Hi /g, I want to buy a cheap laptop with some good gaming capabilities. What would you recommend? I was thinking about an Asus x550jx, because I have a 4gb memory laying around
Post your thread on /wsr/ and I will help you. Delete this one if you can.

I bought it last month, pretty good
What did he.mean by this?
>>55221938
That you should use google, retard
he meant that hdds are obsolete pieces of trash that are slow and constantly dying and you need to buy an ssd.
It means it's time to live dangerously and disable SMART error reporting.
So when will we see a new mice with a better sensor? Tired of these ugly ass mice with the best sensor on the market. Zowie really needs to step their game up.
>literally only matters if you play fps
Please grow up OP

>ugly ass mice
You need to show your LAN party friends that you have a riced out mouse? I bet you think Nexus fans are "ugly" and would rather buy a shittier fan because it fits your "case color scheme"? Am I even close to right?
Seriously, why aren't build quality, sensor quality, button quality, performance and price higher on the list?
>>55221895
It is anon. The Pixart 3366 is the best sensor on the market besides the MLT04. And the switches on the G303 and G502 are also the best switches on the market.
Also I don't want a riced out mouse, just a fucking mouse with a better sensor and button switches. I actually prefer a mouse that doesn't look riced out. Im a fan of Zowie and their aesthetics.
How do I find a job in IT-related stuff? I'm a CS grad with some post-grad studies.
install gentoo.
>>55221733
Jesus Christ. Colleges really need to stress internships for CS and CiS majors. Go to craigslist, indeed, glass door, linkedin, and anywhere else you can find. If you took a Cisco class they have a job searching tool or you can look for Cisco partners.
Make a resume. Apply for job. Don't show up to the interview in a t shirt wear a proper button up and tie. Thank the interviewer for his time at the end.
Basically learn how to look for a job. Why are new grads so dumb?
>>55221906
Universities that don't force people to take an internship are either preparing them for grad school or sucking money out of them.

>The real reason I use windows is because gtk* makes me feel uneasy and KDE is gay nowdays.
gtk2 master race
I'd like to switch back to Windows after 3 years with Linux, but it's such a clusterfuck of complete shit. Waaaay worse than dealing with the occasional bug on Linux.
I use windows because it has games and Linux is Jewish software designed to destroy white capitalism and replace it with communism
So, I have a buddy who got a 3D printer and I'm wondering if (and or how) it's possible to take 3D models from Steam Games (like Borderlands 2) and put them into a 3D printer to print models of them?
I am moderately proficient with 3DS max if that helps.
technically possible? sure, the how depends on the game and how it stores the models, as well as the availability of software that can handle the format the models are in
>>55221475
Use a 3D ripper to dump the models while playing. Basically dumps all geometry loaded in the video card at the time.

Linux is a sinking ship! Your time is limited before you're at the bottom of the systemd ocean. Luckily, there is a rescue boat arriving. It's called BSD. Free of the grasp of Lennart, Linus, or Commie Richard, and the cancerous GPL, it is the second greatest family of operating system ever devised after TempleOS. Will you come into our loving arms, or die a fool?
there is always windows. ;^)
On a serious note, i gave some thought on using FreeBSD on my desktop. But it's not there yet. Running it in on a server sounded alright, tho i didn't see many advantages to running something i don't know nearly as much as linux

Mycroft got to 0.7
It's getting really good
And I'm not even paid to shill
I only wish that Mycroft devs would marry the Lucida (Sirius) devs and merge both projects together into ultimate FOSS AI assistant.
https://github.com/MycroftAI
https://github.com/claritylab/lucida
Are any of these actually good? How do you use "personal assistants?"
>>55221447
this, i don't quite get how this is meant to be used
>>55221447
Currently they are still very basic.
They will need a lot more functionality to become useful for most people.
But those two have the most potential, and currently they are the best that FOSS community has to offer.
hey, i had to switch to C from Java and Python, what are the best C ecosystems to code in? I need something simple and clear, beginner friendly mostly for MAC
and if u know good books or channels to start with, let me know
>>55221280
Just read K&R
>>55221280
best is subjective. i mostly code C in sublime text or vim and use make for builds. it is ok, i would prefer a nice C ide but xcode is shit for c/c++ and qtcreator has some annoying bugs. clion requires cmake which i dont want. on windows visual studio is pretty good although you are limited to C99 with msvc.

The world’s largest fried chicken chain has come up with a wacky new idea that will fill your stomach as well as your iPhone.
As part of a promotion in India, KFC has introduced a new limited edition “Watt A Box” that packs all the greasy finger-lickin’ chicken you could want, along with with a USB port and portable battery that eaters can use to recharge their iPhones with while grubbing.
Watt A Box packs a 6,100mAh rechargeable battery and a Lightning USB cable. There’s also a mini-USB port for Android users, and it appears that the battery can be removed and reused
Unfortunately, it’s currently only available at a couple of locations in Delhi and Mumbai as part of a weeklong promotion through Facebook. No word on if the box will ever make its way to the U.S., but I’m not sure I’d be willing to eat at KFC just to get one anyway.

What will Android N be named?
My bet is on "Nutella" via a licensing deal with Ferrero (much like Google's deal with Nestle to use the name "Kitkat").

I'm 23 and I just started seriously programming, I've been programming since I was 16 though. is it too late?
>>55220839
it was always too late
Probably.
Depends on your general mindset.
Do you dream in code?
