Salutations and Felicitations my dudes.

Bit of a issue, I got a virus on my toshiba satellite c50 I get an error message when I start it up and it won't factory reset like, it just stops at 3%, does anybody know how to fix it? I would like to have the files but not necessary.

Beginning of the end finally of this consumerized technology hell that we've endured under Apple?

Patient zero might be dying, but the infection lives on.
Not really. Apple may finally go bankrupt in 2-4 years even with the iphone 7 but it doesn't mean they won't be replaced. Maybe x86 windows phones will take over apple's "muh logo" and no expandable memory business strategy.
that doesnt even look like a significant drop, im pretty sure apple will exist for the rest of our lives pham

Nice DPI pablo.

I have an old Dell Inspiron N5040 with a dead hard drive.
Is it worth fixing? I upgraded the ram to 8GB some time ago, but I've no real need for it, and I have to get a new work laptop in a few months anyways. I'd have to use the only laptop drive I have, which I'm using for my main rig right now (because I'm a cheap fuck and don't want to buy another)

Just get a new laptop, 16 gig minimum. 32 user here I couldn't fathom only having 8 in 2016

It's not much, but it was 4GB stock.

how did you guys make it through university?
i started at the age of 19 with information science / media informatics.
had no motivation at all didnt go there often / at all.
started different majors because i was taking too long and couldnt finish the first ones.
now i am 24 starting information science and it is pretty much my last shot because i have high student loans.
I like computer science and cant imagine not sitting infront of a computer for my 9to5 in the future. i just seem to lack the motivation to go through with it and go to university every day for...

Do something you like, not something you think will make money. Money is a meme, as long as you have enough to sustain yourself

You're talking about computer work for the rest of your life and you aren't even willing to do three years?
It's too easy just to say that I sat down and just did it. That isn't the whole story anyway as I had a rocky and, ultimately, unfulfilling time at University largely because I constantly procrastinated hence my grades plummeted as my course progressed. I did graduate but with a less-than-satisfying mark but only a hair's breadth above disgraceful.
I attended everything on the timetable. Everything: lectures, seminars (or, rather, where they gave answers to the worksheets), workshops (where they gave help for worksheets but I always used it as time allocated 100% to worksheets), labs, etc.
My attendance record was 97% overall and I have no idea why 3% was missing.
The way you manage is that you get yourself into a productive routine. Or, at least, that's what I'd advise myself if I could redo it.
Get your time, even your spare time, structured and a minimum set amount of hours doing uni work. Get ALL the books from the reading lists out of the library (I got shouted at right at the end of my course by one of the lecturers for only having taken out one book and otherwise relied on his lectures).
Make friends on your course as soon as possible: the later you leave it, the more you'll be viewed as an outsider (friend-group-wise) and the less help you'll get from other people.
I made the mistake of wanting to """ironman""" through my course friendless and, by the time I realised how helpful it was sitting down with other people and talking/working through problems... yeah.
I did a Particle Physics degree but it should be just as helpful. I'm out of time.

That's it. I'm the laziest motherfucker on this planet but routine is all you need. The first few weeks are hard but then it's getting easier

when will we get a proper stallman that actually holds to his principles?

When makes a good OS
In all honesty, Google is the best search engine if you don't count freedom. DuckDuckGo is only able to come close because of its !g and !gi features.

I thought that this horrible fashion was already passing. So post "improvements" in technology.

Fantastic don't you think? Our screens keep increasing in resolution and definition, at the same time information density only decreases.
Firefox with that shitty Australis UI.
Also the direction they've headed in general, with all that extra bloat and social media shit built-in.
I had to switch to cyberfox.
Flat/Minimal/Material design is here to stay and realistic graphics have always been shit. Never hold up well and don't have any charm whatsoever.
Is there anything more pointless than VR?

I got it for free when i got my s7, and im enjoying it. you should stop being a faggot, its unbecoming. I'm going to pray for you.
Reality that's virtual

This Thread.
Why is my i5 from 5+ years ago not as good as the ones out today?
It has basically the same clock speed and number of processors as the ones coming out today.
>>54518003
Put it on the microwave to recharge the GHz.
IPC
Think of it like improving how powerful each Ghz is.
Higher IPC but lower clockspeed can overcome lower IPC and high clockspeed.
Intel has been pretty consistent in giving ~5-10% IPC improvements per generation. So by now even at the same clock speed, you will likely be a good 20-30% slower, depending on what you're doing.
>>54518003
Newer ones do more per clock -- same reason as why a 3 GHz i5 would beat the crap out of a 3 GHz Pentium 4 even if limited to using one core.
