I wanted an energy efficient alternative to shitpost from since my gaming pc guzzled more power than op does cum and it was only $15 roodollars
Toshiba satellite radius. Hinge and magnet problems. Don't even get me started with the driver problems. I almost killed myself

Dell Inspiron 15
The right hinge broke within 6 months. The same thing happened with a previous Inspiron model I have, but it lasted a lot longer. Dell's consumer line is a fucking joke.

>Google will be able patch at best Nexus phones in a timely manner (Literally less than 1% of android phones)
>Other high end recent android phones will get patched in at best 3 months after Nexuses
>95% Of Android phones, over a billion devices never get patched because manufacturers don't care
How big a shitstorm would this be is? Is this situation inevitable?

>Actual problems with android upgrade paths
>Meme
Its a fact that the vast majority of android phones never receive an OS upgrade beyond what they're shipped.
How do we make technology great again?

ban stupid thread like this ones
By getting rid of ARM processors (which might happen soon too). This meme CPU architecture has ruined everything and must be destroyed for the greater good.

Haven't seen one of these in a while.
Do you think it's because it takes 500 lines of OpenGL just to render a triangle?
>Resources
Online OpenGL tutorials are mostly shit, the stark differences between 2.1 fixed pipeline and 3.0 core profile OpenGL could fill several books, you should read one instead.
Old OpenGL books are cheap as fuck, and chances are, you're not going to be writing code for the newest graphics cards anyway, so just pick whatever edition that covers the GL version of your graphics card.
For example,...

It takes 500 lines to render a triangle in Win32 too.

There's the Vulkan programming book soon, but I dunno if anyone is planning on learning Vulkan first for graphics programming.

i'm reading through the superbible, it's pretty good, but you gotta ignore all the freeglut parts, because the author just looooves freeglut, and it doesn't teach you anything about initializing an opengl instance on your platform.
Google's never going to do anything about this, will they?
What exactly are they supposed to do about it?
Nope, android's architecture is a complete mess, Ubuntu Touch and Sailfish fixed it long ago in the same devices supported by android
It's absolutely pathetic how the whole OS is targeted for a single version and to a single device while Ubuntu and Sailfish share the same RootFS for all devices, they can update at will
>>53421516
I've always wondered, what's there to stop people from manually flashing the newest stock android onto their old-ass device? Like, assuming the specs are high enough, could I theoretically flash N onto my Galaxy S 2?

So, when will this become affordable?
Not until companies have some incentive to advance e-ink technology. Right now all there is for e-ink at that size is vaporware. If you're desperate, you can grab a used on on Ebay for ~$500.
>>53420591
that person needs to transition into using letters instead of elaborate pictures
>>53420679
But the Sony one isn't vaporware. It exists, and it's in mass production. Can you recommend a cheap, good quality one until I can afford it?

You don't need intelligence, you just have to be able to follow instructions. There are tons of videos on youtube that'll show it step by step anon.

I'll do it. Mail me the parts and your credit card. I only accept credit card payments.
