>Robolinux
One of the project's more interesting features is the availability of a pre-configured virtual machine support pack with Windows XP or Windows 7 - a VirtualBox setup which allows the user to install and run the Windows operating system seamlessly alongside Robolinux. This is an optional add-on that must be purchased from the project's online store.
Really ? Like...really ?

Doesn't even have finger print scanner.
lel
Here's your response. First of all, it's not even secure. It's running Android. Please try harder next time. 4/10 for effort I guess.

You are an absolute fucking idiot if you thing a finger print scanner is secure
Looks better than the iPhone or any samsung Galaxy

Screen protectors are good though
Enjoy your fingerprint smudges and streaks i guess

you won't truly experience your phone until you remove the screen protector
got a used moto /g/ from 2013 that always has had its protector and bumper on
thanks for the brand new phone I guess
Nothing wrong with a wireless mouse. Cords on most wired mice are too rigid and restricting in most cases.
Wireless keyboards in on the other hand are fucking useless except if it's one of those with a built in touchpad for HTPCs
...and it looks beautiful.

Total noob here. How can i get a C++ compiller?
I can't really understand the sticky.
>>51282324
If you don't understand the sticky please just give up.
You need to be fairly clever to do programming. While most of /g/ would disagree with this, I just believe they aren't giving themselves enough credit.
tl;dr gtfo retard
>>51282324
If you can't understand the sticky then you have no use for a compiler of any type.
You dont have to be clever to be a codemonkey. All you have to practice and it is okay. But I dont like stupid programmers anyway so fuck you. Btw You wont be a programmer.
I want to keep using vim but it's so fucking slow and laggy all the time.
Time to learn Emacs I guess.
>>51282308
Spacemacs is cool
>>51282308
is this a bait?
I'm not sure because i'm using emacs so i don't know if vim really is laggy, but i guess it isn't because roughly same number of people use emacs and vim
why did i lose so much time on a thread i think is a bait, i don't know, fuck
What would you do to make firefox a better browser?
remove SJW
>>51282264
Rehire this man.
probably make the beta the default version, remove copyrighted artwork and add some more privacy tweaks. for me it's perfect otherwise.
i'd basically make it iceweasel beta or aurora.
Can anyone reccommend me a good and cheap one?

Are GPU's a massive scam or are developers just lazy?
Hardly any games have surpassed the original Crysis in terms of graphics, yet the technical requirements keep going up exponentially
>>51282054
>Are GPU's a massive scam
No, they are more powerful and can crunch and compute numbers much more effectively, thanks to optimised architecture and smaller circuits.
>Are developers just lazy?
Yes, they are.
Higher performance hardware means that they can get away with shit-tier optimization and bloats in code.
>>51282054
>OP has never played Metro Last Light
also
>>/v/
They are lazy because they have no reason not to be but the Crysis comparison is retarded.
Hey friends. Normally I just lurk, but today I have an important decision to make. I have to sign up for classes, and can no longer put off the decision. I can either major in computer engineering, or computer science. I like programming, and have interest in things ranging from operating systems to web back end stuff. I just want general opinions on both fields I guess. Anecdotes and opinions relating to the majors.
>>51282010
drop out and start a business in your garage
>>51282010
Comp eng and take a bunch of math electives. You'll learn programming as well as EE and be branded an engineer giving you more options in terms of what you want to do later. Whether that's a job in hardware or software as a programmer with an engineers mind which is quite valuable.
>>51282010
Computer Science honestly, the sort of distinction that computer engineering entails and suggests to others is honestly something you'll pick up anyway.

Just stop using DTS.
It's older than fucking MP3.
Did you know that DTS has each channel encoded SEPERATELY.
And at a CONSTANT bit rate.
You are only embarrassing...

Opus supports up to 255 channels, that should be enough even for the most advanced autism.

Well that was shit.
Had this thing for about a week before I realized all the problems I was currently having was because of the update. RAM usage up the ass, webpages loading forever, videos skipping and the overall UI constantly freezing.
Complete blunder, had to revert back to 41.0.2 which coincidentally fixed the problems I was having. How did they fuck this up?
Just use Chrome, goy.
>>51281813
I'm fine for now, currently using the older version. I don't know why I fell off Chrome, but I don't feel comfortable using it anymore.
I feel the memory leak strong in this one.
What happened to this shit? Every time I boot up a movie or some shit It tells me its pirated (which it is) and it refuses to play the media at all. Weird thing is, its happened with multiple different movie files of the same movie. Is it dialing out or was there something in the most recent version that prevents piracy?
Either way this is some botnet shit.
What OS are you running? I've never had problems watching pirated shit with VLC on Win7.
