>Google Says Marshmallow Memory Leak Is Fixed In A 'Future Release'
http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/06/10/google-says-marshmallow-memory-leak-issue-fixed-future-release/
Currently have an iPhone 5c on T-Mobile in US and looking to go back to Android.
Want something with really good battery life (probably biggest preference), similar sized screen (although I don't care that much), and decent specs. Would prefer something in the $200-300 range.
Moto X Pure, LG G4, or wait for Moto Z/Force?

I usually disassemble everything and wipe all my parts and case and mother board with a nice bucket of boiling hot bleach.

The best OS to exist is OS X. It's the best in ease of use for new users and productivity for experienced ones. Take renaming a file to start with dot for example: in windows it just throws an error forcing someone who needs to create a file starting with dot to use cmd.exe, in most if not all linux DEs/file managers it creates a file starting with dot, but is hidden, confusing the user who didn't know that, while OS X explains the user why he shouldn't do that, while giving an option to proceed. And this happens with every aspect -- modifying system files, executing scripts and so on. Also OS X is the most complete OS, featuring little things that put it ahead of all others. Can your DE and/or file manager perform boolean searches, quick calculations in search and summarize text via built-in summarizer? Aqua/Quartz can.

I don't like mac hardware, that alone prevents me from using their OS.
Plus, I've spent too much time in linux to just abandon it at this point.
>>55068796
It's macOS now.
>>55068810
They're making a new one already.

its actually MATE.
Xfce or GTFO.

Has /g/ always been this retarded? Nobody even knows what the fuck a botnet even is, and they repeatedly apply the definition to the wrong shit.
Can one person give a concise definition of what a Botnet is?

It's pretty sweet.
Why is Microsoft pushing Windows 10 so hard?

Profit
What else did you expect from a megacorporation?
>>55059226
But how?
Tracking your data and sending it to advertisers?
>>55059211
Because it's their newest OS and the more people use it the less resource they have to spent to maintain older versions.

NVIDIOTS LITERALLY ON SUICIDE WATCH.

This.
If any site blocks viewing the content, then I just leave, and avoid it if I ever see the site linked anywhere else.
Plus I'm so, *so* fucking sick of the Internet's information firehouse. There's too much info to consume out there, and it's made me dumb, so I don't care if a site or two with possibly-good content gets knocked out.
I'm fucking sick of terrible ads, and I will gladly support alternative models. And content-creators even just *knowing* they could go against their userbase and do something to get extra ad-revenue is a subtly corrupting force. Even as much as they try to resist it and do the right thing.
I want to live in a world where content creators' livelihoods is directly dependent on us, the direct consumers, and where the profit they make depends on how good their content actually is.
Hey guys. If any of you know anything about this subject, please help me on /wsr/.

if data is quantized it is not an irrational number when measured (like binary).
LSB and MSB just refers to positions within a register. The most significant bit is the digit with the most value. Remember binary is just base 2.
in base 10, if you have 9425, 9 is the most significant bit, 5 is the least significant bit.
>>55077090
Ohh okay, thanks for explaining the LSB/MSB.
Could you please elaborate on the irrational numbers?
Can someone explain to a PC retard what the difference is between teraflops and clock speed?
Teraflops: Speed
Clockspeed: Horsepower
Can someone explain to a PC retard who knows nothing about cars what the difference is between teraflops and clock speed?
>>55077017
One is a unit, the other is a variable.
