I'm in a new city and I'm bringing my thinkpad P50 out to a coffee shop to work tomorrow. What kind of reactions can I expect? Any public thinkpad stories?

Nobody's going to give a damn that you're using a laptop, you autistic fucking dipshit.
>>55517997
NOBODY CARES
>hello can I sit next to you :)
OP has Autism and needs a prog language that is as actively hostile towards OOP as he is.
What do you reconnected?
>>55517909
I reconnected fortran.
>>55517928
;_; another dead first-class functional language. Why are all the pretty ones dead?
>>55517909
Multi-paradigm languages like D-lang are OK. It's strict OOP languages those are cancer.
How do you feel about the Geek Squad?
>>55517694
I used to work for them in the stores and they're really no different from any other corporation. They're totally not for /g/ or anyone even remotely technologically minded. Their prices, structure, method of operation are totally designed around milking boomers and rich stupid middle aged people.
I now work at the corporate office for geek squad and I can tell you working for them is great, having to deal with them is only a few levels above trying to deal with a bank or something.
you habe moar?

Her expression is blank, her eyes are empty, her smile broken.
Her identity swept under the rug, hidden. for no one to ever excavate after years of self abuse and ridicule.
I just installed Slackware in a VM. Installation was a breeze. I wanted to like to like it. I wanted to like it so much. But Jesus, after using Portage and pacman, I can't abide this shit. Just... why?! Thank God I didn't put it on a real machine.
Slackware users: am I missing something here? I wish to be enlightened in the way of Slack. If not, I'll stick with Gentoo...
Slackware ships with a proprietary image viewer. DROPPED
>>55517583
The only think you're missing is the release date and the fact that it wants to stick to it's roots. At the time it came out, nothing had automatic dependency resolution. Nothing had a package manager.
>>55518441
and for what reason does slackware keep living in that stone age?
So /g/ have we figured out what the best browser is?
Firefox is fucking laggy and unresponsive, would be the best if it weren't for the lag.
Opera's UI is cluttered with bull shit, has in-built shit that can not be removed from the tool bar
Chrome is a botnet
Vivaldi is just out of the picture
Is there not one decent browser? For fucks sake
>Firefox is fucking laggy and unresponsive
this faggotry needs to die
im not happy with some of mozilla's recent doings but that statement is a lie
>Chrome is a botnet
only if you leave most of the options enabled

Fuck off i'm using firefox right now. And it lagged, that's what made me make this thread.
I have tried it on my laptop and Desktop, i've re-installed it. Now i just deal with it, as it has the best extensions.
>de-select all the options fixes it
Yeah, that's what you think
>>55517655

So last night I had a quick thread about which is the best 1070 after market model you can get.
For some reason, /g/ decided that shit brands like Gainward and Palit are better than stuff like Asus and Gigabyte?
Were you guys trolling or what?
For the past 5 years I've read nothing but bad stuff about those, like using cheap materials and not binning at all.
Which is the best 1070? Opinions?
Bump without shame
The reference 1070 is actually quite good, so you can't go wrong there.
3rd party boards I like are EVGA and MSI
>>55517831
isn't the cooling/clocks on that one sub-par tho?

Note 2 lte here as well. I have two official Samsung batteries that I carry. Running cm 12.1 (unofficial). Everything works well, pull 6 hours SOT with one battery regularly with heavy use.
I've been running on an e2220 for a year now, will this be a good deal and hold me until zen+? Looking to play most new games on medium high.
Also craigslist general I guess
>>55517069
overpriced. those machines typically go for $100. $120 tops.
>>55517069
Those look like they were stolen from a school library or some shit. The fact that he has a completely identical second and selling both on craigslist makes it even more suspicious.
>>55517920
Fuck, the university here has a whole fleet of them. That explains that then.
>you meet a girl in an internet café
>you guys talk for a long while

What do?
Shout "Allahu akbar" and proceed to beat the living shit out of her
Install Gentoo
>>55517062
Explain to her that four spaces are all that is necessary, and that, basically, she's a pleb.
Icecat, seamonkey, firefox or pale moon?
Chromium without Sync
>>55517046
PM is pretty nice. Minimal compatibility issues and none of that Australis bullshit. There's even gentoo ebuilds that are still regularly maintained in one of the overlays.
Clover. What are you doing, browsing the internet on a desktop or using any website other than 4chan?
What's a free method to spoof someone else's number for a text message?
