Welcome to Apple Circlejerk General, where we gloat and jerk each other off because we own superior products that poors can't afford.
Posted from my MacBook with Retina Display (the best type of display available), Apple trackpad (the best available by a mile) and OS X (the best OS).
What Apple products are you using?

Last week I tried encrypting my hard drive, I thought it would be a good layer of security in the event my laptop was stolen or something.
I was wrong, something happened and the install was corrupted. Can't escape kernel panic this morning, everything is lost. All my funny memes are goodbye now.
Don't bother falling for the encryption meme, it's more trouble than it is worth, and you'll probably lose all your shit.

ITT we discus VLC for Android.
Why do / don't you use it?
What do you use it for? Video or/and Audio.
What is it missing in your opinion?
I use it for Video and Audio.
What I'm missing:
Skin can't be changed, I would love to switch from orange color to blue.
No Tag editing of Audio files possible yet.

It's kinda cool for making VR interfaces as a developer that can't afford a proper dev kit.
Other than that, it's neat for things like street view.

Is it considered a upgrade to go from a Macbook Pro 13'' Retina late-2012 to an Asus Zenbook UX303?

Also, how hard is it to pirate Microsoft Office on Windows?

Gj OP
Depending on which model UX303 you might get a GT940M in it, I'd get that one. Otherwise, the UX305 is a lot thinner and works just as fast/good.

An extension for the spyware currently known as Chrome to restore Backspace as Previous page functionality:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/backspace-to-go-back/nlffgllnjjkheddehpolbanogdeaogbc
Anyone actually happy with the fix? Pic unrelated.

I always just use right click. I never used the back space except on accident so I guess I'm happy...

Backspace as previous page is fucking cancer.

I was really glad when I heard they were removing it, backspace should have stopped being a hotkey the moment the web stopped being predominantly read only.

I just got a new laptop with Windows 10.
Is there a way to disable Microsoft from screenshotting my screen in 10?
Does Windows 10 really deleted pirated software off someones computer?

So I'm looking for a reliable windows tool for syncing two drives together, that lets me set certain files and folders as excluded on both ends, and lets me easily verify that certain folders are identical.
I don't get why people always have to start "What's the better OS ?" Thread.
You like freedom, *nix, FOSS and spend a little bit of time to learn how an operating system work to become better at computer science? Then you go for GNU/Linux (every distro is ok)
You like to use the most used operating system in the world, have a lot of compatibility and doesn't want to learn how an operating system work? Then You go for Windows.
You like a computer very easy to use, with a great app store and with good *nix programming tools? Then you go for macOS.
It's simple. You choose what YOU want, now what the society want.
For the first time on /g/, let's talk about OS without throw shit.
I personally find myself comfortable with Gnu/Linux and Windows. Also my mother use Ubuntu and doesn't have compatibilty problem on her ASUS laptop, she likes the GUI and thinks that Unity is very simple to use. I prefer Cinnamon, GNOME 3 and i3.
What about you?

Currently testing Arch and liking it so far.
I played around with Mint, Debian, CentOS, Manjaro, Fedora, and a some other distros.
I use Windows 10 Home for my laptop currently but I want to make a switch over to Linux soon.
>>
>>55960386
Op here, I tried only Debian distros and Arch, but I still prefer Debian Os.
I find Windows 10 very good, but not as good as a Linux Distro for me.
I've got a thinkpad T410 and a self built pc.
>>
>>55960168
Not every distro is ok, Arch literally is a worse version of Debian and Void.
Please Archfags, tell me how to change my init system without systemd getting installed as a dependency of packages. (https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-general/2015-July/039443.html), or change the /usr/bin/python symlink to python 2.7, or why your packages are all in one instead of being split up like debian?

There is no such a thing as a secure email when fucking everyone uses either gmail, yahoo or outlook.
>>55960114
Spilling the beans would have resulted in a lot of jailtime for the administrators/owner of the service.
Shutting down the encrypted servers was the best option they had.

This doesn't happen when you just use gmail :^)

But I'd like mine with an 8 bit micro, just for shits.

Also, that fpga would draw to much juice to be viable in a handheld.

Really? I thought they were pretty light on power if they were running as a fairly low-end CPU.
I'd like x86 compatibility to be able to run DOS on it, but hey, maybe an ARM will do instead.
