@AlgoRythm and @trogus, of course, for making these awesome avatars!

@Gianlu Yes, I am! I was looking for an app to control aria2 on my Pi. Yours (Aria2App) looks and works better than the apps from other developers. Simple, yet informative. It's not often that you find an app that perfectly fits what you're trying to do, thanks!
I also love the "log files" option in the settings menu :) -

Yes, serves you right for using camera on an iPad. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hm. I'd have chosen higher frequency RAM (if your MoBo supports it, which I assume it does). Also, with 7700k, I'd get a bigger cooler if you are planning on overclocking / using CPU a lot.
But that's really a beast of a PC, respect.
Just my 2¢. -
@Xikura TL;DR: No.
"It's just too bad that wouldn't even work. It won't even work with just the flash drive and PS/2 adapter. That adapter doesn't convert the signal, just the wiring. It's a passive adapter, rather than active. This is used specifically for mice and keyboards and other PS/2 compatible input devices. Your USB input device would then detect that it isn't actually using USB and "fall back" to PS/2. A flash drive can't do that because it doesn't the necessary circuitry to use PS/2."

AFAIK Windows BSOD color can be customized in every newer version too, did that once on my Win 7 machine. Apparently the reasoning for implementing this feature is to allow users with visual impairment to set the BSOD to appear in high contrast colors.

Hm. I would not put the blame on the majority of companies. I think that most companies rely on one specific piece of software that was written for a specific operating system - functionality in a different environment is not guaranteed, therefore updating is not worth the risk. Never touch a running system / If it ain't broken, don't fix it.
Of course, this is a bad motto to live by, but modernization is probably very difficult for big companies.
I'd put the blame on the NSA for (obviously) not reporting these vulnerabilities and generally being a dick.
Also, kudos to Microsoft, because even though I don't agree with many things that they do nowadays, they did patch the vulnerability in March and also released security patches for unsupported Windows versions very quickly (which you can't take for granted).
But honestly, I don't know too much about how companies work internally – I'm just an average student so feel free to ignore my comment (seriously) -
...what else can meth stand for?!

I bought an Asus X555UB for about ~600€ for Uni.
Has 6th gen i5, 8GB ram, 128 GB SSD, Nvidia 940m, but only 1366x768 screen (but I use an external monitor) and some motherboard issues with Linux (which I could resolve though).
Recommended if you don't care too much for build quality and just want something that can run your code smoothly.
It also handles some games very well (e.g. csgo, cities skylines, ksp).
Battery holds 4-9h depending on whatever you're doing. -
34% dropped Apple last...
...okay, wow. Far too many Apple sheeple out there. -
Really broken english

I guess something else needs to be replaced...

Reminds me of this:
"It's not clear why WhatsApp settled on the oddly specific number, but it'll be good news for those users for whom 100 just wasn't big enough."

startpage.com
Hamburger menu > Theme > Night/Black.
You'll still get Google's results with startpage. -
Thank you for all your replies :)
I'll give you some additional information since it was late yesterday and I forgot to write some things.
Failing math in uni gets to me, because I loved math in school, I was the best of the entire year. For this exam, I've learned for a whole month while neglecting my friends a bit. I was really frustrated since nothing I read could make me understand some topics.
I also have an overachiever as a brother, who finished high school and his double bachelor with excellent grades, is currently finishing his double master and got a 1.0 (best possible grade) on his first master's thesis.
So, yeah. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -
At least they didn't use Windows :)

"80% of them woke up just to laugh at it"
Hahaha :D -
...once :D

No, right now you have Windows 26.

Snapchat - original
WhatsApp - owned by Facebook
Instagram - owned by Facebook
FB Messenger - owned by Facebook
See the pattern?
devRant - soon to be owned by Facebook? :O
(pls no) -
@matsaki95 @zero1 exactly :D
-
@zero1 thanks for the link! Didn't see that this was already suggested.
-
Had the same idea as you, but didn't search carefully enough, apparently. I've thought of something that might make this lucrative for Team Devrant too.

@linuxxx 0.0 another tuta user, you're the only person I know who uses it too
-
Wow... Amazing how so few people understand / **tolerate** someone being a little more conscious about what they do /how they do things online, even here on devrant...
??SMS? Ever heard of messengers like Telegram and Signal? (Yes, I have read how the CIA has the ability to spy, but it's more difficult for them.)
Gmail? ...people still use Gmail? I remember "Gmail Man" from a few years ago, look it up on YouTube.
Google? I use startpage, sometimes duckduckgo.
Like @Ghosty said, use ublock, disconnect, etc.
I can recommend github.com/StevenBlack/hosts

Update your Windows ಠ_ಠ
@azuredivay not necessarily. 10.0.10240.17202 was released in December 2016 and is still a current, supported release. However, judging by the "(c) 2015" you're probably right. -
Launch the photon torpedoes!! :D

@jde173901 nah, eardrums were already blown when XP started up :D
