  1. android sucks on Bill Gates Has An Android Phone. Has Microsoft Changed? (neowin.net) · · Score: 1

    I can't get over the performance problems. Take a look at Super Mario Run for example, it runs so much smoother and faster on iOS. The Android version on a T-Mobile Galaxy S7 Edge which is more powerful hardware wise than iPhone, lags, hangs, slows, skips frames, and runs at a lower frame rate than the iPhone version. just clicking the game icon and it takes many more extra seconds to load, and transition from screen to screen.

    it's something i'm getting tired of. every new android phone and version is the exact same piece of lard. it's slow, lags, stutters, loads apps slowly, transitions from screen to screen with huge latency.

    but iOS is only superior in terms of performance, Apple forces developers to censor apps, such as requiring web browsers to only load pages on the web version of the site, unable to switch to a desktop user-agent. Furthermore other advanced features and hacks are not allowed to be included in iOS addition software, that are legal in Android software. additionally I like to record calls: Android and Windows 10 include built in phone recording features, Android just requires an app download to tap into the features most vendors add into the core OS. Windows 10 has it built right into the control panel now. iOS does not permit phone recording at all, except by hacks such as three way calling into a recording service. Android/Windows actually intercept the GSM stream and save it to amr, wav, flac, mp3, mp4, opus, right on the phone storage device.

  2. if you track Moore's Law, it hasn't been followed in ages. performance of chips used to double about every year. the "GHz" doubled, or equivalent suchs as instructions per second, transistor count, fill rate, bandwidth, core count, etc.

    This stopped along time ago. Around the year 2005, the first quad core process landed- transistor counts hit 1 billion. Then they sat at quad core and 1 billion transistors for ages, barely adjusting clock rates, making small under the hood tweaks that amounted to marginal performance boosts each year. After 10 years of quad core, and 1 billion transistor counts, the first 6-core hit the market, just a couple of years ago. But in reality, by 2006-2007, we should have had 8 core chips. And by 2008 we should have had 16 core chips. And by 2010 32 core chips, and so on. By 2011 64 chips. By 2013 we should have had 256 core chips. By 2016 we should have hit 1024 core chips. This is because technology at least doubles in capacity every 18 months or less. There's a hint here: someone, something, hindered the market, and stopped competing.

    Intel's first extreme edition processor was $1000 10 years ago or so. Now they have coffered up their first real performance chip upgrade in ages, they expect double that price. And trust me: $1000 was seen as unobtainable in price once. It's a monster of a price. $2000 certainly is double that. My argue is, since Moore's Law was abandoned years ago, and each new generation of chip barely improves upon the old, this new $2000 chip should really be $1000 at best. It's bringing the performance we should have been at 10 years ago to the table today basically, and thus is a rip off and outdated even before it hit the market.

    My understanding is capitalism is at work here. They're not competing or bringing new technology to the market, except for military applications.

    but not with the current legal system. the main problem is unlike Europe, there is no article 47 here granting a right to civil counsel. Instead, you are pro se, and might have no resources to prepare a case to defend your FOIA. This is the tactic the government is relying on to win. They know you cannot afford to bring a case in court, so you have a great risk to the judge siding with the government.

    I have repaired Samsung android and LG android phones. I have studied the guides. I have replaced screens.
    I have also repaired by myself dell studio XPS and alienware laptops from replacement of the CPU, GPU, heatsink fan, and mobo, and more.

    basically every device I've seen is self repairable, designed to open up like nothing, and each component is generally separate easy to remove and replace. this includes the screen, mobo, camera lense, camera itself, cases, bezel, glass on the screen, etc.

    one can actually remove just the glass from the screen of most devices easy, and replace it when shattered, re-using the LCD/touch sensor.

    on eBay or other site, one can order brand new or refurb every component of every phone.

    basically you choose your difficulty level. either you want to replace a shattered screen entirely by ordering a whole new LCD/screen kit, or you attempt to remove the old glass and re-glue on new glass to save some bucks. or you order a new mobo/CPU combo. you just drop in the component removing the old. you re-assemble the phone and you're good. if you break anything during the process you just order a new one of those too.

    Apple claims this is somehow too difficult for individual people to do..? why is that? what's it to Apple if you fuck up your phone or something or do low quality repair? the phone is already damaged and used up anyway!

    it's so easy a cave man can do it.

    brains are very close when it comes to most types of work. not related to work that can be performed, men do have a slight edge due to slightly larger brain. this has actually caused problems to reinforce their false beliefs of superiority, as has their economic status which is what men really use to stay ahead. the thing is engineers are not doing that advanced of work anyway, it might make absolutely no difference because they are all working on kid stuff. it's kid stuff we don't even need done on earth. we could kill off all engineering jobs and the world would keep living.

    what was wrong is the arguments made by this male engineer forgot the political and economic issues holding women back. they are poorer, have less property and money, and going back in history men mostly white originally crafted the laws to own women and black slaves. women did not own property, the males did. the title deeds all read white male ownership. it was not until later black slaves were freed but were still slaves in the sense they had to work under rich white men in a system of capitalism. women eventually got the right to work, and vote, and even obtain college education but they suffered the same issues. they still had less money and property, and the white rich leadership favored keeping the money in house. what this means is women cannot get elected easily to top positions in government (you have to be a millionaire+ female to get elected), women do not get raises as much, women are forced into different types of jobs where money is offered such as modeling and sex work (partly by choice), etc. the framework for this is installed into laws. laws are very permissive of this keeping the power in the hands of rich people, mostly men who inherited their wealth unfairly from mistakes designed into the first governments.

    the drugs were designed/intended to aid in interrogation, mind control, and even turning people schizophrenic for the purpose of discrediting, etc.

    the combo of Ken Kesey, who's from Eugene/Springfield OR like me, and I know many of his friends personally, and the CIAs testing at other universities literally led to the hippie movement and age of Aquarius. no joke.

    the reason is search engines didn't really exist yet. the year 1995 is when the first engines launched, and they were not very complete. My understanding is Yahoo! search launched in March 1995.

    basically everyone at the time was basically designing the internet still. they were just learning the internet, and search engines were not yet the "go to" that everyone knew. of course books were wrote, because things like search engines were not common place.

    a lot of the internet was laid out like the story tells. lots of thinks on telnet, gopher, ftp, and the like, and not web pages like HTTP. there were tons of HTTP, fan pages of celebrity pics were popular.. tons of fan site/individual set up sites were what was hot. many popular sites that would later grow into large mega sites, started off as fan sites, made by regular people. some were sites started by large corporations.

    search engines back then sucked so bad you could not even find stuff. when google launched in 2000 it was better, people switched to it pretty fast, seemingly because it provided better results.
