>>51739887
An Android app that's actually material and doesn't look like somebody from the FSF designed it.
An android app that isn't shit
something better than Clover™
fuck you floens
>>Use gentoo
>>Go to uni for a major in software engineering
>>professor forces shitty C# winforms projects
how to deal with it other than drop out?
You do your assignments instead of bitching.
>>51739496
Just deal with it.
Also,gentoo a shit. Use Ubuntu.
>>51739496

Safari
>>51739279

>not using libcaca
Someone left an iPad mini at my work maybe like 6 months ago. Since no one claimed it even after we put signs up about it my manager decided to just give it to me but it is on activation lock so even after I try to restore it, it asks for the previous owners iCloud credentials.
So what I'm trying to get at is, is there any way to bypass this activation lock? Or is this thing useless now? I'm sure there has to be a way around it.
>>51739052
Go away Tyrone.
Bring it to an Apple Store, E-Lincoln.
>>51739052
Put it in a microwave rated over 750W and under 1000W, turn it on for 1 minute. It's a built in hard reset, we do it all the time to disable locks at the Apple workshop.

Older thread >>51716026 is slowing down so here goes:
Intended for users of all levels, including absolute beginners.
There are three ways to try Linux, you can:
1) Install a Linux OS on a VM (Virtual Machine/VirtualBox) for "safety purposes"
2) Use the Live ISO directly without installing anything, that way, you can get a "full Linux experience".
3) Go balls deep and overwrite everything with Linux (not recommended)
If you are serious about switching to Linux and if you have Windows dual-booted (recommended for pure newbies),
we recommend you use it exclusively for 2 weeks, and avoid Windows dual booting for that period of time, or it's
likely you will start retreating back to windows instead of getting used to GNU/Linux as your new home and working on
making it feel the way you want it.
>Recommended for beginners:
-Ubuntu MATE
-Debian (For Broadcom devices, use an ISO that includes non-free firmware)
-openSUSE
-Linux Mint

Post your phone's battery life along with ROM and custom kernel if you have one. I'm curious.
1 year old OnePlus One
Blisspop ROM
AK Kernel with Real_pac's All Day profile for Synapse.
>bump
also I get about 5-8 hours of screen on-time use depending on how heavy my usage.
2 y/o Nexus 5 (runs like a dream still)
Chroma ROM with moderate UI theming
usually 2 hours of SoT, sometimes 3 if I'm lucky
>>51739360
That's pretty bad honestly. Nexus 5's aren't exactly known for their battery life though.
I just tested IE in windows 10 and it's faster than Chrome, Firefox, or Edge.
Am I the only one or did IE just become better than Chrome?
>Windows 10
You're beyond memes now, friend.
>>51738799
>I just tested IE in windows 10 and it's faster than Chrome, Firefox, or Edge.
YES ITS A MEME
Ie on windows 10 it's faster than Chrome, Firefox, or Edge, and since those 4 are the ONLY web browesrs that exist, IE is the best OS ever and hating it is a meme.
Also remmber if you complain about botnet you are retarded, so having botnet is not a bad thing
It's never been faster for me when I tried using in on win7.
Chrome was the only one I could actually watch YouTube on. Firefox didn't work too well for me either.
I can try it on win10, since my Surface has it, but quite frankly Chroke is working perfectly fast on that as well and I prefer the Chrome interface.
The non-golden ear'ed and "audio scientists" need not apply.
I also hope everyone serious about their system has isolated their components using Stillpoints.

Used them on my Mark Levinson and my MBL Corona transport, and WOW. Faster decay on the drums, less bloom in the mid-range, and more air in the soundstage.
Highly recommended.
what the fuck kind of audiophile are you when you didn't DIY speakers?
>>51738794
DIY is snake oil garbage.
Do you have an anechoic chamber to quality test your work after assembly? State-of-art measurement gear? Was your kit engineered via CAD, to ensure the drivers, crossover, and cabinet "match?"
This made a big difference in my system

Is the Portable Touch Pi project any good?
Basically, a raspi with a 3,5 inch touchscreen in a 3D printed case
>>51738671
prettyugly/10
Don't do that. Buy a rPi but without an aidetic faggot case and please, without touchscreens.
>>51739398
And use it how?
REMEMBER:
For those of you contemplating future careers, school, etc. that Computer Science, Programming, and related fields are not the only choice.
Check out the Networking Systems programs at your local community college.
In 2 years (1 and a half if you go to summer semester) you can get what is essentially a trade, a valuable life skill, an Associates Degree and the ability to transfer to a 4 year college seamlessly in almost all cases (with direct-connect programs).
Yes I am being a bit of an un-paid shill I suppose but really, consider it. Especially for older folks maybe looking for a career change; or high-school kids that don't have the finest grades but love technology, etc.
Here are some example curricula:
http://catalog.valenciacollege.edu/degrees/associateinscience/engineeringtechnology/networkengineeringtechnology/#programrequirementstext
(no I don't go to Valencia, it just is a good layout to show examples of courses)
As you can see there are different paths, some of which literally end in capstone projects centred around collegiate CTF competitions for those interested in hacking/pen-testing.
Obviously some folks on /g/ will talk shit about this idea of course, but that goes without saying.
Also yes of course you can teach yourself a lot of this on your own, but that goes with almost everything. This is for people that are considering school and want a degree or two.
i have CCNA done and shit and am in elec engineering at uni, the hell do i do after ccna? networking seems a lot more fun than el. engi, but wat do
>>51738354
Oh god, please spread this! The number of useless programmers out there who only ever went for CS because they "want to do something with computers" is maddening. As an actually good programmer, the seas of morons have turned getting a job from a phone call and an interview into a multi-month long shitfest.
If you like computers, go into IT. Don't waste your time and money failing at software engineering.
>>51738469
What sort of stuff do you want to do? CCNA type stuff, or do you have other interests?
For example I am interested in penetration testing but of course that is a niche that is hard to break into so my current path is:
CCNA and work as a network admin or something similar while I continue my independent studies and training, and then OSCP (in my opinion one of the only certification worth caring about if you aren't an HR representative. But, we all understand we have to 'play the game' with certs to get our foot in the door most of the time).
Of course there are much more knowledgeable people on this board then me when it comes to answering your question; but I think it's important to know what your goals are so you can go down the right path to get there.
But, Elec. Engineering sure sounds neat to me. Having an Elec. Engineering degree and CCNA will make finding jobs not very difficult I imagine?
Hey /g//uys
Is it worth to buy grounding/ antistatic wrist straps?
I will be building a new pc so...
Do i need one?
>>51738247
Yes, absolutely. You really don't want to try >$400 worth of components because you didn't want to spend an extra five.
>>51738247
I've built millions of computers, never used one, never fried shit.
>>51738317
Even if these were a meme this guys has a valid point. $5 is cheaper than any of your components.
What kind of videos can I upload to youtube, without having any problem with copyright
namely.
a type (or class) of video that can be uploaded to YouTube and the video never have problems with copyright
>>51738205
Anything you record yourself with a camera will be fine, generally, even if it is video of copyrighted video
>>51738221
what happened is that I want to upload videos to youtube
but I will not violate or infringe copyright
>>51738205
just avoid youtube if you want to upload copyrighted material
so many other good video sharing sites out there
Hello /g/.
What is the best smartphone,
and why is it the BlackBerry Passport?
>>51738104
i wish it had a snapchat app.
I don't know actually. I'm trying to decide if it's for me - I've been with android since g1
>>51738104
it runs BB10 and has at least buttons for letters which are quite sufficient for being one of the best devices for communication.
also can it be bb general? who has priv? they say it runs hot often.
I uninstalled Chrome and now Clover won't play gifs, is there any way to get gif functionality back without the botnet?
