Why don't you live in a smart house /g/?

I'm too fucking poor
Because if I wanted everything in my house to be connected, and wired to Big Brother, I would do it myself
this is smart
smartphones are slavery
If you're piss poor, You can do all that with an Android on Wifi
If it supports wifi and 3g I might still buy it.
Qwerty keyboards are imho better than touchscreens.

hahha, I could afford 200 iphones and burberry scarfs
only insecure people need status symbols
>Android
you can, but you need to install cyanogen mod and block all apps except whatsapp on mobile data, background services will use your mobile data otherwise.
>Android
5 days battery life?
make you not read the news and work efficient
NO
From a purely gaming perspective, do you think it will be worth it to upgrade to Windows 10 from Win7?
>purely gaming

Also, yes, it's worth it.
Not yet

New to programming here.
I installed Python to my machine to start programming.
If I build a program and someone tries to run it on their computer, do they also need python installed?
Or is that what compiling is for?
>>>/sqt/
>>47578938
>>>/sqt/
But to answer your question, yes that's what compiling is for. You write a source code, which a compiler takes and turns into something your computer can read and execute.
Python is not a compiled language. You need an interpreter, and that interpreter is Python, which needs to be installed. You can bundle it with your applications if you want.
Don't use interpreted languages to make anything serious, they're slow and inefficient.
Windows Vista is the most beautifully designed and practical OS there ever was. It is nigh impossible to provide evidence to the contrary. Yet, I invite you to submit your thoughts on this subject.
>>47577854
It's a beautiful interface, sure. But the days of skeuomorphism are gone. The signal-to-noise ratio in Vista's interface is disastrous (same for Windows 7).
>>47577890
Could you provide an example of what you think the future of GUI is?
>>47577928
Windows, OS X, iOS and Android all moved to interfaces with minimal noise, focusing on efficiency in visual communication.
It's what the people who don't know design call "flat design". It's actually a trend all visual media follows towards visual efficiency over time. That's already the norm on magazine publications, for example. It's now starting on digital interfaces as well.
How do you protect your home network from idiotic siblings/parents, gee?
By moving out.
VLAN and moving out
You can't really. If it's in the house, they are going to fuck with it. Putting it behind padlocks won't help either, it will make them nosy.
The best thing you can do is tell them what it is, and to leave it alone since you need it for [unrelated activity here].
Little sister was a shit when it came to mine, but I told her that I needed it to make sure satellites could help lost dogs find their owners and she left it alone.
She even calls dogfinder.
stay mad, poorfaggots.
font rendering doesn't matter when you're typing in size 400 or whatever
how about you deliver a good 6p font

Friendly reminder to sage Apple shills

feels good man. appleshit font rendering sucks.
Why would anybody willingly buy a chinese smartphone riddled with rootkits and chinese backdoors? Literally what the fuck is wrong with these people? Why the FUCK would anybody buy Huawei/ZTE/Xiaomi? Do they have even the smallest mental capacity to think? Are you that fucking poor holy shit? Even OPO is suspected of carrying rootkits. SOMEBODY FUCKING EXPLAIN

I don't understand, the phones sold in the US are clearly NSA backdoored and other countries brag about how much they can break into your phone
>>47580065
Whatever phone you get you already have the NSA in there. Being part of two botnets and in fact willingly doing so is beyond retarded. It bends my mind even trying to comprehend any sort of remotely sensible reason for this. I just cannot understand.
Where are you you goddamn chinese phone shills, ANSWER ME
>>47580122
>paying more to get spied upon.
Might as well go for the cheapest option if you're going to be spied upon. The chinese knowing what you fap to matters nothing at all, they're not going around policing the world like America is.
Does anyone regret buying a big phone?
Pretty much anything with a 4.5+" screen seems to be hard to use with a single hand.
So does everyone just use them with both hands?
Well, I own an oppo find 7a (5.5") and regret nothing. And I'm using it with one hand normally, but with two if I need to type faster or when I'm using it in the landscape orientation.
>>47576369
No. I read webpages in the browser sometimes.
>>47576369
5.5 inches.. I regret nothing. I'll never buy smaller
Let's be honest with ourselves here.
This is the only distribution you should ever consider.
And if you hate Unity or Amazon or whatever, just use Xfce/Xubuntu.
Done, end of story.
This should be the last distribution thread ever made on /g/.
>>47579500
*ubuntu [and for that matter, most other debian-based distros] are indeed as close to perfect as you can get with lignux on the desktop and server.
>>47579500
No.

Why aren't you using a netbook?
>implying, for even a SECOND, that netbooks are dead
Call me when netbooks can handle any games better than CS1.6. Until then, shut the fuck up about them.
Nowadays you can play PC games on fucking Windwos tablets.
I got my first gen aspire one out of the closet yesterday. I had forgotten how small it was, planning to get an SSD and start using it again.
Tell me this first: why should I get a <10" shitbox when I can get a 11-14" superthin ultrabook that weighs even less?

It's the same with Jurassic Park. The dinosaurs look worse.
If electronics is easy like lego then why aren't more people interested in building their own hardware with self designed pcbs and cheap off the shelf components like they do in China?
>>47571243
>If electronics is easy like lego
It's not. At least, when it comes to designing your own.
>>47571243
Probably because it's really hard to manufacture these, and China's manufacturing capability is a fair distance away.
Hell, even if you're dealing with China's manufacturing capabilities, you have to make a product that gets produced a few hundred times, and sell that.
They won't make you your device one time for cheap. The price is only reasonable with hundreds to thousands.
Tl;dr: Components often cheap, assembly of components into a modern device difficult - it's not easy.
1. You probably want to head over to >>>/diy if you want to discuss this seriously. This is /g/ - Consumer Electronics and Battlestations
2. For most applications, a ready-made part/device is already available. More often than not, designing your own shit takes a long time (plus you'll have to iron out the inevitable bugs) as well as a certain level of skill and experience (which again takes time to build) and will yield a less refined result than if you just bought something off the shelf.
In short, >>47571263 has it right.
