/k/ - Weapons

haven't watched the video, but as a computer specialist, I hate malware. I only browse the web with noscript, anymore…

So … full30 embed, when? Oh, wait that would probably require a working rewrite of InfinityNext, or whatever the one-and-a-half man team calls it next time they make an attempt.

>watches videos and listens to music in browser

You're special all right.

>>539333

>>539337

Going to the effort of watching a video without using a browser, considering the video is hosted on the web would be more complicated than it's worth.

Or do you mean, watching without leaving 8ch? I have a script installed that auto-plays-on-hover embedded .webms, and that makes hearing how badly the speakers are droning easier because all I have to do is move my mouse, and they stop talking.

Of course it doesn't do that for embedded foreign videos like youtube but still, close the thread, they stop talking. I honestly no idea what you're complaining about; the reason I haven't watched the video, is that it's going to be a bunch of people droning into the camera pretending they have something to say when mostly they don't. Yes, I could watch the video, but I've tried that before and, as grump cat is wont to point out, it was awful.

But this is /k/ … we should be able to embed full30 videos. I mean, we can embed youtube videos, but they don't allow /k/ content so … do you two just have a problem with nice things, or something?

>>539343

What are you watching the video with, if not your browser?

>>539017

Call me when I can buy or make a gun that can not only kill from the other side of the planet but also take control of other people's guns and make them kill whoever as well all while leaving no evidence behind.

Hey faggots nice detour you got there, hope it goes right off a cliff.

>>539360

> what are smart guns

(granted, they don't fire remotely … yet)

>nice detour you got there

To be fair, we all remembered to sage all the time, so that's something.

>>539360

>>539314

Both of these points are addressed in the video. Guys who do break in work need these things in order to help fix flaws in security. Apparently malware does leave a digital trace behind, which is how they know of what hit them.

Kekest of kek.

And you were such a gigantic bichboy to not even speak up. Serve you right, betamax.

>>539343

No computer specialist here but I'm curious as to how you watch videos with a terminal. Is it a linux distro only thing?

But yeah, actually on topic a lot of this garbage comes from fear and a lack of education. Too many people watching cyberpunk movies. Last week at my grandma's house she couldn't figure out why Alexa can't control the christmas lights (she isn't even plugged into)

Cyberpunk culture was cool because the writers thought of computers as magic, when in reality they're simplistic but dense with detail. Everything works sort of as expected, but when you don't know the pathways it's scary.

Same thing with guns. Sure, some more journeymen of the /k/ select few know that you can file down a semi-auto into a fully automatic through some magic I barely comprehend, and surely you can do more damage with ammonia and bleach in an empty glowstick than you can with an AR15. People would rather be terrified than learn something.

>>539597

Yes. I'm not sure windows has the functionality, Mac possibly supports it due OSX being a BSD derivative.

>You still need to install software to do it though iirc

>>539588

You mean everything when you have shit tons of obscure legalese to go through? Did the lawyers actually understand tech or were they just memeing it??

>>539609

Sounds to me like they used the word 'ethical' to keep getting a paycheck because they knew their job was done there. If there's one thing a lawyer's good at, it's bullshitting.

>>539597

If you're on mac/windows, then you should simply kill yourself, and certainly not use these software.

Get out of here. You're hated here.

>>539610

Possibly.i'll wait for 95b4e7 to answer a confirmation though.

>>539642

I've already delved too deep into that end though…

Any source like distros that aren't arch/gentoo derivatives?

People on /k/ still watch InRange? Their video quality went down by a lot.

>>539682

Yeah, Karl isn't so overbearing and the energy is a lot more casual and fun. Heck off, nigger.

Thank you for your demonstration of autism and elitism combined. It shouldn't have been possible, but you made the magic happen.

>>539764

You realize that most guides for terminal watching are bretty basic nowdays?

>>539678

Post software lawyer stories.

>>539647

When I'm doing work I use Linux distros, they're on all my laptops, but on my main computer I use windows because I like to play Stalker. Which is, something that unfortunately isn't very easy to do on Linux. Not that I like windows, I'm still on 7 at least.

>>539843

I fought people playing stalker were lost slave in syberia, or just a meme.

Whatever, there is wine on linux, that allows you to play to anything. I used to play to starcraft 2 and to eve online on linux, using wine.

If you have a powerful computer, you can game through a vm.

Better than fallout.

>>540171

>Whatever, there is wine on linux, that allows you to play to anything.

This is why I say it's not very easy to do. The anon below you basically nailed it on the head. Emulation requires very good hardware- which I thankfully have but would rather not spend the watts on when I can dualboot or use 2 machines. Linux is fantastic but it needs a more efficient way of running games. It's very unfortunate that Linux has to play catchup in that regard because I love linux but it's just not practical outside of work for me.

>>540174

Pls no

>>540199

>Emulation requires very good hardware

Wine isn't emulation. It's a compatibility layer. But you still lose at least 5 to 10% performance in most cases and playing DX10/11 games (aka most games past 2011) is very iffy and unreliable.

Some things work as good as or even Windows with Wine (especially older stuff pre-2008), some things are absolutely awful and will require a lot of time to set up.

>>540204

>some things are absolutely awful and will require a lot of time to set up.

Then stay and windows, and let yourself be buttfucked by microsoft. They're sending a screenshot of your screen every 30 sec, keeping every single shit you're writing with your computer. And don't feel "safe" with windows 7. In both case, you're fucked. Just fire up wireshark without touching to anything on windows 7. You'll see. I don't even talk about windows 10.

I really played to eve online, and starcraft 2 (i was diamond, touching master but barely). But it was long ago, when I was a kid. At some point, you have to grow up.

>one of the retarded diversity hires goes to the boss and presents my work as his

This happened to me in high school on the robotics team. I spent all night designing a pneumatic system, but had to leave 20 minutes early for a doctor's appointment. When I show up to the next meeting, this black kid who's only on the team 'cause he likes cars is in charge of the pneumatics sub-team, and at the end of the season, he wins an award for the system that I designed. It's not like it was a secret that I designed the thing, either; everybody saw me working on it. That kid was a little shit, too, along with his obnoxious wigger friend.

>>540485

If you disable the updates and get an older cracked version of win7 I'm pretty sure there's no telemetry. If you have proof of it absolutely, but so far I've only seen proof of win10

>video games are just for kids

Sorry I don't want to be a fud and get gentoo like I'm a 1960s soviet mathematician. I like my shooters and multiplayer, I like my EXEs, and I definitely like my artificial academy 2 waifus, and I don't want to have to do more work than I already do getting obscure hentai to work.

Wine is an option but recent intel CPU virtualization bugs….. oh gods.

>>540660

Hang on. But the local communist party tells me there are no gods and such thoughts are for reactionary scum!

>CPU virtualization bugs

What are you talking about? Spectre has nothing to do with how the processor handles virtualization.

>>540786

I read that one of the conditions was triggered off of a iGPU virtualization function. I might be probably am wrong cause I saw the original shitfest and not the follow up. IIRC meltdown was page table related and spectre was branch prediction related?

I obviously am retarded and don't understand computers well.

>>540786

having *just* heard about spectre, virtual computer hypervisors, such as are all through the azure and amazon-compute clouds, are the bigger risk because, while no it's not about virtualization, it's not affected by virtualization either. So a modern processor with virtualization optimizations could allow a malicious guest PC read the memory from a supposedly-protected PC running on the same host.

>>540846

>I obviously am retarded and don't understand computers well.

Running WINE isn't appreciably going to increase your attack surface or targetability. You should still strive to not run malware for the fun of it, but the IBM microcode holes aren't any reason at all to not play windows games under linux using WINE to fool the games.

>>540903

That isn't my personal reason. I stand by not really using WINE because I play a lot of old games like PSx emulators, stalker, the original fallout, vamp the masquerade, Artificial Academy, etc that just seem like Wine would have extra issues ontop of. Windows, especially the cracked and update-disabled version I have just seems more easy to use. I still use linux on the MAJORITY of my machines, it's just the one I fuck around on happens to be windows.

Now, if windows 7 had some huge glaring issue other than the usual 'it sucks ass' then I might be willing to put up with the presumed incompatibilities and complexities with playing old and high-end new games.

If you want to drop a knowledge bomb on how WINE works, or could prove it's objectively better and does fine with steam games and GOG disks I'd totally consider it because I prefer Linux. That's just my stance right now.
