should i buy a gaming laptop? and how do they compete with desktops?
pic not related
>>55207489
They really can't compete with high end desktops.
$1300 gaming laptops can compete with $500 gaming PCs but you get portability, built in screen, etc... You know what you're getting into.
If you want moderate gaming capabilities with portability then get one. If you're just going to use it to shitpost on 4chan in your room then build a PC.
No, they can't compete.
I'm a tech retard and even I know you only buy a 'gaming' laptop if:
You can't assemble it custom yourself.
You move around a lot, such as a student and want to keep your shit together and ready to move, fast, but as a student there's better, more pressing shit to drop 800-1300 dollars on.
You like to collect rice laptops.
The potato is a starchy, tuberous crop from the perennial nightshade Solanum tuberosum L. The word "potato" may refer either to the plant itself or to the edible tuber.[2] In the Andes, where the species is indigenous, there are some other closely related cultivated potato species. Potatoes were introduced outside the Andes region approximately four centuries ago,[3]
I have access to system cmd (the one at login screen) and have non admin account that is part of a domain. Admins didn't block system repair option so I can redact files on hard drive. My aim is to make the system see the PC I'm using authorised to change domain settings so that I can create anon account and make it admin on the domain and not only the computer I am on. Any suggestions on how to do that?

Hey so I'm new to PC building and I'm looking to build a pc around $200. thing is I don't know if a part is actually worth buying/if it's good so I looked at how other people were building their computers for around $200 and thought I would use that.
Yes I know the whole point of building a pc is to build it the way you want to but I'm so fucking new to pc building.

>no GPU mentioned in article.
Just buy a console kid.
>>55207325
Not only is there no mention of the GPU, but even after adding a low-end GPU, your budget is kill.
Save up more money. At least twice of what you have.
If you really are interested in PC gaming, I'm sure you'll be able to save the money.

Just have bigger hands my friend
My custom Linux kernel takes 3 secs to boot on my Thinkpad. The BIOS takes around 5 to get to the 1st stage boot loader. GRUB takes 10 to load itself.
I was thinking the following: Write a bootloader that takes the kernel and initrd from the raw hard drive like an embedded system. So it would go like this:
MBR_PARTTABLE_KERNEL_INITRD_FIRSTPART
That way it does not need to mount a partition, read from it, read the 2nd stage bootloader, read that one and then load kernel and boot. This way i can just load in the kernel raw from the SSD.
Any thoughts?
>>55207170
What does "boot" mean?
>>55207170
the first stage of the bootloader is limited to 510 bytes.
there's a reason the second stage exists.
Use LiLO
Can i oc this piece of shit and is it even worth it? I slapped an EVO 212 on it sometime ago because putting on the stock cooler was a big mistake.
Also is there some way to set a custam fan curve without using afterburner? Crimson drivers but it for me and it locks my fan speeds to about 20%, even though AMD said they fixed it. My R9 290 PCS+ is loud as fuck if i go beyond 50% fan speed. I figured i could let it go a bit warmer to about 80c with lower fan speed.
>>55207098
>Crimson drivers but it for me and it locks my fan speeds to about 20%,
Pajeet, I'm assuming that you want to set a fan curve for the GPU. The CPU should be easy, your bios will have fan options.
A) use speedfan for controlling fans
B) you probably can push it a bit, my fx6300 is on 4.2GHz OC on this shitty fan, it's stable and cool enough. you will need to see how far can you go, I expect 4.6 should be reasonable with temps and stability.
>>55207229
yeah i want to set a fan curve for my gpu because from crimson panel i can set low fan speeds but i am afraid to do that because some games make this card get really HOT, i once caught it at about 105 c and i was playing like that for about an hour without even knowing it, that's why i need a fan curve not just fan speed adjust
>>55207260
should i oc it through the crimson software or i should fiddle the bios?

Why aren't you used brave browser /g/? This browser is seriously going to become the next big browser to compete with IE, Edge, Firefox, and Chrome. It might even fully replace Firefox in a matter of years.
It does support webp but it's still in alpha development right? I'll give it another 2-3 months to mature before I try it.
>>55207149
As of 2016, it is currently in version 0.10.3, and is in beta testing for iOS, Android, Windows, OS X, and Linux. However, since it's still in beta, expect bugs and shit to still be there.
>>55207009
stop shilling this crappy browser please.

Let's discuss our personal usage of terminology gee.
>how do you define a variable?
In particular, is it just a label on a piece of the stack, or the piece itself? Doess dynamically allocated memory contain variables?
I see Golang take the stance that
>A variable is a storage location for holding a value.
from which it follows that
>[dynamic allocation] allocates storage for a variable at run time.
