Is there something like a ThinkPad of smartphones?

I.e. can buy it second-hand/refurb for a couple hundred bucks, it's durable, has reasonable performance, commonly breaking parts can be replaced by myself, is well compatible with free software operating systems (cyanogenmod or so?), can overall be used for 5+ years?

I'm dreaming, right? It's not how the smartphone market works?

I presume you're joking and they're the shittiest, or something? Because I remember hearing them to be pretty shitty.

I'm an absolute smartphone noob so don't expect me to get any jokes.

I wonder if a Fairphone would be worth it.

It's really not about thinkpad or any modern laptop.

Forget whatsapp and other closed sourced shady encrypted* ims
Forget NSA, Mossad and MI6 snooping
Forget sending babby's stickers and gifs

Use what diplomats and journalists use without modern day's teenage bullshit which is 100% end to end encrypted with open source cryptology and all messages, whether its pics, texts or videos gets deleted in 6 minutes after viewing. You can ofc adjust the timer yourself.

Pic related.

Vista actually isn't that bad once you install all the updates. It just suffered the same fate as Windows 8 where it was a flop on launch but was slowly improved over time.
>>
>>54854014
Vista wasn't bad from start either - it's just because poorfags installed it on their potato computers, and it obviously was slow, and because pajeet apps couldn't comply with new windows permission system, which MS took from linux and osx.
>>
>>54854119
Seriously this.
I had vista as a teen and it was alright.
Hell my old Vista comp booted quicker than my Win7, then again it had a lot less on it.

So, the supreme leader decided to start phishing people's facebook accounts by making a clone of the facebook website, but the site was immediately hacked by a college student from somewhere in Russia. Can you guess the password they used?

Is learning assembly worth it?
If so, which language?
8 posts and 2 images submitted.
>>
>>54853837
I think everyone who is serious about being a good programmer should learn a little bit to get a better understanding of lower level CPU details, but really the only people who *need* to know it are compiler/OS writers and CPU designers (and maybe a few other really low level types I can't think of at the moment). So the answer is yes, just don't get too sucked into it unless you plan on going into any of those professions I mentioned, because otherwise it becomes a waste of time quickly.

Go with x86 since you already have a machine that runs it natively (I'm assuming since that's what most PCs have) and there are loads of resources for it on any OS.
>>
>>54853837
Yes, you can only get so far without understanding what the compiler is doing. Understanding assembly won't hurt you at all. x86 is the dominant instruction set, but I'm starting with 6502 because it's simpler and more resources to learn from.
>>
>>54853837
Start out with a simple architecture, with a small instruction set. I like MIPS a whole lot.

A good way of learning is translating C-code, and then optimising. Comparing the cycle-count of optimised assembly and the C-code, motivates you to continue.

why are there tiers? they're app icons. do you really think about this that much?

This. The only thing I like about iOS icons is that they are mostly consistent, even for third-party apps.

I mostly browse the web and shitpost on /g/ and /b/. I also edit alot of pictures and sometimes game.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Core Prime (the cheapest samsung phone) and i don't use it as much more than an mp3 player.

This morning i woke up to a dead battery. The history shows the phone was "awake" but the screen wasn't on. Is the phone "awake" for some auto-update thing? How could i check for what caused it?

You can just take educated guesses or look at the details on app usage pertaining to your battery. Facebook is usually the number one cause for terrible battery life on every android phone ever. Just uninstall apps one by one until the problem goes away and then you'll know which app is the culprit.

It says that the operating system uses up the most battery life.
