Hey /g/. Can anyone recommend a good keyboard for a programmer ? Budget is cca up to 50€. I prefer ones with cable. Thanks
Pok3r

Looks good but too expansive for me atm. I dont need mechanical , just something that has a nice feel and quality, cause what I got is utter shit

some cherry keyboard

It's so sad, that he is gone ;__;

They don't care about that tiny slice.

I'm not glad he's dead but I'm glad he's gone.
It's hard to say especially so soon after his untimely death, but rms in a lot of ways has been holding the free software movement back.
We need someone like Eben Moglen to take the reins.
Dear / g /, please help me.
¿Can i play an .exe file on a mobile device with Android , or alternatively, spend the .exe to .apk format? . Thanks!
>>52495538
No.
There is a "stupid questions thread" for this stuff you know.
>>52495538
maybe

what do? should I ignore it?
I'd suggest you do as it says.

Back up your files immediately to prevent information loss, and then contact the computer manufacturer to determine if you need to repair or replace the disk.

What's your opinion on maintenance software like pic related, TuneUp and the like?
you only use it if you're literally tech retarded and don't know how to manage your system

It's the worst fucking cancer known to man. Fucking adware piece of shite. NO ONE installs them on purpose.
If you have ever installed shit like that on purpose, you should stick your dick in your cooling fans and shoot yourself.

Oh you little jumper man. I will never forget the joy you brought when someone on a LAN-Party went to the toilet and we moved you so that person's computer wouldn't boot. Bliss.

Hello lil jumper.

You mean jumpers, Molex power plugs, or PATA HDDs?

its amazing how shitty 4chan really is. tinyboard was so much more progressive in its day with implementing features long before they'd wind up on 4chan (some of which 4chan still doesn't have).
even what the crippled Manlet is running 4+4 on is better
what is your take on qr codes, does anyone actually use them? have you ever scanned one. Trying to do some research on this, please let me know your thoughts
I think the general consensus is that 1. Lots of people don't even know what they are or how to use them 2. Those that do, don't bother. If you are trying to advertise a product or Web page I wouldn't bother tbqh famicom
I'm trying to use it as a way for people to take a "how was our service" type of thing
>>52494568
I never bother with them
Why is AMD pretty much non-existent in laptops?
CPU's aside, you can barely find a laptop with a Radeon GPU in it.
The high end is pretty much Nvidia exclusive with 960m/970m and the low end is mostly Intel dominated.
What the fuck happened? Their GPU's should be perfectly up to the task so why?
>>52494513
Gee I wonder why.

you remember that noncompetitiveness court case that intel lost in europe, yeah?
weekly CRT thread
post your CRTstations boys and general CRT discussion
why dont we start by pointing out every reason CRT is superior?
crt is superior because it shortens your lifespan?
what a god
1080p and 8gigs in the 90s

the whole crt radiation thing is a myth
that was only a problem on the most prehistoric of crts (most of the decent high res ones were made in the early 2000s)

Hey, /g/,
I'm an electrical engineering student, but I'm also quite interested in stuff regarding to Computer Science, or better: the practical appliances of programming, and I've followed stuff on the internet and around here about FOSS. Since, RMS = king here I am sure some guys have an opinion on the matter I want to discuss.
(I'm talking from the perspective of electronic (Analog/RF) design, as I feel this field closely relates to software design)
I feel that in almost all possible ways Electrical Engineering is lagging behind and fails to address problems practical CE does.
FOSS or OSS or just releasing parts of the source is great! It means that I'm able to look at the source and understand what it does. But even better are the hundreds of libraries for every language with often great documentation that I can incorporate into my project directly.
All of this doesn't exist for EE. There are no libraries. If you want to design something analog you can get some component models(Inner workings of a transistor type or particular behavior of a resistor), that's pretty much all.
Projects often need stuff/building blocks like (Active)Filters/(Differential)Amplifiers/Mixers, the current practice is just reinventing the wheel and hope for the best you know your analog electronics well. Since there is no way of writing tests or specifications there is also no debugging.
Your simulation fails and that is it, back to the drawing table and get your calculator ready, solving something that has been done years before by practically everyone.
CS also likes reducing unnecessary work, and just publicize the tools for free. In EE every tool costs multiple month salaries, and often they just suck.
You can hate on the Javascript world all you want, but they have their 'remove-boilerplate' tooling everywhere. 1/2
>>52494350
2/2
When developing on FPGA boards you'll practically write >100 LOC every time you'll want to connect some entities (components). If there is any language more verbose than VHDL please state so.
FOSS Hardware seems to be growing, but it is still very small and seems to solely focus on big finished products like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Other LED-Crapboard. Just like Linux or Apache, most of you never really learn anything from the code, besides that you can easily use the software.

The nice thing about code is that it's all text. It's easy to write and share text. You can open source all the schematics you want, but you still have to pay for the components.
You could also argue that you still have a similar entry-level fee in both CS and EE. You have to buy electronics (computer) to write code. You have to buy electronics to build your circuit.
But yeah, I agree with you on the tool prices. Fairly obscene, but you get a good return in precision.
>>52494443
But what about Electronic design and simulating? That has no price till you start prototyping. And if you don't want to spend a fortune on those components it is necessary.
There is no Github for Electronics where you can just import your basic active filters. Or a library for some RF stuff. There is also no option of having things like actual libraries. I think both of these examples can be found when talking about software. Both are informational concepts that primarily hold no value, till someone...

/g/entlemen, my mom wants a facebook/pinterest/online radio laptop, specs don't matter, all I care is the built quality since she can be a bit careless
How is the built of the cheapo Lenovo laptops? what is the best quality/sturdier laptop among the ~$400 laptops? Again, it doesn't have to have really good specs, just solid construction
thanks
