Nice!
Altough it is pretty stupid to trust a firm which also has the word "trust" in its name, it sure is a hell of a lot more convenient than the old way.

I thought this was EU law. But could be wrong.

The meda creation tool can go the fuck to hell. What I did was downloading an iso from some half-decent third-party website and using that ever since. Recently, my friend tried the tool against my warnings. He rage-quit and asked me where I got my iso from...

I always have procexp open to shoot memory or cpu hogger down.

It is just a low power device. I mean it has the pins for wires but I don't use them because I have no clue.
For us it manages the the DHCP (because the built-in in cheap routers are shit). At some point it provided a fake minecraft server which would wake up the real via WOL. I also wanted to install piehole but have yet to find a tutorial without autoinstaller. It can also stake cryptocurrencies if you are into that. It might also be able to serve as VPN server if you are abroad. Or you have a (custom) small app accessed by multiple devices or users on your network.

Basically perfect for small, non-resourcehungry services you want to have available all the time for yourself. But no magic box that is fun to play with, at least for me.

I find the idea pretty good but I am fighting every time with hibernate which is the only implementation I have worked with yet. I am just wasting time trying to get it to do what I want while aleady knowing the complete query. That's why I went for MyBatis for my personal project.
Maybe someone will be able to show me whow it is supposed to be used at some point 😅

@Navigatr Exactly! If i close something I am probably not going to need it any time soon so I will take the extra cost of startup. But in theory it sould not make any difference because if memory gets too low, the OS should remove apps automatically which does not seem to work for me.
I am no expert, background tasks can run in separate processes or the same and the latter are probably adding to the cause which we get rid of by closing manually.

I am on CM13 and I have a button in the developers options that reads "kill app back button" right at the bottom: "Kill the foreground app by long-pressing the back-button". Not sure for stock or other versions. I still have hardware keys, though, which might have better reaction if everything hangs.
But it saved me a lot since it frees resource pretty much instantly when things go downhill as soon as the command goes through. The best thing is that it is always ready to press and no UI. The open apps menu would have to open first...

My tablet is old and extremely slow. I suspect that one part of it is full memory.
I have to manually close apps otherwise it gets slower and slower, possibly grinding to a "complete" halt if some app randomly decides to need more ram or a background task starts.
The best config I made is that I can kill apps pressing back long wich saved me multiple times. It can get so bad that switching to the homescreen or to another app can literally take multiple minutes. If no other app is open, starting a new one is reasonable fast. Slowness definetly scales with opened apps on this device.

Though, I am not ruling out hardware or software defects. Still looking for an 10inch amoled horizontal tablet replacement 😔

Yes, I am living THE life and I like living dangerously.

I am still wondering to this day what it is really doing in the background.

📌

Just switched from CM13 to lineageos 14 because the old one broke down spontaneously. Tianium backup saved my ass.

But I also might be doing something very wrong here :(

@JoshBent Interesting. That didn't happen when I used it but times change I guess.
I know someone that (I think) still uses it but I have not asked about that in a long time and got no angry call yet. Might catch up on that topic actually.

The square7 offer look a little bit too over the top to be free, I'll give you that.

I have used bplaced.net at some point in the distant past and was quite happy with them. Just worked.

There are a lot of other ones, like XMR, DCR, ARK and MSP, only to name a few I personally believe in.
But of course you have to put effort into researching and separate the crap ones.
For a quick buck you could take a look at ETHUSD which looks like its going above 400 in the coming week or so. But don't take that as advice as its only my opinion.

I recently got "pushing isn't working".
And then ten minutes later "it's fixed now".
Still don't know what the issue was.

I have had some pretty shitty ones but also some real gems. Without thinking too long I would say its balanced.

@NoMad I recently installed office 2010 on ubuntu using playonlinux because it was easier than downloading a windows image...
Can't imagine the pain that person went through creating the script but I am glad it exists.
Everything seems to work correctly and my mother is happy now 😊

@Aitkotw I do that for every longer text on the internet because I am scared of happening. Actually, I am writing it in a completey different program where I save all the time and then copy it over.
And I am not doing that for fun but because of exeperience 😅😥

@Totchinuko at least for me it was curiosity but I am sure it isn't for most people.

Well, I once managed the same with .lnk files but I dont remember how and I honestly don't want to. At least I could still open .exe to fix it 😅

I once attended a lecture at university and at some point windows decided it would be a good moment to reboot and to apply updates. Some swearwords were spoken but he simply continued without visuals.
Incidentally, this was the only time he used his laptop because he would normally use his iphone without any issues.

And I am sitting in 100% alts and completely rekt now.

Haha, reminds me when someone desperatly came to me for help because nothing worked. I typed some git commands into the terminal and then, magically, pushing worked. You cant believe how much they worshipped me afterwards for basically nothing 😊

I don't get why anybody uses any other language to write code than english. Or even mixing multiple languages.
Warum mocht ma sowos?

Currently only world of warcraft and sometimes factorio.
But there are also Diablo2/3, Cities Skylines, Stellaris, Minecraft and a lot more. Of course with lots of mods if possible!

I feel like that too! Something needs to break or too annoying to use before it gets replaced.
And I am writing this from a shitty samsung tablet with custom OS so it is half decently usable. I try to keep switching between apps at a minimum because it is so slow and webbowsing is virtually not possible because it can take up to one minute for a page to load (or an app to open).
But it still works!
