So Stretch is coming at the weekend. Are you upgrading? Have you upgraded? Are you not upgrading and staying with Jessie or even Wheezy?
Discuss.
Debian is the worst distro
Why not upgrade? It's not like it's unstable, all the packages are at least a year old

Is this the stupid questions thread?
People I don't know are calling me and telling me they've recieved calls from my number.
I've never called them before.
How is this happening? Am I insane?
>>60887503
That's a stupid question.
Reviews are in. Almost all unanimously praising the Surface Laptop.

well if the laptop is good then it's good I guess
I will never buy Microsoft hardware ever again in my life. I tried to have my Surface Pro fixed out of warranty and the quote was €750. That's more than I paid for the device and more than it costs to buy a newer model used.

Welcome to the Apple life.

What are you working on, /g/?
>>60886597
In the face of recent changes in Firefox, some anons were asking for a /g/'s perfect web browser, we have collected here the most wanted features:
Granular control over incomming traffic like Policeman (more control than uMatrix in this particular subject).
Granular control over outgoing traffic like Tamper Data or like Privacy Settings (the addon).
Easy switch to preset profiles for both like uBlock Origin for incomming traffic and Privacy Settings for outgoing traffic.
Random presets generator for things like "user-agent" and "canvas fingerprint".
Custom stylesheets like Stylish.
Userscript support like Greasemonkey.
Cookie management like Cookie Monster.
HTTPS with HTTP fallback and ports management like Smart HTTPS and HTTPS by default.
Proxy management like FoxyProxy.
"Open with" feature to use an external application, like for using a video player with youtube-dl and MPV, or for text input with a text editor, and for other protocols like ftp and gopher, and even as a file picker.
Local cache like Decentraleyes and Load from Cache.
All this in a per site basis.
URL Deobfuscation like "Google search link fix" and "Pure URL".
URI leak prevention like "No Resource URI Leak" and plugin enumeration prevention by returning "undefined".
Keyboard driven with dwb features like vi-like shortcuts, keyboard hints, quickmarks, custom commands and non-bloated smooth UI.
Configuration options from an integrated command-line or in configuration files like Lynx.
A way to import bookmarks from other browsers like Firefox.
Search customization like surfraw, dwb funtions or InstantFox Quick Search, and reverse image search like Google Reverse Image Search.
Writen in C.
Low on dependencies.
Framebuffer support like NetSurf for working in the virtual terminal (TTY).
Actual javascript support so we can lurk and post in 4chan.
Any devs up to the task and join a team?

>you need to run nonfree Javascript to shitpost on 4chan
>>60886329
You can use 4chan with JavaScript disabled.
>>60886329
You are free to run your own front-end.
k I might just be retarded, how can javascript be nonfree when you can see the source code? Is it in terms of license?
>Hot on the heels of the 5nm announcement in partnership with IBM Research and Samsung, Globalfoundries is making two announcements around its 7nm manufacturing process. While the 5nm process is still in the test phases, Globalfoundries 7nm is much further along. In fact, today, Globalfoundries is announcing that their 7LP (Leading-Performance) process and FX-7 ASIC platform are available today for partners to start planning to utilize with design kits.
>The 7LP process is a continuation of Globalfoundries low power work in previous nodes like 14nm with a focus on cost and power. However, with the introduction of 7LP, Globalfoundries is touting a 40% device performance improvement over 14nm while also talking about reducing power by up to 60%.
>Globalfoundries 7LP process uses optical lithography, but is EUV “compatible” if a customer’s designs require it for one reason or another. Globalfoundries also claims an over 30% reduction in die cost with an over 45% reduction in target segments. 7LP is still a 7nm FinFET technology, with an expectation that the company will commercialize it in 2018, which isn’t far off, likely thanks to the strong early customer engagement they’ve seen on it.
>Products expected to launch in 1H 2018, ramping volume in 2H18.
>7nm FX-7 for ASICS
In addition to 7LP for high-performance logic and caches, Globalfoundries also announced initial customer availability of FX-7 for ASICs. FX-7 is a follow-on for FX-14 which has a leading 56G SerDes. This process would be used to build chips for hyper-scale datacenter acceleration, automotive, 5G networking and machine learning and deep learning applications. ASICs are short for “Application Specific Integrated Circuit”, which you may be familiar with relating to audio and video decoding and even machine learning like Google’s TPU. Design kits are available now with volume production expected in 2019.
>>Products expected to launch in 1H 2018, ramping volume in 2H18.

>In addition to the 7nm FX-7 and 7LP news, Globalfoundries in partnership with IBM and Samsung research teams together at the VLSI Technology and Circuits conference in Kyoto, Japan, announced the feasibility of 5nm with a functioning 5nm chip. This is a big deal for Globalfoundries and their partners because there were major doubts that anything under 7nm would be possible or coming any time soon. However, the research and testing conducted using Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) lithography technology. Using EUV along with stacked nanosheet technologies IBM in partnership with Samsung and Globalfoundries built a functioning 5nm test chip.

Which brands do you prefer to buy?
Have they served you well long term?
>>60885922
btw here's the final results from the Brand Boycott thread.
IBM, Panasonic, HGST, Kenwood, Pioneer, BlackBerry, Sony, HP, Unicomp
>>60885922
Panasonic. Rock solid build quality every time, never had to use warranty on any product. Been a loyal fan since 20+ years.
Asus. Good build quality. Good customer service. Only had one problem yet, was resolved within a week and was given placeholder GPU while the RMA product shipped from HQ.
Seasonic for PSU. High quality capacitors that can take heavy workloads. Quality japanese engineering.
Netgear. Out of all the routers I've owned in the past, netgears I have to restart the least.
Gskill for ram. Used them on one build. No complaints. Would buy again.
Antec cases. Every aspect of their case is well thought out. Helps you immensely while building your machine. Build quality is the best I've seen from all the other brands I've used.
HGST for hdd. Fantastic drives, though a little overpriced.
LIte-On for BD/DVD-ROM. Liteon manufactures for many other OEMs and their homebrand has the best build quality of them all. Never had a failed disk burn in their drive and after owning several liteon drives over the last 15 years. None of them had tray issues which are so common with other drives.
G-Tech for external HDD. They used HGST drives. Nuff said.

no point in talking you out of it. it's GOAT. I'm buying one as well in Dec.

Is the screen 8K? if it's only 5K then it's not worth selling your car for. Also you likely only surf 4chan and facefook, so it would be a waste of money. That keyboard isn't even mechanical. And the mouse isn't a MX Master.

Cool, glad firefox finally has multiprocess support now, it'll hopefully speed things up big time.
