>Android is officially the world’s most popular operating system in terms of Internet usage, according to new data provided by StatCounter, as it managed to overtake Microsoft’s Windows.

>Figures concerning desktop, laptop, tablet, and mobile usage combined show that Android is now powering no less than 37.93 percent of the devices connected to the Internet, while Windows fell to the second place with 37.91 percent.

>Without a doubt, the huge growth experienced by Android in the last few years, which helped it secure a market share of more than 80 percent in the mobile industry, contributed to Google gaining the leading spot over Windows, and StatCounter describes this switch of places as “the end of an era.”

>“This is a milestone in technology history and the end of an era,” Aodhan Cullen, CEO, StatCounter, said today. “It marks the end of Microsoft’s leadership worldwide of the OS market which it has held since the 1980s. It also represents a major breakthrough for Android which held just 2.4% of global internet usage share only five years ago.”

When setting up a dedicated server at home that will be used by people outside my home, should I use a secondary router that is separate from my primary one which people in my house use?

Trying to secure it so that the users of the internet around me will not be affected or infected.

At the moment, I'm using a RTN65U router.

Have you looked over the LibrePlanet talks?

https://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/tag/libreplanet-2017-video/

This is very worrying. I think the free software movement is fucked. It's all about social justice and multiple talks against trump with trump in the title. I genuinely don't see how we're going to retain software freedom in the coming years with all these insane communists dominating the space.

/g/ I'm tired of the Mac and iOS vs PC and Android shitposting.


Let's have the debate to end all debates.

Please post objective and serious arguments that support your side of choice.

I'll start with some points I've gathered from experience and research over the years.

Mac and iOS:

PROS
>Pretty hardware.
>Reliable as fuck according to electronics reliability reports
>Stupid simple to use
>More secure than other options
>Best software/hardware customer support in the industry
>Almost rock solid stability of OS
>Amazing build quality
>Good resale value
>Supposedly the best OS for programmers

CONS
>Not as much software support as Windows and Linux
>Almost no gaymes
>Literally worst fucking choice if you want gayming
>Not user serviceable
>If something breaks then you're fucked
>Literally throw the whole fucking Motherboard out
>"Obsolete" after MAYBE 5 years if you're lucky because because lol fuck you that's why
>Hardware is shit tier for the price they expect you to pay
>Worldwide market share is tiny compared to Windows and Linux
>Mac can't run Microsoft Access and the other office applications look weird compared to the native Microsoft versions

PC and Android:

PROS
>Way more freedom with Windows and Linux
>Android has has way more customizability options and better hardware options.
>Windows is best for gayming and office applications.
>PC has way more hardware support and better hardware for less monies.
>PC can be customized to whatever you want.
>Hardware and software lasts longer and is less suceptible to planned obsolescence

CONS

>PC and Android have more security flaws.
>Can be unstable at times.
>Tech support isn't so great
>designs can be clunky and ugly compared to Macs
>Battery life can be utter shit or way better when compared to MacBooks
>Doesn't have the "cool factor" of Apple stuff


This is all I can think of at the moment.

Please post objective facts with sources to prove your arguments.

Thank you.
