I was talking about preventing crime by helping make society better. When large swaths of population with high crime risk aren't helped integrate or better themselves, it's only expected for them to turn to crime.
"It remains a priority for the government to ensure that law enforcement can obtain crucial digital information to protect national security and public safety, either with cooperation from relevant parties, or through the court system when cooperation fails,"
How do they define "crucial"? I mean, you don't know if there's any relevant information on that phone, so how can one define such unknown information as "crucial"? Also, protecting "national security and public safety" should be a proactive act. Scouring through their phones AFTER the motherfuckers did their act is anything but proactive.
Can a Raspberry Pi handle downloads or uploads at Gigabit-level speed? I ditched my Thecus N2310 with Transmission for this exact reason: the downloads were capped at 13-14 MB/s and after 15-20 minutes of sustained transfers, the NAS would go tits-up: not responding to ping, inaccessible through any means, however LEDs on it would still show it as running.
I haven't used uTorrent in a long time. Currently using qbittorrent which is working really well. My opinion is that Transmission, however good, came to Windows way too late.
uTorrent also has a web interface. So does qbittorrent. I'm trying to find ONE reason to use Transmission instead of any other torrent client currently available for Windows... can't find any.
I took under 1000 pictures with my phone during the last 2.5 years. About half of those are in the category of "take a burst of 10 pictures so that I would later pick the best one". Most of the features you listed are truly unneeded at least as far as I'm concerned: - 64 GB memory? I have 8 and use 5 currently (just checked). - Qi Wireless charging... what? I stick the cable in and it charges. Done deal. - Fingerprint scanner? What for? Unlocking phone? Um, no need for that. - NFC for payments? I don't intend to pay for anything using my phone. Ever. - 5.5-6 inch screen is a bit on the largish size. 5 inch are enough for me. I see no usefulness for owning a phablet. - 2+ days battery life? More battery life is always good, of course, but with the rise of the power packs it's no longer an issue. I own a battery pack which stores enough juice to charge my phone 4 times from 5% to 100%, and I got that for free: it was offered as a bonus when I upgraded my PC PSU to a beefier one during an upgrade. - Unmolested Android OS? Yes please. That's the only thing I really would need.
I'm sure it would. I use a Samsung Galaxy 4 Mini, company provided, a bit over 2 years since I got it, my mobile phone usage hasn't change a bit. Its screen size is enough, it can run the apps I use just fine, why change it? At most I'd change the battery when its life shrinks to less than 12h.
While I never owned an Apple device (of any type), I had plenty opportunities to try some out. They certainly cover my requirements but lack the freedom I enjoy in my phone. I can drag-and-drop music from my PC to my phone without having to install any software on my PC; the bluetooth stack works flawlessly and with more devices than Apple's. On top of that, I can get a phone that covers my needs much cheaper than anything Apple provides.
Lastly, I can use an Android device without having to create/have an account on it. With Apple's, not so much.
Home use, sure. However, I said "in the world" which includes all routing, data centers, etc. In a data center I would venture to say that RJ45:USB ratio is around 100:1, maybe higher.
Namely, existing infrastructure. With CAT5 and CAT6 cables everywhere, you will need some little box to convert the existing cable into a slimmer one which in turn would end with a slimmer connector. There are far, far more RJ45 connectors in the world than USB, for example.
To me, a vastly inferior experience would be to watch a forced 3D movie with cheap glasses and 2D subtitles. Been there, done that. Not to mention that spectators around you is really a lottery. You can end up with a really nice audience or a bunch of noisy teens or retards of all ages. On top of that, at home I can watch the movie in my underwear, pause it, vape and scratch my balls (really important!) while not giving a shit.
It's amazing how many people here on/. are alone. Say a movie comes out and I pay 50 bucks to watch it day-one. I'll be joined by wife, brother-in-law, sister, mother-in-law and (if the movie allows it) my kids. Now divide that 50 bucks to 5 and the price is 10 bucks a person. If it's a kids movie and you divide 50 bucks by 7, it's cheaper (7 bucks per viewer). No cinema would beat this.

De-radicalization through integration has been very successful in Europe.

Thank you, confirms my suspicions.

Um... cool story but I was talking Transmission for WINDOWS versus other, already existing WINDOWS clients.
So... that was like... accidental truth? :)

What do you mean? Use your other phone. Everybody knows hipsters own at least two phones!
(that as meant to be a joke, if you feel offended take a humor pill)
It still works very well in small communities.
I guess it's going to be back to Barter World...
See, life always finds a way :)
I meant hacking! HACKING!
Niet, tavarisci.

The answer stays: NO.

The GP asked about other GAMING genres, I answered his question.
Reading comprehension much?
He is, if you read the post without skimming through it.
The box is too much for non-graphics-intensive game genres and too little for graphics-intensive game genres.
That narrows its niche down to zilch.
