No, but I don't care about VR.

I never owned a apple product I always found them overpriced and overrated but this seems like a good deal and I am tempted to buy it
What /g/ things about the SE?
>>53658294
It really is a pretty good deal for an Apple product. If you can deal with the limitations and whatever /g/ keeps whining about, then go for it. Own an iPhone 5 since release myself, love the design and everything still works flawlessly. Looks like it will do it for another few years, which is pretty great.
>>53658294
$399 for a 4 inch 16 GB storage phone with 2 GB of RAM in 2016 is still a ripoff, no matter what OS the phone is running.
If they weren't greedy and got you at least 32 GB, then it would maybe be an okay deal. You are paying for the 4 inches screen and the Apple tax essentially on something that should cost $299 with all of the above.
>>53658330
>if you can deal with whatever /g/ keeps whining about
/g/ will whine about anything apple would do. there are people here still making threads about steve jobs almost 5 years after the fucker died. the people here might be more obsessed with apple than any stockholder.

CHINESE SHIT GENERAL
CHINK CHONG CHING
HOW IS THIS PICTURE RELATED TO CHINK SHIT? delete this
Waiting for my Nitecore to come, not chinese but I paid it way less than Amazon.
>>53658222
Never liked the nitecores. Too little current spread across 4 batteries. I'm using a liitokala. 1A per battery.
Plus it does the discharge capacity test.
Pretty good
Decided to escape the botnet, which fork of Firefox do I get now? List reasons why x is better than y. So far I only used Nightly, as I used Chrome Canary before.
Also, how do I into ricing? about:customizing doesn't even exist in Nightly and the built-in customizing is shit and you can only move elements around, and not even all the elements.
Is there any theme I can just download to make it look like Chrome's Material design?

Don't use developer versions for production environments. Unless you're activity developing for the applications, it has no use on your system and is likely to cause more crashes.
GNU IceCat is probably the most libre, anti-telemetry fork of Firefox.
>>53658112
use firefox fag.
use a good user.js file like the one found here:
http://12bytes.org/articles/tech/firefoxgecko-configuration-guide-for-privacy-and-performance-buffs
Why don't they provide MD5, SHA-1 or SHA-2 hash for Tor?
>>53658014
literal botnet
>>53658081
Well, I just want the hashes to check the file. Everyone has a hash generator on their PC (even 7zip provides this functionality) but who the fuck has that crap 'GnuPG ' installed to check their signature nonsense?
>>53658081
Also I don't care if botnet or not, I just used it to spam anti-mudslime propaganda in the comments section of a site :^)
Me and a couple of my friends want to start making games, how ever some of us (including myself) are pretty inexperienced. Any tips people can give us to help us get started?

What IDE are you thinking to use?
>>53658005
I was thinking Unreal because its free and i have no money
Which Antivirus or Antimalware is the best /g/ ?
By the best, I mean that does it work, doesnt make my PC a potato and is not botnet.
>>53657832
Obviously not windows defender.
Go with malwarebytes - but don't keep it open everyday, just open it once / week for a full scan.
And use common sense other than that.
>>53657861
>thinking malwarebytes is a proper antivirus
>>53657832
This website compares most Antivirus software:
https://www.av-test.org/en/antivirus/home-windows/
Click on whatever Windows you have like Win10/8/7,then you will see an alphabetical list of Antivirus software. The list can be sorted by protection, performance or usability.
Click on whatever Antivirus you feel is good to get details.
Just installed fresh Win 7 . Everything works fine, should I update it with Windows Update, or did I fall for the botnet meme?
It's rough, because eventually you're going to need an up to date system if you want at the very least some security. But plenty of the newest updates include telemetry and that stupid popup that tells you to update to windows 10 or else you will be a failure at life.
>>53657740
I just updated my win7 until a week before they started the skynet updates
>>53657761
>you're going to need an up to date system if you want at the very least some security.
No you don't. You need a firewall and that's it.
Why is it so difficult to avoid the botnet? It's like the whole Internet is a botnet.
>Do anything
>info gets sent somewhere, somehow
why do you give a fuck
serious question
I don't know, at this point you may as well accept it and live comfy.
>>53657655
I care about what is done with the content I create. I care about my privacy, because not everything needs to be public even if it seems harmless. I don't want to get targeted with ads, have all my electrical communications surveilled at all times. Sometime I just want to have a one to one conversation with someone, without all the marketing engines writing everything up.
EDC Thread!
Rate my trash
Also inb4 people carrying half their Battlestation around.
Taken with my Z5.
either like this or with the pentax I took it with minus extra film
>>53657372
You guys do know that there's technology to duplicate a key from just a photo right?
Steve Jobs as I understand it was a paranoid mother fucker who would regularly buy new cars and NOT get them registered. When the trial period for his place holder tag expired he would just buy a new car. This was to avoid getting tracked buy the government, which basically makes him a very wealthy /g/entooman. Now I don't see the point in OSX when Linux is obviously the superior option because it's open source, but when it comes to closed source, what phones are better and being all around secure?
Before this scandal with Tim Cook fighting the NSA, I would have assumed it was the Blackberry since it has virtually no features except a very basic browser and texting/calling, and fewer features obviously means fewer exploits. What does /g/ have to say on the matter.
> Linux is obviously the superior option because it's open source
Linux is a piece of shit.
Package managers are a mess, you either get buggy bleeding edge software or outdated stuff.
There's no good looking, polished, feature-rich desktop environment, they all suck in some way.
Doesn't work well with high resolution.
No good trackpad integration.
List could go on.
>>53657320
Too bad for you that Linux dominates the world when it comes to operating systems.
>>53657283
no one cares faggot
Which CPU cooler should I get? Hyper 103 or T4? Pic not related.
Coolermaster 212 evo
anything else is not accpeted here
>>53657098
Too poor
Got a t4 myself (cooling a 1231v3) it's performs well and is silent even under load.
How well to Ethernet over Power-line adapters work? I think that I'm having radio interference with my wifi adapter and I'm looking for solutions. Would I just end up with the same issue?
>>53656993
They are great. I use the ones in the pic. But plug them directly into the Wall
Pretty good, I can use steam streaming & plex while on the treadmill in my garage ~60ft from the house.
Do you know if they get any radio interference?
If you take a look to the screenshot:
That "background page:Vivaldi - App: Vivaldi" process is a clear indication that Vivaldi is only Chromium with a bundled add-on to create their "feature rich UI" - Kill that process and the browser is still around, but the UI is gone.
So they take Open Source Chromium and bundle it with a third class add-on for which you need only one dev most of the time to create it, and they have almost 20 people working on it?
If you use Vivaldi, better use Firefox with CTR - Fully Open Source, no fake browser.
>>53656578
vivaldi is a meme
we need to bring this to the surface. they cant get away with this
Sure it's just Chromium with a really nice UI but I fail to see how that's a bad thing.
>GNOME 3.2 released
>still shitty file picker
>>53656433
install windows 10
Someday anon, someday.
>>53656437
it's not like Microsoft is giving away free windows licenses so I'm stuck with gnu/linux
