Install F-Droid then install AdAway from it. Or just install AdAway from the apk. AdAway requires root because it uses the hosts file to block ads. Works good although it will block almost all ad referral links which can be annoying if you actually want to go to an ad-sponsored link.
What waste? Modern processors have AES in hardware. Except for the initial TLS negotiation (and even that is hardware accelerated on most systems) it costs almost nothing to use encryption.
For as long as we're running Von Neumann architecture machines then C and C++ will continue to dominate anything and everything that needs to be high performance and/or low-level/hardware access.
Because if you don't need C/C++ then you're scripting or whatever much-higher-level language stuff. Languages like Go and Rust fit somewhere in between... no-man's land, where they're doomed to get lost like every single previous attempt at such languages.
Nuclear power is definitely the answer to our current power problems. Fusion is hopefully eventually the answer but regular old fission is orders of magnitude more safe and more efficient than anything else we have. A "person" is smart, "people" are just absolutely dumbfuckery stupid.
I see patterns that other people don't. I notice things other people don't. I care about things normal people don't. I keep insane amounts of information on designs in my head.
What does this give me? An absolutely crazy detailed view of the world that normal people can't see or even process. I write software no one else can. I write software that is more stable and secure than anyone else can produce, ever. In fact, you're probably using software I wrote right now. It's so good that nobody even notices it exists because it doesn't break and nobody has ever needed to debug it. Yes, I'm that good and yes, I got paid very little for things that millions or even billions of people use every day and nobody knows who I am.
What is the trade-off? Well, every day life gives me anxiety you can't imagine. I hear, see, taste, feel, everything in the world with very high intensity while you are able to ignore it. I can't ignore it. I see patterns in everything and I need absolute perfection and control with my own designs. I suffer tremendously just to exist. I'm not joking when I say I would give up all my special abilities just to be normal. Just living is torture even though I do "amazing" things (to normal people).
I'm not the typical geek that has issues. I have issues way beyond these people. Yes, I have tried to get professional help but I'm not like anything anyone has seen before so they're not quite sure what to do.
You will all benefit from my abilities even though other people will take credit. I'm OK with that. I just want to be normal and not suffer.
Just give us a browser that doesn't spy on us and is stable. This was the Firefox mantra 14 years ago and before that they cared about user control.
What the actual fuck has happened to software?! These last few decades have shown that they don't care about performance, privacy, or anything but the bottom line for their own profits. Fuck that! And fuck you too!
The best UI ever designed for 3D modelling was Mirai. They also made a junior version called Nendo. There is an open-source clone http://www.wings3d.com/ which is sort of a combination of the ideas in Mirai and Nendo.
It's too bad AFAIK there isn't a NURBS/CAD modeller that has such a good UI design.
People get all crazy with transformers and mixing sections of feed line but it can be done much simpler.
For matching 50ohm stuff (eg. radio and antenna) to 75ohm coax you just need to make sure the length of the coax is a multiple of a half wavelength at the frequency you're using. Done.
I wouldn't remove it but decades ago when the cable guys were hooking up my house they gave me all the extra RG59 they had. It's really high spec stuff, low loss and designed for being outside in the weather.
I use it to connect to my amateur radio antennas. Yes, it's 75 ohm where all my radio stuff is 50 ohm. However, if cut to the proper length it will act like a 50 ohm cable at the frequencies the antenna is for.
Tesla is a fad like iPod's were a fad. Soon it will be normal.
This is not in any way an endorsement of Tesla. Frankly, this stunt says to me that Musk is a whiny little bitch. Criticism is necessary for product improvement, no matter how stupid it is. If you smack the ban-hammer on any slight then that's just a sign of weakness and vulnerability... and it's unlikely you will get useful feedback in the future.
Same here but Thunderbird is very far out of date as far as development goes. For example, if I reboot my imap server Thunderbird totally loses sync and in fact will not do any updates until I close/reload it. Seriously, the network stack in Thunderbird is totally fucked up.
I continue to use Thunderbird because it is one of the few email clients that support S/MIME... a standard that has been in place for decades yet most email clients can't handle.
Sorry but I'm not putting any "nano" crystal type anything in my mouth. Coal dust, carbon fiber, fiberglass, silica, asbestos... Hello? Have we learned nothing?
I very often am one of the first to bash logos but the Perl logo is not that bad. Maybe not the greatest ever but acceptable. In fact it's way better than the Linux penguin and I say this as a Linux fan since the pre-0.9 days.
I use Perl (5) when I need high speed text/regex/string-hashing processing. It's still the the best to whip up something quick especially when processing text. For anything else I use Lua, C/C++, or if I have to, Python (blech).
Yeah right. Contact us in 10 years and tell us how your grandkids are doing. If not that, then how much prison time she has left.
(for anyone less experienced: the difference between a prepubescent drone and a post-pubescent walking-hormone is quite stark)... biology is an impossible, unpredictable, power. The fact that you think you know better tells of her future.
Sorry but there is probably no way to for you to understand this until you experience it. Good luck, padawan.
Yes, the laminator melts the toner and makes it stick to the board. For a while I would just iron it on but that can be very tricky to do (hand pressure, etc).
I use a LaserJet 1200 which prints very nice thick toner traces.
My laminator is just a cheap one from walmart that I modified to run at a higher temperature. Even at the higher temperature I have to run the board through it 5 or 6 times (at different angles) to make sure all the toner gets stuck to the board. Pre-heating the board would probably make it require less passes but it works well enough without that. Higher-end laminators work better but of course cost a lot.
For printing I use glossy magazine paper (just pages torn out of old magazines) because it's very thin and falls apart/dissolves easily in soapy water leaving just the toner on the board. Some printers will jam when printing on this stuff but the LJ1200 works no problem.
I use a laser printer, print on glossy magazine paper, put the paper toner-side-down on the PCB, run it through a high temp laminator, peal off the paper in soapy water, then etch. Takes almost no time and I can get very near professional results. I can do extremely tight small traces no problem.
I have never tried a double-sided board but I bet I could do it by simply printing the circuit such that the paper could be folded over the PCB then the laminator would stick both sides. Probably be difficult to do but not impossible.
I haven't had a car in over 20 years. I will be happy when everyone has an autonomous car because hopefully then there will be a competent driver behind the wheel that doesn't try to kill me on my motorcycle.
The spyware known as Chrome/Chromium? Internet Explorer? The unstable Opera? What is it, man? Please tell us what your awesome browser is so we can join you because frankly I'm out of ideas.
My yard has 6 other yards along the borders. Am I not allowed to fly my "drone"* in my own yard? Because it's certainly visible below the tree line by lots of people in the area. Legally I'm allowed up to 100 feet (due to proximity to airports) in my own yard. If I'm just out sport flying in the back yard and someone shot my "drone" down I would be fucking pissed. Not only for damage but danger to myself and family.
If I where hovering at say 50 feet over my yard it would be easy to mistake it as a drone with a camera "spying" or something that someone might want to take a shot at because they can't tell who is flying it or exactly over what land. Despite me being 100% legal and not even capable of spying on anything.
(*) It's just a regular acrobatic/sport multirotor, doesn't even have a camera on it
Death by airplane is "someone else's" fault. Death in a car is my fault. Even if someone else was negligent, it's still my responsibility to compensate for their idiocy. This is the Merican way. Personal freedom, choice, control, and consequences. I deal with this every day as a motorcycle rider (the ultimate in personal control and consequences).
The simple fact is, on a commercial air-flight you have absolutely no control whatsoever over your death. As a driver of a car, you do, even if it's someone else's fault. In other words, flying on a commercial airplane requires no skill, driving a vehicle does.
10-15 minutes is no where near enough for most people with darker skin (ie. most of the world's population). I mean, fuck, I'm only olive skinned and I need at least 30 minutes to an hour at the most "dangerous" UV exposure at the highest levels to even begin to get the benefits. I don't start to get red skin until an hour or two and that's with no previous exposure (ie. coming out of winter). In the summer I can withstand 4 to 6 hours without my skin becoming red and 8 to 10 hours before I start to "burn". Darker complications have even longer times.
I assume by the moderation that most of slashdot is made up of minority pasty white cave-dweller homebodies with brain-damage caused by vitamin D and/or B12 deficiency. You are the abnormal outliers.
Thank you very much, dorks. There is a reason you're the outliers of the human race; please don't lock me in a cell and drain my superior blood for your nefarious purposes due to your weak genes, assholes.

if you had a lower UID I would understand... but lets face it, you are a newb that knows nothing!!! Nothing!!!! UID is life!
If this is true then it would make sense for Google maps and the others to offer routing options that also eliminate left turns.
I wonder what happens to traffic if everyone on the road eliminates left turns.
