Why doesn't /g/ like 15+ inch laptops?
inb4 weight
>>45453338
/g/ has shit taste
always bet against /g/
>>45453338
>buying a portable device and making it less portable by giving it a large display
13" is the master race, deal with it. 11" is the secondary race.
>>45453387
I respectfully disagree. I believe 14" is the best size for a laptop, 13" follows it closely.
Good day.
Why does /g/ like their thinkpads so much?
They can be acquired for $200 or less on eBay and make good Linux laptops
>>45445615
Buyers remorse and the need to belong to a community.
Thinkpads are the MLP of laptops
>>45445638
What laptop do you use that's so great, then?
First time posting here; I hope this is an appropriate place to ask this (wasnt sure if this goes here on on /sci), but exactly what technologies would be affected by a major emp blast, either by a mega flare or a weapon of sorts? What devices would still be usable in a worst-case scenario of such an event? This is not a "how to prepare" question, I'll save that for /out/ or /pol/.
>>45443906
Watch "Zankyo no Terror."
Electronic ones mostly
>>45443922
Or just watch "Watashi ga Motenai no wa Dou Kangaetemo Omaera ga Warui" instead.
Thinkpad HATE thread.
Fact 1: They are overpriced
Fact 2: They have no USP (unique selling points). It's just a generic laptop
Fact 3: Their quality is exactly average.
Thinkpad comparable to a Macbook Pro 13:
ThinkPad X240. It costs at least 1700€ in a comparable configuration. It's actually MORE expensive to get a Thinkpad than to get a Macbook.
And yet the Macbook Pro 13 still has 6-9 hours of battery life compared to the Thinkpads 3-6h and better build quality by some margin.
I literally bought a Macbook because it was the CHEAPEST laptop in that range.
But Lenovo created the only x86 tablet with 4GB of RAM.
I NEEEEEEED one.
>>45447859
you need a brain, that's what you need
>>45447884
but muh pocket x86 windows that isn't on shit hardware

How long do you reckon until it can suck you off
In all seriousness though, holy shit, this is downright mindblowing
Noice.
Finally decent tactile feedback on touchscreens.
Very nice
Somewhat sadly, 3D waifu is the first thing that comes to mind
>>45447377
you do realize that they literally have tactile feedback for touchscreens but no company wants to adopt it right?

I want to store 35petabytes of data, how can i do it?
>>45445767
Install gentoo
You post on /g/ asking for advice on $50+ million dollar system.
Buy about 18000 2TB hard drives.
Optical media starts to degrade after about five years. Hard drives fail in five years, ten if you're lucky.
How do I preserve my digital media so that it's not gone in 20-30 years?
All my googling suggests that I'm best off printing off pictures I want to store in the long run and stick them in a cool, dark, dry place.

Tape

I mean if you're a fan of artifact
So why aren't you using golang? What's your excuse?
Let's get some shit out the way first
> muh generics

> muh unused variables

> muh memory safety

>google botnet

So whats your excuse now
Because go was created to simplify stupidly simple middleware, mostly shut involving multiple data streams
I don't do that crap
Don't, OP. Don't. Go is too precious to let /g/ have its way with it.
>>45446606
>Because go was created to simplify stupidly simple middleware
Where the fuck did you hear that?
Okay faggots I'm going in hard
2nd attempt btw, last time I think some real life shit got in the way, now I have time and no distractions and I want to do this
>>45446971
what the actual fuck
I had a feeling this would not go smoothly
oh well, this is just the start, not giving up at the first hurdle
>>45447005
Okay I've figured out why this happened, thanks Arch website

FUCK I just renewed my pass 2 days ago
Goddamn i dont feel like paying another 100 dollars for windows 7 but its fucked to pirate it if something goes wrong. Is it really that risky to just pirate it? It'd be fully functional just like every other shit right?
>>45442009
If you have a license key (located on OEM machines) it's not illegal to torrent it.
the loaders are all closed source, so you can use them and a lot fo people do, but who knows if they can eb trusted.
you could try not being a jew, if there's one thing you want official it's probably going to be your OS.
>>45442083
Windows 7 OEM licenses are tied to the motherboard they are installed to. Who told you this? This isn't the same as emulators
new stupid questions thread
What's the difference between FF 34.0 and 34.0.5, and why won't it update itself to 34.0.5 on its own? I'm using en-GB version.
Is there/settings an app for Android that has the functionally of a menu button? I dropped my phone and have no access to certain app's settings because it's only accessible through the physical button

You have 10 seconds to explain why your laptop doesn't support USB charging and external USB battery packs.
>>45451629
Because it would literally take a week to charge
>1080p
>full size USB support
>isn't shit
The list goes on
Because I wouldn't be able to use the USB port while charging it.
Google's new "Inbox"
Discuss.
