I always avoided banks and other payment methods except hard cash.
Is there a service that let you have money account to send and receive money from all over the world but that is not associated with any actual bank?
tl;dr service that give you electronic card,money account but that its not a bank (lol)
For example, is Payoneer the thing I'm looking for?
it's called bitcoin
Its possible to avoid banks, if you're okay with doing absolutely nothing of consequence in your life.
I don't know if you are, but I'm not.

Has /g/ ever used Upwork?
For working, not hiring.
>>54339018
Selling your labor as an interchangeable commodity is very bad.
Read some business books.
>>54339018
Those sites are a nightmare for freelancers and for people that hire freelancers. I would like to hear experiences from other anons but from what I've read it's really frustrating. What is your area of expertise?
>>54339050
That's what labor is...
>>54339071
OP here. I don't really have expertise which I think is part of my problem. I've been trying it for about 3 weeks. I got a $700 job building out a huge database, two jobs totaling $300 scraping some shit for another guy, $300 building an onboarding integration thingy, and $400 (maybe, bitch awarded it, but is shit with instructions so I have barely started) working with a productivity API.
I put 'full-stack-developer'...

Whatever happened to the anon whose mom threw away a prototype IBM computer? I'm hoping he found it, or at least managed to make his mom feel guilty for it. Post is at >>54318263

This is probably the absolute closest you're gonna get to replicating the Sony Vegas experience ;^)

Microsoft sucks dicks. Even their taskbar doesnt work. I'm not saying Mac OS X's dock is the best but fucking hell Windows is just a mess

The worst was placing the taskbar on top of the screen. Literally half of the programs didn't realize that the bar was on top and they behaved as if it was on the bottom.
I don't know how I put up with the shitty windows bugs for so long.

Are any of you guys comp sci majors?
Is it good/worth doing/hard etc
Help me sort out of life /g/
>>54338789
Getting the paper will help you get more opportunities, but you will have to master an up-to-date set of skills that you need as a <insert your dreamjob> to actually be of any use. Don't study computer science unless you really are fascinated by computers and how they work. Also be prepared for a fuckton of maths.
>>54338863
I like computers, I don't love them idk
I'm fascinated by artificial life etc which you learn about partially through the degree, and I wanna get better at coding because that fascinates me
I love tech culture? Idk
I'm actually worried it will be too hard for me and I just don't wanna fuck up my life
>>54338863
Comp Sci can have a lot of math but outside of the first year or so it doesn't necessarily have to unless you're doing a lot with graphics
I have an old Pavillion and no idea what to use it for

This piece of shit is hot, and has poor battery life.
I can recommend this.
Gut it, and put it inside an OG xbox case, I am gonna do something similar to this.
I'm going to college. Recommend me a laptop to use in class. Problem is that my budget is small: 350$ (or about 300 euros).

Can someone tell me what exactly is wrong with running a Pro/Enterprise version of Windows 10 with the correct Group Policy/Registry tweaks enabled, compared to say OSX, or even Windows 7/8 with the telemetry "security updates" applied (most of /g/ are probably running 7/8 like this...)
OSX is rammed full of telemetry - there is barely any options to disable this too, and automatic updates by default - yet, nobody seems to care. In fact, Apple are lauded with supplying such great service to its customers by spying on what they do in order to do this effectively.

Yeah, the fact that you had to run a Pro/Enterprise version of Windows 10 with the correct Group Policy/Registry tweaks enabled.
So much for le windows just werks meme
I'd like to know more about Windows 10 and telemetry.

I got an Asus Aspire V11 with Windows 8.1 pre-installed, and it runs ALL games at a ludicrously bad framerate. It's not about performance either - the same happens equally in huge RTS games as it does in 2D indie games, both of which have run perfectly on a three years older laptop with Windows 7.
What really makes me want to strangle everyone responsible for this disaster is that they bloody well know what they've done yet still prefer giving you the run-around with useless advice that has never worked for anyone with the same issue. I, along with countless...

Hey /g/, I'm looking for an SSD.
1.8"
128+GB
<$200
Also, SSD general because I don't see a thread in the catalog. Which SSD do you use?
>>54338569
get an mSATA drive and an adapter

Looking to replace my laptop's HDD.
>>54338569
Why does it have to be 1.8"?
I'm about to go buy myself a brand new laptop and I've been wondering just how deeply MS has entrenched their shitty OS into the new machines.
Should I just buy an older model or is there a way to completely eradicate this untermensch of a system?
The worst I've seen is BIOSes which overwrite your HDD with shitty windows programs. To be sure, get something that works with Libreboot and zero-full the HDD before installing gentoo.

Big thanks! Google only gave me crap about how to "clean" Win10 (you can't clean a turd lel) and I don't have time to do a long search.
