The option to repair computer wasn't showing up when hiting F8 before Windows starts, so the internet told me to create a recovery USB drive. I did.
I set the boot priority in the UEFI bios, but it still won't boot from the USB and I always go straight to Windows.
What do?
How secure is the Tor Browser bundle and the network in general for anonymity? I used to use it many years ago but haven't been keeping up on news and vulnerabilities.
what's the purpose of BIOS passwords if they can quickly and easily be reset by clearing the CMOS?

I'm having some trouble with reflection in C#.
Say I have a whole bunch of classes where every method inside them is private except for one, and all are argless with the same title.
The easiest solution would be to make them all derive from a base abstract class and then use reflection to call the override methods in each one. But I'm stuck at telling it which one specifically to call.
Is there some way to utilize reflection to determine derived class names so I can just parse out the one I want based on input?

English writer, presenter and activist Stephen Fry has urged his fans to abandon social networks, comparing such platforms to 'dystopian' forms of government seen in 1970s sci-fi films such as Logan's Run and Soylent Green. In a 2,600-word essay, the comedian, who had over four million Twitter followers prior to deleting his account in February, also compared the 'surveilled conformity' of social media to the unreal state of society depicted in The Matrix.
>Who most wants you to stay on the grid? The advertisers. Your boss. Human Resources. The advertisers. Your parents (irony of ironies -- once they distrusted it, now they need to tag you electronically, share your Facebook photos and message you to death). The advertisers. The government. Your local authority. Your school. Advertisers," he writes. "Well, if you're young and have an ounce of pride, doesn't that list say it all?"

You can't have friends in 2016 without social media. This is a fact.
Why should I listen to a literal faggot?

It's a good message, but the messenger's fucking repulsive and nobody will listen to him.
Not even tinfoil, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone with stakes in social media put him up to this.
Is it just me or has Google been complete garbage at delivering good search results for the past three or four years?
It seems like it's always giving me a bunch of filtered and corporate/government-approved results on the first page (and we all know no one ever looks past the first or second page of results).
Back in the day you used to find interesting pages, articles, blogs but now it always leads to the same handful of websites like lifehacker, stackoverflow, webmd, wikipedia, wikihow etc.
Btw wikipedia is also terrible. Surely someone has a better grasp on the history of the roman empire or machine learning or prion diseases and has written a better article about it then those convoluted, condensed wiki entries, so why not show it?

>Btw wikipedia is also terrible. Surely someone has a better grasp on the history of the roman empire or machine learning or prion diseases and has written a better article about it then those convoluted, condensed wiki entries, so why not show it?
no
wikipedia is fucking amazing
if you dont want as much information or detail use simple wikipedia
>>54135275
I've gotten the same impression. The way we use internet search nowadays is different now though, you no longer need to find the best website for weather, stocks, even news, even addresses - Google shows everything right in it's search results.
For actually finding interesting things outside this bubble it sucks though. In my opinion Google is no longer about finding websites, but about finding answers, even if the answers come from the same sources all the time.
>>54135304
seconded, wikipedia is a blessing, even if they're not perfect

Not sure what private trackers are all about?
The mission of /ptg/ is to promote the highest possible standards of tracker service by providing members with opportunities for professional development, by recognizing technical competence through examinations and by advancing the interests of its members.

It gathers data for multiple purposes. Some of them might be beneficial to you, some of them might not. For instance, by knowing the kind of problems users encounter, they have an easier way to track them down. By knowing what their users do frequently, they can show ads based on that information. They're doing this for the betterment of their own platform but at the same time, so they can profit from it.
Windows 10 has been a weird system before they tried to shove it down people's throats; they changed elements from it based on feedback over and over, ending up with something that's not consistent at all. But they did listen to some of the feedback, which they wouldn't before. The issue is that at the moment they didn't fix things like having a better file manager or improve the font rendering engine they're using. Or scaling even.
If you're concerned about the NSA however, that's a separate issue and doesn't involve Microsoft or Windows alone. Keep in mind that by using a somewhat modern processor you already have no protection there.
"I was contacted by Mozilla with the request to "police" our forum, since we (Pale Moon devs) are in direct control of the things discussed and posted here."

What's the point of palemoon anyway? It's just an outdated fork of Firefox.
"Pale Moon developers & users are ungrateful people that steals code from Mozilla repositories and intentionally bite the hands that feed them and post bullcrap claims about Pale Moon being better or faster which has been debunked, their outdated platform gets thoroughly trounced by Firefox in performance, HTML5 support and memory efficiency."

Alright /g/entiles, which engine is best? Take all into consideration including buisness model, ease of use, flexibility, raw power, community, documentation, need I say more? Lets begin.
>>54127350
I like Unreal cause it's ridiculously easy to use , inarguably the most flexible and powerful engine of the three.
>>54127350
Unreal is your best best.
It's free, open source and it has blueprints. The only down side is that once you make x money you owe x amount to Epic Studious.
Unity: Free. No royalties. The engine is easy to use. The only issue is people tend to not know how to use it correctly and end up with shitty., buggy and unoptimized game.
Cryengine. You have access to nothing but scripting unless you pay for source. It's really advanced.
>>54127386
Unity has no royalties?? Just license?? Damn
Can you even crack this site?
