Holy crap why is Yurotrash internet so bad?
The entire continental US along with Alaska and Hawaii BTFO most EU countries on average which have much smaller land mass and populations.
Now when you measure up US states with similar populations/land mass, EU gets BTFO yet again :^)
US internet speeds have been improving rapidly of late.
They've nearly tripled in the last couple years alone.

B-But retards like Logan and Wendell claim we're all stuck on 2mbit DSL. Those bad ISP's never upgrade their infrastructure :^)
>>53699363
ISPs rarely do upgrade their infrastructure. Most of the average improvement we're seeing lately comes from Google Fiber and Google's campaign to convince cities to set up their own local ISPs.
I need to brainwash myself in order to learn Java for android development. How do I convince myself that it is a good language? Key points why I don't like it:
- Memory whore.
- Syntax retardation.
- Verbose as fuck (hello world in more than three lines is already too much).
Please /g/, make me fall for the meme. Make me a code monkey like the asians.

Almost impossible to like it unless you're indian
My personal moneywhore path was webdev and it's working out alright. A lot of backend dev requires regular programming over markup language devving
>>53699152
- really simple
- has complete library support for anything you could ask for
- it's lightning fast
- complete coverage of any issues by the online community means that you'll never have a problem that isn't on stackoverflow
- arguably the best development toolset
The problem with Java is that it's too comfy. Once you get into it, it hard to get out.

Post recent purchases that you've been delighted with.
Has a poop-ish resolution but completely worth the buy, provided you don't lose the charger.
My 2012 Nexus 7 died a couple of weeks ago. Or, rather, I woke up one day and the screen was cracked for no apparent reason. Bought an LG G Pad 7 (v400) as a replacement. £50, sold as used, was just open box and not used at all. I love when that happens, still had the in-transit screen protector on and everything.
Decent little thing. All I really want in an Android tablet. Mainly use it for reading (Google Play Books) and v light browsing. Also Pokemon Shuffle. Cyanogenmod support is cool, got Marshmallow on it with CM13 which is faster than the stock ROM and allows for adoptable SD storage, which it needs given that it only has 8GB of internal storage. TWRP for this thing is a bit dodgy though. I'm thinking of forgoing adoptable storage and switching back to the stock ROM.
Worst part about it is only 1GB RAM. Constantly killing apps in the background so trying to multitask is not fun. Fine for £50 and light use though. Good battery life too, about 8 hours SOT.

>LG G Pad 7
This thing was buzzing when it came out, rightly so.
Nexus 7 is a worthy successor. 3 years old and still the best android tab in it's size.
If I wanted something bigger I guess I'd get a win tab since I just read news/books, watch yt occasionally and text edit on Android.

Hey /g/, I just got an old black iPhone 5 running 9.2.1. Can I jailbreak it? Is there anything cool I can do with it?
It's 16GB btw
>>53698942
It's not like I want to make it my daily carrier, I still love using my Galaxy S4. Surely I can do some stuff through, I'd rather not just up and sell it.
>>53698379
The most recent jailbreak is for 9.0.2 and below. No official news has been released detailing plans for a 9.1 or up jb yet

This tech has existed for a while now.
>>53698285
Thats pretty cool but how does it work?
Is it burning the rust away? Why is there no smoke?
Whats its effective range?
Could you, for example, burn a persons skin from 5 foot away? how about 10? 20?
>>53698560
If I understand correctly, it works especially well for cleaning reflective surfaces because the top layer of material to be removed (rust, paint, grime) is significantly more absorbent of the laser radiation than the underlying surface. This causes the material to heat up and vaporize, and the resulting dust gets sucked up into a vacuum on the tip of the cleaner. The handheld units can be as powerful as 1000W, depending on the application.
I have been thinking about doing this.
Would it be a cool project?
Also, general modding thread!

Shameless BUMP

Yes, I know that it has been done. I just wanna do it to fuck around, and since housings are fairly inexpensive, costing only a few bucks.

What is a free email service I can use for my family that's not PRISM scum?
Don't care, just long as it's endorsed by many (bonus points if overseas).
Just host your own or use gmail and use PGP.

You can't just add meme to something to make it look stupid because you don't like it.

Shut up, meme.

Any notebook recommendations?

Is the stream 11 any good?
Get a used business laptop. You'd get an i5 instead of a bottom of the barrel Celeron.
