Hello /g/.
I need some help with my computer. I am pretty stumped what might be wrong with it. I recently installed W10 and some of my favorite apps and it's just running so slow now.

What do you recommend to start learning quantum computing?
Any books? Pages? Videos?
quantum computing is a meme

Unless you're planning to go into post-graduate research there's literally fuck all point in you doing any swor on it. If you're serious about it though, Vlatko Vedral's textbook is pretty good
Ham radio... anybody here have any interest? I've been an Extra class op for over ten years now. Field Day for this year has come and gone (for those in the US).
inb4 post my call, not going to happen. I'm in the W9 call area, and that's all I'll say.
Pic related; it's my favorite rig.

if it's not a rolex, it might as well not exist
and if you do point out it's not a rolex, they'll just think you're dumb for not getting the rolex
watches aren't something people appreciate unless you're in the company of old men
Women questions about watches:
a) Is that a Rolex?
b) Is that watch expensive, looks like it
That's all women know about watches

Boom, rejected.
I am a compE and EE. I am also teaching myself how to program and server maint/admin. I hope to be proficient in 2-4 years.
I have decided against the Thinkpad because Lenovo's Chinese backstabbery in installing spyware and rootkits in their consumer devices.
So that puts me in the Dell camp. I am thinking of either a Dell Latitude or Dell Precision. It's a 500gram difference.
The Precision would allow me to replace parts and upgrade at will. It is also more powerful than the Latitude by default.
I plan to do some graphics work on either my micro or mini ATX PC, or on the Precision if I decide for that.
The uni has computers and scanners for the 3d printing machines they have. I haven't taken the training course but I presume they also have comps that can do 3-d modeling and all that.
I am not sure if the Latitude is powerful enough for CAD whereas the Precision by default.
Still, I will mostly be doing programming and compiling. I will mostly be doing C/C++, Java, HTML, XML, CSS, Javascript, Ajax, FORTRAN, PASCAL, LISP, Scheme, ADA, C, C++, PHP, JavaScript, Perl, Prolog, FORTH, and vertex editing, 2 and 3-d modeling, etc
Will a Latitude be capable of this or should I gab a Precision?
tl;dr: Latitude or Precision for programming and CAD? Precision is also upgradable right whereas Latitude is not, right?
>>55272429
Get the Precision. Latitude is just a cucked version of the same thing.

Why is Windows 7 so light weight? I'm sitting here on a Core 2 Duo T7300 that's throttled to 800mhz, with a 7200RPM 500GB hard drive, and it's still snappy af.
Why is Puppy Linux so light weight? I'm sitting here on a 233MHZ processor, with 128MB RAM, no hard drive, and it's still snappy af.
>>55272239
The difference is that Windows 7 is usable, unlike Puppy Linux.
>Use decade old operating system
>WOW GUYS WHY IS THIS OS SO SNAPPY ON HARDWARE FROM THE YEAR IT WAS RELEASED?
why?
Why have a good camera in the back, and a poor one on the front. When you can have a good camera for both sides?
>>55272194
It makes sense, back camera is always a lot better than the front camera, it's pretty smart to make it flip than to have two good cameras.
It's going to be popular because the selfie culture currently.
actually a good idea desu
Is free/g-sync worth it?
Depends, but yes
g sync is just free sync with the apple tax attached to it
I got a sweet deal on a G-sync monitor, it's definitely worth it if you can get a G-sync monitor for not much more than the cost of an otherwise equivalent monitor without G-sync. Freesync doesn't add any additional cost, so that's definitely worth it.

What are you waiting for, anons?

>>55272168
Just configure to copy modifications before reboot or shutdown to SSD.
On boot, the system copy all information saved on SSD to RAM.
