I bet you guys cant tell me what this vintage keyboard is, or even what it's used for. Only hint is that it is from 1987. GOOD LUCK
>>53204141
Why should I care?
>>53204141
Looks like it has some really niche application, and by the labels, it seems that it was either reprogramable, or was compatible with several types of programs. This one seems to have been used specifically for spreadsheets.
Is it a Bloomberg terminal?
Why do adults buy graphics cards? Are video games for children?

It ticks all the boxes I want for a laptop.
>High PPI
>Powerful enough to suit my needs
>Light
>Decent battery
But whenever I see the price, I pause.

Just use daemon tools.
If you had to buy a GPU right now, ignoring the fact that Polaris and Pascal are possibly coming this year, what would you buy?
The NVidia™ GeForce™ GTX 970 4GB, of course.

What does /g/ think about these TV series?
it's shit
I can't wait for the next season, but it might disappoint us because season 1 was perfect
Probably the worst show I've seen. Im sure you would agree. The main character is an autist, who sleeps with hookers because he hates himself so much. Just a negative shithead who complains about simple things.
Anybody else here into actual technology-related hobbies? I'm a ham and the newbieness of this board is just killing me.
We have daily headfoam, chinkpad, bittorrent piracy, home screams from your foam and piecy, threads on programming that don't have any Forth, Smalltalk, Lisp, or APL / J...
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT? ARE YOU ALL CHINKS AND POO IN LOOS?
But my gaming piecy!
>>53196792
>Chinks
>POO in Loos
Naw, those people are all out working jobs because for them IT isn't a hobby but a career path.
/g/ is full of white kids who's parents give them money to generously for their own good. Hence all the gaymin threads and gaiz how do I hack BS.
>>53196792
You forgot the metathreads, where we discuss how we're better than everybody else here.
I figured /g/ would know best. So I'm 23 and have been working as an industrial engineer at a major auto manufacturer for almost 2 years. I hate it. Right now I am aiming for a position at a consulting firm (Deloitte, Accenture), but I got to thinking about what I really wanted out of all these and what is most important. Yes, I like money but my time and freedom are the most valuable assets I have. My long term plan is to be able to work remotely atleast 90% of the time while I travel, camp, make films or do whatever the fuck I want. I figure the easiest way to achieve that is to become proficient in a few programing languages geared towards enterprise.
So, which programming languages are highly marketable and will be semi future proof?
I have taken courses in C++ and some database theory as well as SQL so I'm not completely novice. Java seems interesting.
http://stackoverflow.com/research/developer-survey-2015
check this out. The most popular are javascript, SQL (why), Java, and C#.
for websites --> javascript + html, css, etc.
databases --> sql and its variants
windows framework --> c#/.NET
general shit --> java
c/c++ for low level optimization/3d/vidya
etc.
Its not about learning a programming language, its about understanding engineering/compsci concepts at a fundamental/theoretical level which you can apply across all/most languages.
Things like design patterns, logic, mathematical insight, datastructures, algorithms, make a great engineer, not some1 that knows a few tricks with language x.
According to the survey, Javascript is in demand.
>>53201170
Cool, JavaScript and Java interest me, and I know from my job search I've seen alot of want for Java developers.
>>53202091
>Javascript and Java
>Implying they are different languages
Why is the Macbook Air 13" the best laptop for the price /g/?
>God-tier battery life
>Amazing build quality
>Extremely light and portable
>Best trackpad of any laptop
>Comfy screen size/resolution
>>53187992
Its worth the price point - I love mine
You've got it all wrong. This is clearly the best laptop of the century.
>>53187992
i literally don't care about any of those things. my laptop has spent 98% of it's lifetime plugged in and sitting on my fucking desk.

Why is Vista bad? I've never had it so I dunno why is it so hated.
im guessing cause nobody updated their drivers/programs right away.
took several years....by that time windows 7 came out.
>>53194838
Same as Windows 8. It was shit at release, but got better.
>>53194858
that makes sense
So Apple will take the backdoor case straight to the Supreme Courts. Google, Microsoft, even the nigger facebook and twitter are supporting Apple's fight against the backdoors.
This will be the defining case of the 21st century, /g/ and it involves the rights to privacy and freedom.
Would Stallman support Apple's fight in a small degree? I would think so. We don't like any of the above companies but they are able to fight against the breach of privacy and for the freedom of the people to a degree.
Does /g/'s support of privacy/freedom outweight our hate for apple/microsoft/facebook/twitter?
>microsoft
>fighting for freedom
Bandwagon
>>53191851
Regardless of the intent the outcome they're pushing for is a good thing.
It's a PR stunt
>work in help desk job for about nine months gtfo because low pay, no advancement, too far, no benefits of any kind
>working in new help desk job for about six months, better pay, benefits, some actual chance for advancement (assume they're lying, but still it's nice)
>try to apply for other jobs just because
>literally not one place calls me back
>not one
I'm I fucking blacklisted? What the fuck is going on?

No you are just worthless no one wants to hire you
Public job postings are usually a formality, posted out of obligation. By the time they are online, the manager already has people in mind to fill the opening. Sometimes there isn't even a job, the postings are just there to make the company look good to investors.
If you actually want to get a job you have to work with recruiters, or network with people. Get in bed with tek systems, modis, robert half and their ilk, find a couple guys that appear to know their shit and do more than match buzzwords on resumes.
Talk to those guys regularly, stay on their mind, they will share things that come across their desk that they think fit you. You'll get more action this way than you ever will shotgunning resumes to online postings.
Live sucks keep trying move on die worthless

Can someone give me a good reason for go over to linux? Is it har to get into as a daily operation system?
>>53189756
Don't use linux. Continue your life as it was. gtfo.
>>53189756
Facebook and youtube work well. If you're switching to learn linux, go with Slackware; less hand holding and less of a resource hog.
I switched when my hardware was dying, and linux gave the machine a further year of life, and it worked well, maybe even better than it had previously.
>>53189782
why?
