Would you recommend the Dell Venue 8?
The reviews love this but we all know about reviews.
>>53704941
It's hard to imagine Dell capable of making anything of quality, so No.

why not a Nexus 2013?

Hey, /g/. I know this board isn't supposed to be tech support but I've been fighting with this thing for two days. And losing. I have one idea for good solution but I want to bounce it off smarter people before I put time into it in case it's another dead end.
I have a friend's HP 15 (15-g088ca) laptop with legit Windows 10 Home on it. The original drive is 5200rpm and it's slow as shit. I've been trying to clone it to an SSD and then put that in the laptop but I keep slamming into walls. I've been building, using and occasionally...

I've done the neckbeard thing for a while now: never had a smartphone, no Facebook, etc. I do have a Google account but it's restricted to the max and all features like Google Now and shit are disabled.
But fuck /g/uys, it's painful. It's an obstacle in my social life, my career, general productivity...
At what point should you just give up and bend over?
when you have a social life, career and things to do
if i actually had any friends i would have a facebook sure

Should I create a separate partition for steam games? Is it difficult to expand or decrease the partition size?
up to you
you should google "how to resize partition on [operating system]" read the first guide and judge for yourself whether or not you are too stupid to do this
>>53704659
>add another storage drive
>bam, a new partition
That wasn't so hard.
Just make a new folder, for what reason do you need to make a partition just for Steam?
>>53704741
Yeah for steam

Hi /g/. I just purchased the parts for a new gaming pc using the falcon guide. Most of my parts are in the suberb range for reference as I dont have details on hand right now. With my ram chips coming in two weeks, what OS should I install? I even have time for linux, but I don't know much about linux.
>>53704578
What
>>53704646
Im asking what the best OS to install on a new pc. I have two weeks to wait for my last part in case I need to build linux.
Still, what?
Gaming PC and Linux just don't go together.
RAM chips? Do you have any idea what you're talking about, or?

I've had a bunch of problems using freelancer sites (difficult getting projects completed), I have been using Upwork/Elance, does anyone recommend other sites?
>>53704489
craigslist
Work Market
>>53704758
Thanks will take a look.
Who else here /reinstalls OS too much/?
Currently none of the installs on any of my PCs are over a week old. The longest I've kept an install in the past few years has been 6 months. Its starting to get ridiculous
How can I keep myself from scratching the itch /g/?
Realize that all operating systems are shit and you're just wasting your time.
start doing something actually productive.
That way, you can't spend all your time being a fucking useless retard.

Is growing up an option?
Is emulating on linux equal to how it works on windows? I want to emulate a virus, but I am unsure it will work on linux.
I was confused as fuck, but then I realized you likely mean virtual managers.
Same open-sourced shit you'd use on windows, go get VirtualBox
>>53704321
No I mean use a windows virus to infect my linux.
>>53704334
try it in wine but most likely will not yield the results you wanted, otherwise no theres no other way to do it
My house doesn't have a cable, because it was cut out by the previous owners. So if I plug a cable into this panel, will I get internet cable again?
The other cable goes to my neighbour.

It would be extremely painful.

You're a pretty big internet

Heya /g/.
I've been studying IT and software dev for a few years now. Not the best at math but my logic is pretty solid. I'm currently doing my first internship with a medical records SaaS company which is nice but not really my area of interest.
Anyway, I've been trying to decide on one of a few different paths I could go on. Those are... vidya dev, blockchain dev, and IT security.
vidya: most personal interest , most fun, but highly competitive and probably over-saturated.
blockchain: pretty interested, highly sought after knowledge,...

>muh vidya gaems
do not do this. Game companies know that every young programmer wants to work for vidya games, so they chew you up and spit you out knowing there'll be willing replacements in line behind you. Enjoy 100+ hour weeks during crunch time.
>blockchain
could be big, could be a meme. not clear yet. I would pass, or just keep up with developments in the area on the side, if you're really interested.
>security
here's your career path.

Get a gallon of distilled water. Otherwise, what are you looking for?
>>53703984
Basically, something that is reliable, can be configured with not too much effort to NOT be spybot OS, has backlit keyboard, good occasional gaming performance, high security, is max 15-inch, 2,5 inch SSD slot so that by simply flipping i can put in my current one. Bonus would be built in slot-in blu-ray drive, but i assume I will have to buy external one.... Battery life of +7h. Would support support 29 or 34 inch ultrawide display....
>>53704131
Oh yeah, and upgradable to at least 16gb of ram or more, alternatively shipped with that by default.
