What was it anons? The OS that you were excited to see be released? A certain version of windows or os x? An upcoming Linux distro?
For me it was windows 7. That jump from XP to 7 was amazing if you skipped vista. I remember getting all excited over something as silly as windows aero since I skipped vista.
>>57170236
7 for me too m8.
First was Vista because "OMG PRETTY UI!!!!" I went so far as to spend a couple hours in Photoshop on Vista beta to make a wallpaper for my PSP that had the glass task bar on the bottom and the start menu orb with the PSP logo on top of a wallpaper I had also made prior to that. It was as perfect as possible and I even made glass panes that lined up with the PSP main menu icons and date/time/battery on the top right of the screen. Windows 7 was just as exciting because of the performance gains and stability.
Pic related, similar design, but not as accurate to Aero.

From a programming standpoint, why do Devs have such a hard time making DX12 work correctly?
the 0.1 and 1% lows are incredibly bad; bordering on unplayable.
preforming worse than dx11 in every aspect.
>>57170229
It's amds fault
>>57170351
>It's amd's fault
explain?
Even the best of the best assembly programmers will have troubles trying to outperform Nvidia's compiler.
Also probably because AMD's shitty architecture, every console to pc port performs like trash on both AMD and Nvidia hardware, meanwhile games that target Nvidia run wonderful like the latest Gears of Wars.
Been awhile
>Verizon shill thread
I am a Verizon shill. I'll answer your questions as best I can without giving away information that leads to my shit canning.
Pixel launched today to a spattering of applause. Cannot say I like the damn thing. It is like the fucking LG phones and takes 4 fucking minutes of 'updates' before it even allows you to input any information or blitz through the set up.
I'm still grandfathered on Unlimited data I use like 60GB a month. If I want to upgrade my phone is my only option to buy a device from a third party? I have a G5 at the moment but the lack of the root is really making me want to switch to something else.
>>57170303
Nope
You can upgrade with Device Payment like everyone else. Basically we take the retail price of the device and divide it by 24 months. Usually around $28ish for the high end phones. This doesn't create a contract beyond the promise to pay the retail price.
For your plan it is a flat addition of the monthly payments. Still a lot more forgiving then straight out purchase. Everyone else gets a discount to their line access making it nearly on par if not a smidge cheaper then a 2yr agreement.
Just keep your usage below 100gb. Those using that much and above are simply being disconnected from Verizon.
>>57170330
Didn't know about the 100GB thing.
Thanks I'll look into that.

I'm about to have a complete mental breakdown. Programming is a fucking meme unless you're naturally gifted. I've been at it for 3+ years now - it's always been bad for me but these past couple weeks have been the worst.
>last week, due to shit scheduling get a month worth of work dumped on me and two teammates to finish in 5 days
>stayed super late each day (11 PM on Thurs, 10:30 PM Fri, etc.)
>people breathing down my neck every 5 minutes asking when it'll be done when I'M TRYING TO FUCKING DO IT NOW, SHUT UP
>know that it'll be full of bugs because no time at all to QA, just creating more dread for myself later
My poor mental condition broke into my physical condition this weekend and I was sick all Sat/Sun. I woke up Monday with very little sleep on the verge of having a panic attack and called in to take the first half of the day off. When I got there after lunch finally, my boss had the most cold 'you worthless piece of shit' look on his face at me. I tried to explain that I called in because the work load is too much and the anxiety is mentally destroying me, but the words got caught in my throat and I realized if I talked any more I'd start crying (old habit, I've never actually cried at work but I can tell when I'm about to if I don't stop talking immediately). Boss said our company is 'more lax than most companies' and 'the whole industry is like this'. 'When I was your age, I did this schedule for 6 months straight sometimes'.
I tried to breathe in a bit and calmed down a bit, and tried to chuckle and say 'if I had to do this for 6 months straight I would quit', hoping he'd laugh and reassure me that we just had to push through this month's project or something.
He just frowned and said 'you know, it's a pain to fire people but if they say something that people can construe as them quitting voluntarily, it's really easy for us' so now I'm afraid I've given them a way to fire me without getting unemployment or whatnot, since a coworker heard the conversation and he could be a 'witness'. I'm so stressed, I can't enjoy anything on my time off, on the weekend I constantly worry about work and can't relax and play a game or anything without dread looming over everything.
The worst part is that they can get away with it because there is an army of Chinese, Indian and other 3rd world country visa workers who will gladly work under inhumane and insane conditions because the alternative is being sent back to their home country. Just to clarify, I'm not mad at those workers, their situation is even shittier than mine, but that's not any real consolation for me.
>just be irreplaceable brah, just be a genius
I can't, and I'm not. I don't know what to do. I worked retail in my teens and it was less stressful (slightly, I know retail is shit) but then I'd have to move back in with my parents, which would probably cancel out the stress.
I'm legitimately autistic (my shrink in my teens diagnosed me as HFA) but I doubt I can ever qualify for bux since in the government's view, I've demonstrated an ability to work.
Today I'm taking lots of (prescribed) Clonazepam to calm my nerves for tomorrow, but I feel like I'm going to just break down and start sobbing into my keyboard one of these days.
>>57170099
Stop. Cut all communication. Work. Work from home if you have to. Do the work, cut their words, their faces and their voices from your mind. It's stressing you out and distracting you from the problem you need to solve.
Just work. And then when you're done present them with it. I've had to do this before. Some managers don't know that they're fucking up your concentration. Just shut it out any way you can and focus.
>>57170094
> I'm legitimately autistic
You are not autistic™ or else you would be good at programming.

Because no matter how fast it is, it's an iPhone.
If you can't grasp that aspect as the reason, then you're just never going to understand the rest of the problems that come with it.

Explain to me why 4chan encrypts their disks/SSDs, uses a VPN, and doesn't use social media while extolling the virtues of Wikileaks for violating the privacy of government officials?
We all love Wikileaks. Why? Because it lets us know important gossip. We know which politicians can be bought, are liars, are kooks etc. We have always been a social species. I am seeding all 500 GB of insurance files right now.
If Anon is a Drumpf supporter, hates women, and lives with his mom as a NEET, I want to know about it, so I can avoid him. I don't want to treat him as an equal.
The death of privacy is really nothing more than the return of village or tribal gossip.
You wouldn't want to be invisible if you had nothing to be ashamed of.
Snowden > Manning > Assange.
Snowden carefully and consciously sifted through the data he had access to in order to release the most harmful and important information while protecting others. He worked closely with his outlets in order to determine what was able to be released without further endangering citizens or members of the military.
Manning was an idiot, but had information that the government was genuinely lying about in public.
Assange is a petty, partisan gossip and nothing more. When was the last real and important WikiLeaks? WikiLeaks was a "force for good" back when it operated like an actual Wiki, where journalists and other muckrakers could post information that endangered others without endangering themselves. Now he uses it as his personal dumping grounds and media circus.
>Le I have nothing to hide meme
You just watched a youtube video that illegally uses copyrighted content, are you ready to pay a fine, you fucking criminal?

Thank you for correcting the record.
I picked up a lg g3 32gb model for $100 CDN
how did i do?
hope you enjoy that tasty bowl of boot loopz
For 100 you did great! No go post on reddit to earn some more karma!
Upvote!
For $100 not bad
Does anyone here darknet their drugs? I used to think bitcoin was a stupid meme until I realized you could get bud for $50 a quarter, meth for $110 an eighth, and Xanax for $200 for 250 bars.
No DEA agent I do not buy drugs on the darknet although I would if it was safe and I didn't live with my parents.
I probably should look into it since it seems to be next to impossible to find acid these days.

sell blood until you can afford an iPhone
>>57169571
A few issues with that, I have a heart condition and am unable to donate blood. Otherwise, I would gladly do so. They pay quite well.
Also, no thanks, I'd rather not have an iPhone.

At a time when no-one gave a fuck.

You download Edge to download Chrome? I hope you finish off with Firefox.
