I just built my first pc. What are the essential programs I should download? I already got winrar, a torrenting program, and a media player. I'm mostly looking for an anti-virus program.
VLC media player, Firefox 64/Waterfox, Steam.
Antivirus programs are memes, just get a javascript blocker (I use Ublock Origin)
If you're really dull and desperate enough to use antivirus, use NOD32. Everything else slows down your computer.
Just stick to software from the official repos and you should be fine
Check the sticked wiki.
Hey /g/, I am a total newbie to programming. Everybody is telling me to learn Python, but there is only so much you can do alone. Do you have any advice, how to go about learning programming?

python is a meme language
Python will make you a bad coder.
Learn C and Scheme.
Gotta guy on Craigs' selling an old PowerMac G5 for $75.
I'm a Windows-Linux guy, but hell, $75? It's IBM based and fancy metal.
I can at least bag it for tunes-vids-dabbling right?
Is it a 50-pound paperweight or a decent deal?
>Is it a 50-pound paperweight
you answered your own question
>>51307324

$75 bucks is alright
What you really bought was the beautiful case and (if you wanted) the little stuff the internals can run

this makes me sad
>>51307245
me too! it means there will be shitty courses (or maybe even demos) for free and the good ones for paid accounts.

But they still have their free service, right?
What does /g/ thinkk about more obscure TLDs?

icann wants money
Waste of money.
So apparently firstname.wf is available and I have an international first name, should I get it?
Why are cellphones so expensive?
Lots of miniaturization.

Hey Ni/g/gas so I got ahold of a defunct OG Xbox (capacitor juice ate through the mobo, so I skinned it) and are proposing 2 purposes for it. Either HTPC (Most likely) or a portable LAN party PC.
Yeah I know
>vidya >>>>>>>/v/
If y'all have any other suggestions, like actual productivity out of this project I'm eager to learn (Like I dunno some sort of server?) Life isn't always about vidya, netflix, and crunchyroll.
In your opinion what exactly would be a more rewarding route for me to go on? A scrapyard wars type of deal? Or simple APU build and get it over with?
I don't have any extra tech (besides my laptop's old hard drive) and none of my friends had an old build/spare parts to spare.
Main objective is to stuff it with decent internals (for whichever purpose it goes to) without sacrificing the looks of it.
And yes I will install Gentoo on it.
Shove your sick in it.

If you intend to get into electronics as a hobby, scavenge it for parts, desolder everything, look it up, label and store it and save the case, use it for whatever you feel you will actually be using, a media center or a NAS or whatever you like, it's a hueg case, doesn't seem very practical for anything involving the word 'portable'.
>>51306739
Just do an apu build, that case will be to claustraphobic for anything else worth while
Does anyone else agree with me that apple products have a strange allure that you can't really explain?
>marketing
That was a difficult explanation, I'd better sit down and rest a tick.
>>51306732
It's a feeling that comes while using apple products though
>>51306723
Yeah i get what you mean.
Every time i use an Apple product i get the sudden urge to suck a guys dick.

>TTC?
The Teaching Company, they do lecture style courses in both video and audio format. There's also TMS, The Modern Scholar, their major competitor.
Good stuff once you narrow down to the topics that interest you. TTC is very ISP nastygram-centric, so avoid grabbing them from public trackers.

is there any hope bros?
Found a wireless FM mic hidden in my office today. Looks similar to this.
I'm not in a position with sensitive information, and while I think I know who the culprit is, I'd like to discover any other devices planted around our office. I've left this one in place, fed it some false information to see if it's acted upon. What tools do I need to preform a proper sweep against listening devices? I'm worried that some of these might be hardwired into things like our wall sockets and other places, and I don't want to rip out the entire office...

sounds like you need a "bug detector"
what type of work do you do?.
do you think it is a co worker?
>>51306570
Almost certainly my current supervisor attempting to hold on to his job by catching my conversations. Other people have made accusations of knowing about stuff discussed between them and one other person, and I've got semi-proof that he's been reading the email of other employees, specifically our general manager.
I'm currently just a newer IT guy for this company, but I was hired on to replace this fellow eventually. This has caused him a great deal of stress, as he doesn't want to give...

That ones pretty cute.
The Acer and Asus ones are nice too.
>>51306523 (cont.)
If you go with HP or Acer you're getting 2gb for $200 while the Asus model (below) has 4gb for the same price.
