Are chromebooks any good? I want to install Linux on one, but most of the tutorials I've seen people are using something called crouton, is this just a virtual machine running within Chrome OS?
I just want a small 12" laptop for mainly internet/word processing, but I want to use Linux. An I better off just buying a netbook where I can install whatever I want on it?

If you don't care about the botnet, yeah they're pretty good
> is this just a virtual machine running within Chrome OS?
It's a Ubuntu chroot. You'll have to remove a protection screw to use it though

Windows users should try with ":backend=dxinterop" added to the "vo=" line for proper dxva2-native acceleration.
Did you try the new madvr deringing thing?
Pretty great but very/too gpu intensive.
Madshi leaked that is a 6-passes shader.
Some comparisons are available here:

NNEDI3 from mpv is just a silly joke.
You can't compete with the enhanced NNEDI3 from madVR.
People that said NNEDI3 is a watercolor filter didn't try madVR one.

same issue with linear light downscaling in mpv

Why not to use real radios? HF is fun, trust me.
I need help /g/aylords.
I made the stupid, STUPID mistake of going into Design in college and now at the very tail end of my graduation I realize this is nonsense and has no market value.
I'm seriously considering taking up one of the two fields mentioned in the title but I have some doubts as to which does what and which is more viable in the job marketplace.
So, I'd like to know how hard each one is for somene who's gotten rather rusty on his maths and which is superior or more viable.

You better love math, and I mean LOVE it. Prepare to spend every waking moment of the next 4 years eating, breathing and shitting math.
>CS
A bit of math, but not too much, eat breathe and shit Java or C++ for 2+ years depending on where you go.
I did both, (well, I only did EE for one year) and I prefer CS, your results may vary.

design is everywhere and worth more money than god what the fuck are you talking about it's just self-doubt desu senpai we're all gonna make it >>>/gd/

That's graphic design and it's use is limited.
I'm in product design which is the shittier cousin of graphic design, and it's just pure bollocks and people coming out of the course have no real skills of value.
Trust me, we're just guys with ideas, little to no actual valuable skills. We literally can't do shit without an engineer.

Is a master's degree in CS worth it?
No, you'll need a PhD in CS to get a real job.
If you actually learn something, sure

Holy fuck, Manjaro. Get it together already.
Haha, wow. They're so fucking inept at even the simplest of tasks that it's both funny and yet a little sad all at the same time.

The screenshot says clearly NET::ERR_CERT_DATE_INVALID (it would be SEC_ERROR_EXPIRED_CERTIFICATE on Firefox)
Why are you posting on a tech board? The certificate expired on 09/05/2016 (day-month-year)
There's a topic in their forum suggesting to "just add an exception" - displaying yet another time awful security practices.
