Intel will release Skylake revision B after several OEMs complained about power management bugs in Skylake for which Intel failed to deliver a microcode fix.
Revision B will fix most of the bugs in the Skylake errata in hardware.
Intel has promised the OEMs to fix the rest in microcode updates for Rev. B.
>>54055312
lel, intel failed hard at skylake. Those microcode """""fixes""""" actually SHUTS DOWN specific features of the CPU to stop the problem being reproduced. Same happened in prime95 bug, you literally pay for the features and improvements that are going to be shut down in the future. Enjoy your micro """"fixes""""

I've got a S4 currently and it's time to upgrade. I've been thinking on going for a phone with a bigger screen since a phone to me is more of a mobile internet/media machine than a device for calling. I was looking at the Note 4 and LG V10. Is there much of a difference? The V10 is only 50€ more and it's much newer and seems to have many small improvements.
Any other options I should think about?
Sup /g/uys, i'm new so please don't be too harsh.
I live in Italy, and I need a smartphone under 200€, with a micro SD card slot. It shouldn't be too big, but I don't really care. I won't use it for work.
Does it make sense to get a new Xperia Z3 right now? I want a cheap-ish phone with pretty good specs, and there are lots of Z3s on ebay for less than 300$.
Should I consider something else?
What are you working on, /g/?

-If you dislike a headphone suggestion, try giving a better suggestion to whomever asked instead of going "hurr, brand x sucks"
-If you see someone getting mad for no appearent reason, heavily shilling/bashing a brand/reviewer etc, just ignore it.
-Feel free to share your headphones/setup and talk from personal experience, but try to couple your subjective opinions with objective data if the discussion asks for it.
-Feel free to suggest headphones that you think should be in a new guide for /hpg/
-Remeber, always ignore the shitposters

Who here unironically uses Gnome?
>>54042582
I used to but then I found XFCE. With a bit of ricing, it looks much better and is more functional than GNOME
I do. It's comfy, beautiful, integrates with my online accounts easily (e.g. just enter my gmail and I get my Google Drie integrated into nautlius) and I can use it with Wayland today.
>>54042644
Do you need to manually configure it to use wayland?
How does it feel knowing that TI won and HP literally discontinued their calculator divsion in 2015?
Why don't you own the best programmable engineering calculator ever made while it's still cheap?
>tfw hp 50g price will skyrocket because of scalpers just like the discontinued hp 16c

Because calculators are absolutely useless in 2016.

>How does it feel knowing that TI won and HP literally discontinued their calculator divsion in 2015?

I do. I don't know if I'd call it the best though, previous HP calculators I feel were better.

Someone please help me like systemd.
I want to like it because everything is starting to use it, I just don't see how to accept it.
I've been trying to educate myself a bit on the issue and controversy, but there's still one thing that I can't get over, and it's the claims that other packages and system components are starting to explicitly depend on systemd.
Now, if this was just an over exaggeration and nothing to really worry about, then why is it that there are so many distros which can't offer me a choice of init system anymore? Linux is all about choice and there's so many alternatives to everything in the repositories of every Linux distro (there's even a bunch of different options for bootloaders and entirely different/experimental filesystems), but suddenly this one thing is almost becoming a non-option anymore. Based on that fact alone it doesn't seem like an over exaggeration to me at all that everything about Linux systems is starting to derive dependency on systemd at one level or another. I don't understand why, and yes, it scares me. Why doesn't it scare you?
PLEASE NOTE: This concern is not about the mere fact of distros dropping support for alternatives, it's about what this fact tells me about how systemd might be coded and makes me wonder why it's gotten to the point where nothing else can play on the same playground as it.
Is this systemd's fault? If it's not their doing then I could probably accept systemd. If it's just the maintainers of _other_ packages that are being lazy and including systemd dependencies because it's easier or something then I could probably swallow systemd and be happy.
Or is there actually something about systemd itself that's making everything have to depend on it? Which Is the possibility I would find more difficult to understand and accept.
>>54059447
systemd was a good idea till pottering decide to usurpe every proccess.he even calls 'su' unneeded and made systemd-su
There are a few forks that dont use systemd,but they ARe shiitly maintaned. Your only real options is gentoo.It uses openrc,which you can use on other distros,but it will be unsupported,and a new upgrade,and fuck your life.
So get used to systemd,or use gentoo.Thats about it
>>54059447
Why would you give a flying fuck about what goes on in the kernel as long as your apps still work?
>>54059843
Its not the kernel.Its the OS,which systemd is becoming

The defensiveness is palpable. the fucking BULLSHIT is so much you CAN'T cut it with a knife.
>Photoshop is an industry standard which means that Gimp can't replace it
>Photoshop is popular which means it's better
>We put a price tag on it which automatically makes it better then Gimp, which is free and way more convenient and efficent
Then they go on and say that Gimp is completely free, which is a good selling point, It's less taxing on your computer so it's not bloated and it's cross platform and can fucking run on any computer.
Then it bullshits that Gimp has a steep learning curve when all you need is right on the fucking first toolbar, it has a single window mode that is easily accessible if you're not an idiot who can google how-tos, because that shit is LITERALLY in the preferences, which most users should be looking at in the first place, which is in the same place as all the other preference settings because it's a standard.
Photoshop, however, is bloated. They have stacked tool bars and way too many fucking settings that a Gimp user can accomplish with the basic tools it shows at default.
The REASON they say that Gimp has a steep learning curve is that these fuckers are basically muscle-memoried to Photoshop, which does so much bullshit that they forget how to work a fucking paint program because it's LITERALLY JUST THAT FUCKING SIMPLE TO USE GIMP.
This article is one of the first things to show up when you type Gimp vs Photoshop or vice versa, by the way.
It makes me so fucking mad to see such bullshit on a front page of anything.
So, free alternative thread.
What are some free alternatives to shitty programs that are only used because they're advertised and marketed and cost way more then they're worth?
The only reason shit like Photoshop has a fucking subscription or a thousand dollar price tag is because they know how to bullshit.
Photoshop is better

have you used anything other then Photoshop or MS paint?

Stop trying to defend that shitty clunky unintuitive pile of wank that is Gimp
Let's compile lists of good and bad reasons to use Linux:
Good Reasons to use Linux:
1. Your machine is too old to support current versions of Windows.
2. Your machine is to shitty to justify buying a Windows license for it.
3. You need Linux specific software.
4. You need Linux for work.
Bad Reasons to use Linux:
1. You're concerned about Microsoft "spying" on you though Windows 10.
2. You're concerned about the NSA spying on you through Windows.
3. You need to hide your child porn from the FBI.
4. You believe proprietary software is inherently evil.
5. You hate Microsoft for things that happened before you were born and want to stick it to them by running Linux on a shitbox in your mom's basement.
>>54055472
Linux protects user privacy more than windows. There is no argument left on this
>>54055502
That's covered under bad reasons 1 and 2.
GNOME has Facebook integration, so idk what you're talking about.
>>54055523
Not by default. Also, you don't have to login to facebook app.
Privacy is a serious reason. Normal /biz/ cucks will never understand this
