Just got a Nexus 6 as my first smartphone. I think it's great but I'm sure things could be made better. What do?
>>52255893
Nice as always. I took you advice and I think it looks better.
>>52256233
Download "Nova Launcher", in the Nova settings remove app labels, the dock, and the notification bar. After that, download a nice looking icon pack (I suggest starting with Whicons). Set that as your default icon pack under Nova's settings or do each app one-by-one by holding it, taping edit, then taping the icon. After you get comfortable with that, download Zooper and a clock widget made for Zooper. Play around with Zooper for a bit and once you understand how it works make your own widgets. After you're comfortable with that, get KLWP and have at it. You will eventually be able to make some really cool stuff.
It probably sounds daunting, but trust me, it's a lot of fun and really not that complicated.

Something weird happened. There's a smooth overlapping transition, but I guess my screen recorder didn't get it for some reason.

Fucking finally. Thank you based OP.
There's one problem though, display-sync probably shouldn't be in the low quality config. My laptop is too slow for interpolation and display-resample. If you can't do opengl-hq, you probably can't do display-sync.
>>52247465
What is your gpu?
My $200 netbook with its shitty amd apu can run interpolation flawlessly.
>>52247465
This. Interpolation and video-sync should be removed from low quality config.

That blog speaks for itself. And as i am lazy as fuck, i quote one guy from there:
>Lestat January 6, 2016 at 1:31 pm # Interesting. The normal reason when someone starts to ask if people actually use something, that usually means a decision making process is started about justifying to axe a feature or not. What that means, should be totally clear without any trace of a possible misunderstanding.
One thing for sure, that way Mozilla would beat Chrome finally in simplictiy if they would really thinking about axing add-ons.
Then they would get all Chrome users and Mozilla would be the winner.
The only problem is that this will never happening, no add-ons, no Chrome users are using Firefox.
I'm kind of surprised it's that high desu

That's twice as much as I'd pay for it. Fuck em.
Waiting for the Vive I guess.
can't wait to be a virtual goy
>>52270459
Vive will probably be similar price, but they won't add a bunch of shit you don't need.
You wont get a shitty xbone controller
You wont get shitty built in headphones
You wont get a pointless little remote
You WILL get the magic wand controller things which you'll have to fork out like $250 later on for the Oculus.

Is Windows officially a botnet now?
Vulkan and Linux gaming can't get here fast enough.
>>52266177
Literally the only reason anyone here uses windows is gaming.
Everything is botnet already. Tech companies have colluded into an oligarchy to make botnet and spying the status quo. 20 years ago nobody would have installed software that constantly informed its manufacturer what you did at all times, but now it's almost exclusively the case. Amazing how much PR and advertising can warp the collective psyche.

Can someone stop the fucking trolling for a second and tell me if I should get one of these?
>>52265149
>Can someone stop the fucking trolling for a second
No
>>52265149
if you want storage buy a HDD they are way cheaper
if you want a system disk buy an SSD
>>52265237
This. HDD for mass storage (most programs, videos, music, pictures, etc). SSD for your OS install (and for games with atrocious load times)
What is the best Mini-ITX case?

the bitfenix prodigy is a pretty good case, pricey though

http://potsandpansbyccg.com/2016/01/04/how-comcast-pays-for-bandwidth/?mc_cid=dcb98d91d4&mc_eid=eb527a594e
Comcast is careful to avoid claiming their caps are necessary to pay for heavier usage because there's simply no technical justification for that claim.
https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/3rnfnm/leak_of_comcast_documents_detailing_the_coming/
While Comcast wants to bill like a utility, it has vehemently opposed being regulated as such. As a result millions of people face steep broadband price hikes for usage via meters that aren't being confirmed accurate by a reliable third party. Imagine an electricity and gasoline industry where pumps and meters weren't regulated, then imagine the resulting inevitable fraud complaints being policed by Comcast's not-so-award winning customer service department.
Comcast leaked documents, its primary engineer and the industry's top lobbyists have even admitted caps have nothing to do with congestion, and aren't an effective tool to manage network load anyway.
The problem is the public that can't tell the difference between a gigabyte and gelatin.
At the end of the day Comcast's usage caps are about one thing: socking uncompetitive markets with higher prices, and protecting legacy TV revenues from Internet video. Every other excuse that's been proffered by ISPs (at least here in the States where bandwidth and transit costs are low) is total and utter nonsense.
On mobile so bear w me.
>live in one of the areas for Comcast "trial".
>Ask to opt out, Rep says you can't, have 30 min argument with 3 people about what the word trial means.
>realize I'm gonna have to pay 30 bucks a month for the same service I have already, fuck
>Comcast gives you 3 overages before they start charging 10 bucks for every 50 gb over
>I use around 1800 gb a month in a house of 5 people
>use all 3 "courtesies" in Oct, Nov, dec.
>today, call to have unlimited because I have literally no other isp option.
>we can't put it on for January we have to wait until Feb.
>what about the overages? Well you can regulate yourself or we'll charge the 10 per 50 gb, or when you get to 300 you can unplug your modem.
>what? So you're forcing me to pay for the same service I already have, and then tell me you can't provide me with the service you're forcing on me?
>did quick math, 10 for 50 gb, 20 for 100,1800 minus 300 is 1500, 15 x 20 is 300.
>"So you want me to pay 300 dollars because Comcast can5 provide a service it's forcing on me.
>yes
>3 different people and 2 hours later I was "escalated to a senior rep who will call you back in 48 to 72 hours".
If they try and give me the run around I'm going to the store in person and cancelling my contract, taking the 110 a month I would be spending on them and getting an unlimited wireless plan on my cell and tethering. I would rather go through all that hassle than get fucked by Shit cast any more.
does anyone know if centurylink does the same thing?
>>52257009
comcast isnt the only fucking cancer in the isp community.
I have fucking charter and it makes me want to burn their shit to the ground.
They oversold all the nodes around me so i get 5mbps download instead of the 60 im supposed to get, but the worst part is the ping is around 500ms to the same fucking town i live in from 4pm to 12am and ofcourse anywhere farther away is worse.
calling them doesnt do shit of course
No caps as far as i can tell though, usually run through 1000gigs or so in a month
GET READY FOR IT
