What does /g/ think of iPhone 5S? Still worth buying?
iPhones in general are shit no matter what.
Not anymore. The SE is where is at

Was AlphaGo written in Go?
Nothing ever gets written in Go, even though lost of blog posts about Go get written, but in English
Was Facebook written in C?
It's got a C in it, it must be

Google was written in Go, just look, they start with the first 2 letters

Im thinking of upgrading to windows 10
whats the situation with privacy? How about photoDNA?
>>53733057
>whats the situation with privacy?
It's pretty bad famalam, but you can stop most of it whilst installing.
>How about photoDNA?
It only works for their default Photos App, if you use the default Photo Viewer or some 3rd party it doesn't apply to them.
>>53733057
>upgrading to windows 10
It is a downgrade both aesthetically and functionally, why even bother.
>>53733092
people are going to start upgrading to it. i should know how it works
What can you do when encryption isn't enough?
Say you are in a situation in which you may be forced to hand over encryption keys, and there's a significant chance you might have your (encrypted) phone seized. What can you do? The only two options I can think of are:
>To have a setup where it can be remotely wiped in the small window when you know it is going to be taken, but before it actually is, but this would require the phone to be on, and someone or some automated process to give the command to wipe.
>To never store anything on the phone itself, and use it as a thin client to some server, and wipe the server when you are free.
Option 2 seems the easiest. Is there a practical way to set that up, with software that exists today rather than having to build something from scratch?
If you know you're in such a situation, don't have an encrypted phone on you...
Otherwise, store encryption keys on a volatile medium that can easily be destroyed quickly and discretely
>>53733192
>If you know you're in such a situation, don't have an encrypted phone on you...
I agree, and this probably covers most situations. I guess it's more useful if you think it's likely to happen, but you don't know when.
Easily destroyed keys are a great idea, any idea what would be for something easily discretely destroyed?

At what point did you realize you were studying to become a code monkey and should have majored in math instead of CS?

Hello again yesterday I came from /g/ asking for a patent for a mind control program.
We found some interesting stuff and I want to share it with you.

He encouraged people to download it, cause he feared that the technology ended in bad hands.
It's windows only.
Good luck, don't turn into mindless zombies.

>As the physiological effect of low-frequency stimulation has only been explored in cursory fashion, it needs to be studied further through research and clinical tests. Left to itself this would take a long time, since the matter is controversial and the physiological dynamics is influenced by obscure factors such as conditioning, sensitization, habituation and the placebo effect, as well as by the initial state of the endocrine- and autonomic nervous system.
>Meanwhile however, people may be at risk of having their nervous system manipulated covertly by unscrupulous individuals.
>Under these extraordinary circumstances, it was decided to write software for pulsing the brightness of monitor images and make the software available to the public, so that people can determine their susceptibility to the sensory stimulation, take protective steps, and generate collective concern that may spur appropriate further action.
Anyone could kind enough to open program, we are kind of paranoid on /x/ and our anty-spyware programs aren't very good.

Come and watch.
So I upgraded my rig about a year ago, and my system has been convinced ever since, that my copy of Windows is not legit.
It's quite frustrating, and opens a warning window every 20 minutes or so, to let me know.
How can I get rid of this problem?
>>53732492
Install Gentoo.
Did you install a beta version or something
>Upgraded my rig.
By any chance, did you replace the Motherboard? Because this is more or less how Windows identifies a particular PC.
When you activate Windows, it is activate to a particular PC with a particular ID. The ID for your PC is on your motherboard. When you change the motherboard, you effectively change to a different PC. So Windows thinks you're using a different PC.
If you've got a legit copy of Windows, you should be able to reactivate, at worst you may need to call Microsoft and do the song and dance with the Indian who picks up. (Yes, they always are Indian with VERY thick accents. .)
In the process of building a new station and I'm looking at ergonomic chairs. Seen a lot of these on bst (pic related)
What does /g/ think? Meme?
>>53732448
i wish i had one
i know someone with the aero who is pretty happy with this brand
I've tried a lot of chairs and the steelcase gesture works best for me
>>53732448
upgraded aeron and embody are both top tier.
steelcase leap is very comfy if you're not a sweaty bastard or are in a sufficiently A/C'd room.
In general, HM and Steelcase are pretty much impossible to go wrong with if you have the cash.
I'm a strong believer in splurging for seating, input devices, and displays, since good ones can easily last you ten years.

gentlemen,
what's the most logical (and thus the only rational) naming scheme for your files?
e.g.
YYYYMMDD_[related to]_[filename].[extension]
20160328_work_goodshit.docx
I do this shit with documents
>vague description of what's it about (ex. Louis XVI)
>put in a folder vaguely describing the category (History)
>sort by date
Filename.Extension because every computer since fucking Windows 95 has date stamps in the metadata you cuck

Home media centre
How many of you have a home media centre set up. What is your current setup?
I'm looking for a discreet case that can fit an ATX mobo and is quiet. But I'd like to see some of yours for a bit of inspiration.
>>53732283
Home server for storing/streaming/transcoding
Minimalistic NUC or ITX PC for playing media.
Display and audio of your preference.

Wouldn't it be better to place the TV on the trolley? I was told TVs heat up when on for several hours so they need cooling from the rear.
Moving house soon, and I'm halfway considering getting an Emby/NAS/Chromecast setup going.
Any starter suggestions? To be honest power draw's one of my main priorities - I don't want anything humongous draining my power bill, but I'd rather not have to get up and power-on something if it'll wake from sleep as needed.

which phone between 100/200$ would you buy to my dad, who wants to upgrade from a dumbphone?
he'd just use it for web browsing and texting, so i'd want nothing too fancy but something that works alright.

Bought a Galaxy S7 yesterday, gave my iPhone 6S to my mother. Appreciate the simplicity of iPhones but just got fed up with how locked down they are. Last Android phone was a GS2 that got water damaged and since then I've been all iOS.
Absolutely loving the S7. Touchwiz is still a piece of shit, but Nova Prime has taken care of most of my problems.
The camera is incredible, if I went outside or had friends I'd have such cool pictures. Fast charging is great too, gonna look into a wireless charger when I get paid.
Turned off the AOD this morning because it's pretty useless to me as I always wear a watch. Love the LED notifications though.
Looking for some recommendations for games and apps, just playing around with emulators at the moment.
Bought pic related for it earlier, was worried it would ruin the sleekness but it looks great and made it super grippy.
Is it worth getting the 11" MacBook Air, or should I wait for the Retina version? I can't find a laptop of this size/specs for the price.
>inb4 install Thinkpad/Gentoo/Gahnoo
>inb4 muh freedoms
>inb4 1366x768
If there's going to be a Retina version, consider your eyes.
I'd honestly always spend a little bit extra for something where I can read shit without issues. I still have nightmares with 1680x1050 on 23''.
That said if you can't afford it, get that. Though it depends on usage, if you really just want a facebook machine everything is cheaper.
It's probably gonna be refreshed and be what the new Macbook is now. So you might see a price increase. In that case then I would wait and see what happens and buy the model before the redesign if price increases happen.
