How do I find out which website(s) needs to be whitelisted in order for a website to work properly?
Temporarily whitelisting every single one (pic related) takes a long time and is a major pain in the ass.
Example:
I click on a button, nothing happens. Does this get logged somewhere? Can I use addons like Firebug to check for this?

When there are that many third party bullshit scripts I just close the page.

Upgrade to uMatrix senpai.
https://github.com/gorhill/uMatrix/
>>53677252
That being said, uMatrix also has the same guesswork going on. But because you can subscribe to filter lists and stuff, shit like advertising.com would be in the shitlist already, making it much easier to weed out the actual content.
Other than that, it's a learning process pretty much. You'll learn to identify some commonly used CDNs and you'll learn that for example fbcdn.net belongs to Facebook so allow at your own risk etc.

I recently signed up for twitter for professional reasons. Those of you who use twitter, is there any advice, tips, recommendations people to follow etc?
Thanks
Never EVER tweet about politics for any reason, regardless of what your actual opinions are.
>>53676996
Thanks. Will definitely follow this advice.
I'm following a lot of political related Twitters, on both sides of the spectrum, however
>>53676996
Why not?
Is the desktop truly dead?
not until phones can play crysis
>>53676878
They can run UE4 games which are more taxing.
If it weren't for the fact that most of them are the wrong architecture they probably could run Crysis. I mean if the 360 and PS3 can then surely a phone from 12 years later can.
>>53676878
They can. Crysis is 9 years old...

UMPC? I think it had its chance
pocket computer? Sounds a little clunky, and the acronym is the same as personal computer (although "personal computer" is pretty archaic)
Maybe just "handheld". The term caught on for consoles

we call it a smartphone

That's a euphoric, enlightened boomer.
Hey /g/, I'm visiting a college today where I'm considering going for a computer science or other computer-related degree. I've set up an informational meeting with one of the deans of the computer science department. If you were in my shoes, what would you ask the person I'm meeting with?

Darknet general?
Or resources of how to safely browse markets and other sites on the darknet.
darkweb you mean ? tor, tails, vpn stuff like that
>>53675926
Darknet is about networking within it right?
And
>tor, tails, vpn, general opsec
Yes.
Basically; paranoid general.
Or not, depending on what you're doing.

Go to your local sportsman outlet, buy a 12-Gauge Shotgun and some ammunition, go home, aim the barrel of it to the back of your head (within the best of your ability), and pull the trigger.

Hello guys, I'm professional poker player and the future of poker isn't looking that bright in next few years so.. I want to start programming, but have no idea where to start or where the money is (app making, website developing,..??).
I'm looking to learn as much as I can in a span of next 4-5 years, I'm used to working 10 hours a day, so learning for a few hours per day isn't really going to bother me and I'm used to it. I have good work ethics and can also throw a few hundred bucks here and there if I can get a coach or mentor to help...

If you want to be anything more than a codemonkey you'd also need to learn some maths.

How long until we get realtime waifu2x level upconversion on our dvd players?

How long till we get waifu2x on AMD cards?

When AMD cards become relevant.
It does produce some nice results imo

When people started including CI/travis, build bots, frameworks, dozens of libraries for a simple application, and so on. It's not that I don't really understand the logic of programming, it's that I don't understand why programmers make life so difficult for themselves.
It's just not fun anymore to hack away at a couple of source files without having to commit every line of code, get shat on for a simple typo by feminist non-programmers, have to implement a CoC for projects on Github, and so on. Fuck this hobby and fuck this industry.
>>53675801
I feel you. Not exactly the same, but linking and package dependency hells and shitty build tools and IDEs are making me crazy. I just want to express my algorithms and whatnot in a language, don't want to deal with all that bullshit. I just can't deal with all that bullshit.
Should I try to become a CS scientist or what? Clearly I'm too dumb for real world programming.
>>53675801
>When did you understand that you are too stupid for programming
No, the build tools are shit.
The C stuff is basically 40+ years of crap built upon crap built upon crap. Don't worry it's all going to collpase in a few years.
I know /g/ isn't exactly an XDA alternative, but I was wondering, with regards to rooting...
What are the advantages of the autoroot method by Chainfire >flash temporary custom recovery, install SuperSU, reflash stock recovery
over simply installing your own permanent custom recovery and flashing SuperSU from it?
Preferences towards Chainfire's autoroot are often stated without reasoning, but it doesn't allow you to

Why would you want stock recovery?
Its not like you can upgrade OTAs via stock recovery anymore, if you make any system partition modifications. The only known ways to update OTAs when you're rooted now is extracting the .img files from the stock image and flashing them individually via FlashFire.
>>53675640
Yes, exactly
Which is why I don't know why other prefer Chainfire's auto root
Hey /g/,
I want to buy a decent 3d printer/scanner combo device to replicate things I build out of cardboard and possibly clay. I would like something that can print and scan large objects like tablet cases (for a 7" tablet at least), in parts if necessary, but I would like to print the back of the thing all in one piece. Price is definitely an issue, but I'll save my money if it's worth it. If you insist, I might consider buying a scanner and printer separately.
Thanks.
>>53675348
you can probably find one on www.google.com
>>53675348
So long as you don't get the one in pic related, it's hot garbage.

I know that bq sells 3d printers but I do not know if they are worth it.

In this month of March, I have had 3 gmail accounts compromised and/or logged into from someone other than myself. Unfortunately these accounts had e-mails from other accounts which had personal information like SSN and bank cards.
As I am a /v/agrant, most of my knowledge of computers is for games and gaming related matters. I have no fucking idea what to do, so I just ended up deleting my accounts. To make things short...
