I need a new laptop. I have no idea what the market looks like.
I'm a real estate agent and therefore do a lot graphic design (Photoediting, designing Layouts for Online an Printing etc.)
Can you guys give some tips? I'll mainly use an extra Display so the Screensize doesn't matter, but the sharpness, contrast and colours are very important. Thanks a lot.
Budget?

around 700-800ish
My main tool is Adobe Photoshop
What's /g/'s opinion on CopperheadOS?
https://copperhead.co/android/
It's a hardened custom ROM that's directly based on AOSP and is aimed to be stable, bugfree and more secure than Stock. It's only available for a handful of Nexus devices (Nexus 5, Nexus 9, Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P) but Copperhead provides support for them as long as Google does, so major version updates for at least two years after launch & security updates for three years after launch along with 1.5 years after the last device is sold. The sources for Copperhead are also available on GitHub.
Although the ROM itself is available as a free download for all devices, donations are welcome and devices with CopperheadOS preinstalled can be bought from their website (for non technical users or just to support them). Directly bought devices also include web-based support.
Here is a list of their changes/additions to AOSP, in case you're interested in the technical details:

I found this guide detailing how to manually disable Windows 10 telemetry.

Question: If I follow the steps detailed in this guide, will it break steam?
>>55630185
probably not.

Well firstly that's all photoshop and she looks nothing like that
I'm going to go pick up my new pc next week and I'm mostly decided on the specs, but I'm having trouble deciding on a few things.
My budget is 1k so I'm already a little over, but I can get an i3 6100 instead of the 880k for $20 more, even though performance should be similar. Especially in dx12/vulkan.
Is the 880k better value after overclocking? It's quad core vs the i3 which is dual core and I shouldn't need a new heatsink to overclock it because it has that new fancy one from AMD.
Can I get some thoughts on this? I appreciates any input, since it's been a while since I've built a desktop and I'm sure you're much more knowledgeable than me.

I don't know how well those chips overclock . Since games don't run on dual cores you might want to get the amd but most games run on dual core. Intel's individual cores are faster on average than amds. Pros and cons with each
>>55629919
You can find Rx 480's for cheaper than that. Should save you some cash.
6100 I'd say would be better, especially if you get a motherboard that can overclock it with a bios downgrade.
>>55630011
Intel is still 4 threads, so games will run fine...
>>55630036
Oh then nvm .
Should I keep learning C language or switch ti Windows and install League of Legends?
punk
>>55629884
install dota, its better
>>55629913
1. My laptop is shit, it runs dota only on the lowest setting which makes the game look like shit
2. I hate 1 hour long matches
I'm looking for advice with RFID or an alternative.
I'm working on a project where I need to be able to detect the pages of a very large "book" (around 20 pages and something like 1 m2 squared).
I need to be able to detect each page to know where the book is open (ie which page).
This was done with RFID tags and sensors but these can't be too close, so it limits the number of pages (only 3 readers can be placed on each side with the current size, see pic related)
I know RFID readers will fuck up if placed more closely, especially with passive tags.
I could put more and turn each one on and off, but it's advised to do so every 100ms, and I'm afraid doing this too much would make it "slow", as I want this system to be reactive. 100ms doesn't seem like much but if you start doing it for multiple sensors it'll begin to add up.
Does anyone have a suggestion concerning RFID or an alternative method of detection?
It needs to run on a computer and pass through USB, current system is using phidgets sensors so sticking with phidgets stuff would be the easiest
>>55629498
perhaps photoresistive sensors?
or if the system can be separate from the book, try cameras and machine learning/artificial intelligence?
also try >>>/diy/
>>55629636
cameras are not possible as people are going to interact with the book, and the pages will be blank, images will be projected on it.
I need to know the physical page I'm on so I can project stuff on it, the goal is to have an interactive book (with videos/ animations on the pages)
I'll also try on diy, thanks
embed capacitors (or resistors) in the pages such that they click together
they will stack up in a parallel circuit and the capacities will add up
or print a QR code on each page, those are pretty robust
Ayy yo, tablet thread
Anyone know where I can find a good quality Windows tablet for low price.
Mostly want it for notes, reading comics, browsing memes and news.
How long have you had a tablet, do you like it, would you get another?
it's 2016. you can't meme browse unless you're on a computer or a iphone.
>>55629413
Waaat? No way!
>>55629388
You could get a used Surface Pro 2 for about $350.
Decent battery life of about 5-7 hours, ultrabook tier performance, and a Wacom digitizer.
can someone please help me find out what this android status bar icon is for?
>>55629386
It shows up when your Android device is telling you it loves you. you've taken good care of it, congrats.

Is there a browser that won't rape my RAM just for DARING to open a few dozen tabs?
>>55629001
what are you loading in those tabs?
are you using ABP or UBO?
No, you're welcome to stop using the internet if it bothers you.
In fact i recommend it.

Why is literally every service that "respects your freedoms" rightfully associated with pedophilia and various other illegal shit? I used to care about privacy but now I'm honestly beginning to think the "only terrorists and pedos need privacy" claim is quite accurate.
>>55628964
You don't need privacy, yet.
>>55628964
No problem OP, go ahead and oppress yourself so you don't feel like a neck beard.
how the fuck are there php based sites which operate without getting rooted?

Am I fucked up now? My harddrives are encrypted. What should I do?
just thoroughly format it before you give it to them?
