You have 10 seconds to explain why I shouldn't get this and have 1 TB online storage for 4 years for only $80.
Because in the past Microsoft has reduced the amount of storage they give people and they can/will do it again.
>>51300553
Because you can buy a 1TB HDD for less than $50 and have it forever, at faster speeds, and no bullshit tracking and file scanning.

Why does /g/ hate java so bad?
>Inb4 its not C
If Java had true garbage collection, it would delete itself
Because they don't understand it.

What are /g/'s thoughts on Office 2016? Worth the upgrade from 2013?
Its being offered from HUP for $11 like 2013 was so if there's any noticeable improvements I figure why not.
Got it free from uni. I like it.
this design
>>51300463
It's not worth it. If you already can do everything you need why do you figure that you need to spend $11.
Okay, /g/, this is a major reason for concern.

Why the fuck is no one on /g/ even the slightest bit worried?

Seriously, what steps should we do to mitigate the damage? Apparently, it targets all distros.
Just don't visit shady websites and you're fine.
If you care about security you're running Qubes anyway, so a ransomware is a nonconcern. Honestly if your computer gets compromised while using Linux it simply means you're the equivalent of a poser and you'd be better off using Windows or OS X.
You're supposed to know how to deal with these kind of things if you call yourself a Linux user.
>>51300431
Seriously, why the fuck aren't you guys concerned?
The havoc done to servers would be catastrophic, to say nothing about users of the server.
Help me decide which one is better. Ignore the Spanish, you get the specs.
>>51300251
>you get the spics
>>51300251
depends on what you're doing with it but i'd get the 8 giga one since an i5 is perfectly fine for most stuff. you'll most likely be needing the ram more than extra cpu power
>>51300251
got any more details on the CPUs? what models are the i5 and i7?
I have an old Windows Vista laptop, 1gb of Ram and just generally really slow to run windows. What type of Linux would be best? I want something that will breed new life into machine.
I forgot to mention that I have no prior knowledge with Linux.
>>51300109
I've tried all of them - lubuntu, puppy, elementary, debian, you name it. They we're either slow and/or ugly and unintuitive as fuck.
Now I'm back to windows and I'm the happiest person with shit laptop alive.
>>51300109
I stuck lubuntu on an old notebook (intel atom, 2gb ram) and used it for running a media server and browsing the web; was ok

former NSA director Bill Biney is doing a verified AMA on reddit

>>51300107
Alerting /g/ during the AMA would have been quite a poor decision.
"did" an AMA I should say

Go back to reddit then. You're not welcome here.
Are waifus passed by reference or value?
>>51299861
hopefully by value, I rather have a copy than experiencing a race condition :3
>>51299861
I'd rather by value. I don't my waifu getting into other functions. If she's not with me she should be removed from the stack.
>>51300068
or worse, you might 'operate' on your waifu while other parallel functions is doing the same thing...
Which programming skill out of these isn't incredibly hard and can make OK freelance money?
(I'm interested in freelance only, and I don't plan on to sell my stuff.)
>WinAPI programming
>Linux distro creation and programming
>Linux kernel module programming
How did you boil it down to those choices?
gonna have to go with the non-freetard option.
>>51299826
he only knows C
>> Hand written binary code
>> Cryptographic algorithms development
>> Compiler development

Was thinking of getting this.

Fedora 23 is out.
Any reason to switch or should I stick with Debian?
It has Wayland. Switch, faggot.
>>51299711
What's Wayland and why should I care?
If Fedora seems a better fit for you, switch.
If it does not, don't switch.
I'm using it and I like it, but I don't see many use cases fitting both of them.

What will happen to the computer hardware industry when 3D printers will be good enough to print your own parts at home ? Also, will an era of "free hardware" begin ?
What do you think ?
It won't happen soon. Shit's expensive as fuck
Sure, let me just print this metal and transistors.
>>51299636
Doubt it. 3d printers are still pretty shitty
