Why is micro USB such shit? Every single micro USB cable I've owned has stopped charging properly or just falls out of the port on my phone. I bought an xbox one controller for my pc, and I can't even use it after barely a month of use, cause the fucking micro USB connector cuts out constantly if it isn't held at just the right angle, making the controller disconnect. Is there a single decent micro USB cable on the market?

stop buying chink shit cables
not saying you should buy monster, but i doubt their cables have these problems
Never had one fail. Maybe stop being a fucking gorilla, OP.

django vs rails, /g/? Or anything better?
NodeJS, by a landslide
>>51437565
Why?
>>51437865
It scales better than the other two, can allow for isomorphic sites, and has more developers on it currently, so you have access to more (in quality and quantity) modern packages and better support from the crowd.

I'm trying to figure out if my WRT54G is limiting my gaming performance.
I'm using it to directly connect to my PS4 to play Destiny (not wifi)

10/100 or gigabit?
Aren't these things only 100mbit? If so, then yes, that's probably it
>>51437260
Just looked on the front and noticed it's actually a WRT54GS.

Would you pay for unmetered but throttled mobile internet?
For example imagine a company offered 1Mbps for $40, 2Mbps for $60, 4Mbps for $80, and 8Mbps for $100. All plans would also include unmetered mobile hotspot + unliminted calling/texting.
In theory these speeds running for 12 hours a day/31 days a month would let you download:
~160GB for 1Mbps
~320GB for 2Mbps
~640GB for 4Mbps
~1280GB for 8Mbps
Would such a service even be possible to maintain?
Seems pretty fair, I would pay for that. The 1 Mbps plan would be more than enough for me. Even 360p youtube video streams are like 500 kbps so 1 Mbps isn't really that bad.
This would put comcast on suicide watch though. They have like a 250GB data cap. They would sperg out and try to sue the loving fuck out of this company though.
>>51437410
Comcast is probably paying mobile carriers to not do this.
As much as I love "muh speed" I would rather pay for unmetered internet. $100 for 8mbps for unmetered mobile hotspot sounds like a dam good deal to me.
/g/ I need some help. Right now I have some pleb-tier headphones, old as fuck and also very cheap. So I want to get some new ones, and I can't decide between Audio Technica M30X and M40X and Kingston HyperX Cloud 2. What do you recommend?
>>51437130
Neither, buy Gentoo headphones
Get the m40x's, why wouldn't you buy audio equipment from an actual & reputable audio company.
>>51437130
If you're looking in that price range I'd actually go for Sennheiser hd280 pros. I love my ath m50s but Sennheiser has them beat for $80-100 imho.

I dunno if that will work but sounds interesting.

you cannot give up your password if the data will incriminate you
as long as it's not secured with a biometric password

they could simply retain you indefinitely though

Kali isn't supposed to be installed, it's a live distro.
Run it in a VM or from a usb stick.
I followed the guide on the official site and never had any problems.
Can I run it from a DVD instead of a usb stick?

Lets have a careers thread. It'll be fun to see what type of people post on /g/.
What are you currently doing (work or studying)?
What are you plans for the next few years?
What's shit about everyone else's plans in the threads?
Any advice for others? (fuck anyone who says that goes on /adv/, it's a shit board that's 99% people bitching about relationships).
For me:
Currently in the first year of an integrated Master's course at a Russell Group uni in the UK, in 4 years I'll have a Masters in Maths.
