"If I were running Apple, I would milk the Macintosh for all it's worth — and get busy on the next great thing. The PC wars are over. Done. Microsoft won a long time ago."

Steve Jobs literally did not contributed anything to Apple since it's inception.

>>59774585
He was right.
Mac still isn't winning against PCs but he managed to milk a certain group for all they are worth.
Instead he managed to capture the largest share of income from the smartphone market.
He did what he said he would. Kinda funny really.

Has anyone had experience using Fitbit without gapps? I'm at the point where I'd like to cut Google from my phone but I'm worried how Fitbit will play without Google Maps.
Alternatively are any fitness trackers able to be made more privacy oriented?

For something more private you'd probably have to use some older form factor smartwatch without applets like a Garmin or something. Most watches come with google apps by default especially ones meant to be paired with android. at that point it's less of a smartwatch and more of a pedometer though

What do you need a "fitness tracker" for? People have managed without that meme technology for millions of years.

meh, maybe swap the ssd for a better brand like samsung.
Also save some money and get your Windows license through here: http://www.allkeyshop.com/blog/buy-windows-10-professional-cd-key-compare-prices/
MS allows you to download the latest ISO's from their website as well now so no reason to spend so much on a license.

>The Windows phone community may be the most passionate group of smartphone fans on the internet. Sadly, it seems that many, not all, of those fans, are also becoming the most jaded, cynical, aggressive and downright cruel group of anti-fans on the web. What happened to that jovial bunch of loyalists that began embracing Windows Phone 7, Microsoft's unique mobile OS, back in 2010?
>Many unique features of Windows Phone 7 seduced fans to embrace Microsoft's refreshed mobile OS seven years ago. As a reboot of Microsoft's mobile efforts, the Windows Phone OS was touted by Microsoft and fans as beautiful, fluid, light and buttery smooth.
>The OS-level integration of various services almost made the OS the "app for that" that other platforms needed an actual app for. The idea of hubs and Rooms were also fan favorites. The phones control center - the Me Tile- represented the apex of the Live Tile user interface we all loved. All of that was coupled with esteemed Nokia hardware that dominated nearly 100 percent of all Windows phones in the market.
>We, fans, bragged about "our" industry leading camera tech that was recognized as the standard to beat. When little else was respected by "our" rivals and the advocates of competing platforms we at least had the best camera tech and an OS so light that it ran optimally on even low-end hardware.
>Unfortunately, literally, all of that changed. Well, we still have Live Tiles. But after seven years there has been no radical evolution in their functionality besides new sizes, grouping and chaseable notifications. Exploding tiles which was hinted at years ago seems a forgotten hope.
>Virtually everything fans loved about Windows phone has changed.

is there a way I can flash a windows phone 10 rom onto my android phone?
>>
>>59774513
that feature was abandonned and was only released on few hardwares
that's the story of windows phones, abandonned features
it could have resurected with the ability to install apk, the beta was promising, and a similar project with ios apps was there too ... MS comited suicide for unknown reasons
>>
>blah blah blah
So why did they change? I think it's because the trash OS didn't stop being trash nobody but them cares about

You have five (5) second to prove that OOP is better than procedural or functional programming.

drug trade is now a shitstorm on it, you're better off using traditional local stuff. no reason to go there for pizza either since every regular porn site is flooded with it. waste of time imo. if you're legitimately curious, use tails and don't save anything to a permanent drive.

no matter what OS you're using chances are it's still sending unencrypted data right to the CIA, so even if TOR wasn't a a botnet you'd still be part of the botnet
tl;dr you're part of the botnet

>>59773828
Its probably more harm than good at this point.
Probably better to blend in with the noise than be one of the few people accessing tor and therefore are worthy of suspicion.

They're alright.
You'll want a sub for home theatre though.
Also there's probably better for the money out there somewhere.

Not home theater, but got this for my computer and it's has nice sound quality and powerful bass. Electronic music sounds good with it, gayming (the little I tried) is nice too. Good for its price.

I've been through many of the generals and looked through plenty of the learning materials but I'm wondering what is considered the best platform for learning code? Are websites like udacity/codecademy worthwhile? Videos from stackskills? I've used all three and while udacity was a good mix of the other two, codecademy seems to really only help you learn syntax and stackskills has very little in the way of hands on learning. I've looked into a few books but I don't know if that would be worthwhile or if I would even retain much knowledge from them.
>tl;dr best platform to learn code for a complete novice? websites/books/videos/college

do it the old way. go to a bookstore and buy a book. I recommend "learn python the hard way". it's a good for beginners and if you finish it then you can pretty much learn any other language because they are all similar.
>>
The best platform is to look for a project that sounds interesting, then complete it. Don't just copy and paste the code, but take time to actually understand what you're doing. Experiment to try to get different results, etc.
Books are good references, but no one MEMORIZES them.
Programming is like a board game, you'll pick up the rules as you play.
