Oh the hate for Vivaldi... And in the meantime it gets more and more features while Firefox is losing more and more.
Bashing Vivaldi is the Firefox fanboy's only argument, otherwise they would have to admit that Mozilla turns the browser more and more in an almost Chrome clone.
How pathetic.
But you know, at least Firefox is Open Source. REALLY great quality criteria if the rest of the browser turns into Google inspired shit.
Their is no good browser nowadays.
Actually it would be more accurate to say the web is shit nowadays and we should switch to something better.
Anyway, you shouldn't be using a proprietary software.

I use what offers me the features i want and where the developers do not see power users as garbage group or minority. So, Vivaldi it is. And
>he bought an e-reader to view PDFs
I consider doing this, what's wrong with it?
>>54321349
The resolution of eink readers is too small to display pdf's without zooming.

Would Samsung win with its superior ability to manufacture custom curved OLED modules for VR headsets?
This is far too soon for anyone to claim superiority. VR is still small and a ton of companies are doing research.
Maybe Apple brings out a VR headsets and normies eat it up like the shit they're used to. Or any other companies invent better ways like retina beaming or whatever is possible. We won't know for a few years.

>Maybe Apple brings out a VR headsets and normies eat it up like the shit they're used to
As much as I hate Apple, I really want this to happen so more normies start to get interested in VR

I don't hate Apple. It's not like they're making bad products. It's just that they might promote bad ideas about technology. But they do tend to innovate. Or at least make interesting, but overlooked technology mainstream. I don't really have anything to live for besides things I can do on my computer, so I think they're doing the right thing by innovating and make companies with less market share produce the niche products I like.
I've been using two Western Digital media players since at least 2010. I originally went with it because it supported the large harddrives I directly connected to it. That's been irrelevant for several years because I stream it all from my computer.
The original model is still trucking in the bedroom but the flakey WDTV Live in the living room one finally gave up the ghost.
Any recommendations? Just looking for something to stream media from network shares or a media server.

You'll find plenty of more reliable settop boxes but not one that supports as many formats and codecs.
I'm using a RaPi 3 running OSMC. It's pretty comfy desu fampi.
>>54321909
Does it support as many formats?
Anyone know if Foxconn will have a hand in the iPhone 7?
Also, what colours do you want? Blue would be good.

Please post more covers.
There is a huge thick buyers guide at my grandfathers house from 1991. Its a good read, printers have decibel ratings on them.

Guys, technology doesn't give me fun anymore.
I got a nice thinkpad, home server(s), desktop computer with LTO tape drive, UMPC, two smartphones, raspberry pis, even a nokia n900. I got lots of resources.
But for the love of God I don't know what to do with all this shit anymore. I'm tired of gayming and trying to make use of home servers. It's all so pointless. Should I sell everything and save the money?
H-help guys, I think I'm getting old and tired of being lonely.

Do they not test this shit for a LTS release?
> installing chrome on linux
The fact that it's "broken" (you can just dpkg) should be a feature
>>54320808
Ironically that was broken as well.
>dpkg -> apt-get -f install

>>54320821
Use gdebi, dpkg doesn't pull dependencies

Is this a good layout for an MS Paint equivalent?
If not, why?
Does it allow for extensions?

Help the krita project instead of starting your own.

We all know that Macs can get malware of sorts.
Given that you'd receive one and want to keep it running on OS X, how would you best keep it secure?
What are the best security apps to get; AV's, firewalls, manual scanners?
Any helpful tips besides using common sense, not running random shit?

Wont save you from all the bugs and vulnerabilities...

Install a decent Linux if you want a secure OS.
common sense 2016
>>54320674
That still won't save you if you go with what came out of the box... even the firewall is by default off on macs.
So why aren't you using a square monitor?
It's the next best thing to a circle.
Now I want a circle monitor... is there any software to render on such a display?

Why is degrading functionality and flexibility so important in modern day technology?

I still think all those mp3toflac.exe websites are the worst
and they all probably use ffmpeg packaged as a binary with botnet features.

Can someone give me a list of video games that are free as in free speech?
>>54320197
tuxracer
supertux
supertuxkart
xorg games (xsok, ace-of-penguins solitaire collection)
stratagus based games
just go to https://packages.gentoo.org/categories and check the game section
Quakeworld, Quake3 and derivatives (if you want stuff like textures etc to be Free too, get Warsow, almost all their assets are released under CC). Also happen to be the best games ever made, so you don't need any other. Win-win
