Hello /g/ I've never really owned a laptop before so I know fuck all about what is good and what is shit.
I'm going to have to buy a laptop for school soon, I'm almost exclusively going to program on it, it doesn't have to be anything great, it just has to work.
I'm trying to spend the absolute minimum amount possible and get a decent working laptop, what do you suggest? Help a retard out.
Hang yourself, it will literally solve all of your problems.
Or go to /wsr/. Either way is fine with us.

Thanks I think I'll go with the former.

I'm tired of my high Directv bill for the shit I get. I can download my favorite TV shows but am wondering if anyone has cut the cable and what do you do if you want to watch cable news, I'm in the USA? I like watching CNN, Foxnews and such it sucks trying to find a youtube stream.

Of you live in a city of over 15,000 buy a good quality over the air tv antenna and mount it on your house. You'll get all the news you'll need. Even more stuff if you're in a big city

Pathetic how the first thread is all about linux and "installgentoo" but 99% of the threads here are about fucking graphic cards.
Who cares about your shit graphic cards and how shit you are. Real ops don't need any graphic but a simple tty and 100GB internet connection.
Who here are real ops ?

Install Gentoo
Good bait I think?
>>55307013
I just don't get what's so "hot" about graphic cards. Hell, you pay 800$ hardware so you can play a shitty game 90$ game at 100FPS.
Rinse and repeat every 2year.

I'm coming back to Arch after a while, and want to know: what's the best desktop environment these days?
Unity
Well I kind of like xfce4, I find it way more customizable than gnome
>>55306967
Also, it is so light. Install a good theme and Compton, then enjoy. I tried Gnome, Cinnamon, KDE, Mate, i3. Honestly, Xfce is the best DE I ever used, nu plans to change it. Really hope the development team will not abandon it.
I just got my SICP today.
What should I expect?

Nothing

Already have it anon.

So who else is jumping ship now that AMD is proven to be hopeless?
Gonna sell my 390 soon

I have to wonder, what did people like you expected from a 200$ card? Who's the one saying that it will out perform a $500 Nvidia top of line card?
Just who is this hacker 4chan?

Hey /g/, I am looking to move away from government surveillance in the US. What countries would be best for the government not spying on you while still being relatively livable?

Come to Russia, buddy.

Maybe Romania or Swetzerland
How good is you battery life /g/?
my Oneplus 2 gets a pretty consistent 5-6 hours onscreen time with moderate usage over a couple of days. Pretty happy
3-4 days

Update
Leaked benchmarks are putting the 480 a little below the Zotac 970 AMP! Nvidia shills have been claiming that a 480 will lose to a standard 970.
Here are benchmarks of that particular card versus reference 980s.
We also have to understand that the 480 is also reference. And it appears the cooler is garbage, as expected.
Imagine the people using the rx480 with an older or weaker cpu, with the massive overhead they'll see even worse performance, unless gaming at 1440p or 4k

What technology device should I use to keep myself away from the bombers /g/? Should I carry a portable jammer valise?

Yeah, stay in Boston or New York. You will totally be safe.
So I've got a question for you /g/ents. I have a .mp3 @ 320kbps and a .m4a @ 128kbps. They both "mostly" cut off at 16 khz except that the mp3 has some signal that goes up to 22 khz. Is the "blue stuff" just noise or is it highs that are part of the song? If it's just noise then the .m4a would be the preferable choice due to size right?
m4a
>>55306454
I don't know anything specific about the mp3 standard, but I am aware that it takes into account human psychoacoustics in effort to eliminate data that the human auditory system can't detect (frequencies higher than ~22kHz, spectra with more timbre than we can distinguish, etc.)
Something tells me that mp3 blue stuff is supposed to be there, and provides potentially better fidelity than the m4a.
Then again m4a is newer, so the standard may have been designed with a better understanding of...

An additional observation, it seems the extra spectra in the mp3 graph turns on and off when needed. Invariably these sections take more information to encode, so perhaps this behavior is an attempt to keep file size low, but keep fidelity high.
