Does anyone know why microsoft is pushing win10 so hard ?
cause it seems fishy
>>51856371
Cause they want to take over the world.
>>51856371
What kind of stupid question is this.
>>51856371
They want everyone to use Windows 10 because it's very cloud-oriented and cloud services is where they make the most of their money these days. With universal apps becoming a thing, maybe Windows Phone will stand a little more chance with universal apps and continuum.
Holt shit, why do websites do this?
>>51856254
To track you, but that's not even that bad.
>>51856254
Because assholes like you block their main revenue source, meaning they have to shove as much shit in as possible in the hope of some of it getting through. Good job making the internet worse, faggot.
To track you so they can sell all your info to the highest bidder and to plaster their sites with ads and then fill it with clicbait for even more money.

>payphone for years
>cellular phones come out
>wow so cool I can carry a phone everywhere
>a few generations go by
>the memory of payphones being a pain compared to cellphones is gone
>someone makes a payphone

I was thinking of making a buzzword filled insult generator for epic 4chan posts. I want it to be a little more complicated than a simple adlib filler.

Before, when I added .torrent files into my transmissions watch-dir, it used to make them *.torrent.added files. Now it does not do this.
Why? That shit was useful because it didn't accept all the files.
Wat do I do?
>>51856095
Install gentoo.
Kidding aside transmission is meme shit.

Fuck off, nigger.
>buy hard drive that is advertised as 4TB
>it actually only has 3.5TB space

>>51856064
joos.
>>51856064
if the drive requires some shit on it to work, then it should be subtracted from the stated amount
the fcc or some shit should do something

are you using windows? microsoft counts KB/MB/GB/TB the wrong way.
by definition, those are SI-prefixes. kilo for 1000, mega for 1000000 etc.
microsoft uses 1024 (2^10) as a base instead, which is simply wrong. these units exist too, but they're called KiB, MiB, GiB, TiB etc. those are binary prefixes.
What have you got planned for Christmas? How are you celebrating the holiday?

Will spend x-mas with my family in Mexico

>>51855834
So... you will call immigration on my family in Mexico, so they will be deported to Mexico?
What is the best way to browse 4chan on an iPhone? Are there alternatives to the mobile site?
>>51855749
Install Gentoo
Get android and use the clover app.
Apple banned them all because they get to decide what goes on your device, not you.
You're a dumbass and I'm glad that your poor choice in phones is keeping you off of 4chan.
How long until the remaining Pentium 4 PCs get thrown out?
I believe there is still quite a few Pentium 4 Windows XP systems being used daily.
those things will probably outlive humanity itself
Not until some major standard/use-case change makes them useless for basic web surfing or email checking. Of course, they'll naturally thin out as time goes on and people upgrade by choice or by force.
Even early Northwood-era systems, especially the high-end RDRAM-based workstations, are still reasonably useful when you aren't really in to multimedia usage or data hoarding.

It's really power inefficient
Core 2 Duo is so much faster and much more power efficient
FIX THE LAW
As a corporation, Apple, Google, Cisco, etc. are in business to make money for their shareholders.
Voluntarily paying tax they do not legally have to pay is not good business. They are merely exploiting the law to their benefit.
If you do not wish companies to do this, then fix the loophole.
Any company that DOESN'T do this is doing their shareholders a dis-service via either lack of knowledge or lack of financial resources to set the company structure up in this manner.
Companies aren't people. They do not have morals,...

Why would I want them to fix this? I wouldn't have a job if they did.
So our government can spend all that money on stupid shit and still grow further in debt after it spends all that money.
>>51855480
Because apple is spending their money on more useful things than schools, roads, and public services.
The government is extremely wasteful but it's providing services that you want.
Is it the most misunderstood language of our generation?
It combines a lot of extremely powerful features of both functional and object-oriented programming.
>>51855369
/g/ hates what it does not understand.
>>51855369
it's basically C for the web
>lines end with semi-colons
>if statements
>for and while loops
>>51855490
>lines end with semi-colons
Except they don't have to.
And you can write javascript like you write lisp if you feel like it, and then switch back to writing like C when it's convenient, and then also switch to OO.
This is my first time booting into windows in more then a month and I decided to download the latest windows build of MPV.
I never got this warning before. Has anyone else experienced this yet?
They implemented a new feature in Windows 10 which detects shitty software and flags it as suspicious.
Use windows media player instead
