'm going to university to study CS in September, should I install Linux and can someone give me a link to a guide on how to?
>>53794476
Why does 4chain need to give you a link? Can't you just Google it?

Would just like to know if I should install it I guess, it's nice to get advice from 4chan

So I was about to use Qt then I read that your software must be released as opensource if you use their IDE.
The terrifying thought of all my hard work being copied, then modified and released by someone else calling it their own sunk in.
Why would anyone release their work as opensource?
They have a commercial license too.

> open source phone thread
As far as I've seen the GTA04 board is the closest thing we have to an open source phone today. The Modem is the only blobbed hardware and it is setup with kill switches and voltage monitors so you can tell if its activating without you knowing. Also its not connected straight to the cpu and memory...
I love OSS but its worthless if your hardware is bending you over the night stand.

Open source hardware has to be the future...
THAT PROJECT IS VAPOURWARE
THE DEV IS AN IDIOT WITH MENTAL ISSUES WHO DRIVE AWAY AN ENTIRE COMMUNITY OF FORMER SUPPORTERS BECAUSE OF HIS AUTISM.
IT WILL NEVER BE RELEASED. IT'S BEEN DRAGGING ON FOR YEARS WHILE PHONE HARDWARE HAS IMPROVED AND EXPANDED.
PRICE HAS NOW GONE TO NEAR 900EURO WHICH IS LAUGHABLE
>>53792991
Maybe that's why they call it the Neo900.
'ey G. I had a question and I don't wanna go to wsr because they're stinky. pls no bully.
>laptop froze while playing game
>force shutdown with power button
>restart bsod
>now desktop slow response(mouse doesn't move immediately, minutes to open a folder or register click, shutdown takes long ass time)
>did virus scans and chkdsk
>can boot safemode
>when uninstall display drivers can boot up normally(no slowdown)
>when display drivers are installed 1/10 times can boot okay but stuff like photoshop mentions failed drivers
>rest of the times either slow response or crashes before logon screen
>99% sure it's display driver or graphics card related
>tried updating drivers and used DDU but same problem
Could this be a graphics card failure? I can't think of anymore variations of uninstall/install display drivers I can try.

Btw, I took the laptop apart and put it back together but had 2 leftover screws. Still works! As well as it was before I took it apart at least. I broke one of the fan blades though while trying to clean the dust and now it sounds louder.
I found the issue. You seem to still have a deprecated OS installed.

Windows 7? Think you have that confused with vista. 7 is one of the best

He's not even best Kek Syndicate personality.
What are some "hacky" ways that you go about your daily computing?
I'm always looking for ways to be on my full powered desktop on a small screen or mobile and people come up with some interesting ways to do it.
>>53790530
i just ssh over to my server with my phone
>>53790530
It works for me
My Ethernet dies whenever I'm not using it for more than a couple of seconds, so I constantly ping the router with 0 bytes in order to keep it alive.
Why is this called a meme?
I love the form factor.
Also, opinion on the Ducky DK2108SZ with browns?
>>53790314
popular things are memes
things that someone doesn't like are memes
frogs are memes
Would it be worth returning the 950 and paying ~$30 more for a GTX 770? BF4 lags a little.
I foresee acoustic performance being poor when the card is this small. Remember that heatsinks work on surface area, so when you have less of it, that single little fan needs to spin really fast to dissipate the heat.

I am using a rMBP with 8 gigs of ram and it opens Chrome in under a second.
What does /g/ think of Eli? Have any of his videos actually helped? In what way?
Personally, this guy seems like a burn out to me, but I've only watched 2 of his intro videos, & they are LENGTHY so I wanted to get /g/'s opinion.
It seems that his videos would be very helpful if you want to SOUND professional, but they lack technical detail (so far).
Also, in his earlier vids he seems really excited and making jokes, but in the later vids, he seems angry.
What does /g/ think? Has he helped in any way?
>>53789784
He's a simple IT guy who thinks he knows everything about computers ever.
he's kind of narcissistic
>>53789800
See that's the thing. He's so good at sounding professional, that the only thing I feel I can gain from him is how to SOUND professional, but not how to actually do shit.
