Dear /g/,
What does it mean to be a Hacker?
Is it a dying activism?
I'm not talking white/gray/black hat shit.
Some are Sellouts.
Some are Righteous.
Some Greedy.
Some go to jail, commit suicide, or get paid.
In the end we are all the same.
Protecting our internet rights is all good but really we are just informing of loopholes and weaknesses in current cyber infrastructure.
What the fuck is the meaning of that?
Do we want to be remembered only as causing a need for change in a security system?
Individuals in the art may be remembered...

I think you're confused. Hacking isn't activism, its a career or a hobby, some people just hijacked it and attached it to their flavour of the week issue.
It means OP is faggot

no one uses that. they will be assimilated

>no one uses that. they will be assimilated
ergo, no one will be assimilated
Is this accurate?
it's accurate in a very broad sense. taking suggestions from comic strips and implementing them as stated is incredibly retarded, however.
Yes, why would someone lie on the internet?
just use lastpass and the like

I've migrated to a Droid Maxx but it's just not the same, Motorola is fucking up their lines too. Does anyone else feel like smartphones are turning to shit now? Any good obscure devices you prefer? Is hope lost?

>shit battery
This really was the worst part about the phone.
Switched to an LG G4 some time ago and I´d wish I could have it´s hardware in the nexus5´s case since the size was perfect.
buy an htc. you'll have some inspired shit
anyway, I know how N5 is great can replace it
>>55218865
Someone put a G2 battery in their Nexus and posted a guide to Reddit, but I feel like mine would blow up or suddenly die after a while with one
What are /g/ method of learning a programming language to the point of being a expert?
Writing programs in it.

What kind of reactions can I expect when I use my thinkpad in public?

boos and hisses
why the stigma with razer /g/? I don't get it. I have so far only used their mouse, but its the only mouse i have ever used. 3 different kinds over 9 years.
Is this just /g/ hate or is there more to it?
Even the worst companies can have a good product or two.
>>55218235
pretty sure the only good thing they have made is the mouse.
>>55218931
Their headsets are actually surprisingly good as well. Excellent mic and the speakers are good enough. Not at all worth full price, but not a bad choice if they're on sale.
>>55218235
Generally, their products are low cost to manufacture and sell with a high markup due to the fact that they market to gaymer kiddies. Mst times you could find a much higher quality product for the same price.
I need to know more about elixir
Seems like a cool language how do I start getting involved and coding for it? Don't care if it won't take off just wanna functional programming language to get into. This one seems like its worth it
I kinda need to be baby stepped into this. Never done open source shit before only school projects with classmates
>>55217820
is this what comes with laravel?
>>55217820
it's a dynamically typed functional language with very little support anon... really depends on what you want to do?
Webdev? Use Phoenix
Server backend? Xen
Anything other than that doesn't have a framework and needs to be created from scratch
>>55217929
Even though Phoenix is shaping up to be a great framework, it's also possible to use raw Plug to write some very simple services.
Elixir (mostly using Phoenix) has replaced Node as my default answer for one-off API projects these days.

>an extension that literally does nothing but play the john cena theme when clicked has triple the active userbase of an extension I actually make money off of
>something that is amusing has triple the active userbase of something shitty that i made
honestly what are you greentexting? your own worthlessness? your lamentation that people entertain themselves before sucking your dick? what kind of autistic retarded faggot are you?
>>55217228
Make a better extension
>>55217228
make same one but playing it 2x louder
What happened to Dual CPU gaming mobos?
>>55217205
CPU's got more cores and games don't use them.

This
I dont know if I should get an i7 Quad or wait for an Octacore Zen
>>55217357
I highly doubt that Zen will outperform a 6700K or 4790K.
On the other hand, I prefer AMD because I don't need to thrown a shitton of money at my PC to get performance, AND have features like IOMMU for VGAPassthrough.
The fuck are you supposed to do with 1 Terabyte of storage, let alone on an SSD.
Do you have any use for this amount of storage space /g/ while still needing to be accessed quickly, and if so what is it?
You can watch 4k porn off them no problem
Video editing
HD Anime BD Rips
Why can't I play my radio's phono output through my TV's component video input? Is it just refusing to work without signal through the composite video jack? Or is there some fundamental technical aspect that I'm overlooking?
(Should have specified: *through the stereo audio channels of my TV's component input)
I'd think the same thing about the video signal, but really you should get sound. Try another amp, or give it a video signal just to test like from a VCR etc
at least some modern tvs will mute the audio unless there's a video signal available on that input
also, of course, ensure the tv is on the correct input
Redpill me on a 2013 Chromebook Pixel
I'd get it used, bought off ebay for a lot less than retail, probably like $400
I wouldn't bother with chromeOS, I'd throw Arch on it as soon as it showed up.
I want something light, my curent laptop is an X200 and it's heavy as shit
I want something with a good screen resolution and aspect ratio. The screen i'm typing on can barely show white, it's just all yellow, but at least it's 16:10. I'd be okay with 16:9 as long as it isn't 1366x768.
I want a non-ass...

Is there a better laptop for this use case?

The cruft on the search key? Yeah used ain't ideal but any new laptop would go way beyond $500
