Man, FireFox is getting incredible unstable these days (I'm on latest version 55.0.3)
It's crashing seemingly randomly a couple of times per day with only a couple of tabs open
Chrome has never crashed, only once in a while a specific tab crashes but it doesn't suicide bomb the other tabs like Mozilla does

Apparently apple is pretending that USB-C doesn't exist.
It does. I don't really know what the deal is. I guess they like giving their customers antiquated hardware?

Pajeet has never been able to afford iPhone, which is why Apple ignored his country until just last year
>>
>>62395960
Why Apple insist on the Indian market tho? What is their evolution especially considering their prices ? Because technologies /AR & AI are going to be huge in the future so phones will become more and more expensive. Why Apple is promoting their phones like if everyone could afford them whereas in reality they are making it unaffordable more and more years after years ?

>>62395982
ignored how? I have friends from india who are able to buy iphones from india
>>62396020
idk man
>once Apple does it, everyone else starts to do it
In a year or less, we’ll see phones with specs that are on par/better than the iPhone X.

Specs? No
It will take 5 years for anyone to make a phone with comparable specs

>>62395868
Yes. Processor probably a month before next iphone. Camera a month after this one is released. We still need 3dtouch and I have no idea why android phones hadn't done it.
I want to use BootCamp on my Mac so I can use FL Studio because I hate Logic Pro, should I boot Windows 7 or Windows 10?

nigga my phone is 1080p and that's way more than what you need for a fucking phone

anything higher would be a waste of processing power and battery life, you literally can't even see the pixels so why go higher

Welcome to /lgbt/ Libreboot is the Greatest BIOS Thread!
Beginners feel free to ask questions!
More info about the project:
https://libreboot.org/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libreboot
https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=libreboot
Helpful resources:
Flashing the X60 internally (easy)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1K5jo9gk9LQ
Flashing the X200/T400 externally (advanced)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyxgYnOcsTw
So /g/ why haven't you installed the only BIOS that actually respects your freedom, privacy, and human rights by using no proprietary firmware and disables the Intel (NSA backdoor) ME?
>inb4 the dev is a tranny and drama queen
That's a red herring and has no bearing on the project
The dispute with GNU was resolved several months ago
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQCwYAhZnQg
>inb4 no compatible system
You can literally get a ThinkPad X200 for $50 on ebay
>inb4 no beaglebone/pi for external flashing
You can get an X60 for internal flashing or use a Libreboot flashing service (about $50) on ebay for X200/T400
>inb4 that hardware is ancient
An X200 will pretty much do anything besides "muh gaymin" plus there are some descent mobo's that support Libreboot for an Intel or AMD desktop system (see below)
Compatible Laptops/Boards:
Server boards: Asus KFSN4-DRE and Asus KGPE-D16
Desktop boards: Asus KCMA-D8, Intel D510MO, Gigabyte GA-G41M-ES2L, and Apple iMac 5,2
Laptops: Asus Chromebook C201, Lenovo ThinkPad X60/X60s, Lenovo ThinkPad X60 Tablet, Lenovo ThinkPad T60 (some exceptions), Lenovo ThinkPad X200, Lenovo ThinkPad R400, Lenovo ThinkPad T400, Lenovo ThinkPad T500, Apple MacBook 1.1, and Apple MacBook 2.1

Is the T9900 really not worth the buy? I have a T500 I want to upgrade.
How are open source graphics programs doing these days? Can they compete with their professional counterparts?
The way I see it, only Blender does.

You know how the FBI wants to hack your phone or force you to unlock it so they can botnet your ass? You know how forcing you to give your passcode to them is tricky, legally speaking?
Now it's easier than ever for them to access your phone!
>Be in FBI/CIA custody
>They take your iPhone X™
>Shove it in front of your face
>Now they have all your data
See? iPhone X™ makes everything easier than it has ever been!

>implying there isn't a more convenient backdoor

Correct, I do think there's some sort of SOS feature, where you just click the power button a few times or something and it will require passcode to unlock, much like the fingerprint?

I'd list off a bunch of devices to prove you wrong, but I'm guessing that was your intention when making this thread. Do your own homework.

>>62395451
Dell sold laptops with pre-installed ubuntu in the past, not sure if they do it now

You mean embedded devices? Like your Android phones?
