...So is there such thing?
The extensive Googling I've done would suggest that both CM and LineageOS still have fucked up SD Card rights.
I just upgraded from old Android 4 phone to new Android 7 model, and now my SD card, the main storage and soul of my mobile devices, is practically useless.

In case people have been living under a rock:
Google went and removed the chance of using SD cards in traditional way on Android phones after 4.4 update. This means that unless the Apps are given individual special permissions, they CANNOT store, or even necessarily access any kind of data on SD Cards.

Why's this a problem? Couple personal cases:
>Browse a lot of 4chan on the go, saving and sending pics and shit
>Don't want to bloat my phone's tiny memory, so always saved it all to SD card's folders
>Now literally cannot access said folders with web browsers

>Traveling in another country, taking tons of photos and videos
>Stock camera app has no real quality settings, meaning even 2 seconds of video takes dozens of megs now for no reason
>3rd party camera app does everything better and faster, but cannot save pics to SD card
>end up having to either manually, slooowly move 3rd party camera's files to SD card with File Manager app, or use the stock, bloaty camera application when the memory runs out.

The ONLY official options given for this shit are:
1) "Adapt" the SD card as part of internal memory, which encrypts the card and makes it useless on any other device for all eternity (not good)
2) Keep it as "mounted" external, but the above issues keep happening, and the few exceptional apps with limited rights to SD cards can ONLY save to unique folders created just for them. Which are also REMOVED if the App itself is uninstalled.

Besides all that, I've tried tons of unofficial tricks, such as:
>rooted and used number of "SD Fixer" app solutions
>edited platform.xml to have ACCESS_ALL_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permissions

Nothing has worked.

WinRAR 5.50 released

RAR5 is superior to 7shit. It's faster, compresses better and above all, it gives you the option to add recovery data.

So how does /g/ recommend activating Windows 10? I used to use KMSauto but that program is full of malware by now. Any other sufficient methods of getting rid of the watermark and stopping candy crush soda saga auto installation?

What engine does dirt 4 use and how much do we know about primitive shaders in current games?
Is this the type of performance we could see if everything lines up right on a Vega card?

Not cherry picking just wondering why vega could have such a massive win in this title vs such massive losses in UE4 games.

The picture has nothing to do with this. What's your favorite OS and why is it Qubes? Also what do you think about the GPU passthrough innovation at the moment? Will virtualization soon quickly and easily outpace compatibility layers like WINE?
