It's unbelievably slow, heavy, feature lacking. Useless web ui "whatsapp web" that takes ages to load and still requires you to have whatsapp open on your phone in order for it to work.
You can't refuse to join groups: you're forcefully added and multimedia shit downloaded to your phone without your permission.
Whatsapp also works very hard against "modders" and COMPLETELY REFUSES to let you run multiple phone numbers on a single phone: one person-one phone. Company number AND personal number? Fuck you. Dual sim phone? Fuck you very much. It's like facebook: ONE PERSON, ONE PROFILE. Multiple profiles? HACKER!!!!!! DELINQUENT!!!!
Telegram is far lighter, runs on a lot of platforms and overall feels a lot more well built than this shit. Lose your phone? no problem, telegram is still open on your tablet, computer, or whatever device you want it to run on.
I've seen a lot of brits whine for that. I guess they've never seen TV outside UK. I'd gladly pay that money. BBC content is just fantastic, way superior to the ad-supported bullshit you get everywhere else.
Many common (scsi) cards in Solaris had 32 bit support and never got 64 bit support.
Yes. Adaptec AHA-2940. Holy shit. That was like THE most common SCSI card.
Also the error was cryptic, and the installer (being 32 bit at the time - 2006 IIRC) let you install it but it wouldn't boot after install - there was no 64-bit driver for the card.
Yes. I am from Argentina, which, as many of you know, is a really shitty country right now. But, a few years ago, we rejected (along with most of South America) the ALCA/FTAA. The problem with this agreement is that it's full of technicalities that benefit no one but the US. Americans learned a lot from NAFTA (with Mexico taking a hit in US manufacturing), so they added quite a few provisions to make the FTA one-sided.
You see, as it is, the US pushes for elimination of trade barriers, or, basically, customs regulations (since they are the simplest and most effective ways of protecting a country's own manufacturing). But the agreements say nothing about INTERNAL REGULATIONS: for example, food standards. One of Argentina's main exports used to be beef. But for many years we've been banned from selling in the US market due to "concerns" about foot-and-mouth disease: It takes only 1 confirmed case of this disease for the USDA to impose a 3-year ban on beef. Or, in other words, it takes only 1 CIA operative to infect a cow in Argentina to ban all beef, at once (Argentina's surface is "only" about 1/3 of the size of the US, so you understand that a country-wide ban for a single case is just plain stupid).
Another problem is that the US HEAVILY subsidizes certain products, enabling two things: on one hand, unfair "competition" since Argentina is completely unable to sell, for example, corn due to the extremely high subsidies. On the other hand, it enables dumping: the US can flood Argentina's market with extremely cheap corn, destroying the corn "industry" here.
This is the problem with "free trade" agreements proposed by the US. They follow the same doctrine as US foreign policy, and only benefit the US and their blood brothers (UK, Australia, Canada and NZ).
Unfortunately, the US has never seen Latin America as an ally (the explanation being really simple: pure racism, still deep in US roots - see who their "partners" are and what color their skin is), and they have historically manipulated Latin America's economies and governments, generating hate and division between neighbors. They decided to make deals with a single country and allow them to become an enemy superpower and creditor, instead of dealing with many smaller states and yet retain cheap labor but with the added benefits of: easier language, smaller distance, not so different culture, and basically the same timezone.
Unfortunately the US will never accept these conditions.
i suggest you start reading on ipv6. it's really not that hard. you're making it overly complicated and assuming things simply because YOU DONT KNOW STUFF.
just start reading on networking: ipv4 and ipv6, both.
fe80 is called a link-local address. it's a complicated concept. it's not the same as an autoconfigured (SLAAC) address which is global and can be created by EUI-64 (based on your MAC) or a temporary IPv6 addres, which is also autoconfigured by SLAAC but it's temporary (lasts for 1 hour or so) and it's used to keep your privacy on the internet. it's a completely random IP.
and you can get a tunnel working NOW with www.tunnelbroker.net for FREE. this has been available since AT LEAST 2002 when i first tried it.
Also you "didn't need" a IPv4 dns because you have like 5 devices in your network. But i know idiots like you, idiot's who don't believe in DHCP or DNS, and who just static address everything.
And then wifi comes along, with DHCP almost mandatory for mobile devices, and struggle to figure out how the hell they're going to handle the mess of fragmented IPv4 addresses they have in hand right now.
Multicast DNS you fucking cunt. And if your router doesn't support IPv6 you're an idiot. Upgrade it to DD-WRT or get a new one. You're a dense motherfucker, you don't know shit around networking, and you're trying to lecture everyone about problems that HAVE BEEN SOLVED FOR AGES.
you really think we will "soon" run out of 2^64 networks? that's 4 billion times the NUMBER OF AVAILABLE IPs nowadays. it means if the planet has 8 billion people, each PERSON can have TWO BILLION/64s each/64 hosting 4 billion times 4 billion CURRENT INTERNETS...
You use a DNS server. No one calls it a BIND server. No, you don't need a "bind" server on each machine (good lord, it proves you know nothing about networks) IPV6 stateless basically picks a COMPLETELY RANDOM address for your PC. and yes, all devices can and do work like that.
You CAN subnet a/64 but it won't work for SLAAC anymore. You definitely need a/64 for every subnet. BTW, MAC-based addresses have fallen out of fashion (see IPv6 privacy extensions).
truth is... you don't need a board to "get your feet wet".
You only need a simulator. A deep understanding of combinatorial and sequential logic, an idea, and a plan. Simulate, simulate and simulate. After a few hundred cycles of simulation, if you didn't get bored, you can go ahead and get the FPGA and start fiddling with the electrical part.
Thats why the Spartan-3 Starter Kit I bought 10 years ago is in its box.
Gee, one would guess that a person driving a car 8+ hours a day in the city is MORE LIKELY to have an accident than a person driving 1hour a day to/from work in the highway, and because if this he has to PAY MORE.
Just like MOST PEOPLE don't use their internet connection 24/7 so residential connections are often oversubscribed (and cheaper) than dedicated connections.
But this is liber-retard slashdot, anti-tax, anti-regulation, cubicle revolutionaries who expect the "free market" to take care of everything.
The new trend is to BEG you to subscribe to their e-mail newsletter.
Didn't they say e-mail was dead a while ago? That social media and instant messaging killed it? Now suddenly everyone wants me to subscribe to their newsletter?
Does anyone remember the time when software just WORKED? When you didn't have an update of something every single day? What is it with phone users? I know everyone seems to want the latest and greatest. But DOZENS of app updates a week is just boring. And when the phone is updating you can barely use it. I thought the future was going to be full of ads. It seems the future, actually, is just full of updates...

No you dumb fuck.
I didn't say "Open app is better". I said THIS APP IS SHIT AND THIS IS HOW IT COULD BE IMPROVED.
Cunt.

You should have said:
I feel like I should ask what fuck is WTF.

No, you're just an idiot.
Funny thing is that you learned racism from the british. And they think you're inferior too.

The US will build their OWN 5G network. With Blackjack. And hookers.
In fact, forget compatibility.
The US will adopt a closed standard, with royalties, that will work only in the US. That'll keep the eurotrash out.

yeah right, like Multicast IPv4 isn't also "experimental".
you really think we will "soon" run out of 2^64 networks? /64s /64 hosting 4 billion times 4 billion CURRENT INTERNETS...
that's 4 billion times the NUMBER OF AVAILABLE IPs nowadays.
it means if the planet has 8 billion people, each PERSON can have TWO BILLION
each

IPV6 stateless basically picks a COMPLETELY RANDOM address for your PC.
and yes, all devices can and do work like that.
Or, you know, technology upgrades. My ISP finally switched from ADSL to VDSL and they have to replace all CPEs (about two million of them) anyway.
You CAN subnet a /64 but it won't work for SLAAC anymore. You definitely need a /64 for every subnet.
BTW, MAC-based addresses have fallen out of fashion (see IPv6 privacy extensions).

are you really underestimating the power of things like reCAPTCHA for stuff like this?
They're stuck in 2000 thinking JavaScript is evil.

Not only america. America is also pushing the TPP which wants to bring the copyright bullshit into poor countries as well. For nothing in return.
