Why is this and every fucking Windows computer's power management so fucking stupid? Why doesn't it truly go to sleep when I shut the lid? I adjust the settings to tell it to, but something either wakes it up while the lid is closed, or the battery just drains while it sleeps. This happens with almost every Windows laptop. Is it the OS, or the OEM that's fucking retarded here? Macs literally do not, and have never, had this problem. I could shut the lid on my 2010 Macbook Pro, put it in a drawer for 3 weeks, and open it up to 5% less battery and all my applications still there.

Why is Stallman not happy about this? It's quite an achievement for the FOSS movement if you think about it.

Because that's a mobile OS and mobiles are non-free by default.

Android as released by Google contains many nonfree parts as well as many free parts. Most of the free parts are covered by a pushover license (not copyleft), so manufacturers that distribute Android in a product sometimes make those parts nonfree as well.

How come no one interjects that android is really the so-called "gnu operating system". Or as I've taken to calling it, GNU+Android?

So how big of a problem is smoking around computers?
I'll be moving in with my girlfriend and she's got the nasty habit of smoking indoors. Some windows are usually open as well as a fan going to keep the air moving.
With monthly up keep on cleaning my computer would the smoke still be that much of a problem? I've got the Fractal R5 so it's got several dust filters on there. But I don't think that would be enough.
Thoughts?

Get a nice HEPA unit, like the Winix 5300-2, or that big cylindrical Honeywell (not actually made by them, and you need to get third party filters if you don't want to stack three donuts). Or make her smoke outside. Even you-are-peeins have the sense to do that with smoking being the norm.

Why do my earphones always break after 7/8 months?
No matter what brand and how expensive they are, my earphones would consistently break after 7 to 8 months of use.
Is this planned obsolescence? Is 7/8 months their life cycle?
I'm just fucking tired of having to buy new ones so often and being a retard who buys sennheiser CX 3.00 premium earphones for $70 thinking :
>haha, these ones will last me longer, they're expensive after all
And they end up lasting as long as fucking 5$ gummy earphones before one side gives out
Is this some kind of jewish trickery I'm falling for? I just want earphones to use everyday that won't break a few months after I buy them

My cx300Ⅱ lasted for 4 years despite constantly in the washing machine
and I lost it
Just don't spend too much on IEMs. They all sound like garbage.
>>
>>58992270
I don't understand. Maybe I had defective ones cause I had Cx 300 II's also and they lasted me 7/8 months as I said. Maybe I'm not taking enough care of them
>>
The only breaking I have is with the cable, it's fucking annoying.
I never wind it up tight and pay extra attention to it not getting stuck between the door or whatever and shit still breaks.
I can fix the cable myself but it's such a hassle when it happens too often.

Hi /g/, as a 10 year user of the windows, I finally fell for linux meme after tinkering with ubuntu on a live usb for a few hours. I want to become a main committer to linux kernel so yes, I will install gentoo after learning about things. I installed some programs and applied some themes but I don't know how to proceed from here. Do I start reading phyton documentation? What did you do to uncover your inner hax00r, /g/?

Why wouldnt you just install it in a VM and have the best of both worlds

>>58991260
I tried but it threw random errors at my face every time I used another distro. I used oracle vm btw.
>>
>>58991269
That is definitely interesting. I used oracle vm and that is my sole experience with Linux. Fedora had internet connection issues and Ubuntu lagged like crazy.

I'm pretty sure they are really safe now, unless you use /csg/ SSDs.
But it could be dangerous if you live in a place where there are many power outrages or w/e is writting ayyy.
But for laptops is absolutely fine unless you don't have the battery for it and don't have the original charger, since it could fuck shit up the hardware including the SSD.

Just this morning I still held cautious respect for google. They've always been competent enough to not get in my way, despite being botnet.
But now I'm locked out of one of my email accounts. Pic related is what comes up when I enter the correct email and password. There is no phone or email associated with this account because I'm not a fucking retard who ties all his accounts together because he can't generate and remember strong passwords.
I've done nothing wrong yet google is able to outright cripple my operations without telling me what they have a problem with. This email happens to be the one I use for domain registration and hosting.
When did things get so bad? When did every fucking website require you to have an account using a bloated, outdated, and frankly broken protocol which is hard if not impossible (depending on isp) to host yourself?
In any case, google can die in a fire. What do I use for email now, /g/?

Honestly I wouldn't have an issue with Apple products because they do have their specific usages. However I have grown to hate Apple users. So many Apple users I have encountered as just walking billboards -- shills. Totally braindead.
