>hard drive manufacturers, quality of their products
>how do you compare WD with Toshiba?

It's silly to bother trying to ascertain whether brand X is more reliably than brand Y. All of them have had occasional dud models, and all of them have a certain percentage that fail. Buy the cheapest $/TB drives you can get, and trust redundancy and backups to protect your data instead of brand-whoring.

HDDs: WD Red and Black yes, blue and green no. Toshiba no.

Always buy an SSD from a memory manufacturer like Samsung, never a drive manufacturer. Avoid Seagate and OCZ like teh plague. my $0.02

R was the first language I learnt and it's horrible. Only use it if the package you need isn't on Python.

R is shit, SAS is shit. Use Julia or Python

depends on the area in america but generally apartment complex owners make deals with cable companies to only allow their service in their buildings
I know that one of the larger isp companies in atlanta is trying to block google from being able to lay lines by bribing local legislators

Because lax business laws = monopoly.

Even here in the city there are only 3 choices... and all of them are horrible.

Slow.

That's why. Also there are other alternatives to VSCode if you don't like it.

i like unity for some reason

Unity has matured into a great GUI, especially after a bit of ricing.

Most mobile phone users don't know shit about technology and don't care.

Also most phone updates are pushed out by the companies, meaning that there will be some delay.

>>59404454
A few reason.

Most people have no clue what version they have and don't care. For them whatever automatic updates their phone gets is all they will ever get. Since companies such about updating phones (especially non-flagships) that means a lot of people on older versions.

>choosing
Most Android users are on locked down carrier models that stopped getting updates years ago. They couldn't get on Nougat even if they wanted to.

>>59404441
That's not true though.

I'm afraid to get caught

for laptops its better to be on charger
if phone is designed well, also charger, however i'm not that sure about it because phones are desidned to be production cost and planned obsolence in mind

>>59404382
Modern phones don't draw from the power source and overcharge. I'd rather it be plugged in so I get it at 100% than grab it at 89%.

There's no damage done letting it discharge very slowly and most phones with ~3,000 mAh batteries have a standby battery life of around 3 days or more.

FB, Insta, Tinder shouldn't be a problem since they aren't google apps you retard.

If Google Maps doesn't work use waze

>Is Adaway out of the box still enough?
Yes

>Can it be improved with other filterlists?
Yes

>Is there a way to make Adaway as effective as uBlock?
No, uBlock Origin can do more powerful blocking than the hosts file, mostly because the hosts file's primary function isn't to block ads

>Is DNS66 better?
No, since it uses a local VPN it means you won't be able to use a VPN in conjunction with it, only benefit it has over AdAway is it works on non-rooted devices and you can whitelist individual apps

>>59404099
Just get Firefox and uBlock Origin you nigger.

>>59404375
Adaway blocks ads everywhere you double nigger.
