What are you talking about? They specifically allow boot loader replacement. Custom ROMs are part of Samsung's strategy.
Samsung has been locking bootloaders lately. One of the more annoying tactics is to release a new device with an open bootloader, then lock it for subsequent production runs / the first minor revision under the same SKU. This means if you buy your device months after it's out, you've got a chance of getting a locked bootloader. Same goes for if you have to get your device repaired or replaced under warranty. Happened to my friend's S5. Now he's done with Samsung, and I don't blame him. My guess is that once enough of the carriers demand locked bootloaders, they just lock it for all subsequent production runs.
Then you're stuck hunting for an older version, hoping that you can get the radios to work on your carrier, muddling through setting up APNs and changing baked-in shit - from carrier boot up animations to voice mail numbers, etc. And then you'll never receive an OTA update from your carrier, so you'll be stuck on Android X.Y.Z when everyone else is on X.W.U , leaving you with missing features and glaring security holes until someone hacks the bootloader, dumps a legit updated ROM, illegally disseminates it over the internet, and provides you with instructions on how to get all the various pieces to get yourself a working, updated phone.
I'm truly sick of Android, but there's no other viable option.
He was likely referring to this: bloomberg.com/news/2014-06-13/priceline-to-buy-opentable-in-deal-valued-at-2-6-billion.html tech.slashdot.org/story/14/06/13/1445252/priceline-to-buy-opentable-for-26-billion
Both violate accessibility/usability rules ("rules") for URLs (sorry, "URIs").
You use profanity to refer to audiophiles and you clearly have no idea what you're talking about. 96 or 192kHZ sampling rate doesn't have much to do with frequency response , which is what we are takling about.
Of course I use profanity. Audiophiles are fucking morons. They're dumber than people who wage political campaigns against vaccines. People who are afraid of vaccines at least have minor blips of correlation to base their fears off of, while the science simply shows no connection. Audiophiles have hard science and experimental data that actually proves they're wrong.
I'm not talking about frequency response, I'm talking about sample rate because the person I was replying to was talking about sample rate in relation to FLAC, MP3, etc., and the discussion thread is about limiting the sample rate of the sound card. Please read before you post.
Most music these days is not produced via an analog signal to a microphone. Rather, a digital process creates an analog waveform in software like Ableton Live, Cubase, etc. If an overtone or other sonic artifacts are applied, you can definitely hear the effects on the music even though these are at high frequencies..
You're wrong about music production as well. People play instruments and they're recorded. There's a lot of digital manipulation, and lots of canned or digitally-generated samples are used, with some bands/artists using more than others, but the vast majority is still sourced from people playing instruments and singing into microphones. Regardless, none of this has anything to do with music - it simply has to do with sound and the reproduction thereof. You CANNOT hear any frequencies higher than 20 kHz. If there is a 99 kHz tone in the room interfering with things, you hear the interference pattern's effects in the human-audible range. You do not heat the 99 kHz tone. Everything you hear is within the human-audible range, and double that is enough to transparently reproduce any sound a human could ever hear.
Speakers are graded for quality using the "Klippel" test, which measures amount of distortion and how clean the signal comes out at various frequencies. With good speakers, you should be able to have a conversation right in front of them at loud volume, and not have to speak loudly or bring up your voice to clearly understand the person. That is because the audio waveform will be clean and not distort other frequencies.
Now this is just complete bullshit. If you can hear the speaker it is producing a pressure wave. If one speaker is a box and one speaker is a human they're still both producing pressure waves. When two pressure wavefronts collide, such as at your ear when you're hearing them, they interfere. A speaker's quality is measured by its ability to reproduce the input signal. For all speakers humans listen to, the highest frequency that matters in 20 kHz. You cannot hear anything higher than that. You are not special. Any audible interference from higher frequency sources is already baked into the signal, and a doubled sampling rate covers any aliasing. A speaker's quality has nothing to do with your ability to engage in conversation in front of the speaker. If I output the inverse of what you're saying people wouldn't be able to hear you, by design. If I output exactly what you were saying people would be able to hear you more loudly. If I output X people's ability to hear you depends entirely on the interference between X and what you're saying and their own brain being able to concentrate and fill in gaps. The speaker's quality has to do with how well X matches the input. There is no connection between your conversation and the speaker's quality.
You can't hear a difference. You can't hear 24 kHz, let alone 48 kHz. Human hearing stops at around 20 kHz. Twice that is 40 kHz, so both 44.1 and 48 kHz are sufficient to cover everything audible completely transparently.
You're a moron for saying "only one octave higher" when the definition of an octave is the doubling (or halving) of frequency between two tones. 800 Hz is only one octave higher than 400 Hz. 800 GHz is "only" one octave higher than 400 GHz.
Audio engineers don't need it because none of that "lost signal" ever influences the human-audible range of the end result. Everything potentially influencing human-audible range is baked into the 44.1 or 48 kHz sample and will be reproduced transparently to humans since we're capped at less than half that.
Your objections here only display your ignorance, not your wisdom.
BTW, you've met at least one now.
I will take the 5 million number at face value. I laugh at the idea that nearly all of those people access classified computer systems. And the idea that they're all air gapped? That's just complete bullshit, as recent history has shown.
I type 80wpm. 5 characters per word. 400 chars per minute, or 6.7 chars per second, or about 53 bits per second.
Therefore I type almost three times faster than this channel's data rate.
Log keystrokes. Optionally, filter (look for the @ symbol for email addresses, a known bank in a browser window's title, symbols / cAPs near eachother for passwords, whatever). Compress. Send.
Unless you type > 20 bps after compression (and filtering), the entire time your computer is on, it will keep up. Even if you do outpace it by a factor of infinity, it will still be transmitting at 20 bps, so it'll still be getting your shit. As hits something interesting (login credentials, your Harry Potter fanfic, whatever) you're fucked, regardless of how far ahead you are.
I was under the impression that while humans mostly cannot hear ultrasonic sounds, the existence of them can be perceived as a kind of "texture" to other sounds that we can hear. Removing these frequencies all together from all sounds sources can make stuff sounds more artificial.
Nope, it's 100% bullshit. Audiophiles cling to it as justification for spending money on 96 or 192 kHz shit. When recording a physical sound, the sum total of all frequency components interfering with each other will be recorded by the microphone. A microphone does not record individual frequency components, it records a physical pressure wave. Your ear picks up the effects of frequency components outside of its range interfering with frequency components inside its range. A microphone does the exact same thing.
Gay men, as a group, have the highest rate of HIV infection by far. Screening isn't perfect.
It makes far more sense to prevent high risk blood from ever getting into the system than it does to draw it, store it, and try to detect it, and dispose of it it's bad. If someone's feelings get hurt, too fucking bad. I'd rather not die from tainted blood like my friend's mother did.
Or maybe we're just the only ones here. Or maybe aliens have their own shit to worry about. Or maybe they're already among us. Or maybe nerds should stop wasting their time wanking off about shit for which their is zero evidence - for, or against - and trying to derive concrete meaning from it.
I fully expect and eagerly anticipate the day we make first contact (hopefully without subsequently getting blown to shit, enslaved, whatever). But I'm also sensible enough to realize that no amount of masturbatory theory, such as this shitty link to an absolutely retarded article about climate change and aliens, means anything.
More like exploited. Failure to escape content, which you should have been doing for the last 15 years, is hardly hacking.
More like failure to be a decent website. Fuck all cross-domain scripting, cookies, etc. Block that shit and enjoy a cleaner, faster, safer, slightly more private internet. You have to load ads from another domain? Fuck you. You want me to load up shit from googleapis.com? No thanks.
Quotation marks enclose a quotation. A quotation is a reference to something that was or is to be said, written, etc. Punctuation should absolutely not be inside a quotation unless it was part of the original quotation. You do not alter the original quotation. That includes: 1: Adding "(sic)" to indicate that errors are from the original quotation. 2: Using brackets to substitute nouns, conjugate verbs differently, etc. to fit inside your clumsy sentence structure. 3: Adding ellipses to join two disconnected pieces of a statement into a single quotation. 4: Switching between a double quote symbol and a single quote symbol when the quotation includes quotation marks - this doesn't remove ambiguity as a quotation can contain both symbols. If the thing you're quoting is too clumsy to unambiguously fit inside quotation marks, use a block quote.
The Chicago, MLA, APA, etc. style guides are crap. They're arbitrary, inconsistent, ambiguous rules that cause more problems than they solve. Ignore them. The language already has a grammar. Teach it and use it.
At this point I may just buy the games wherever, then try PPSSPP or whatever that emulator is called. I'm too busy with Mario Kart 8 at the moment, though.
This person is likely in their 20s, I am assuming early 20s. With that said, I am in my 30s, somewhat early. My first PC was an 8088 and I've deep dived into every modern processor since then. Even with the debacle that was Windows 7 and 8, I am still going to stand behind x86 as a great architecture that can stand the sands of time.
I doubt your age and I doubt your "deep diving" into "every modern processor". What does Windows 7 or 8 have to do with x86 as an architecture? In what way was Window 7 a debacle? How is Windows 8 a debacle? The overblown bullshit about MS locking it down? The raving lunacy about the new Start menu? Seems to me the media has the problem, not the OS.
Scalability: What other architecture has scaled so far that it was completely decimated two competing architectures from the past and the future at the same time. The original 8088/86 was 3mhz, the latest x86 offering is 4ghz.
Decimate means to reduce by a factor of one tenth. WTF does the clock speed increase over decades have to do with anything?
Popularity: Both Apple and Sun saw the writing on the wall, Sun saw it too late, Apple saw it early (or saw what happened to Sun). They both shifted from a proprietary processor and chipset to a more common and popular platform. Both platforms had specific benefits over x86 until x86 scaled far and beyond what they both offered.
x86 is hardly any less proprietary than PowerPC or SPARC. You've got Intel and AMD at the helm. VIA walked the plank ages ago. Apple ditched PowerPC because Apple's market share was so fucking low that the only company compiling for PowerPC was Adobe. The decision to drop PowerPC had to do with market share and cost, not the architecture itself.
Backwards Compatibilty: I know my x86 processor is still going start in 8-bit mode and I know that I can put it in 16bit mode and run my 1992 applications. But to that extent, x86-64 just extends the instruction set. eg ARM32 does not play on ARM64.
x86 CPUs don't start in an 8-bit mode. They start in Real Mode. x86 CPUs are 16, 32, and 64 bits, not 8 bits. The 8088 simply has an 8-bit data bus. Registers are 16-bit.
Let's face it. I witnessed Y2K. I witnessed every weak architecture under the sun get wiped out because it had shortcomings. Intel designed the best architecture with x86 and naysayers generally harp because it's "too big". I, for one, plan to teach my children x86 ASM so they understand the basics.. then let them find MIPS or ARM or whatever-fad-arch-is-current so they too can appreciate the design of x86.
"The part number didn't change so we couldn't figure out what the issue was." Horse fucking shit.
1: Get a 2006 model. 2: Get a 2007 model. 3: LOOK AT THEM.
Beyond that, for every single fucking part on your assembly line, you're either making it your fucking self or ordering it from someone else. Look at how you're building the new fucking part or look at what shows up on the fucking invoice from the company you ordered it from.
All it takes is for someone to get off their fucking ass and actually go look at shit. Toyota's acting like they'd be unable to tell the difference between their two dogs if someone had swapped their collars.
stockholders need to be fully liable based on the percentage of ownership in the company
The top goons don't hold stock. They hold options, often illegal options, to buy stock at ridiculously low prices. Need a new yacht? Buy stock for pennies on the dollar, immediately dump the stock. They don't even have to buy the stock - they can just trade the options.
And according to the article, none of those "senior leaders and executives" were anywhere near the top. Senior Product Engineer and Executive Director of Engineer Slave Pit are not at the top. The CEO and anyone within a Bacon Number of 3 of the CEO were held blameless.
Faulty firmware? Are you referring to the brake debacle a few years ago?
I think it's been pretty well established by know that it was all media attention driving that and Toyota really didn't have anything wrong with its vehicles.
First they blamed the drivers. Then they blamed the floor mats. Then they blamed the drivers again and cried about the mean ol' US media ganging up on a foreign company. Then they blamed the brake pedals and offered to "fix it" by installing worse parts. Then it was revealed that it was a bug they knew about for ages.
