Based Terry.
I hope he will stay around for a long time, it's nice he started streaming as well.

Based Terry.
Someone should invite him to post here with us.
You have 10 seconds to name one good reason to be using this in 2016.

I'm done with smartphones.
I've never liked them anyway. But now after breaking the umpteenth one I'm completely over them and decided to go back to "feature phones". What are some good-looking simple phones that don't break? A very basic internet access could be a plus, but definitely not mandatory.
Is the Caterpillar B100 the ultimate feature phone?

I've dropped my moto x and have had it for almost 3 years and it still runs perfect. I'm going to try rooting it soon and it will run even better.
Start using better devices m8
Why do you keep breaking them ? Wtf?
I'll never go back to using a dumphone
Fuck not shitposting on /g/ 24/7 365 anywhere

I love the blue theme
>tfw wanted a blue theme but the motherboard you got is red
My Dell 2407WFPb fried in a power surge. No big, I pull it open look at the boards and it's obviously the main board. About 50% of the capacitors popped.
Problem is the connector from the board to the LCD (?) is not a ribbon cable but just fucking loose wires and the insulation on all the wires is completely powdered. Basically touching them makes the entire insulation case snow onto the board. The wires are mostly bare now.
So my eBay replacement board is pictured as coming with a set of these wires, but what I'm wondering is how common is this and is there any way I can protect from this happening to the new (used) set? Should I be worried about the used wires falling apart before I get them installed and secured?
>>54609917
enjoying that shit power grid you have in america OP?
>>54609965
You're welcome for us inventing electricity.
110v is superior anyway.

>inventing electricity
Nope, electricity has been used for over 2500 years
I understand it's the game of life but I don't understand much about it, how does it work?
Why was it chosen to be the emblem for hackers?
Because it's basically the first self-sustained moving "life" in the game of life. It's also the smallest.
There, now you can use the symbol and pretend you're part of an elite club. Have fun feeling snide.
>>54609772
what's the ruleset for this 3d one?

>Because it's basically the first self-sustained moving "life" in the game of life. It's also the smallest.
I see that. I've read up on it but I can't figure out the algorithm. What makes it tick?
Desktop thread

Wow, this thread slipped off the front page fast!
>>54609525
Using the word combination "desktop thread" in the OP makes the thread autosage.
>G.Fast is the technology in question, and it comesfrom Israeli chipmaker Sckipio. G.Fast can currently deliver download and upload speeds of 750Mbps, or 50 times faster than what your ISP likely offersyou right now. Next year, G.Fast speeds will double thanks to a new generation of chips,CNN Moneyreports. That means you could enjoy up to 1.5Gbps download and upload speeds, which is faster thanGoogle Fiber.
>The best part about this technology is that it works over regular phone lines, which means it can be deployed in most cities without having to throw huge amounts of cash at newinfrastructure. Rather than digging up roads and yards for fiber and rewiring buildings, internet companies would be able to take advantage of the technology that’s already available to them: Regular old phone lines and coaxial cables.
>G.Fast technology will be available in the US later this year via AT&T, which is looking to pair it up with the cable infrastructure it got when it boughtDirecTV. G.Fast won’t be available nationwide initially, but Sckipio says that a single phone company could roll it out to the entire country in just four years.
>Other advantages of G.Fast include its ability tosustain high speeds even in crowded areas like apartment buildings. DSL internet can lose up to 90% of its speed by the time it reaches modems in buildings, but G.Fast would only lose 5% to 10% onthe same trip.
>As for cost, bringing fiber from the street to homes can cost as much as $100,000, the Israeli company says. The boxes on the street that need to be installed for G.Fast cost $70,000 each, and it costs nothing to bring the signal to ahome.

Thoughts? Retro revolution or snake oil that won't deliver?
Britcuck here, this shit has supposedly been coming to the UK for 2+ Years. gl merica

DEAD
snake oil that could have succeeded if people actually gave a shit
Show me them Digits
Xfinity Blast+ here
>>54608988
Eagle Communications
$50/mo (contract yr 1 price)
They are the best option here and have quite good customer service. (The other guys max speed is half this and costs $10/mo more.)
AT&T, it's ok enough I guess

been meaning to switch the shitty free isp provided wifi access point with a good one I have but it's going p fast already desu
>So 4.6 is out there at the normal
schedule, and that obviously also means that I'll start doing merge
window pull requests for 4.7 starting tomorrow.
>The 4.6 kernel on the whole was a fairly big
release - more commits than we've had in a while. But it all felt fairly calm despite that.

>Linux kernel 4.6 “Charred Weasel” does come with its fair share of interesting changes.
>Many end users will notice performance improvements in the temperature control of their laptops, for example, because this version closes a quite serious bug that caused thermal throttling in some models of Lenovo laptops. Support for Dell laptops, including their Alienware gaming line of machines has also been improved.
>Embedded machines also get a boost with the support of 13 new ARM-based SoCs.
>Support for the 64-bit ARM architecture is chugging along nicely. Both performance enhancements and new features have made their way into the current kernel, which also now supports, among other things, the half-precision floating point format for binary numbers.
> Power9 processors. This hardware is typically built into high-end servers and, although Power8 and earlier versions are fully supported by the kernel, Power9 remains very much work in progress.
>Kernel 4.6 now supports OrangeFS, a modern scale-out network file system designed for use on high-end computing systems. OrangeFS provides very high performance access to multi-server based disk storage.
>Support for the Synaptics RMI4 protocol has also been added in this version. This translates into an improved support for touchscreens on a wide range of mobile devices.
>Developers have improved the drivers for many HIDs (read "game controllers") as well as for Intel's Skylake line of processors.
>Version 4.6 also improves the security of the EFI firmware, isolating its context from the rest of the kernel.
>Other security updates, including kernel memory protection by default on ARMv7+, arm64 and mandatory on x86, and more oulined by Kees Cook, are part of an ongoing effort to create "airbags for the kernel" by preventing bugs from becoming security issues.

Long story short, my friend asked me to forge a gamestop receipt for him. I thought it was simple to just photoshop it but it's too difficult for me. Anyone know or have a link to a psd file to edit a receipt or generator? Thank you..
sent ;)
>>54608363
you'd need the matching Epson receipt printer and paper type.
don't they use custom receipt paper too?
>>54608363
Do you mean I've that you get at the store? You'll have better luck with an online order, but then you'll need the order number.

Accounting major here.
Thinking of doing Computer and Information Systems.
Thoughts?
School does not offer CS, and i'm not great at math anyway. I would want to go on to become a Software Developer.
>>54608210
> I'm not great at math
Turn back now.
>>54608210
>i'm not great at math
You best fix that before you start.
>>54608210
software development is about problem solving, which you probably lack if you aren't great at math.
I've been playing around with programming for a long time but I've never really tried building a real substantial project. I want to build a shitty web forum from the ground up, complete with secure user authentication and and all that. What set of languages and tools should I be using for the backend? Django? Rails? Node? ASP? PHP? Is there anything I need besides the main web framework and a database of some sort? there are so many choices and I have no idea what would be the best to go with.
>>54608076
Python with Flask
>>54608076
Rails or node if you'd like an overall stable project life cycle
Php if you want easy beginnings leading to hell
Asp if you want aids
>>54608076
perl and mojolicious
