How is it performing so far?

hi /g/
my s7 edge arrive in 10days, this is my 1st android phone.
What is the first 5 things what i need to do with it to make it most efficient? (setup, apps, etc...)
Install Gentoo.
Install a different launcher, a different SMS app, video and music app, etc.
>>53255450
return it and buy an iphone
What is the /g/ approved browser?
On the one hand Chromium is quite fast and comfy... But on the otherhand Firecuck is a lot more customizable and flexible.
Which should I use? In the wiki it says that Chromium is not free and spies on you, is that true? Is Firefox any different really?

I'm in the market for a high gain Wi-Fi antenna, and I was thinking about this one here:

Can these things really pick up a signal from 35 miles away? What kind of reception can I expect with one of these and how can I get the most out of it?
>Can these things really pick up a signal from 35 miles away?
Reliable link at that distance depends on many things OP. Transmitter power, receiver sensitivity, cable loss, path loss (antenna height above surface, obstacles, etc), modulation, data rate, error correction, frequency, interference.

I figured 35 miles is pushing it if you're looking for a reliable connection. I live in an apartment complex a few miles from the downtown "night life" area of my city. It's full of shops, restaurants, clubs, and things like that, which offer free Wi-Fi to customers. Would it be able to hold a reliable connection if the signal from one of those places is about two or three miles from my apartment?

Yeah, whether it's TCP/IP or UDP

>>53254602
thanks for the tip :)
So my retina macbook's screen randomly shit the bed and Apple refuses to replace it under warranty because they consider it accidental damage.
The only accident was steve jobs never having been aborted. You can breath on this screen and it cracks.
$760 out of store repair, or $460 in store repair.
or $164 dollars aliexpress + tools 29 dollars ifixit.

Would cost less to get a new Toshiba
>>53254141
never had that problem with mine. Apple is fairly evil with their return policy, but it seems everybody here in the valley uses them so you just have to take the dick and buy a new one.
I'm too poor to buy Apple products, but I bought a MacBook on credit and then I dropped it and how I'm butthurt: the thread.
Android user here (M7)
Going to buy the iPhone SE as soon as it comes out.
Convince me otherwise, is there a better small smartphone (upcoming or current).
>>53254107
>is there a better small smartphone (upcoming or current)
There isn't. Just get the iPhone. You won't regret it.
Everyone here who argues otherwise is either poor or autistic.
Z3C owner and lifelong Linux user here. Can't wait to get off of Android. It's atrocious.
>>53254213
Why?
*poorstyle* *autiststatus*
Getting the oneplus X.
Not as small but still acceptable, good build quality and half the price of your JewPhone
how does /g/ feel about these?
I don't
I think the only thing gayer than them is your dad.
Huge rip-off.
What distro should I install on it?
Install gentoo
>>53253502
>512 mb of ram
I vote Damn Small Linux or Puppy
>>53253516
I actually upgraded it to 3gb ram with spare parts.
What's the most beautiful Linux DE in your opinion, /g/?
>>53252839
Bump.
No one? Thought this would would be a popular subject in here.
>>53252950
too busy posting tech help and anime threads.
also, welcome to /g/, where mods are more likely to ban you for an off topic joke than if you were to post cp
KDE plasma 5
do you use antivirus software?
>>53252478
No, haven't in a few years now.
No.
No.
So i can't get this to work, Is there something else I should use? total newb btw
Get Tor Browser.
Do you have autism? You download it and it's automatically set up for you.
Depending on what you are doing with it. To view onion pages get the tor package with Firefox this will have Vivaldi which you start and the Firefox is already configured to use it as gateway
