An iToddler will defend this abomination of ergonomics design, engineering, and material sciences.
>>64192271Idk man I really like my Kindle Does that count? Idk
>>64192271It's because IBM got out of the consumer computing business. Their sobriety and ingenuity kept the competition in check. Without that standard everyone just makes whatever their ADD-addled shit for brains think will sell.
iToddler here. I've MacBook Air 13' 2014 running Xubuntu.Chassis is kinda cool, touchpad is OK (but nipple is cooler), keyboard is shitty, Acer had better ones, that didn't felt like typing on jello, thermals are shitty for 20W CPU.So, build quality is solid 9/10Ergonomics sucks 5/10 at best.Engineering 10/10 for chassis, 6/10 for electronics with not needed sensors in palmrest, CPU proximity etc, 4/10 for thermals, 8/10 for FAN, that is quite quiet at high airflow...And 0/10 for serviceability. Take HP, Dell, Lenovo (not even Thinkpad), you will be able to find service manual for laptop, how to replace keyboard, screen, stuff that wear out...On macbook - you are screwed, keyboard is pain in the ass to replace, PCB is coated with BLAACK so it is difficult to trace traces, and too small for hand soldering SMDs are used. In addition, PCB have sensors nearly everywhere, and if one sensor fails - system underclocks...
The dial is fucking great. Touchscreen controls generally suck. Tactile controls will always be superior and the dial is an incredibly innovative way to bring them to a touchscreen device.

>>64191493Just buy a new one mate, can never have too many pi's laying around
Can it fit inside a Vaio P and is it worth it?
And the policy sets forth standards for agents to do an “advanced search,” which involves connecting the device to a computer to retrieve and copy information. Under the rules, advanced searches are allowed only if there is “reasonable suspicion” and “articulable facts” to support it, and with the approval of a supervisor. The standards for more in-depth searches hadn’t been spelled out before. No such standard exists for basic searches.What do you do /g/?

>connecting the device to a computerHow would you defend against this? As far as I know, mtp can't be blocked. And they probably use some program to bypass any locks on it anyways. Can you stop this?

OpenBSD mastermind Theo De Raadt saw this intel meltdown coming a decade ago.https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=118296441702631&w=2>At this time, I cannot recommend purchase of any machines based on theIntel Core 2 until these issues are dealt with (which I suspect willtake more than a year). Intel must be come more transparent.

Learning on freecodecamp.Got to this challenge: https://www.freecodecamp.org/challenges/build-a-personal-portfolio-webpageThey expect me to build something similar to : https://codepen.io/freeCodeCamp/full/YqLyXBAll I know so far is bootstrap, basic css, html.Change to the editor view.What am I looking at within the JS editor on the codepen site? Is this bootstrap? Also what am I looking at withing the HTML editor? Why are there no tags?Everything looks so odd. For those that finished the freecodecamp thing, how did you approach this "challenge"?
>>64192873>What am I looking at within the JS editor on the codepen site? Is this bootstrap?you looking at JQuery abd bootstrap.click on the pen settings and you can what libraries are being use to show that code>Also what am I looking at withing the HTML editor? Why are there no tags?because they are using an HTML pre processor (PUG)
Is there any particular reason why PayPal would limit the length of your password? What's the advantage?I usually use phrases for my passwords that goes a bit beyond 20 chars.
I'm trying to make an auth system w.e you call it on sinatra, when trying to verify a user/password with incorrect info I get this, any idea on what's going on?

Does anyone else think that Meltdown and Spectre are overhyped? Don't get me wrong, exploits with that much versitality are dangerous, but why should we give a shit if we have good computer practices. PS: I'm speaking from the perspective of a consumer using a personal computerMeltdown requires the ability to execute code to be activated, so as long as you don't run suspicious binaries you're fine.Spectre can get in through your browser and shit, but it still needs to get past ASLR with code execution, again, as long as we don't run suspicious binaries we're fineIK both exploits are important for cloud computing companies and other high priority targets, but they've already had time to prepare for this.
>>64192864Also, this.It's not only a matter of not running malicious code, a malicious actor could purchase hosting on a service and use the malicious code to break out of the virtual machine and gain access to the server and potentially many other machines on the network.Think about that for a second. Getting access to any website on a host you desire just by paying for a basic hosting plan.
Ultimately, none of the fears are confirmed or disproof yet, so you dont know how far reaching the problems are as well as ramifications from inaction. Or it could be nothing. Point is [eople just simply dont know what the fuck is gonna happen next, and they dont wanna find out - cant afford it - thats why they react the way they did. Yeah both options are shitty, but one is not as shitty as the other so it will do until further. Not knowing fucking suck, especially when your sole purpose is to know.
>>64192123Thats what i thought until i got the update and all my games are unplayable stutterfests now
>Intel flaws allow drive-by JavaScript to read anything from ram such as passwords, SSH and encryption keys>allows any VM to read memory of every other instance on the host>Intel sat on this for six months and didn't tell anyone>only became public knowledge when Intel tried to sneak in Linux patches over xmas
>>64192387>some hardware resellers start offering option of option of ME disabled out of the boxNo, they're not. They say they're going to do that, but they haven't done it yet.

Still thinking of buying an i7 8700k for gaming, as my computer keeps crashing (need a new mobo).Is this a bad idea? Will there be a pricedrop soon?
so, on a scale from 10 to 10, how fucked is intel?
[Laughs in Mandarin]
>>64193692The craziest part is that they are halfway through their new architecture development, which will probably have to be scrapped and started again

>>64193645Its not worth it, there's nothing windows 10 can do that windows 7 can't. The only reason I see to install windows 10 is to use directx 12 because you have a AMD gpu which can benefit from it, if you have a nvidia gpu there is no need for directx 12 because it performs the same as directx 11.
>>64193724Some new hardware components require Windows 10 to function as well
What are the best free anti-virus programs (and their pros/cons)? I haven't used Windows in a long time so I'm totally ignorant about this (it's for my sister's computer). I've googled it and everyone seems to have a different opinion which doesn't help me much.Of course common sense and an ad blocker are a good first line of defense, but what beyond that? What's trustworthy, effective, and not a resource hog?
>>64193724>AMD gpu which can benefit from it, if you have a nvidia gpu there is no need for directx 12 because it performs the same as directx 11am i geting memed on, this sounds like bullshit
>>64193744Like what? You always modify the installation media with the necessary "only for windows 10" drivers needed for the hardware. Example: ryzen usb 3.0 drivers.

It's funny that bill was being a dick but they were doing obviously illegal monopolistic shit.I don't know if yall are old enough to remember but they integrated the web browser into the operating system to such an extent that you couldn't delete it. You'd go to open the control panel and it'd open the fucking browser.These decisions shaped the market and cucked everyones expectations to such an extent that you probably don't even realize how fucked up that is. I'm already anticipating your libertarian retarded replies.
>>64193699How is putting in a peppermint browser illegal?Go fucking use another OS then
>>64193737I use linux, thanks.They were found guilty, appealed and then settled with the DOJ. Microsoft killed off an entire market for browsers and set the precedent that no one would ever pay for a browser again.
If x86 is such misconstrued, vulnerable garbage then why don't we all switch to powerPC?
