Icom discontinued their iconic IC-R20 wideband handheld receiver with nothing in the pipeline to replace it. This receiver has been a mainstay of hams, radio enthusiasts, and even government agencies across the world since its introduction.
It was designed with low power consumption as a goal, and met this goal admirably. The receiver could be described as adequate, but nothing special. It didn't do any trunking, so if listening to the cops and fire department is your thing you're out of luck. The UI was byzantine at best, like all Japanese radios it was crippled because they let the engineers design the interface. The front end is as wide open as a barn door, but it does include a CW filter and another filter just mysteriously called 'filter' (it's for 5-7 KHz voice) so it's not the worst thing.
Consequently the receiver is easily overloaded even with the 'filters' activated (AF only I suspect?) and you have to always ride the manual RF gain control.
Despite all this, nobody else makes a radio receiver that's quite in this class. It was made with incredible engineering talent, included a host of features, and when properly set up for a given signal is usually very pleasant to listen to.
Is this it for the Japs? Have they given up? Is there no reason to make a dedicated hardware handheld wonder-receiver when everybody can plug a DV stick into their laptop? Whatever the reason is, I feel that we're witnessing the passing of an era.
Icom and Yaesu have been having a really hard time this past decade or so against Elecraft, who are busy stumping the Japs and Making Ham Radio Great Again.

>If the openSUSE board kicked you out and created a rule that forbade you from ever running openSUSE again... what system would you use?
>Wow, that's a good question. I'm not sure I'd make my own, there are enough distributions out there. Forking openSUSE would be tempting just so I could keep on using it, but that would be selfish. I think Arch, but I'd implement my own openQA instance between their testing repos and stable and run a custom tested derivative..something in between because I think I'd find their stable repository too slow after running on Tumbleweed for so long”
>You do realize that, by law, every Arch user must now post that "openSUSE Chairman would consider using Arch" to reddit no less than three times.
>At least it would give them something else to talk about than "Hey did you know, I use Arch Linux?" ;)

I just bought pic related. No OS included. I'm planning to dualboot Windows 7 and Linux. What distro would you guys recommend? No a serious ricer but can read at a high school level.
Can that thing even read emails.

No idea brah but it was 100 jewbux and at least i know i'm not getting adware
I took my water damaged iPhone into the T-mobile store claiming it "just stopped turning on after an update" The phone has positive water damage indicators on the inside and is obviously damaged.
They actually submitted the warranty request. My question is, if I take the new phone and mail the damaged one back, will it eventually catch up with me? Or can I keep denying it like Nixon?
>getting an iPhone in the first place
They will bill you.
Nice try.

Guess I'll pay the $300+ for a new one and get the applecare+
Why aren't you using the best browser, /g/?
>Better user interface than Chrome/Chromium: no downloads bar, best new-tab page, full integration with Windows, uses native notifications.
>Supports Chrome/Chromium extensions, plus new, exclusive ones, like sidebar extensions.
>Opera Turbo for even faster browsing/simple vpn. You can browse 4chan in your school/work.
>Active, transparent development, faster and more communicative than any other browser development team.
>Opera for mobiles is god tier too, you can sync your bookmarks and tabs easily.
And now Opera Beta has native ad-blocking, which is faster than uBlock Origin.
What about noscript/javascript filtering?

My USB, which I had a functioning iso of Kali Linux on, got corrupted after removing the USB out before ejecting.
I'm not able to access anything on the USB nor reformat it. The USB is being recognized as existing on Windows, Mac, and Linux but I can't figure out how to reformat it. I tried all I can so far.
It's showing up as XXXXXXXXXX U181CONTROLLER USB Device and that Russian looking symbol.
Any ideas to help me with this? I'm not concerned about keeping the data on it, I want to be able to reformat the USB so I can use the USB. If you can help me solve this problem I will post something invaluable that most people don't know about, it's related to the open source movement.
OP here. The USB doesn't mount. But..
>The USB is being recognized as existing on Windows, Mac, and Linux but I can't figure out how to reformat it. I tried all I can so far.
And the USB blinks and that's all it deos.

What's /g/'s opinion on old communication technology and the place it has in the modern world?
Is there space for pure text in the current multi-media environment of the web?
Not really. Information was rare then... no information is rare anymore.
I want to go back
>>53866267
I'd say information is rarer now in comparison to non-information.
>>53866309

the fuck is "non-information"

What does "unlimited lte" really mean /g/?
Sprint and t-mobile both offer unlimited lte plans but does it really mean "unlimited"?
Is there a point where they can shut you down or throttle you hard to 2G speeds?
If so what is that point, 20GB, 50GB, 100GB, 500GB, 2TB?
I ask this because I almost reached 200GB of data usage on my metropcs phone last month. I'm afraid that I'll suddenly just lose my service or something.
>>53866021
Wind (Canada) throttles data speeds after 2GB
>>53866021 >>53866047
This applies to all "unlimited LTE data" plan. The carrier will set a "high-speed" cap (eg. 20GB). After you reached the cap, the carrier will throttle your data to 2G/GPRS speed.
>>53866089
They have to explicitly state that in their marketing. I just got a refund check from Straight talk because they did this shit without telling anyone.

Before you get in any whatcuck/what.cd faggotry for other trackers remember you can get in PTP using CG and BiB and BTN doesn't recruit atm. & you really don't need 90% what.cd if you have rutracker.
Not sure what private trackers are all about?
