When did /g/ become the luddite board? I blame >muh GNU tards
Projectors in my University/Workplace still use VGA tho.
thoughts?
Where's my towel, I need root
It made me sick. It's a great, frightening documentary. It's also beautiful to see how a very intelligent, successful person just gives up his entire life just so that we know what the NSA is up to... We need more people like Edward Snowden...
Ed is really cute
Can somebody please tell me why this thing gets so much praise?
I got one a few weeks ago because of /g/ and it's absolute shit. It's slow and unresponsive as soon as you get up to around 32GB.
Honestly /g/, do not buy this thing.

>"Print out only cells with emails in them"
the interviewee then proceeds to type "nano readcsv.js" and starts programming. he struggles, has hard time producing runnable code, he tells the interviewer that he programs using VS/Eclipse mostly. he then types "python" and starts programming using interactive mode instead and after a bunch of struggle, produces the desired result.
needless to say, my roommate never got the job offer.
>programmers who only know windows
>>47029686
why didn't he just google how to work with csv files
Just use sed

The anti-AI demonstrations have begun. What do you think?
A lot of people are rightfully afraid they're gonna lose their jobs. Everyone in the driving industry in particular is probably fucked. But this one is framed in terms of emotionality: "caring", etc.
Does widespread anti-AI sentiment make the emergence of hostile strong AI more likely? Musk thinks this is a serious existential risk...
I hope all these retards get their jobs replaced by robots. Of course, I wouldn't be saying that if I wasn't significantly more intelligent than them, but hey, not my problem
>>47029485
Of course they will be out of a job. AI will liberate humanshumananity from the shackles of work. OnceOnce the Singularity comes we will be in a post-scarcity society, ushering a new age of hunanity. Of course, there are far to many useless people, and it doesnt really make sense to be supporting 7billion people, so it probably would be a good idea to purge some of the scum out of humanitys gene pool, or at least sterilize them.
>MUH JERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRBS
If your only useful skill is driving, maybe you don't deserve a job.
>command prompt flickers open for a moment
Does Windows have a log for this shit anywhere?
Fuck man. Nothing scarier
Might as well wipe the drive now.
Considering this is the fastest port and also provides a shit-ton of power, does that mean we will eventually be able to connect an external video card to it to beef up our laptops' graphical power?

You already can on the current MacBook Pro and other laptops

Am i the only one here who feels the masses are misusing the consumer tech?
No, more like they are not utilizing what they are buying.
You see, these days everyone and their grandma have a laptop, the laptop has atleast 4 GB of RAM, a quad core i3 maybe, 500 GB of HDD that they'll never use, and probably an Intel HD Graphics, which still is a beast.
And what do most of the people use their laptops for? Web browsing, some light media watching, checking their mails, or using the word processor or excell sheet?
These all tasks comprise 95% of all consumer tasks, a very small minority actually uses their laptops for anything other than these purposes.
Clearly, these machines are bulldozers, but they are being made to drag a paper boat. I dont have people anything against people buying whatever they want. They can buy the latest Razer laptop for all i care. But what bothers me is, that if they wanted to do something that simple, they should have bought the cheapest laptop. And dont get me started on iDevices. People use them for video editing at best, but do not realize that their consumer tier laptop which is cheaper has a better GPU to edit videos.
If the processor was running on an ondemand governor, i can bet that the third and fourth core will never be used, the HDD wont go over 250 GB mark, no way, and the best that the GPU will probably ever render is a cat video on youtube or an highdef movie.
In short, the masses are very very uninformed.
Anyone else who feels so?

>Intel HD Graphics, which still is a beast.
It is at this point that I stopped visually processing the content of your post.
The average computer is WAY overkill for what the average user does with it. Pretty sure everyone knows this.

Automatic transmissions suck
I haven't been this excited about technology ever since bitcoin and vr.

Exciting times! Finally something might yet come out of the Snowden / Prism saga.

No interest?

if it is US based, it is literally shit
tfw gmail will never do this because it would cut into their profits if they can't scan your email and sell info to the highest bidder whenever they see fit.
Starting up this thread because i thought it was fun.

>Did an inverter blown a capacitor on your motherboard?
This might have happened, I used an inverter with my T420 when I went of a road trip a few months ago. I'm pretty sure it started to fuck up and not boot after that too. Could I solder on a new one if I buy some decent tools?
about to buy a x220 off of amazon for $300 to use as a programming machine.
is it worth it to install a ssd? i dont know if i want to install a msata along with the harddrive or just get rid of the hard drive all together
Who is this marketed towards?
What's the target demographic?
People for whom computers are not a hobby, not a job, but just a tool.
Aka not you or me or anyone who goes to /g/.
Morons
People who want a high quality ultra portable computer.
