why are you a weaboo faggot

Explain negro

Because there are more efficient and safer ways of making free money, like theft.

it's shit

Some people want an init system that can do a lot, some people don't.

Pick the init system that works for you and move on.

>>57305887
Install gentoo

Gentoo would never let you down

Windows is designed for constant shut downs. It even pre-emptively shuts down your computer all the time.

why do more people use windows when it costs more and is technically worse than the competition?

because vendor lock-in and an larger existing software base

nvidia has CUDA, a lot of GPGPU software is written for CUDA, if you rely heavily on CUDA, you can't easily just buy some AMD cards

>>57306269
What kind of shitty software is CUDA-only?

>>57305765
YES :`)

>not rooting your Android phone
This is as stupid as not having administrative permissions on your PC. Unless you're a tech illiterate or not over 14 years old you should root your phone.
Anyway, look into DNS66. It behaves like a personal VPN which denies access to domains or redirects them (similar to how hosts file works). It works even if you don't have root permissions, just like NetGuard (AFwall+ alternative).
If you do decide to root your phone later then use AdAway.

>>57305752
Some people don't like breaking their warranty from what I know.

>>57305703
Install Firefox and the ublock origin addon.
>>57305752
LG G4 user here. The rooting process is lengthy as fuck and too risky.

in what sense? in the high-energy sense? he was a salesman in his early days and you don't get people excited about operating systems by being low energy.

if you meant the question in some other way, maybe try being a little more specific.

Requesting a shoop of Ballmer's face onto the lolwut pear.

Not OP but would guess his hate for open source software.

>diversity
No woman involved.
Fragmentation is good for marketshare. If you don't like it buy a pixel or nexus. The choice is yours.

>>57305556
I didn't mean that kind of diversity obviously.

>>57305539
Buy a Pixel or Nexus and then never worry again.

why not just get a dock?

also what's the usb-c<->thunderbolt adapter for?

>>57305518
Why does a dongle cost $50

>>57305543
probably because
1) he's buying it from apple rather than finding a generic USB adapter, and
2) USB-C adapters aren't ubiquitous yet, so you can't (yet) pick up some generic from Fry's or buy a dozen off of alibaba or something

>>57305464
Recently got some vps resources on the cheap, already have a murmur install, thinking about hosting an irc.

I've never been to a channel that wasn't idle 95% of the time. Clearly I'm going to the wrong places; what are some good active channels?

>>57305473
Somebody needs to. I don't know when they made this invite change, but it's bullshit.

any programming language combined with a decent graphics library can pull this off

go back to the shitting streets pajeet

Then you are most likely doing it wrong. Proper soldering is a few second job that usually takes less time than it takes to heat up the soldering iron.

sorry

>being a manchild

>>57304899
no, the gtx 1050 is a bit better and costs the same

current bang-for-buck chain is:

gtx 1050 2gb - rx470 4gb - rx480 8gb - gtx 1070 - gtx 1080

>>57304931
I sure hope you mena 1050 Ti

>>57304952
no I didn't

1050ti is in a weird spot between the 1050 and the rx470, it's too expensive considering what it has to offer

>>57304865
i tried to get into SDR ages ago but these rtl sticks are extremely expensive($600+) because they're banned for being non compliant.

also funded one of the many kekstarter projects for a high end device but again was destroyed at customs.

>>57304905
Where do you live? These sticks are usually $10.
Just try to import one?

Of those pictured the aluminum enclosed one (second from the right) from the RTL-SDR blog is the best one available, cost about $20 for just the stick, $25 for the stick + 2 somewhat useful but not fantastic antennas (but you can always get better ones easier now thanks to the SMA connector and not the MCX one on the older sticks).

Been into RTL-SDR hardware for a few years, it's an interesting way to do things but it's still too complicated for the average person that just wants to listen in. The fact that there is still no one single application that can "do it all" is problematic - to monitor a trunked comms system you either a) have to use OP25 on Linux (for P25 Phase I and II decoding but it does have the best audio quality of any software related tools out there and it can monitor such trunked systems with just one RTL stick) or b) you have to use Windows/macOS/Linux and multiple applications (SDR#, DSD+, and Unitrunker and SDRTrunk and all sorts of other stuff)as well as at least 2 RTL sticks all working in conjunction with one another and it's still just not as easy to use as a handheld scanner would be to get the same tasks done.

Yes it's cheap as hell and the software is free (thankfully) and it does actually work but as stated it's rather complicated to get things working well if at all.

Someday someone with actual skill and talent will code up a single app that can do everything and offer up the GUI that looks like a traditional scanner where someone can just do things much easier and without all the fucking hassles either.

As someone that's been listening to and using "police scanners" since the 1970s (yes I'm older than effectively every one of you, guaranteed) so this is a new way of doing things but, sometimes it just gets boring when you can't actually do something with any level of ease like an actual physical scanner does and it's frustrating as hell because we should be able to do such things.

We need better software.
