device and that everything will finally be smooth.
Last week howewer, everything was going downhill. Everything is becoming more and more laggy, hell, even facebook is crashing - the very reason why I wanted a new phone in the first place. I though a phone ranked at the top of antutu benchmarks would not have these problems. Is there anything I can do about it? Or should I just sell it and give try to new iPhone SE ?
Unlock bootloader, root, install custom image

But all was good few weeks ago, why the sudden slow down ? I only installed a few apps.

You installed shitware probably.

Just got processing confirmation for my oculus. Getting hyped for the meme.
What have everyone's experiences been like so far with either? For a bit, I thought I dun goofed with the Oculus, but it seems like it'll end up being the absolute victor in every area, except lacking a front camera for implementing a full fledged chaperone system, in the long run.
Current pros for each atm, according to reviews seem to be

Ive got a Vive.
My favorite thing so far has been VR porn. Its the most visceral 3d entertainment, better than all the tech demoes.
>>54540498
Also, apparently a less full featured chaperone system is being implemented for oculus. Pretty much you just preset a boundary area, and you have a virtual wall, rather than the camera defined edges of the vive
>>54540537
Nice. I'm so hyped for vr porn. Glad to see its not awful.

With Vive being Valve's headset it's obvious that most game devs will dev for the vive.

So I own a domain and some dude in China says that I could be involved with a cyber squatting case because another company is trying to register that domain. I already own it through go daddy so what do they want?

ahahaha no, go daddy owns all your domains that's how they work

"some dude in China" is trying to scam you.
I don't know what you were expecting.
Troll him until he figures you out, post results to 4chan.
>>54540200
I paid 3 grand for this domain and filed a trademark. Will not reply to a stupid email claiming that I may be involved with a high profile cyber squatting case because of the company that can't be found on Google is trying to register my domain.

Windows 10 is gift that keeps on giving.

2014: Windows gets multiple desktops
2016: Windows gets bash and the rest of linux userspace
2017+: Windows just runs every linux program internally, while giving them access to its first-tier APIs and libraries

I too don't understand why people use Linux. It's just setting yourself up for endless frustration.
Why aren't you using a PowerPC based Mac with a freedom certified distro?
Do you like to have kike powered government killswitchs in your computers?

I think i'd rather have a sun sparc.
Because I could easily use a polycarb C2D Macbook with libreboot and a freedom certified distro
