Why did nobody celebrate or even mention his Birthday? Isn't /g/ a computer focused tech board?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konrad_Zuse
>>55447585
He's more of a Aeronautic guy then a computer guy.
Besides his mechanical calculators where beast.
But he's more of a Faust character in the history of computers.
He sold himself willing to the nazi party so that he could work in his passion of computers.
And for that reason you won't see him on google as the highlight of the day.
No one cares for a sellout.
>>55447585
Also unless you're literally watching all the HIstory channels documentaries about computers no one mentions him.
I don't think he was a Nazi. He just did whatever necessary to follow his obsession and to survive.
Planing on buying this as a secondary computernfor me, and primary for my gf so we could play some games together. Probably only those which are heavy on the cpu since it has intel graphics or some shit. Is it a good deal?

Don't buy that one. I'll look on your Kijiji for something better.

message this guy, get him down to $275, and buy a new case for it.

this is a good option.
>>55447517
Buy an a8 7600 with ddr3 2133 or 2400mhz ram. It'll be cheap and it'll run most games fine on low or medium.
Alternatively, buy an optiplex and gtx950/480 for much better performance

Are gaming chairs a meme? What chairs do you guys use?
>>55447480
I sat in one at a store and I still don't understand them.
They set out to make them look like something from a race car or sports cars, but its stupid, they make them with aggressive bolsters to keep you in your seat, not for comfort.

Eurotech ioo
Got it for $200 used in like new condition
It has pretty much all the features you see in chairs that are twice its price

Hi, /g/ I have a monitor question. I would want to upgrade to dual or triple monitors from what I am using now which is a 60" tv, but I don't really know what to go with. I was either looking at 2 acer x34 predators or 3 asus rog swift PG27AQ 27" or am I being retarded like always and there is something better. My budget is $2500-$3000. here is my speccy. plz help they will mostly be used for gaming.
Ultrawides are best as a single monitor.
If you want the best, consider 3 x XB271HU OR 3 x PG279Q.
Note that they are IPS 1440p 144Hz and have minor quality control issues. If you want a more consistent panel 3 x S2716DG is a good choice but it's TN.
4K is not worth it with SLI 980s. 1440p G-SYNC is better.
>>55447907
alright cool thanks for the info, would you recommend buying a 3 monitor stand or are the factory stands good enough. my desk doesn't have a ton of room but it is decent size.
>>55448149
Factory stands are good on the Asus and Dell, the Acer's acceptable but not as good as the other two.
Read up some monitor reviews, TFT central and PCmonitors are good resources. Don't just buy blindly.
Looking to update my wireless router. Currently I'm looking at the asus rt-ac66u, good choice or should I be looking elsewhere?
You get what you pay for, except for the WRT54g
Great choice. I've had one for about a year. Handles all my server traffic without issue. Also it's compatible with the Tomato firmware, which is awesome.
>>55447391
Fantastic choice.
I have the RT-N66U (basically older version of this) and it's hands down the best router I've ever had by a long margin.
Does anyone here have a Ducky Secret mouse?
How is the build quality?
Are the buttons loose, does it rattle?
What are it's flaws?
>>55447348
It's perfect for me. I like no drivers.
People complain about needing to take it completely apart to adjust the weight. These people are retards. You change it once, maybe twice to find your preference, then you put it back together and never touch it again. I don't see why people find that an issue.
>>55447348
>>55448158
And about build quality, I'm very happy with it. The buttons feel amazing. I really like the mouse wheel too, although if you prefer free spinning wheels you'll definitely have a problem. The wheel requires more force and is quite tactile.
The sensor is flawless as far as I can tell. No acceleration or other bullshit.
It just werks, and doesn't look like gamer trash.
can anyone recommend me a good usb mouse that works with linux?
i don't game btw, just need it for my laptop because i get tired of the trackpad.
prove me wrong. protip: [spoiler]you can't[/spoiler]
ONLY people who used 8.1>10>7>8>vista
Bitch please, Vista/7 kicks 8.1's ass.
Windows is the best. Now give me the rupees you promised me

It was a long time since I did this shit, I have a file called modemst 1 and one that's called modemst 2, are they backups?

What are you worried about losing / what recovery are you using? I recently updated from optimized 12.1 to optimized cm13 using TWRP and it went flawlessly with a dalvik wipe, ROM flash and nano gapps 6.0
Is it possible to partially format a HDD ?
I'd like to wipe my unwritten sector's without having to format the whole disk and without having to partition the disk.
Is this possible ?

This.

Hi /g/. I tried /biz/ but they didn't really elaborate so here goes. Hopefully someone knows something.
I'm studying mathematics and want work in finance related jobs. Doing high-level probability and combining it with computer science (ML, AI maybe data mining).
How would I go about in making myself attractive to employers?
I assume pick all stats and comp sci courses I can.
Any good projects I should focus on? Are there resources available? Can't find a lot about this topic.
My main city of interest is Stockholm and perhaps...

predictions are alright until something happens.
look into bizz if you want to harmonize your skill with money (sheeky forums is 4 chan and), all those shill sites are embedding harmful scripts on your localStorage.

Become a Stock analist.
Pick up basic anything databases and website related.
Stick with the Math and you're gucci.
That is if you want to be totally burned out in the next 12 years .
>>55447248
I don't see being burned out as a problem, if I get a good reward for it. Since this fucking math education is burning me out constantly, but I know I'm buying a future, right?
>>55447237
Could you elaborate?
