Still this much? Damn dude cooled off

no stock Android on Tablets is really bad.

I think part of the reason was to look good in stores. If you have a non curved and curved phone next to each other playing the demo video, the curved looks waaay more futurostic.

yeah but a expensive mainboard does next to nothing to improve the performance. If you already got the best SKU on offer and want to overclock then yes but otherwise its nonsense.

I don’t get why people who aren’t already running Ryzen 9s, i9s or 4090s are buying anything besides the cheapest option. On my last 3 builds I always sorted by price and picket the cheapest option for the CPU Socket, payed at most 70$ and never had any issues. If you need to get the last 5% of performance by overclocking I get it, but for anyone else this is a giant waste of money.

I think the 2013+ design was fine at time but 10+ years of doing the same flat minimalist design over and over makes me hate it now!

no, I’m willing to die on the hill that the ribbon UI is one of the greatest UIs period - especially how it was done in office 07 and 10. As a computer noob at the time, it was a huge improvement over the previous office 2003 UI.

The icons always gave you a good idea what something was doing, important functions were bigger and when you for example selected a table the table tab was visible and with a different color so you knew that you could do things with that table.

I think however many 3rd party programms did the ribbon UI poorly or had not enough features for it to make sense.

They have gone about this in a really stupid way. Instead of doing this exclusivity shit, they could have made games 10% cheaper for the enduser across the board.

Also their launcher sucks

I don’t care for Linus these days but respect for that.

its certainly not handled any better now

Österreich oder? Hab ich damals auch bei einem HTL Praktikum gemacht.

At least with Java, its the over(ab)use of Reflections and stuff like dependency injection that slows things down to a crawl.

not every but those who invest more into their guns and gear than the place is worth.

Found too yesterday on F-Droid. Absoutley glorious, even runs perfectly smooth on a almost 10 year old Galaxy S6 Edge.

God I hope someone tries to rob this place when I’m home.

But why?

nah, just search for brave beta 108 Android 6 Arm V7. Thats the last Android 6 build and 99% of sites work just fine.

Last time I checked ARM v7 is not the issue, there are still up to date builds available from Chrome itsself or Brave, rather Android 6 is. Google seems to have a cycle where roughly every fall they drop another Android version.

Right now the minium requirement is Anroid 8 and if the cycle continues it will loose support in a few months and Android 9 will be the new minimum requirement.

However I also have a a few Android 6 or 7 devices and usually firefox runs fine on them if they at least have two proper large CPU cores. But using two year old Chromium based browsers, I never ran into any sites that wouldn’t work correctly.

Where my LG homies at?

No, open source means that its public HOW something is done, down to every single line of code (along a lot of other things when it comes to licensing, redistribution, … but thats not the main point)

With a open standard its public WHAT something is doing, but HOW its achieved can be public or not.

To give you a example, HTML is a open standard for displaying Webpages. Somewhere its defined that when a <button> element is found, the browser has to render a button which looks a certain way behaves a certain way when interacting with the mouse, keyboard, javascript, css … . This is WHAT your browser needs to do.

But HOW you do it is up to each browser. Do you use the CPU or GPU to render it? Do you first draw the border, then the text or the other way around? It doesn’t matter to the standard as long as the end result complies with the spec.

With open source browsers like chromium and firefox it is public HOW they are implementing this feature, down every line of code.

With a proprietary browser like Internet Explorer which follows (or rather followed) the same open standard nobody knows HOW they are implementing it. We only know that the end result is adhering to the HTML Standard.

The hardware equivalent it would be someone releasing the exact schematics of for example a RISC V CPU where somebody could see HOW they implement the specifications of the Architecture and where someone could without much hassle go to a Manufacturer and get the chip into production or make modifications.
