Judge Schnoopy posted:I set it up last night. It's an Ubuntu install with a Windows mount. There are a lot of limitations with /proc (ifconfig didn't get me anywhere) but apt-get works for mostly everything. Didn't get a lot of time to mess with it but it's interesting. No, I was saying an Ubuntu install in a VM is an actual Linux installation

Windows is still full of driver weirdness, scaling oddities, hardware functions that don't work after upgrading... I use 7 every day at work and have personal laptops running 10, installing the latest Mac OS on a 3-5 year old Mac Laptop isn't really any different than on a brand new one. Windows hardware that old can be a lottery even with the well-supported common stuff.

System76 published this kind of useless blog post about migrating to Ubuntu from the Mac http://support.system76.com/articles/switch/

I never do anything with my iPhone and my Mac except copy videos over and do the backup device to iTunes when I get a new one.

Cakebaker posted:Interesting! Funny how it differs so much between regions. Never used it myself but this is what I've read To elaborate, there are many reasons 1. They have a no ads policy which is a really godsend thing when other messengers had stickers, games and just plain annoying ads. 2. The ones that did not, for ex Google etc were not really made for phones. They understood the importance of using your contacts as social graph really really well. Whatsapp is avaiable native for almost every phone even the cheapest ones 3. They almost never experienced outages. 4. Had sensible defaults. 5. Their apps are lightweight (memory and cpu wise) compared to amount of time one spends on it. 6. Had no api and generally very low spam compared to sms. SMS has really high spam in the developing world. 7. Rich media compared to SMS and no character restrictions I think west really hates it as most of the people there have iphone and they had this $1 signup which made it unpopular there. They never had that on android which made it a darling of non-west

revmoo posted:It's gonna be hilarious when it turns out that running the bulk of the computers on Earth on the exact same monoculture O/S written by a company famous for poor security practices turns out to be a bigger security problem than just having a million different O/S and version combinations. Have we learned nothing from the Cavendish bannana? (No; the answer is no we haven't) Mac guys have been waiting for a supervirus to shutdown every Windows desktop one dark day, but it's never happened.
