  1. Re:My pet peeve on List of Major Linux Desktop Problems Updated For 2016 (narod.ru) · · Score: 1

    install a retail copy of windows instead of manufacturer supplied OEM one and your hardware will work even less.

    This has become less accurate after 7. Now a new copy of Win 10 will automatically download and install all drivers/apps needed for all the buttons and sliders your specific model has. Lenovo will probably install a fucking rootkit automatically, too.

    The worst key omission on Apple laptops is the delete key. I'm not talking about the backspace key marked "delete". I want a real delete key I can delete stuff with.

  3. Re:Is there such a thing? on Microsoft Fails Windows Phone Fans Again By Delaying Windows 10 Mobile (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    Except Android is laggy as hell. To have a stutter-free experience on android, the phone needs to have 4GB of RAM, a burning hot octa core CPU assisted by a GPU that can shame the original XBOX. It's ridiculous. Meanwhile Windows phone chugs along smoothly on a phone with 1GB RAM, dual core CPU, etc. and gives better battery life too. Ditto goes for iPhone. So I'm glad Microsoft didn't go the skinned Android route, and decided to develop a real competitor. They have been incredibly sloppy though, and that might be the end of Win Pho. That would be sad.

    This is not correct at all. For example, it's not true with any of Samsung's devices and Samsung is the largest Android manufacturer by far.

    Yes, pretty much everyone not living in abject poverty owns a car in New Delhi. It has double the number of cars than Bangalore, which has double the number of cars that Mumbai has. And Mumbai has a population much greater than both of those. A very high percentage of people in Delhi have cars, many families have multiple. Delhi has the cheapest cars, the least amount of road tax and the cheapest fuel in the country. These factors and the lack of good public transport have put it into the mess it is in today.

    I didn't say download an app. I said if your eyes and brain are not sensitive enough to see the obvious difference in screen quality, then you can look at a black image so that the difference is most pronounced.

  9. Read up. OLED is as color accurate as any LCD.

    The stores don't like when you wipe their phones and install a custom test firmware, and shoot out all the lights in the mall, as your test would require for the parameters I gave.

    Why would you need to do any of that to view an image? Just image search for "AMOLED black" and see. And you can see the difference without turning off all the lights. Although the effect is much more affecting in the dark.

    I guess idiots prefer OLED because it would be better, if anyone ever ran across that one specific test, though nobody has yet.

    I do not understand what's wrong. Do you want to know which is the best display tech right now and why? If yes, I gave you the answers. If not, then why are you reading this?

    Create an image with pixels completely black. All channels zero. View it on screens side-by-side in the dark. Also, the brightness can go up insane high in AMOLED.

    Umm...is there a point in your comment? I'm unable to find any.

  14. Burn-in is gone in the latest screens. Also, dimming is better on OLEDs now, compared to LCD. The Galaxy S is over 5 years old now. OLED tech has come a long way from those days.

  15. You do realize that current OLED phones in the phablet segment have much higher pixel density than "retina"?

    HTC is famous for using shitty OLED screens. Look at a Galaxy phone from the last 3 years, and gaze at the screen in stunned amazement. The brightness range is stupefying, the color reproduction is perfect, the contrast ratio is literally infinite.

    Have a look at the latest OLED screens used in GS6 or Note 5. They beat everything else by such a huge margin that it's not even funny.

  23. The N series phones were too far ahead of their time. I remember my N73 had a physical shutter in the camera. Never seen that trick again.
