>Intel Fights Record $1.2 Billion Antitrust Fine at Top EU Court
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-06-21/intel-fights-record-1-2-billion-antitrust-fine-at-top-eu-court
>The world’s biggest chipmaker is making a final attempt to overturn the penalty doled out in 2009 for unfairly squeezing out Advanced Micro Devices Inc.
>The computer makers coaxed to not use AMD’s chips included Acer Inc., Dell, Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co., Lenovo Group Ltd. and NEC Corp., the commission said in 2009.
This is it. Intel's last stand before getting hit with the fine. That's four times the cost of the 'diversity and feminism' protection money they paid last year. Who else is hoping they go bankrupt?
Sadly, the jews are going to worm their way out of the fine.
i hope that this scares everyone and their stock price comes plummeting down so I can buy cheap and profit on their inevitable return.

>1.2billion
Wow. It's literally fucking nothing to Intel.
Hell, they spent $300million on hiring under the basis of "Diversity and feminism"
As i can see on Window Maker site, last news is from 2014, so i should think that project is outdated or something like that? If it is, which nextstep/afterstep/windowmaker modern option should i use?
>>55195153
Is your goal to use the most obscure Window Manager possible?
>>55195172
Of course it is, is your hipster radar broken or something?
>>55195182
You aren't OP.
How can I play webms on my iPhone?
Does iphone have vlc?
Get VLC from appstore. Then you have to save the Webm.
how secure is kik to use as far as privacy goes?
this article from last year states
>Kik*: Kik also gets an asterisk here. Messages are not end-to-end encrypted, so the company can theoretically read them. But Kik claims it deletes user messages from its servers as soon as they’re delivered to a user’s device. That means it wouldn’t be able to share your messages with authorities if requested, and the length of time during which it could read your messages is extremely short.
http://www.recode.net/2015/12/21/11621610/is-your-messaging-app-encrypted
yet i found another article where a kik rep said it is encrypted
>"Kik is kind of built in a way where the people that built the technology and the people that founded it—they wouldn’t want people to be able to read their messages so that’s one of the reasons why messages are encrypted and they aren’t stored on our servers."
so i'm kind of confused, can somebody that knows more about this clarify if kik messages are indeed encrypted end-to-end?
It should be clear by now that the NSA is storing all this data on their servers anyway. It doesn't matter if Kik stores it or not, that's the wrong question to ask.
>>55195147
well i'm asking if KIK does it
>>55195236
From a privacy standpoint it doesn't matter. They probably don't, but I'm willing to be they collaborate with big brother to give them what they need.

Why is it bad to use "C style" in C++? Like the c standard library functions, char arrays instead of strings, malloc instead of new keyword etc?
blame GNU.
>>55194996
If you want to use the C code style just fucking code in C you idiot.
>>55195240
Then why bother having it included in the language at all?

All BSDs are. But imo FreeBSD stopped being good around 7-8. Whenever they replaced sysinstall.

My friend has asked me to find her a gaming laptop (dont bother linking me products, the price is most likely to be different where I live anyway).
So based on her budget I gather she can get a 970m with 5700HQ/6700HQ. But which is better? MSi? Asus ROG? Gigabyte? ...something else?
And is it even worth investing in one now with the 900m-series being at its end of its life cycle. When can we expect to see 1080m/1070m?

School is out. It's surplus season!
What did you get?
Today I got this Dell Ultrasharp 2408WFP for $40. I think it's a pretty good find. It's a wide-gamut monitor that needs a custom color profile to be used properly.
Thrift store finds are also welcome!

http://elixir-lang.org/blog/2016/06/21/elixir-v1-3-0-released/
is this syntax actually worth learning? ive barely heard of it before, whats the uses?
>>55194628
Elixir is Erlang with nicer syntax. It's based on Erlang and compiles to the same bytecode. Since it basically is Erlang, it's good at handling a shitload of concurrent connections passing information, fault tolerance, and scales well up to large distributed applications. Erl
I hope that Elixir doesn't end up like Erlang. Really powerful, really good at its job, but obscure enough that businesses won't use it because they can't find developers. It might be too weird for people to migrate to.
People don't seem to be making very much buzz about this release.

>2.0 introduces a large number of features, notably network disk browsing (Windows shares, UPnP, NFS, FTP, SFTP...), favorite folders and URLs, video playlists, rewritten notifications and control, popup video and a rewritten history.
>It is also a merge of Android TV and Android versions, so that every device can optionally get the Android TV interface. The TV interface has been improved quite a bit too. Finally, it should be faster to decode and playback all video types.
>Browsing your local network will make it much easier to play content on your Android devices if you've got a NAS or large shared directory on your PC. It also supports remote connections like FTP and SFTP. You can save favorite folders and URLs in the app for easy access as well.
>One of the more interesting things in this release is the option to toggle any device to the Android TV UI for VLC. Yes, even if you've got a tiny phone. I can see this being handy on larger tablets, or maybe if you're using screen mirroring on a TV.

I really would like to discard the proprietary shit I'm using for Android local Chromecast support but I guess this isn't the day for that.
Not excited about this release.

When will HDR monitors come out?
Late last year and early this year, the HDR monitors that would be made possible by DisplayPort 1.3 were all the rage with their supposedly better colors, brightness and contrast range. Since then however, there has only been a passing mention of HDR with Nvidia's reveal of the 1080 and there are still no mainstream HDR monitors that have been revealed. I'm holding off of new monitors until HDR comes out but I'm feeling worried about how long it'll take for HDR to go mainstream.
>>55194297
there are already tvs with HDR.
>>55194297
>1440p 170hz HDR
>>55194297
Good question, idk. Seems like only TVs so far and very few 30" x thousand $ monitors.
Do you think it's only gonna be OLED from now on?
Anybody use BSD? Why? What do you think of it? Why is it so unpopular?
Linux effectively got the first to market advantage and milked it for all it was worth.

It's shit peddled by try-hards. Literally the angriest community around, too.
>>55194248
good for real security (not all distros) and network stuff (again not all distros).
That's not the core target of this board
