So /g/ , I am 27 and I have literally nothing to ask my folks for Christmas. They keep bugging me to ask for something, so I started looking into these Chinese handheld Android gaming tablets. I want it mostly for emulation, especially now that PSP emulation is working well on Android. There's a few models of JXD, JXD-S7800B, JXD-S7300C, JXD-S7800A,. JXD-S5800 ... and a few of GPD, GPD X9, GPD Q9, GPD G7, GPD Q88+
Most look like gigantic PSPs, but the GPD XD has a Nintendo-DS style clamshell design, despite having only one screen.
Most of the specs are pretty damn similar, as are the prices. I am looking to toss in a microSDHC card and have all the NES, SNES games and some PSP games on there.
Does /g/ have any experience with these chinese android tablets?

Ask for a novelty coffe cup or some socks you fucking manchild
let me just get this out of the way
you're twenty seven and your parents buy you gaming consoles for christmas?
Ask for a job offer
Or better yet a proper education
What the Fuck is the point of mechanical keyboards.
They feel nice
They're more durable, and make a satisfying clicking noise (depending on which switch you have) when pressed. It's just personal preference.

feels and the noise
Talk and speak about the language. Who writes in Go? What's your opinion about this language?
I'm currently writing a little framework for cli based apps.And i'm loving it.This language has good tool support and makes me very productive.Coming from a heavy C programming background, i don't like that the language doesn't allow you to explicitly manage your memory.But from the 1.5 update on the GC makes this language very good.
Also i had programmed in c++/java/php and javascript.And fell in love with how simple si to build network applications...

What use does it have? Why would you want to go out and relearn a new language when you can just use C# with world class IDE.
>>51579652
If c# make you more productive and you can mantain the code written in c# it's ok.But if you consider it cluter,bloted like java go to GoLang it's much more nicer code and not code like class MyFoo : MyBar, MyDick, YourDick { //code } it's much more nicer to just type Myfoo struct {} and if you want to implement just interface just Write with the same name the method it's implements all the other interfacer automatically
Is there a difference between this and the 250gb samsung for 80?
Samsung in question
Is SanDisk the better deal?
The Samsung is gonna be a much better drive. Whether or not a higher write speed and longer life is worth the extra $20, is up to you.
why does windows need to restart after installing drivers when linux and OSX don't?
>>51578139
Son linux restarts pretty often after major updates. It's just a meme spread by butthurt nix users.
I use dualboot when the urge arises to play a game, well all my graphics updates never required a restart on windows 7. Could it be that you enver touched windows since XP?
>>51578203
>major updates
Yeah, there's like two a year, whereas Windows requires you to restart at least a couple times a week. It's not a meme, it's true.
>>51578139
Because Windows sucks. Is that what you wanted to hear? Now fuck off.
>>51578203
Times had to reboot from updates in Windows: too many to count
Times had to reboot from updates in Linux: 0

Is it worthwhile to download 4k content for playback on a 1440p monitor?
The only actual 4K content right now is porn. Netflix/YT 4K shit is complete shit no better than 1080p.
>>51578307
Not even the bitrate?
LTT used 4K video purely because of the increased bitrate, even upscaling his1080p content.
>>51578307
>The only actual 4K content right now is porn.
Simply false. A cursory google search would have shown that to you.
So with the nexus 6p, I'll be getting my first no contract smartphone, and I recently found out about Google Project Fi. Is it worth trying out? If not, what plans would you say are best for no contract phones?
>>51577500
just get tmobile
>>51577511
you use it? what's the benefit?
>not getting the T-Mobile 30 freedombuckaroos a month plan
what are you, some kind of faget? And anyways, if you use more than 1 gig of data a month, project Fi can get expensive.
What can I do right now to get better at programming as quickly as possible in the early stages of learning it?
Going through SICP? Or learning basic syntax and trying to build something along with constant googling and inevitable spaghetti code?
>>51577474
Posting in the right thread helps, otherwise it's a matter of learning the language and breaking down others' code until you understand it. You have to learn various ways to do essentially the same thing and different models to apply elsewhere. Something as simple as generating a random color and applying it to an object on a timer could take a day or three of googling now because you don't have any models for similar actions.
In no order, preferably all at once:

That's the most important thing for which they're criticizing MS? Updates using up data? Really?
What did gentoo ever do to Richard?
I guess Stallman is a ubuntu-fag now.
>I guess Stallman is a ubuntu-fag now.
he has an even lower opinion of ubuntu, what the hell are you talking about?
>>51577351
he only has a low opinion on gentoo because they call it gentoo linux, rather than gentoo GNU/linux and that is treating him and GNU with disrespect.
He uses GNuisance mostly in ttys. He does have X installed and it's the default GNOME desktop. He rarely uses X, just for viewing shit from email that requires X
Source: not a newfag like OP and now basically everything about Stallman

Come to Brasil faggots, this shit starts at R$ 7299,00. 1 Dollar = R$ 3,8.
R$7299,00 / 3,8 = $1920 US dollars for the 32GB model.

>/g/ praises mechanical keyboards
>defends software navigation buttons
Why? Physical buttons are better in every single way
having physical buttons on a smartphone is kind of like having a keyboard with mixed switches (some blue, some rubber, some black, let's say). it's inconsistent. you either go full phys or full touch.
>>51577183
meanwhile smartphones still have physical buttons.
They dont waste space
Anyone currently doing typing jobs online? My workplace is going to shit and I have 120 wpm, interested in seeing if it's worth working at home (if feasible). There was a /g/ thread I saved a long time ago, but I'm at work atm and want to know if anyone has any perspective to offer.
Yes. I shill Apple products for 5 cents a post all day on /g/.
some third worlder woud probably do 4000 words for a dollar

Who is this semen demon?
Why did Samsung sell their HDD division to Seagate? Their drives were reliable, fast, and very popular. Now I don't know anymore.
I guess I'll have to get a Seagate and cross my fingers. WD asks too much for their black series.
Get Toshiba. Toshiba got the good part of Hitachi. WD got the shit part.
>>51576652
I was looking at Toshiba. I might give them a shot since my confidence in Seagate has always been low.
Because selling HDDs is a high volume low profit business

I'm looking for some headphones for my brother, I don't even know if he cares about music anymore but he used to live for it.
