I think I'm going to start collecting malware. Because Virtual Machines aren't perfect and because I like to be safe, I figure I should probably buy a cheap old laptop just for malware storing purposes - I don't want to brick my actual desktop if something escapes containment.
Any reccs for good laptops from the early 2000s, and any tips on this kind of hobby?
All the interesting bits of malware are from the 90s or the early 2000s, so I don't need anything modern.
Please share them for us, anon

What the fuck is my cpu? Is it good?
I have a i7 3820 @3.6GHz, everywhere I've looked seems to import it from Japan, and its like $450 new, but only $150 used. Is this even a good CPU? I can hardly find any actual information on it, and I bought this 2-3 years ago, before I had any knowledge of computers. Why is it out of stock EVERYWHERE and all of them are importing from Japan?
They only make specific models of processors for a year at most. once the next gen ramps up (or even incremental improvements) the equipment can't be used for older models. It wouldn't be profitable anyways.

4 core Sandy Bridge-E
Dunno if you can OC it but there's nothing wrong with it. Your mobo supports 4 channel DDR3 so basically it's a fancy i7 2600. Check for benchmarks for the 2600k or something and imagine yours being a snidge better.
relax nigga it's fine.
I question why anyone would buy an i7 and not a Xeon E3, but whatever.
Is anyone trying the Mint 18 beta? How is it?
I have cinnamon on debian and there's no reason to use mint anyway since ubuntu exists. Va a casa terroneee
>linux mint
>>55144279
switched to ubuntu from mint few days ago after a scary thread on /g/
but will probably go back then 18 rolls out since hibernation won't work out of the box on ubu

One day after $53 million abruptly disappeared from an experimental cryptocurrency project, a note appearing to be from the attacker has surfaced on PasteBin, claiming that the money drained from the system is now legally his. The attacker withdrew the money by exploiting a contract bug in the code of the DAO (or Decentralized Autonomous Organization), a collective investment fund that uses the Ethereum cryptocurrency.
"I have carefully examined the code of The DAO and decided to participate after finding the feature where splitting is rewarded with additional ether,"...

When someone buys a new cell phone how do they know it hasn't been tampered with?
It's in the original packaging and you order directly from the manufacturer
>>55143847
technically there's no such thing as a "brand new" phone. Every phone goes through the physical hands of some factory worker in China to check the quality of each device before putting it back onto a conveyor belt for machines to automate packaging.
>>55144011
this.
i doubt that factory workers tamper with the devices, but if you want to be sure, get an android phone and flash a fresh copy of the os before using the device.
most bootloaders are locked, so the chances that someone tampered with the radio rom as opposed to the android rom are very slim.
but this is tinfoil territory.
if you do notice that someone messed with the device you got sealed in the original packaging, you could sue the manufacturer.

How the fuck do you keep your cables managed neatly? I have 28 plugs plugged in and cables floating everywhere
Use clamps to group cables together. Nail them to supports if you don't want them in your way. Get rid of excess length.
>>55143582
How the fuck is this difficult? Just group them together... Move them with your hands.
>>55143582
Reusable velcro (hook and loop) cable ties.

So I have a raspberry set up with a 2tb harddrive with 800gb of movies set up to stream to anywhere using sftp. And it works fine using VLC if VLC wan't complete shit. Is there some other media player that supports sftp? It needs to run on winshit because most people have winshit on their computer and I want to be able to go to a friends house and use his PC to stream my movies.

I met a guy online a few years ago and he really wanted to date me. He messaged and called me all the time. I wasn't disinterested but I wasn't anywhere near as interested in him as he was in me. He was very pushy and controlling but I didn't realise it at the time because he was very charming.
One day he got into my Facebook account and changed my password and changed the details to his email account. When I confronted him about it he said he was a hacker. I didn't believe him because he was just a normal guy with a retail job. His reason for doing...

No clue. I'd guess phising or weak password-security/easy recovery questions on your part.
>>55143272
he answered the recovery questions because you told him everything there was to tell about yourself, you retarded whore.
>>55143313
If he did that wouldn't he need to have first hacked my email?
