If you guys hate windows 10 so much because "muh botnet", and, why don't we just make a community fork of this? Or just use the registry hack that allows you to continue getting updates until 2019?
a community fork of proprietary software?
It's called XFCE.

Sure, I mean, it might be technically illegal but you really think Microsoft would give a shit? Its XP.
Analytics is NOT spying. It's aggregated data. It isn't or is stripping away anything personal and keeping it simple. Not your filenames but your file extensions used. Not your content being shown in your program but the name of your web browser/version. Not your inputs but the time you spent on one program. This can all be very useful information and is anonymized into one big cluster. Anything unique is most likely thrown out.
Why does /g/ get so upset of Windows 10 telemetry?
>Microsoft does not care that a random Windows 10 user (let's call him George), used a particular app for 40 minutes yesterday, or that he installed an app and only used it once, or that he changed his default browser from Edge to Chrome yesterday.
>In fact, they are so not interested in George's individual activities that they anonymize the telemetry data returned by Windows 10 so that it cannot be used to personally identify him. You and I are similarly protected.

Reminder that the only acceptable laptop size is either 11" or 12", with an external display when you're at home.
Everything else is "portable" desktop tier and your money is better spent in an iMac.
Just bought a base model 13" Retina with education discount. I probably did good. I mean it's at least an upgrade to the 2011 Acer I was using.
OH JESUS FUCKING CHRIST

Alright, faggots. You're going to take a first-year computer science class at MIT.
https://www.edx.org/course/introduction-computer-science-mitx-6-00-1x-6
Register. It starts next week.
>But Python is for plebs!
Well, good thing that Harvard is running a course that uses C and recommends Linux. No excuses. This one is even self-paced.
https://www.edx.org/course/introduction-computer-science-harvardx-cs50x
>But muh blub languages!
I SAID NO EXCUSES. Here's a course that uses Scheme. This one is also self-paced.

Those are your choices. If you don't choose any of these, you're a lazy sack of shit.
Even if you already know the basics of programming, you will almost definitely get something out of these if you haven't had a formal education yet. If we do it together, we can make threads about it and encourage each other. I'm doing the third one, and I've been programming for 2 years.
>>52305757
I already have a computer science degree though.

Saw this up in JB-Hifi the other day, and holy shit, this is the worst keyboard I've ever used.
How can you macfags possibly defend this?
>>52305417
it looks real nice, check out those sleek lines and how portable it is
damn apple makes such beautiful products
>>52305417
Not an applefag but how can you expect a comfy keyboard from something that has to be as thin and lightweight as possible?
>>52305684
that's the thing, it DOESN'T have to be as lightweight as possible.
>4100 mAh battery
>5" HD screen
>8 core CPU
>13MP camera
>2GB RAM
>microSD slot
>probably less than $200
Yep, Redmi 3 confirmed for best phone of 2016.
>>52305374
>chink shit
>probably has no support
No thanks, I'll stick to my Nexus 5.
Although I would appreciate a bigger battery.
>>52305474
I don't even think Xiaomi still has North American LTE bands on their phones anyway. I would rather get that Alcatel idol 3 chink phone where you can atleast return it to amazon if something stops working instead of a shady Chinese seller.
>>52305374
>No 10000 mAh battery
No thanks.
>official retail packaging

So it comes with a controller and shit?
Neat.
Also, you grossly underestimate the costs, or lack thereof, when it comes to these kinds of packages. Sure, it costs _something_ but for mass production it's nothing to talk about.

What's the best programming language and why is it D?
How to you feel when you see an imperative monkey trying to show off his shit register-juggling language?
Amused?
Pity?
What app do you Android users use for offline music playback on your smartphones?
I've tried Poweramp, Rocket Player, and doubleTwist and their user interfaces are all fucking awful.
I'm using pic related if it matters.
>>52303202
just use a different poweramp skin
I use shuttle.

How /g/ approved is lua for a first programming language?
>>52302376
imo, it's very good as a first language and as a language in general. the only problem is that it's not one of the most popular languages, but it's not exactly obscure, like top 30 or so
its good
have fun with your tables
It's nice because it's easy to embed in future projects

>"The world’s first true plug and play Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) external graphics enclosure – the Razer Core supercharges your Ultrabook and transforms it into a full gaming setup. A Chroma-enabled enclosure that houses a full-length, double-wide PCIe desktop graphics card, 4 USB 3.0 ports and Ethernet, the Core has plug and play support for compatible graphics cards which means, there’s no need to reboot your system when you fuse the Razer Blade Stealth with the Razer Core."
>It's not Razer exclusive, you can just buy it and use it on any laptop with TB3.0 port.

Ignorant question incoming
So is usb-c called thunderbolt now because apple had some stuff to do with the creation ?
>>52301800
Can someone explain how this works in terms of drivers?
I don't understand how it redirects the graphics output back through USB, isn't there a bandwidth bottleneck there? Or does this only work with external displays?
Thunderbolt has like 20GB/s both ways I believe.
Are there any /g/ approved launchers for Android or are they all a fat waste of time? Talking of launchers in the regular store since I don't wanna bother to root and all that shit.
I've been running 4.4 for a couple years now and it's getting a little boring and sometimes lags a tad bit too much.
I have pic related so you can put it in perspective.

btw on topic - nokia z launcher is pretty good

Literally why anon, you could've bought the best phone on the market for 99USD
