I love it when people say shit like "looks don't matter!only faggots care about a phone's looks hurr durr!" how does it feel to know that the only reason to why you ignore the value of design and aesthetics is because it would imply having to value your own appearance and therefore recognizing that you being so ugly and fat and disgusting is a major defect and that you'll never be happy until you start to correct your own faults? do you have any idea of how transparent you are to people who have had that mentality in the past but actually tried to improved themselves? 'cause let me tell ya /g/ this is exactly why girls don't like you and don't you tell me you don't want a qt gf because i know that 5GB image folder of qt animu grills on your phone isn't there for nothing.
that being said, what is the best phone of 2016 and why is it the galaxy s7? simply because, yes - it looks fucking gorgeous. that's all there is to it.
Nice attempt at armchair psychiatry as well as ignoring lots of key reasons why aesthetics don't matter.
1. Gloss only ever looks good in the display case, doesn't matter how clean your hands are the gloss will pick up shit out of the ether
2. If you're spending more time looking at the envelope of your phone than using it, then you're retarded
3. Most smartphones go straight from the shipping box to a case specifically to protect it (since most modern envelopes have the durability of wet kleenex) so you can't even see the aesthetic design in the first place
4. Chasing aesthetics has held back technological progress, since you can't fit more features into a constantly shrinking envelope
S7 is a good phone, but mostly because the rest of the field has even worse compromises, not because muh aesthetics.

>chasing aesthetics has held back technological progress
irrelevant since aesthethics are as much of a virtue as computing power (you know thats the whole point of my post) but sure thing.
>most smartphones go straight to a case
well that's your own goddamn choice.
>glass only ever looks good in the display case etc.
I wonder why we don't have completely oleophobic glass backs desu. I thought the only reason to why touchscreens aren't totally oil-repellent is because they need a certain amount of oil to make using them smoother and more comfortable.
fucking nigger bitch..
go ahead, unlock that bootloader and install a custom recovery with a custom rom and kernel so you can undervolt and not have to debloat what samsung did.
or maybe just root and titanium backup the bloat?
point being just cause it looks good dont mean shit. i would still put a TPU case on it to protect a $600 phone.
fucking faggots..

How do you do it?

IV and cathiter.
>>58395133
That's fine. Losing focus gives you time to backup and reassess any decisions or assumptions you've made. It also reduces your chance of heart disease.

>Genetically simmilar organisms tend to be vulnerable to the same diseases, one banana is infected and all the crops are ruined.

So lets look at how this applies to computers.
>New update comes out for Windows.
>Hacker finds vulnerability in one device with this update.
>Makes virus that infects all of them.
Why don't we have some randomisation to this then?
>New computer.
>Generates unique OS, one of potentially infinate possibilities.
>Hacker finds vulnerability in one.
>Can't make virus as this was a special case only occurring on this one device, and maybe like 3 others.
>Vulnerability reported and code will be put in the generator to prevent it from happening again.
Is this practical?

>Is this practical?
Tell you what, go randomly generate numbers and try to execute it. Let us know when you discover an operating system.
>>58395107
You must be a liberal arts major.
>>58395127
op may be retarded but you somehow managed to one-up him. procedurally generated is not completely random.

Do someone here able to program in this?
>>58395033
I can help you, if you've got a concrete question.
This isn't the correct board for homework questions though.
No, no one here knows anything about programming.
>>58395033
>Do someone here able to program in this?
Is this a programming board? I thought this was for anime and desktop threads.

I want to have an e-reader with a text editor/text editing (.txt) capabilities. Is it possible trough jailbreaking? What do you think?
>inb4 just use notes on the kindle
It doesn't let you write a page and it's inconvenient
http://www.pcworld.com/article/259582/how_to_use_a_kindle_dx_as_a_pc_display.html
Buy a used Kindle DX ($150 for the non-3G variant on E-bay right now)
Jailbreak it.
Put a VNC client on it.
Connect to a VNC server running on your computer/VM/RPi Zero
Open a text editor.
????
Profit.
Alternatively, buy a $850 e-ink monitor.
http://dasung.com/english/
>>58394950
These are nice options. But is there no direct solution to it? I mean,is there no text editor program to install on the "jailbroken Kindle DX" for example?
>>58394817
Why? Screen refreshing on Kobo and Kindles' is so fucking slow it makes me want to throw the e-reader at the wall.
>year is now 2017
>still no proper file picker in Linux
HAHAHAHAHAHA
B-but if you take this 7 year old patch the maintainers refused to add you can get semi-working thumb nails!
Why should a kernel have a file picker dialog?
>he fell for the GTK meme
How uncute.
/g/, serious question
When are we getting robot gfs?
>>58394554
I guess within 20 years.
Trouble is, the CPU requirements will mean processing is in the "cloud" with all that this means wrt. others listening in.
I read people actually get emotionally attached to their Roombas. So an obvious question will be on which side of the Uncanny Valley the robot-gf will reside in.
>>58394585
>the CPU requirements will mean processing is in the "cloud"
>implying you can't simulate a dozen typical girls on a single core Atom
I mean there is project gatebox but the problem is that corperations will just use your qt robot gf as a metadata hungry botnet so im not really sure.
i recently got a smart phone that i use occasionally to access two of my gmail accounts. yesterday, i tried to log into that account from my home desktop computer and gmail wouldn't allow me without authenticating with my phone that i'm trying to log into the account.
what fucking bullshit is this? i never turned on 2FA. there was absolutely no way to bypass this either. my only options were to authenticate with my phone or try logging into a different account.

I need an upgrade from my shitty GTX 960 4GB. Should I get a 1060, an RX 480, or should I get this? Or wait for Vega, of course.
that's not a bad deal for the fury.

Only problem is that I only have a 500W PSU, and I don't know if I'd have enough to go out and order a 650+ one
>>58394509
As long as you don't have an AMD cpu, 500w is pretty god damn fucking fine.
/g/, is their a archive website in the Surface web/Deep web where you can see a certain person's deleted accounts,tweets,and images?
Like for example,what if I wanted to find my old twitter account I deleted ~2 years ago and read my tweets,my bios,and my images I submitted in that certain account,is that possible? I heard there's a website like that,but for Reddit.

I like them a lot, very comfy, sound great with an amp, but can still be driven by cell phone.
