Advice needed.
I work from home. I need a nice fast laptop that will support multi tasking and especially multi tasking while I am in my meetings all day which is run through Google Hangouts. (lot of streaming/lag time) I was thinking a high end Lenovoa Thinkpad. Wont be used for gaming and wont need storage. I was thinking purely ram/processor power. Is a higher end Lenova thinkpad good?
Specifically which Lenova Thinkpad should I get? There are a lot of models (being mobile or detachable is not needed)
Thanks
depends on your budget
the Thinkpad T450s is god tier. If you're not on a cheap budget, get it.
OP here. Around 1k
I prefer just a laptop, not touchscreen or detachable or the ones that are marketed to be super mobile.
Anyone else getting one?

LED lightbulbs are technology, right?
I need help choosing one for lightning a relatively large room, around 15 square meters i guess, and i will use 5 of them. It has to be E14 btw.
I have 3 4W white lightbulbs and 2 5W warm ones now (all led) and while not dim it's just not bright enough to healthily read in the screen for hours. Like I have to really lower the screens brightness compared to when there's daylight and even then it sucks. This might also be because of the light color.
I found the likes of pic related which are 11-13€ a lightbulb...

Lights should always be amber, fucking nobody wants BRIGHT FUCKING WHITE or slightly blue pisslights making their home look like a hospital
>>52334824
maybe i can get 3 of those 7W 490lumen (allegedly, by a meme tier brand) since they are cheaper, and keep the 2 warm ones i have to compensate, what do you thing?
it's either that or spending 50€ on the osram ones
>>52334715
>E14
Your options will be very limited. What sort of fixture is this? All the good bulbs are E26. They do make adapters but they're not tiny.
So now that our desktop is working well enough does anyone to add me on steam?

What's the best version of windows to run objectively?
Feeling like 7 is the ring-a-ding-ding winner because you're able to gut it a lot more than 8 or 10, so you can have a lot more optimal performance.
Pavanjeet pick a better thread to shill im already on your side.
Gentooman don't have a go at me, I primarily run gnu+Linux on my systems.
Argue with me /g/

no gwx.exe, no telemetry.
>What's the best version of windows to run objectively?
I like to run my windows subjectively.
10 just seems a bit too invasive for me. Being able to disable hardware and software when they want and being able to read and disseminate my emails and shit. Nah, I'd rather go Linux when Windows 7 support ends.

Oh look: it's another Telegram shill thread, courtesy of Pavel Durov's PR department. Fortunately, I have pasta in the fridge from the last time.
tl;dr: Telegram sucks. For a phone messenger, today, use Signal instead.

Fuck off google shill.
>- Signal requires Google Cloud Messaging to wakelock phones on message delivery (but not FOR message delivery) - unfortunately GCM is the only reliable supported wakelock on Android 6.x+. [There is a nogapps Websockets fork - https://github.com/xmikos/fdroiddata - but that will drain your battery: that's the price you pay for no wakelocks.]
It's even worse, the calls don't work at ALL...

Closing comment: Whisper should be campaigning FOR removing the dependency on companies and organisations KNOWN to have gross overarching power, not further entrenching it. At least ALL of Telegram's functionality works without Google Apps /and/ without the Google network infrastructure. Being dependent on GOOGLE but proclaiming an interest in privacy or security cannot be done with any intellectual honesty.
Why is Debian the best Linux distro?

Why aren't you using Debian /g/?

CentOS fits all those criteria better.
Hey guys, I'm trying to find the product key for the office software I bought in 2013. I just got a new computer and I'm transferring some files. For some reason gmail deleted all of my emails from more than a year ago that I have saved. I have tried to go into regedit and I couldn't find anything under office. I'm wondering if there is another way to find the product license key on my old computer?

Just pirate it senpai, if company makes their DRM too troublesome, they don't deserve the money
>>52334213
thanks

where's the best download? tpb? Honestly, I don't know much about this stuff usually just go to /sp/. I'm just pissed I can't find the product key that I bought from 2013 and I thought there should be a way to look it up through office.
God fucking damn it

Hey 4chan.co/mg/
1st trime of the website
i jsust wanted to ask
why doesnt some company just make better processors than i7 like im thinking abouyt making a company and making i8s and maybe i9s.
lol why is intel retarded?
Good luck, Jeff
>>52333135
thanks dude
im thinking about namiing it JeffComputersINC0RPIRATED
>>52333158
Can you also make those processors bigger? This way they can simultaneously be both more powerful and disperse heat more effectively.
What are the first 3 things you install? (exclude the OS)
>>52332888
A proper theme
UFW
Firefox
chrome
deluge
open office
python, mpv, youtube-dl
I have 2 identical wifi adapters. Can I use one for upload and one for download? Is this stupid?
Yes.
Yes it's retarded because you usually can't have more than one wifi connection at a time.
>>52332878
But why? I read a few places that you can totally have multiple wifi connections, but they'll act independently. Couldn't I make my computer see one as strictly up and the other as strictly down? Or at least limit the up/down on each one?
Any one who has given up Linux like pic related.

I have but I still avoid all Google services and Chrome and I still don't have a Facebook account.
how could one argue it costs millions, if not billions a year from "piracy" when all you're doing is making digital copies of a digital product? making copies of a digital song and the like is the equivalent of star trek replicator technology that created more supply than demand that it caused the elimination of wages since everything became virtually free.
yes it costs that initial sum to first create the product, but production cost afterwards is near zero. there is no way a single song, or an album costs millions, or billions to initially create. maintenance...

The "cost" is a total of what it takes to make the product + (the important part) whatever they feel like charging for their profit.
If a movie already earned what it took to make plus an extra 50 million then well, they got paid already.
So to make dvd's all they need to do is charge whatever they need to charge to cover what it takes to make the dvd and whatever they want to charge as profit. They used to charge like 10-15 bucks but now that blurays are out they said fuck it let's try and get them to pay 10 dollars for a 4 in 1 dvd case.

production after initial cost to produce is near zero. once cost to recoup initial production cost is covered, everything after that is pure profit.
a movie like the latest star wars movie not only recouped the cost of production at box the office, they already made hundreds of millions in profit.
most musicians make their income from tours, not album sales. and cost to initially produce music isn't anywhere close to the initial production of motion pictures. most cost for musicians is the time...

Well it's quite simple indeed.
People who complain about piracy poorly evaluated the market in the first place, and assumed "piracy", or copying, was wrong when it's rightfully part of it. They are responsible themselves for their wonky business models even when everyone told them it was wrong.
Now let's be honest, it's because the market has been profitable, as most people didn't pirate, that plenty great things saw the light of day, otherwise there would have never been enough money to make it happen. But then companies starting running at a rhythm far above of what they can afford.
Now there are other things you can sell, like services. Just look at how Blizzard made all its money with easy to pirate games but a killer online mode that would check for your authentic copy. Just look at how Apple made a ton of money selling players of pirated music.
But hey, that would require entering a new market, and companies are not quite ready. They know full well the era of selling digital content will soon end, despite claiming the opposite and still calling "pirates" anyone who exerts his ability to copy, but they'll complain until it's buried.
