Discussions of the structures of hard drives, hard drive manufacturers, quality of their products and general user experiences goes here.
That said, how do you compare WD with Toshiba? All I found on Google is paid shill reviews.

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

Why are residents of some countries (America) tied down to 1 ISP in some areas?
Because of our glorious free market.
>>59404701
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.
Why people here hate Atom?

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

Vim > Emacs > Notepad++ > Nano > Atom > Sublime
After 13 years of being on Windows [XP-W7, I never went beyond that] I think I'm in love with Ubuntu. I can just browse through the OS and read Linux shit for hours. Is something wrong with me? It's such a great experience.
i like unity for some reason
Unity has matured into a great GUI, especially after a bit of ricing.

Why aren't more people on Nougat? Why are they choosing to use an old and insecure versions of Android?
>>59404454
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.
>>59404454
>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.
>neither Firefox or Chromium have HTML5 video acceleration on Linux at all, for either MP4 or WebM

If a phone is sitting idle for several hours and is on, is it better for it to be on the charger the whole time or to be discharging the battery?
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.

My new chinkphone will be arriving sometime
I want to start fresh, install custom, CM14 probably.
And I want to ditch google play services.
There are a few exceptions though, I still want to use the following apps: fb, instagram, tinder, google maps(really good when visiting new place, especially for bus schedule and routes)
Any possibility?
>>59404103
>fb, instagram, tinder
>>59404135
Yea yea, normie wannabe
>>59404103
FB, Insta, Tinder shouldn't be a problem since they aren't google apps you retard.
If Google Maps doesn't work use waze
ITT we discuss the latest developments in Android adblocking.
Is Adaway out of the box still enough? Can it be improved with other filterlists? Is there a way to make Adaway as effective as uBlock?
Is DNS66 better?
>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.
