Hey /g/ I'm an idiot
I am in the process of building a new computer. For some reason I have everything wired and then I power it on and the CPU fan starts going but the GPU Fan doesn't. I can provide pictures if you guys want I wired it like a fucking moron but now I don't have my main computer because I used the psu from it and fucked it up in the process. Can you guys please help me I've been trying for 3 months to put this together and I've searched a ton before I came here for help
Thanks a lotfick

Is that you? You look like you have a semi in the second picture
Does it boot? Is the GPU working aside from the fans?
>>47053558
Did you build the CPU and GPU yourself?
Do we live in a post-functional world, /g/?

A Ceo doesn't need a million ports. A UX researcher doesn't need a million ports. I know two of these people, and they use MacBook airs. Maybe they would use this new MacBook if it was out earlier.
They need portability.
Best books on computers and programming? I'll start
I really enjoyed this
SICP, CLRS, TAOCP holy trinity reporting in.
The cover is so goofy but it's a legit book.
The first edition also has a dragon and a knight on it but I think this one looks funnier.

Where do you usually buy replacement nibs for the digitizers of the tablets?
On eBay I only found the digitizers themselves.

I bought a car today, and there was an R51 in the back seat that the owner said didn't work. It has no HDD and no charger. How did I do /gee/?
Would you trust anyone to use your computer?
>tfw shitloads of porn everywhere so probably not
No.
sure, they're probably not going to deliberately look for porn anyways.
besides, a lot of people watch porn, so it's not strange to find it on a PC
No, unless I know they're competent enough to not install random shit.

Haskell is undeniably, completely, and truly the best programming language. Whoever disagrees is objectively wrong.
>>47046246
I am disagreeing.
It's okay.
>>47046246
Haskell is simply Idris for retarded babbies.

I got this for $660
SSD, i5, 8 gigs of ram
Dell elitebook 2540p refurbished. Got in on sale on newegg for like 230. i7 4g ram 240gb hd fully loaded version. Honestly go look for it on newegg right now and you can get it for cheap. They were originally 1200 new. Very good laptop imo

Can anyone identify this mini laptop for me?
>>47036305
It's a generic Chinese 5" UMPC, that's sold under many different brands. You can find them on Dealextreme and alibaba.
They still make them for some reason.
>>47036341
I can't find any of these. the only cheap generic things that keep coming up are those 7inch netbooks that run android.
>>47036305
I found one but in white and :

OK, I'm going to be the edgy contrarian here and come out and say it:
This isn't *THAT* bad a product.
Yes, it's shit by the standards of what Apple was doing under Steve Jobs.
But it's still better than some of the retarded shit that's out there these days.
> No porths!!!
You don't understand the product concept if you think this machine needs ports. It's meant to compete with those fagoty half tablet, half laptop things that other companies are doing these days. It's a facebook machine and it doesn't announce itself as being more than one.
> Mobile processor!
See above.
> $1200!
Man, Google routinely charges 1200 bucks for computers that LITERALLY don't have storage and don't work unless you're connected to the internet. I fail to see how 1200 for a sexy, thin, but underpowered laptop is unprecedentedly crazy in today's market.
I think you guys are being a bit too harsh on this. This is a clear sign in my eyes that the anti-Apple crusaders online are now a bigger cult than the Apple fanboys; even Marques Brownlee liked the new MacBook and he's usually pretty harsh on Apple. Every other publication gave it good reviews and everyone likes the new trackpad.
IN THE MEANTIME I won't be buying one personally because I think the whole category of netbooks is stupid and I don't care about lightness as much as Apple seems to think I should. I also dislike the lack of key travel.
>>47044764
They should have released a ipad pro with detachable keyboard instead of this thing.
But yes all this apple hate attitude on /g/ is of infantile retard mentality.
>>47044764
good points OP, everyone in here is fucking angry as if Apple is holding a gun to their heads and making them buy this products, faggots, this Macbook isn't targeted for you, they still have pro line products like Macbook Pro, and if you really need power they have TrashCan Mac Pro.
Don't get angry at something that isn't for you.
I don't believe that computer is worth half its asking price so I won't be buying one. Its a gimped status symbol and nothing more.
Oh my fucking god I can't believe this shit. I'm so angry I can barely type right now. Pic related is the worst piece of technology I have ever bought in my life.
This shit OVERHEATS like a motherfucker. It gets to 90º just browsing.
I don't know what to do anymore. I've tried turning up the fans but that just makes it louder. I've read it might be a problem with Flash, but I can't just stop using it when 90% of the sites use it.
Man, fuck Apple so hard. Why is this allowed.
Just werks for me. :^)
