Note, the synopsis contains major spoilers, so if you're actually interested, I'd go in blind.
 
If you've ever read "Fahrenheit 451", this is basically a ripoff of that, but with shotguns and martial arts

Correction: A11 has two high performance cores and four (not six) efficiency cores.
 
Google might make an application processor but let's not get ahead of ourselves. It takes years, tons of money and tons of engineers to get anywhere especially if starting from scratch.
 
Remember Apple didn't just pick up an engineer here and there whilst designing their chip in-house. They bought entire companies with lots of talent to jump start their endeavor.
 
Google needs more than a couple of guys to do this.
 
Google might just be making more specialized hardware like they do now with the Visual Core and their tensor cores.

but on the other hand... if you think about android.... how many people claim that after 1 year of usage their phone pretty much gone into shit... and become irresponsive... and slow... and stopped receiving latest android update.. 
 

$100 is too much for the ability to profit heavily off a good app idea?
 
I'm sorry but I don't see a way to validate your viewpoint. 

A vulnerability is a defect in code that allows you to bypass. A face recognition software being bad at recognizing faces is not that. Its just a crap algorithm. 

had a great software experience on kitkat using nexus 5,. and the battery drain is like insane.
bought nexus 6p.
update my phone to latest OS. 
BUG ME THE FUCK BACK TO IOS. 
 
1000 nopes. If you can't give me a fully functional phone, I dont care at all about the "customization" I can have on it. Its stock camera won't even work. 

I think people need to realize as well they're paying for a free update for at least 2-3 years on the OS and one of the best if not the best after sales customer service and add-ons from an electronic brand in the world.
 
The whole industry only realized recently that if they want to succeed, what they need to sell is not a hardware or software or both. They need to sell a great experience of interactions between the gadget and the customer. This is why microsoft and google, the 2 big companies that have the capability and resources to rival apple started doing the same thing apple has been doing for years.

people need to stop trying to justify or argue against mac pricing using  diy pc gamer mindset.  Sure you can get equivalent hardware cheaper,  but their target audience is not interested in building a computer and they are certainly not interested in troubleshooting and being their own tech support when things don't work.  That goes for the MS surface as well. 

It is interesting how what in the US is called "lobbying"  in most cases everywhere else in the world it would be a school example of bribing and corruption. Interesting, indeed.  

I don't hate Apple but... <proceed to hate on Apple>

-LTT Forum-

You're literally desperate for reasons to keep using outdated software, aren't you?
 
They're not disabling alt tab, they're adding an alternative.
 
I swear, the people who hate windows 10 are so delusional.

Apple has finally released a security patch to resolve this "logic error" at 8 am, this update will be pushed out later today if you didn't get it.
Statement from Apple
 

Comments section on YouTube by salty PCMR extremists is just very toxic. ?

You guys may be laughing at the capacity, but for many companies (tesla included) reliable 120GB SSDs are ideal for use in like 95% of the computers there. The machines for example, they all need a boot drive for windows/linux/whatever
 
All the employee laptops too
 
Most stuff ends up on a network storage solution in big companies anyway.
 
Hell I'd buy 64GB SSDs for my own use if the price was really low, I've got plenty of machines here that are just internet surfers or they do everything through my fileserver

1. ask the people lurking your forum
2. ask your customer if they want to be your guinea pigs
3. use third parties for market research

One Plus's business practices have always bugged me a bit, a lot of their marketing comes off as kind of cocky and aggressive. They've had quite a lot of controversial things pop up in the news, like that time they tried to get women to take selfies in order to get a chance to buy the phone by being voted on. 
 
Mistake? Maybe. Innocent? Not at all. Just dumping unencrypted data in an insecure place isn't an innocent mistake, it's a pretty serious mistake through negligence. Doing it after being called out for something similar before isn't acceptable. 
 
I've never really considered One Plus phones, there has always been something about the company that has put me off a bit. Might have nothing to do with this, but I've never really liked them based on their marketing

Nobody should really be surprised at this...

I asked rhetorically to point out the hypocrisy of you saying "if you do nothing wrong you have nothing to hide" and then a page later saying how you hate people snooping on you

And you already lost. 

Yes I know that people don't read the ingredients list. That's why I made that example.
It is not "bad practices" to not read privacy policies and EULAs because doing so would require an extraordinary amount of time as well as knowledge most people simply don't have. The entire system is broken beyond belief. How horrible TOS are is a subject for another day.
 
OK, what do you suggest? Clearly this outrage has made Google, which currently holds about 82% of the global smartphone market share to change their ways slightly. If you don't think changing the behavior of someone that holds 82% market share is a big deal then I would like to see what you suggest we pursue.
I think it would be worth grilling Google for this even if Android had 0.5% market share. Improving the product 0.5% of smartphone users use would be a small victory, but a victory nonetheless.
You can't expect to change an entire industry without ever confronting anyone who actively contributes to the issue.
 
Terrible analogy, because people were not aware of it happening. It's more like someone sells you pain killers for your migraine, and you take them every day. Then one day you realize that the pain killers you have been eating contain meth and now you're addicted to meth. And before you go "people should have known", they clearly didn't and you can't expect people to know. Do you know every single ingredient in every single food you have eaten in the last year? No? Me neither. But I don't have to, because we have laws which makes sure the ingredients are not severely harmful to us. We have laws which means we don't have to spend several hours every week reading the ingredients list to make sure what we eat doesn't contain poison that would kill us. In the same way we need laws which makes sure we don't have to read TOS and privacy policies which could harm us.
 
Not a label with a warning on it. I clearly wrote that they would put it in the ingredients list and on one page on their website (not a warning on the front page either, just somewhere on their website). Would you say someone who died from that would be a dumbass for not reading the ingredients list and realizing that CHEBI:17514 means cyanide? Yeah, what a dumbass. Totally deserves to die and Coca Cola did nothing wrong there.
 
Also, are you even listening to yourself? I don't even know how to respond to this. Do you understand why laws and regulations exist to begin with, or is that entire concept completely lost on you? By your logic, meth, heroin and everything else should be completely legal to buy and consume, because "if you use that then you're the dumbass at fault". Laws and regulations exists to protect people not just from themselves but also for being taken advantage of.
 
Being a victim and being part of the problem are two different things.
Nice victim blaming though.
 
Are you serious? People are coming together. People are upset at Google for doing this and it has made Google change their mind. The one who isn't coming together is you, because you for some reason jump in and defend bad behavior while at the same time complaining that everyone else is part of the problem. You're the one who doesn't agree that this isn't OK. You're the one defending them and putting the blame on the users instead of the perpetrator.
People shouldn't have to work around issues when the companies can be held responsible and fix the core issues, just like Google is doing here by removing this in a future patch.

Both my LG and Samsung phone has a switch called "positioning". When I flip that it turns off both WiFi and GPS positioning. It is reasonable to expect that it will not track my location using cellphone towers either.
Whatever happened to living up to reasonable and sane expectations? Does everything need to be spelled out in extreme detail or else we should expect the worst? The box my phone came in did not explicitly say the box wasn't rigged with C4 either, but I think it is a fair and reasonable expectation of me to assume that the box won't explode when I open it.
 
Doesn't make it more acceptable.
"Everyone else is doing it" is a garbage excuse and I would appreciate if you don't ever try and justify bad behavior with it again.
 
1) Barely anyone actually reads those, and you know it.
2) Just because they have it in one of their policies does not mean they should be doing it.
I am not trying to argue if they are legally allowed to do something. I am arguing what I believe they should be doing from a moral standpoint. 
 
 
If Coca Cola were to suddenly start adding non-lethal doses of cyanide in their drinks would you defend them as well? It would be right there in the ingredients list. They would never have lied about not putting it in there. They could even have written it in one of their legal documents that can be found on their website. That does not mean we should all sit down and lick their boots.
 
Stop defending bad behavior.

Not a surprise. Everybody new this.
I try as much as i can to avoid google.
 
I use Sailfish OS on my nexus 5. So no google and no google apps at all.
I use startpage search engine
Openmailbox email
Firefox browser
Arch Linux OS
Dnscrypt with Opendns like dns servers.
 
Hell, i try to avoid not just google also Microsoft and Apple. These are main companies to avoid if you care about your privacy.

What do you think of this? https://www.avadirect.com/Clevo-N130WU-13-3-QHD-Core-i7-Intel-UHD-Graphics-620-Custom-Laptop/Configure/11544736

The Surface Pro or Surface Book should fit those requirements. With a student discount, they should cost about $2000, maybe a bit more. 
Same goes for Apple MacBook Pro. Those should also fill the requirements, and should cost about the same, and you can use a student discount. 
Afaik, those have the most accurate displays
 
Edit: forgot that 7th gen U Series CPUs are dual core. Those are the ones in the Surface Pro. I think the newer Surface Book has quad cores

completely agree a windows surface pro will be very sweet
here is one for 1500 dollars: I7 quad core  Dual core ,16GB ram , nvidia 940 (i think) 512GB of ssd storage. and you can traw on it
