So I saw a bunch of people here use the Think Pad laptops, and was wondering what would be the best one to buy for my dad, who budget is $1,000.
All he wants is a large HDD (or ssd), for all his work.
Would there be any better alternative to the Think Pads? Macbook maybe?
>>52054559
ThinkPad T450 is excellent.
MACBOOK? hahah... Thinkpads are best, but unfortunately the new "thinkpads" are shit macbook wannabies.
HP elite books are the best NEW laptops, and there are currently two of them under your budget http://-tinyurl-.-com/jmwkjba (remove dashes (-) press "view options")
Possibly other places that have cheaper Elite books. Depends on what he does you COULD get him a solid used thinkpad x200 and just buy a new battery and upgrade RAM and a new SSD.
There are some driver problems with windows 10 on thinkpad x200 though.

what about the Dell XPS?
They look very nice, and seem like they can do the job nicely.

WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON
anyone know if its a DDOS, or has my CC and Login credentials been leaked.
I would like to add that the page kept cycling through languages and i was logged into random accounts. Weird.
>inb4 >>>/v/
this is a security breach, not a video game. Pertains to technology more than videogames.
>>52054372
Steam just emptied my bank account, 800€.
Please help. Shit is fucking going nuts
>>52054372
/v/ has like 5 million posts about this already
>some caching issue
>valve took like 2 hours before they finally shut their shit down
>they say it's only a "caching issue" and not a security breach
>nevertheless you can still see other people's names, phone numbers, emails, and last digits of their credit cards
>>52054372
>>52054388
nothing has been breached.
this is a caching issue that ends up showing you someone else's account.
nobody can even make a purchase or change anything about your account.
the only things that would be stolen is paypal address, phone number and purchase history, and the last 2 digits of your credit card (not the security code).
And you wouldn't be stupid enough to give steam your phone number, right?
I hate to drag games shit into /g/ but can anybody explain what exactly is going on with steam right now?
People get a different user profile everytime they refresh and can look at all their account infos.
>>52053842
I hate you.
I don't know, i don't do any gaymen. My quess is that Valve did something to Steam and this is either on purpose or not on purpose.

Your computer keyboard isn't a touch screen. Why reject objectively superior physical keyboards on a phone, Anons?
>>52053308
because its nearly 2016 and no one wants to deal with a clunky ass keyboard taking up space.
>>52053308
Because there are no ones left, on devices that aren't shit that is.
>implying I don't still have a qwerty phone from 2011
If RAM wasn't so small it would still be a beast
Because I don't type long texts or write documents on my smartphone and neither do most people so software keyboards suffice?
Hello, /g/. I am that guy who coded a webserver and scripting language suite in QB64 (BASIC).
I designed a new template for my website and am in need of some constructive feedback.

This looks like a malware site.
You should keep your website as simple as possible, to the minimum amount of information.
And please never use gradients on a website. It looks like you got silly with the hex codes.
>>52053299
with that picture u posted u arent gonna get shit.
>>52053320
thanks.
I am currently attempting to condense the focus of my site. What kind of information is off putting?
Why not make an SSD out of RAM and use it as both the hard drive and the memory?
>>52052715
Just buy a bunch of ram and make a ramdisk, that's what I do for my swap space.
>>52052749
Is it possible to have a reverse RAM disk that uses a hard drive as if it were RAM?
>>52052715
Because RAM costs ~$10 per GB and ssds are <$1 per GB

Is that anything like codeeval?
I've been using it to learn C and algorithms.
To illustrate how much I improved, the fizzbuzz challenge took me 5 hours.

What does /g/ think about DDR4 RAM is it a waste of cash or?
>>52051694
yes just like broadmeme/memelake
>>52051694
>is it a waste of cash
the biggest
Why is it a waste of cash, isn't it better?
So /g/, I just got a Artura Microbrute for Xmas. The problem is it doesn't produce sound. Ik it's just a mixer and it needs to hook up to a program like Frootyloops or Abelton live (I have the cracked version of FL Studio 12) I dont have the chord to connect it or the knowledge to do it. Do you have any advice, /g/?
Also, I know this might belong on /mu/, but that board doesn't help
You are the dumbest motherfucker on the planet. What do you mean it's "just a mixer" it has literally nothing to do with mixers. Plug a pair of headphones into the headphone port and play with your new toy and go read the manual.
Pic of I/O ports? If you use Linux, chances are the device will be discovered by JACK, which makes it trivial to use with any application really
>>52051726
He's using FL studio, which means Windows. Yes it probably works under wine but you and I both know that's not the situation. There are guaranteed to be 1million threads on Forums asking "how do I connect my Microbrute to FL Studio", in those exact words; OP is just intellectually lazy.
Merry fucking christmas

Should I upgrade my CPU or my graphics card?
I'm using an i5 quadcore at 3.4ghz per core, and a 7870 2gb Tahiti LE super wanker something or other at roughly 1130mhz clock speed
The GPU is rather potent for 1080p gaymen but its rather loud and runs somewhat hot
>>52051652
upgrade both. get a xeon 18 core and two titan x's

Why is nvidia such an asshole?
>sabotage AMD
>screw people with older viable nvidia cards with easily compatible but incompatible mandatory shit like gameworks
>trying to fuck over pc gay men with a monopoly
>patent everything and never use it and allow no one else to use it
>everything is closed source
>lie repeatedly to customers like with the gtx 970
Why is it nvidia's fault that AMD is dog shit at tessellation?
It's business.
You don't get to be top dog by carrying everyone and patting everyone on the head.
If you want to be the biggest you've got to be a mean fuck.
Holy shit I didn't know any of this. I'll definitely switch to a Radeon for my next update, Open Source is just wonderful
AMD released a new GPU driver on christmas day and it's literally broken.
THANKS AMD
