>The system that builds windows is a bunch of 30 year old perl scripts from the 1990s. No one knows what they do. They have tried to replace this build system 4 times. The most recent attempt happened while I was working there and was called "Apex". It worked great, solved all the problems, and was totally fantastic, except that it couldn't compile windows. No one could figure out how to get windows to compile on it. This is because no one knows how to compile windows. They eventually shelved Apex because no one could decipher what the flying fuck was going on with the perl scripts.
>They still use the perl scripts.
this is why I started running OS/2 five years ago
I am unironically intrigued and I want to hear more
What the fuck is it with large companies and legacy Perl code.

I will open the thread asking something music related.
Where do you people explore and download genres? I want to update my library with some genres with quality, but I don't know any website with lot of songs. I don't know if I explained right to myself. Thanks anons.
I've just broken my headphone and I only have 65€ (~72$)

If you like a setup, let that person know. If you see a poor setup, offer them advice and criticism. Giving mere numerical ratings does not help much. Not rating others will highly decrease the chance of your setup being rated.

Yeah but what browser do you use you fucking scrub?

mini-atx mobo in full tower

node 304
So what you're saying is that you replaced your personality with contrarian memes?
How do I view file information in qBittorrent? Like bitrate, codec, format etc.?

Elevators are technology, and im currently stuck in one. How's /g/'s day going so far?

Is it worth it waiting for Polaris and Zen?
At this point, yes
If you're broke, yes.
If you have cash to spare, just buy now.
The new cards will be cheaper and more power efficient, but not more powerful.
>>53750860
>cheaper and more power efficient
So a 1070 will be cheaper than a 970?
I installed Tinder because I was curious (and due to my lack on social skills). I must agree terms that scared me, they can do whatever they want with your data, worlwide, forever.
I know. Whatsapp does the same, Google indexes the info you put on it an you must have an account on google if you want to install apps on Android... but it doen't make it better.
this made me think about security. I have nothing to hide but I don't fail to that "if you're not a pedo there is no reason to not give your info" argument. I want to learn more about this but I don't know where to start.
I'm not trying to become a hacker overnight, I understand this is a difficult matter and I'll have to learn some things (I'm using linux but I don't know how to use terminal). I accept I have a lot to learn. but I don't know how, or where to start.
TL;DR: how to learn about security
>Do whatever they want with your data?
Do you really think they care about your fedora-wearing profile picture and "I like trannies, Linux, and anime. Hit me up for a good time" description?
>>53750337
you are using the same argument as above. I'm not proposing my shit to be relevant to anyone, but I don't want it to be stored by some company. I don't see it hard to understand.
>>53751267
How do you propose a dating app is supposed to work if you don't give any data?
You sound like you're eighteen.
At work I've told everyone I'm a linux geek even though I can barely use Arch without googling instructions.
>>53750286
nice blog.
>vagina
That's a funny way to spell penis
How ARE you supposed to install Arch without a guide? I'm in the middle of it right now and I would be fucked without the wiki.
Learning Python, have the basic syntax down and understand a bit. Where do I go from here? Where does one move on to after finishing the absolute basics? Do I think of a beginner application and study my way through It?
Try solve some basic problems
>>53750120
Any references? Problems In my life don't require much automation. And If they do It would probably be advanced.
Well, what are you interested in?

How the fuck am I supposed to recover data off this when it has a fscked OSX partition? I know they make SATA to USB adapters for them, but is that really the only way?
This is why Steve Jobs got cancer, I am sure of it.
How's that /thinkdifferent/ dick taste?
>>53749679
>I know they make SATA to USB adapters for them, but is that really the only way?
The fuck child? How is this any different from needing to pull an SSD from any other fucking laptop? What the fuck does the badge have to do with the fact you're too basic to perform simple tasks like docking an SSD?
And what the fuck is all that hair doing in your machine you fucking grub?
>>53750079
Do you really think I'm that fucking dumb? Sure, try and load this piece of shit into a docking station, or plugging in sata connectors to it.
Go ahead, try.
Is there anyway to test the 'health' of an external hard drive? Like a software or behavior to look out for?
Can a hard drive stop working because of months/years of not using it?
>>53749635
If it appears as a HDD, crystaldiskinfo or any other S.M.A.R.T analysis tool will do the job, mechanical or otherwise.
If it appears as a portable device, no idea.
>>53749776
Oh I guess I was wrong about telling him that >>53749760
Lemme delete it
>>53749760
I am reading on Google now that I need to look for SMART Status. Apparently SMART data indicate mechanical faults on drives!
I can do it via command prompt using
wmic
diskdrive get status
However I was wondering, will that also check external drives or just internal drives?
If not I gotta get an app like DriveDx (reddit recommends that).
Not a fan of apps desu senpai.
ok, i guess..?
Why the fuck would you need to hide a tv
