Are coding bootcamps legit? Most jobs seem to require a degree in Computer Science or something related.
Can you really become a Developer with no degree and just self-taught skills?

No, it's a meme

Some have a very high chance of landing you a job after you complete them, but they tend to cost some serious dough. Most likely worth it imo.
Just write code and publish it on github. A portfolio of good code is enough to get noticed

I was a bartender for 10 years than I worked in a office answering phones for a public records company finding and locating subjects. Worked on hooking up and setting up computers. Out of work at the current moment.
What happened to background audio playback on 6.0.1?
Focused tests showed that people were happy with the way it worked so they changed it.

Fiddle with the features you haven't tried before for a while, then realize you spent your hard earned dough on something you don't even need or will use it's capabilities that much..

I've been using NVidia cards (GeForce GT 630M / Intel i7-3610QM integrated on laptop and GeForce GTX 560 on desktop) with nouveau drivers, and I am finally feeling the bad performance of nouveau, on top of sort-of old graphics cards. I noticed that the freedomware drivers for ATI cards have more features than nouveau and are considered very stable, but are they also significantly more performant than Nouveau with NVidia cards?
Also, yes, this is vidya gaymes related. I am trying to run Rabi-Ribi in WINE, which lags in any of the graphics providers I listed. Ironically, it runs a little faster on the integrated card, but crashes due to lack of video memory. Running the game does not max out CPU usage, and changing the card used changes the performance, so I am assuming it's a graphics bottleneck. Can I expect significantly more performance by just getting an "recent" (1~2 years old) ATI card, and using the Free drivers? The only other reason I have for an ATI card is support for video acceleration on my chinese cartoons.
I know that proprietary drivers exist, but I would prefer to avoid them if possible. I'm aware of the irony of trying to use nonproprietary drivers to run a proprietary game, but a game just feels less invasive than drivers or an operating system.
ATi free drivers are about 80% of the speed of the proprietary ones.
Nvidia free drivers are about 20% of the speed of the Nvidia proprietary ones.
Ergo: Nouveau is fucking shit because Nvidia doesn't help the project at all, unlike AMD
>>54631705
Just pick up a used hd 7790 or 6870, it'll run great on Linux.
AMD actually helps develop the open source drivers iirc, and intel drivers are completely open source.
Fuck nvidia.
>>54633358
Both Nvidia, AMD AND Intel now need proprietary firmware to initiate the GPU, 2 years ago none of them needed it, now all of them do.

You know what the best feature of Windows 10 is?
Separate volume controls for headphones and speakers.
Have to give props to the Windows team for that one, it's so fucking nice.
That's unnecessary because most computers have only one audio jack.
When I unplug my headphones, sound often doesnt transfer over for some things, like Rocket League. I have to plug my headphones back in to hear it.
Didn't happen on 8.1

So /g/, I am torn between a Kingston UV300 240gig ssd and a Samsung 840 240gig ssd. Which should I go for? Kingston is cheaper btw.
And how do I set up Dual Hard disk on my Pavilion G6?
Currently I have a Conventional 5400RPM 1TB HDD in the Laptop's bay. and I bought a HDD caddy bay (12.7mm)
My intention is to use the ssd as main (that has o.s) and hdd sitting in the caddy as storage.
But how do I copy the C:\ drive from HDD to SSD without using usb adapter and how I remove C: from HDD after I am done putting SSD in main drive bay?

Got mint, don't want to go through the trouble of cloning it to, can reinstall it later btw. Will fixmbr, remove mint and then do the cloning .
Boot live usb (ubuntu) and use dd?
Googled myself about this for my future ssd. Try with disk imaging. Also I'd go with Samsung because Kingston had some speed issues but it was long ago so take this with a grain of salt
They're asking for it...

Poor fag here and I want a mechanical keyboard but on a budget 60$ or less This is the best I've found for my shitty price range
most cheaper mechanical keyboards use "custom" switches that are less quality than actual cherry switches
they have a shorter lifespan, don't feel as nice etc
it depends on if you feel an extra 10-15 dollars is worth it as the higher quality boards will last a lot longer and might be worth it in the end
there are some cherry models with close to 60 dollars such as the CM Storm and rosewill
