Mainframers and people interested in the platform, use this thread to discuss mainframes in general, or to ask any questions
Bump,
surely someone else here works with mainframes in some capacity or is interested
>>54983428
didn't you hear, even IBM is moving to on demand, aka the cloud, now.
>>54983469
That's true and i'm seeing the amount of PAAS systems increase massively, but the simple fact of the matter is that so many core applications are tied into the mainframe for most Banks/Insurance agencies that exiting the mainframe is too expensive and high risk for almost any of them
Is the JavaScript the future?

Most of you are already aware what this is about. IMSI, metadata collection, et cetera. What this interview does that others don't is that it's a bite-sized primer on what IMSI is, how the government can use it to track users, and what can be done to prevent it.
Feel free to watch it if you need a refresher on how much information your device collects. Link it to your inattentive normie friends. Spread the knowledge.

Forgot to mention:
The video also covers how the intelligence gathering apparatus is using their surveillance powers against the government itself. Specifically, the ones responsible for auditing and oversight over CIA/NSA.

Kind of a noob question, but would a new Skylake CPU like an i3-6100 run better / in some way be better suited for Windows 10 instead of Windows 7?
>dual core cpu
>2016
>>54982968
No. In order to guarantee the maximum compatibility possible, Windows is compiled to very old instruction sets. So Windows 10 won't be any better suitable than Windows 7 (it may however have better performance than 7 due to other improvements, e.g. kernel).
>>54982986
It has 2 cores and 4 threads, either way it beats the shit out of the nearly decade old AMD quad-core that I have.
/g/ I need help. I want productivity computer that can handle modern Triple-A games. But the problem is I like to have portability so the Surface Book my second choice. The problem is that should I get the Surface book or build my own gaming PC?

Get a netbook and midrange tower.
>ideapad 100s netbook
>i3 6100+ r7 370 desktop
>>54983005
This
480 is 200$ and can play every 1080p game fluidly.
You can get a chromebook to compliment that for portability. Everything you do there you can set it so that it syncs with your desktop.

If a solar flare struck the earth how fucked would we be?
>>54982894
If the origin of more than 99% of energy on Earth is the sun then we would be literally struck by the botnet, so pretty badly.

At least you aren't trying to build a pseudo information system with hyperlinked PowerPoint slides and PDF. I'm not even making this up....
>>54982716
Why do you stay at this miserable shithole?
>>54983166
My previous two years were really spotty. Worked on some really stupid duhvelopment teams. That's why I shifted to a DBA role, to get away from that. Now I need to make it through a year or two until my finances and reputation recover.
Are 3 button mice still produced?
>>54982699
Press the fucking scrollwheel retard
I'm pretty sure finding mice with just two buttons would be the harder challenge since most have at least three.
>>54982715
When will there be a mouse that scroll wheel acts like clitmouse? Instead of repeated scrolling, just pressure in each direction works?

Do you guys even know any POCs who can write any kind of functional or usefull code, let alone are pentesters?
>>54982585
Yes. They're Chinese.
Isn't white a color too?
So yea, pocs can Code.
But niggers have to stay out.
>>54982585
POC is such an absurd phrase. The left is so far gone that they've decided their new favorite thing to do is define the majority of the world's population by the fact that they're not white. It's literally a classification of "white or other".
