Because Mozilla isn't trying with Firefox either.

Well actually, the only thing Mozilla is trying to do is copy Chrome, and all that's doing is just hemorrhaging users.

The only browser that seems to be doing things a bit different is Vivaldi, but it's proprietary (even though it's based on Blink) and still doesn't have essential features, so I really have no desire to use it.

I really wish the Opera devs just open sourced Presto. Imagine the awesome alternatives we could've had if that happened.

There is Brave. Which could have been really interesting if not for their shady ad selling thing.

>made by the founder of Mozilla(the one that got fired for not liking gay marriage)
>a focus on security and privacy
>even has an ex-Tor dev on there

If not for that and the shitty UI it would be THE browser to look for I think. Shame.

Why hasn't someone just forked the last Firefox that was good and shoved all the good new stuff from Firefox in it and avoided all the cancer?

Hi

YouTube listen to money

People give money for YouTube

YouTube then listen to People

YouTube no give money for YouTube

If YouTube give $100,000 for YouTube then YouTube give for YouTube $100,000

Mean if YouTube give also take

Mean YouTube money more is 0

But people give money for YouTube YouTube money more is more

Thanks

Linux emulation's been gone since 5.9.

>>56386048
It was outdated and unmaintained. They'd rather work on making native software run better than work on supporting Linux binaries.
If you need Linux binaries or don't want to use alternatives, just stick to Linux.
>>
>emulating an OS when you can use that other OS
If you want GNU/Linux, use it. Dualboot GNU/Linux and OpenBSD.

>Alphabet Inc’s (GOOGL.O) Google has suspended Project Ara, its ambitious effort to build what is known as a modular smartphone with interchangeable components, as part of a broader push to streamline the company's hardware efforts, two people with knowledge of the matter said.

Can we agree that this will never work out. Phonebloks and Project Ara will always be trash since it defeats the purpose of minimization that smartphones need?

>minimization that smartphones need

Minimization has no place in a world of ever larger phones. Even the new Sony Z-whatever Compact is 4.6 inches.

RIP Ara. At least Motorola and LG are trying their modular things.
>>
Ara was shit anyway.

If you're going to do a completely modular phone, do it right. I want to actually be able to replace the underlying hardware, not just tack on stupid shit like another speaker or some sort of useless small display.

But, that will never happen, because the OEMs would throw a shit fit over how much money they'd be losing out on.
>>
>>56385874
Nobody gave a shit about ARA after the removed nearly all the modularity the last time they gave an update.

Used to use it as a KVM console for a KVM over IP unit that I had.

its also open source and runs on linux or os x

Just go back to VLC.

It's a simple fix that takes like 2 seconds. Stop complaining, it's not VLC's fault that NVIDIA can't get their shit together.

how long have we been stuck with 4 cores on mainstream desktop CPUs? 10 years? WTF?

why aren't we at 8 or 32 or 64 cores.... not enough parallelism in "normal" apps and games? chicken & egg?

>why aren't we at 8 or 32 or 64 cores.... not enough parallelism in "normal" apps and games? chicken & egg?

Some things simply can't be parallelized, and most consumer workloads simply don't need it. More cores won't improve web browsing, video playback, facebook messenger, or sending emails.
Intel's Coffee Lake in 2018 allegedly will make 6 cores mainstream, along with eDRAM equipped Iris Pro. Though this could be a special one off SKU for OEMs.
>>
Lazy devs, companies not willing to invest time and money for parallelism in their programs, and Intel being Jews.

How far behind x86 is ARM in terms of general performance?
53 posts and 9 images submitted.
>>
>>56385514
general performance hasn't changed in 10 years. so zero.
>>
>>56385514

ARM is not behind in performance, it is behind in efficiency

The main reason x86 id still preferred over ARM in bigger systems is because x86 processors keep using less power while also having more computational capabilities by being able to shrink the DIE size remarkably over time (mainly thanks to Intel)
>>
>>56385630
What? Aren't arm processor used in smartphones because of the opposite reason?
