Why are Elitebooks so much more cheaper than Thinkpads? Aren't they equivalents?
>>70243080Maybe price/performance wise. Build wise they feel and look cheaper.

My x230 randomly shuts down, has anybody else seen this problem? It's almost certainly a hardware issue, as it doesn't go through the OS shutdown process, and simply abruptly turns off, as if the power was cut.I'm also certain that it hasn't anything to do with the battery, as this has also happened whilst it was plugged in to the wall. I've seen some chatter about bad thermal paste application out the factory causing the CPU to reach an obscene temperature and force a shutdown.Anyone have any ideas?

>>70243172I've had some pretty good logitech dome keyboards in the past. That amazonbasics board looks worse.
Just got the Planck Light kit in the mail from Massdrop.Easy to assemble, but not that impressed with the keycaps. Also, the ortholinear layout is fucking with my wpm.Anyways, please r8 or h8. And, any recos for translucent keycaps?

How come Chocolatey is never even mentioned here? Yes, it's a Windows thing and far from perfect; but, it's pretty useful for Windows users. How is this package manager so underrated.

How does anyone actually learn how to program but by teaching themselves? I have never seen anyone actually get taught successfully how to program, they're either able to figure it out independently or they can't do it at all.

Possibly a dumb question but I am sort of a Linux brainlet. I upgraded my kernel on my Arch distro using pacman to 5.0.2 and now whenever I start it up it says it can't start kernel modules. After a 1:30 start job it fails. I can't connect to the internet (even through Ethernet), x server fails to start, etc etc. What do? Luckily I have a backup running the 4.19 LTS but still.
>>70243256You need to recompile the modules for the new kernel.
>>70243120Lesson learned my dude, I don't know what I was thinking installing a distro made by KDE devs. I thought it'd be stable because I figured it would be Ubuntu + KDE apps. But they use their own versions of a bunch of stuff and here we areAnyways, I think I found the issue. SDDM is compiled against a specific version of Qt5. Neon updates to a more recent version of Qt5 which SDDM is no longer compatible with (SDDM must be recompiled)So now I'm trying to recompile SDDM against whatever version of Qt they installed. If I get that far my concern is:How do I install it cleanly? If I do the wholecmake ..makesudo make installIsn't it just going to barf the files all over /usr/wherever? How do I uninstall it later when they fix the package?
>>70243144Never used acme, but if it allows you to add bash commands then you could consider using gksudo instead of just sudo, which will pop up a graphical password input box before running the command.
I want to get into to building electronics. What are the most essential components I need to get before I get started? I already own a breadboard, arduino, raspberry pi, some wires, LEDs, and a few 220 resistors.Also what are some useful beginners resources or tutorials?
>>70239208Get a multimeter, a 3.3/5/12V power supply, and a proper solder station (a basic one is enough, but make sure it's high quality)Don't get stuck with Arduino, the microcontroller world is much bigger than that. Also, buy some modules like bluetooth, alphanumeric screen, NFC or whatever gets your attention, otherwise you'll get bored really fast with those LEDs.
>>70242870>no.. no way too advanced, too expensive. one step at a time anonI agree, but if OP gets serious about electronics he will want one eventually>Absolute must, a good one i got bkprecision for $100 love it more than my Flukeyeah that's why I said it>kind of but not really, yetOP don't listen to this guy>noyes
>>70239208Learn ohms law, learn Altium, get to know the Chinese. That should do it.
>>70243123but what do you think he is going to start doing off the bat?
>>70239208If you don't keep a soldering station on your desk ready to go then you're not serious about electronics. Breadboard was made for parents to give to their kids so they don't burn themselves.

I assume you'd need to buy the hardware streaming google thingy first yes (for 40-60$) then it will have a subscription with unlimited games for whatever pricethe publishers will get a % of earningsIt WILL not have multiple subscriptions, that makes no senseAnd it WILL NOT have a subscription just for the service, that makes no sense eitherAnyways even if it's 30-40$ (and works) it's still convenient vs costly cash investmentPlus google will make money off ads and data tooMoreover they will likely operata at massive loss for the first 1-2-3y and then hike prices afterwards when everyone's hooked i assume

>>70243138>How the fuck am I supposed to have make create that tree?This should have been the first thing to ask yourself when you chose make. Although I seriously doubt your project is that complex that you couldn't do it without bypassing the core of make.>Currently I generate rules with big ass buildfiles/obj/tgt.o targets.That's nice I guess, how does that big ass buildfiles/obj/tgt.o differ from any other .o being built?>just didGood for you, I'm still completely sure you've built up a big pile of garbage.
>>70243198>This should have been the first thing to ask yourself when you chose makeWell we did, what we came up with is a lot of variables for directories building one on top of the other.>That's nice I guess, how does that big ass buildfiles/obj/tgt.o differ from any other .o being built?Well binaries go to buildobjs/bin, objects to buildobjs/obj, deps to buildobjs/deps, vendored code to buildobj/lib, and the content of those directories also katch the contents of their source files, so if you have src/a/b/c/d.c you end up with buildobjs/obj/a/b/c/d.o, buildobjs/deps/a/b/c/d.d, and so on without any need to hardcode this functionality in the makefile, it autodiscovers everything and maps it all to the correct build tree.>I'm still completely sure you've built up a big pile of garbage.Maybe, but ive grown to like my garbage. I use tree buildobjs and I get nice output

What is your career path?I was working as a C software dev for 2 years after graduating from the uni and it was terrible.People were intelligent but borderline mentally ill.I switched to a small travel agency that needed tech support + developer for their in-house booking system I made from scratch. Also made them the website and other shit.I earn a really nice salary even though sometimes I would like to work on a bigger project.I am really happy here and would never go back to being a code monkey in a software dev company.
Got a mechatronics engineering degree. Currently work andajor shipping company and get paid 75k to clean 4 printers once a day.
I was 4 years in college, i changed from finance to engineering, i never passed a single subject.
