What's an all around upgrade to the Xperia Z2? Camera is incredibly important to me and I really liked the look of the phone. My headphone jack is all fucked up, and only works if there's ZERO pressure on the cable.
>tfw my week old phone has already a few scratches
Gorilla glass my ass.
>>52527576
I have a Z5 Compact and I love it. Camera is pretty good, great stabalizing even on 4K. 4K recording isn't limited to 5 min like on Samsungs stuff, but just limited by whenever the phone overheats, which can take up to 40 minutes.
Photo's do have a strange blurring/chromatic abberation thing going on close to the edges, but its hardly noticable if you ask me.
Great phone, really snappy too. Battery lasts 2 days for me.
Why isn't music sold on sd cards instead of CDs? Movies and games too? Disks should just be obsolete by now.

What exactly do you mean?
It costs less to make CDs? It wouldn't matter if you stop making them. Then just have sd card players. It'd be pretty schway walking around with a pocket full of sd cards.

Now that Windows 10 has proven a failure, do you think we'll begin to see significant migration to GNU/Linucks?
>bait
>>52527154
This is the direct result of absence of direction on Microsoft's part.

>marketed and rolled out Win8 w/o any incentive for Win7 users to upgrade, just the opposite

They're full-on

post source of your pic op.
So, I'm trying out Linux Mint on VirtualBox, and I selected the clearlooks theme. But when I opened the driver manager, I got this really ugly windows95-esque theme. How do I change it?
>>52527029
>as superuser
Well, your theme settings are not systemwide but bound to the user.
Running an application as a different user (in your case as root) makes it use the theme settings of that particular user.
It's a non issue anon, you shouldn't be running applications as root.
>>52527049
Oh, sorry, I didn't realize that. Thanks, mate.

>How do I change it?
You don't. It changes you...

>Brendan Eich is making a comeback.
>He's the creator of JavaScript and one of the founders of Mozilla, the organisation behind the Firefox browser, so he knows a thing or two about the web.
>But in 2014, after being appointed CEO of the Mozilla Corporation, he found himself at the middle of a firestorm. Eich had donated to Proposition 8, a failed Californian ballot initiative that aimed to define marriage as between one man and one woman. When news of the donation became public, he was highly criticised, and ultimately resigned from the role.
Eich is now launching a new startup, called Brave, that aims to "fix" a problem with the modern internet — adverts.
>Publishers will get around 55% of revenues. 15% will go to Brave. 15% will go to the partner that supplies the ads. And, interestingly, 10-15% goes directly to the user.

Hi /g/
A friend of mine has shown me Tor Browser, and deepweb as a whole. All good and shit, and lot of info and literature on websites like SIN are what I'd really find useful, but I have one roadblock on the way to using Tor Browser - it's too much of a Firefox. I've been using Chrome all my life - now, I'm not saying it's any better, but the interface is what I'm seriousy gotten used to, and Firefox-based Tor is just not comfortable enough.
Is there a way to make Tor Browser have Chrome-like GUI?
First off, kill yourself. Fucking normies discovering Tor from Facebook edgelords.
Second, make sure you really kill yourself.
Third, fucking normie, kill yourself.

>Chrome is about to load web pages a lot faster than you've experienced up until now. Thanks to a new compression algorithm called Brotli, which Googleintroducedlast September, Chrome will be able to compress data up to 26 percent more than its existing compression engine, Zopfli, which is an impressive jump

What were the weed-out courses (those responsible for many dropping out) at your uni?
Any 'Intro to X' class. Even in non-science classes this is common. I was in some easy as fuck politics 101 sort of class last semester, and by the point of no return for dropping it we had half the class size.
I'm now in a politics 202 or whatever class, half as many people as that. And yet so many of them thought they were really into politics...

So AMD has called out intel for benchmark rigging.
grab some popcorn and watch autists fight!

It really doesn't matter what bait MAD uses to shill with, Intel will always be #1.
>>52526329
not 100% true.
an FX-8350 out performs a Skylake i5 in many situations, and the 8350 is what $150 for a high binned refresh version.
AMDs chips are good just made for non existant software.
Bet you Intel's test lab looks better than that.

Plain embarrassing
I'm attempting to blanket my local town with WiFi to create a large network for two purposes. First, it would provided throttled internet access to the public (Who would be isolated from other users on the network), and second, each AP would also include a separate, hidden network where users could connect semi-anonymously to share files and communicate. Not quite sure how to handle the second one yet, but it's a work in progress.
I'm a little new to actually providing end user wireless access over a large area, so I'm not sure what I should look into. I've had good luck with airfiber for point to point applications, but I'm a little leery of how well some of their other stuff may preform. Has anyone used the rocketstation AC with a sector antenna for end user wireless over a large area? I don't doubt it can cover a large area like it says, but there will be a lot of buildings, trees, and other assorted clutter that will make it difficult to get a strong enough signal far enough. Also, I'm limited to towers no higher than 120 ft, which is roughly 60 feet higher than the tallest building in town. I've got a budget of about $60-80k (Might be able to push the limit, but it'll mean the project will take longer to raise the money), and need to cover about 6 square miles, with 12 preferred. Does /g/ have any suggestions on other devices to look into that either preform better or cost less? Or perhaps any links to tests on the strength of these units in practice?
>my local town
Tautology much?
Check out the hamwan project. They have a lot of detailed data public.
How did you get funded?
>>52526251
I'm here to talk technology, not English semantics. Nobody ever accused me of having a great grasp of language.
Also, if this goes well, I'm planning on expanding this out to the rest of the county's towns. Sadly, I don't really think this is a money-making project, however.
