Why do people feel that 720p on a 5-5.5" phone is bad?

Because you can tell the difference between that 1080p and 1440p at those screen sizes. If people couldn't then nobody would be buying phones with 1440p displays.
Also what's wrong with VR? Modern phones are actually pretty capable of providing decent graphics for VR like the Note 7.

>1080p and 1440p
lol, anything under 2600p looks like shit
>>
>>56011526
I'd say at that size 1080p is reasonable, you can see a difference at normal viewing distances. With 1440p on the other hand you really need to move unnaturally close to the display to see the difference. At that point it's just pointless spec sheet bullshit.

Hey /g/uys whatsup?
Im sure this is the most relevant place to ask, and i know you are all godly wizardmen, so please, treat my anus gently.
First, let me start this off by saying i have no foreknowledge of any technical computer aspects, no computer programming, security, hardware, nothing whatsoever. Im as stupid as your average consumer when it comes to technology. (Not stupid enough to use apple products, though)
HOWEVER, i want to go into cyber security as a career, and i would not mind being adept in the various programming languages and tools, (C++, java, python, all that good shit)
As someone who is so inept, where do i begin my journey in becoming a computer whiz?
Also other statements i'd like to make.
>My school cyber security teacher said you don't need any prior programming knowledge to become a good cyber security specialist
>i am 19, just graduated highschool
>My main goal is to do cyber security for the army
>Does being a computer require you to be good at math?
>Im shit-tier at math and am not good at math beyond 9th grade pre-algebra and other basic math

Use a live CD to chroot in your installation & reinstall the GRUB bootloader.

If people donate carefully to one that deserves it, its fine, the idiots will stop getting money and the money income will dry up.

Doing babby's first custom ROM, and rooting my phone. The wiki just has a blurb on the warranty.
Is there a site with a good description of the security holes created by rooting and how to address each individually?

It should be a decent gaming PC . It's prebuilt and the cpu being used is a lower end i5 that is very uncommon . It shouldn't be a huge issue .

How does /g/ handle their external cable management?

A desk with a backplate on the legs. Then use double sided tape to secure a power strip and any other hardware as well along with mountable cable holders/clips of some kind. For long runs use that spiraled plastic cable wrap stuff.
>>
>>56010563
Oh, and wire ties because they work as well as zip ties but are easier to adjust and reuse.

I don't.
