why do we use silicon and the same manufacturering for every cpu and gpu?
why not do something from scratch? totall different? kinda maybe its made of liquid or maybe it is made of a unique element or synthesized material... maybe it doesnt follow cpu manufacturing of today.
why do cpu and gpu guys just copy the guys of the past but slightly imrpvoe them (better nm and stuff)??? why not actually rethink how a computer works, maybe it wont even use binary. it could literally use a quantum language. or us planck particles to generate and store data for cpmuting...

Kill yourself.
There are different substrates, Si is the best so far because it's cheapest and easiest to work with.
Again, kill yourself.

This, desu senpai.
1) Do not feed the trolls.
2) If this isn't a troll, then this person is sadly far beyond trying to teach anything to.
Is this method of encrypting my Chinese cartoons secure?

but yeah your anime is safe from your mom.
>>55030225
Basically use blowfish or twofish or serpent, since they where the runners up for AES.

Thanks, that's what I was concerned about.

Now that Smartflix is kill and a lot of VPNs blocked once again from Netflix, what are some good services for watching US (and other countries') Netflix? Bonus if it's inexpensive

Other than torrents
Any VPN's that plan on keeping netflix watchable?
Aren't you afraid of the growing restrictions the Internet is suffering and will suffer in the near future due to government involvement and regulation of information? What will happen with the great libraries? The torrenting sites? BookZZ and lib.gen and so on? Are you downloading and backing up already? Am I just paranoid? What if some information just isn't available anymore?

I'm a 9-5 senior developer at a company that does enterprise web applications for a few big clients
I have a good idea that I really think I could sell, but I don't have the time to implement it
Has anyone else faced this dilemma? How did you manage? Do you guys still program on your free time when you have a full-time job?
>>55029646
Sorry for not having a useful reply to your question, but do you have any advice on how to maintain your passion for coding outside of your job?
I taught myself to code and really enjoyed doing it for a while, but once I got my first job, my passion just got put out, and I don't want to deal with coding outside of work.
Is it just because I'm a low-level codemonkey and things'll change later on?
>>55029736
I've been seriously working as a developer for about 5 years now (C#) and my passion to code comes and goes in waves
Last year I bought a few books on C++ because I just really found it fascinated and screwed around with it for a couple months on my free time
Since then I lost interest in leisure programming until recently when I had this idea.
The only thing that has stuck with me for this long really is my passion to be the best developer I can. I strive to make sure whatever I check in...

Start it on weekends, then when the project gains some traction give it an hour each night. Take baby steps but when it reaches critical mass you'll have to decide if you want to pivot to it full time but either way you'll be ready for that when the moment comes rather than leaving too early before you are ready or missing the mark and sticking around.

why do you still have this cancer installed? youtube and xvideos work without it so why?
But I don't.
cause i dont care, like most people
So that I can see the little ask-to-activate notification show up. If it happens on a site with no obvious and relevant Flash elements, I know that the site is super fucking fishy and I never go back.
As if there weren't a million other ways to know, Facebook and Imgur are notorious examples of this issue. Whatever they're trying to run using the Flash plugin, it's not integral to the site and not obvious to the user. Fucking disgusting.

What do you with old 3.5" HDDs?
I've been going through some old hard drives, destroying the ones that don't work and keeping the ones that still have some life in them. I don't have any room to put them in my PC and I kind of don't want to use an enclosure since the large ones usually require an external power source.
>>55029365
Also, one is a 20 GB IDE, the other two are 500/320 GB SATA drives.
>>55029365
What do you do with your used toilet paper?
Wipe with many passes, stick into garbage/cheap machines with no HDDs, get machine running, give to poor people. When businesses toss machines into dumpsters it's usually the HDD missing because of security concerns. Otherwise they're ready to roll.
Which should I install?

Just closing the browser and starting it again works but that's being a hassle. Anyone know what's wrong with my browser?
It's been two years that I have my computer and I didn't had this issue before.
Whenever I start my computer it take a lot of time to show me the bios screen (it can take a few minutes to one hour)
Once the bios screen appears, it boot normally.
I tried to unplug most devices of the computer, it still is slow to show me the bios screen.
What can be the issue ? Once it boots, everything works and run normally
I posted this the other day and while I got some help I couldn't fix it. Now I'm by my computer so it might be easier. I'm a total noob tho so pls no bully
I bought a slightly used 980 ti and a 1440p 144hz monitor but everything caps at 60 frames per second. The nvidia control panel won't let me change it to 144hz. I'm using a new hdmi cable and for some reason displayport isn't working with my 980ti.
Any suggestions?
Can a Thinkpad x220 i7, with a 9cell battery,IPS Display,16gb of RAM and SSD compete with today's flagship laptops? Am I just waisting my time here? I just look for durability,performance and battery life, along with a simple linux distro. I Looked trough the wiki and google and it seems like the best bet for all of us. But, does any of you have experience with an "upgraded" laptop?
>inb4 just buy a macbook
>>55029183
Also, forgot to clarify that It's the non-touch screen model, I made a mistake with pic related
>>55029183
>durability
better than any consumer laptop
>performance
for shitposting and watching videos? perfect. playing games? don't buy a laptop
>battery life
i have a 6 cell battery, lasts me an average of 3 hours, which is enough for me
>linux
good linux support, I also run mint
so yeah, its a $200 laptop. if you want to gaymen, you can easily build a computer for $800,...

The resolution and iGPU are its biggest downfalls. You can get away with the weak iGPU if you don't play video games, but the resolution is going to suck no matter what you use it for.
