OK so when ask a person why you should switch to Android they basically come up with a bunch of customization nonsense. Fair enough. But then they forget to mention all the completely terrible shit. E.g
No security options for apps
Shitty camera for certain apps
No software updates
General laggy performance after a few years
Then they tell you how to fix it. Oh you could've just done X and installed X and sacrificed the blood of your first born, no big deal. Then you think "shit why didn't I just get an iPhone"
But that's not the point. I just want to know if Linux is a 24/7 maintanace job like Android.
Android is a Linux you fucking dumb cunt

You should properly maintain every system you own, regardless of the operating system.

We all know that Apple Just Werks. We also all know that you're severely locked down to the content on the device itself. You're limited to iTunes for most of your media transfer and limited to your App Store for any downloads you want. You can't see what kind of code your device is running and you can't modify or change anything to fit your specific needs.
Which is an okay business model by today's standpoint because the majority of the population are normie who play games, text and browse social media only. Mainly because they lack the knowledge of what their phones are capable of or just don't need those features.
Apart from Apple using brand loyalty to make an army of sheeple and charging outrageous prices for devices that cost pennies and are outdated as fuck in terms of power, they're good products for what they're marketed for.
If you put apple design and "quality control" onto an android phone with flagship specs it will objectively perform better for longer and remain supported far longer.
>CM13 Random reboots edition
What's your excuse for not using CM13 on Christmas day?
>>52046679
Because I'm afraid of unlocking my boot loader since everywhere I go, they say that all my data will be lost. Backups or not, I don't want to deal with that.

Is there a hope for FX series?
Jewtel faggots btfo.
Not now. The name will likely be scrapped when AMD comes out with something better, as the name means shit to many people. It's basically on life support until Zen comes out, whenever that will be.
>>52046412
First for Phenom III
I got an FX-6300 for $89.99. Doesn't seem so bad.
Should i buy a second monitor for programming or a new phone?
>tfw money

>>52045984

>>52046004

>>Found Channel9
>>Would like good book to accompany my studying
Any good books out there for C#, possibly up to date. I swear everything I found is 2-10 years old. As a noob don't know whether age is relevant or not when it comes to C# programming. Anyone read this book before? Any good?
2 years old is okay.
>>52045826
C# 6.0 in a Nutshell: The Definitive Reference
C# 6.0 and the .NET 4.6 Framework
C# 6.0 Pocket Reference
All new (<month old), easily pirateable
If you want free one that teaches both programming and c# use:
http://www.introprogramming.info/english-intro-csharp-book/
It's pretty good book to learn little of both world. But it's best strength is it's greatest weakness, it doesn't teach GUI programming for example
Your pic in OP post is pure bullshit, don't use it. It's literally written for retards and you'll be pissed off because he spends 10 pages for something so trivial

I'm trying to torrent FL Studio but my computer (which runs on Windows 10) keeps spitting it.
Wat Do?
>>52045409
The included virus probably wasn't designed to run on win10.
>Wat Do?
Buy a legit copy
>>52045409
buy the software
or
install gentoo
>my computer keeps spitting it
yeah, please give us your colloquial bumpkin explanations of what's going wrong. that'll help.
Is it wise to use HTTPS Everywhere or is it a dumb meme?
>>52045066
>is encryption just a meme?
ffs, this place is getting worse.
How can something even force HTTPS anyway?
Like, if you send secure information from your side, wouldn't the websites server need to be set up to handle it?
>I know shit about networking
>>52045094
It doesn't 'force' https it just keeps a ruleset of which sites have https built in and if it notices you're on one it redirects you to the https version
How do you people even live with Windows?
There is literally no config files, its all in this big mess called "the registry"
Apparently windows users actually have to activate their os
The only package managers are apparently slow
I had a hearty kek when I learned this
God BSD has never felt better
>windows hate thread
>There is literally no config files, its all in this big mess called "the registry"
Wrong. MS guidelines are that you use the registry if your program has 4k or less of configuration data, else you use your own config files..
Because I don't want to open a terminal to move files.
>>52045001
>binary config files
I'm glad I've found true enlightenment
What is the best computer build with a price limit of $1000?
I currently have an outdated Alienware and I really don't want another one, yet I see so many mixed opinions on custom builds I can't come to a solution.
