I just really use uBlock Origin and Netflix Ultrawide support.
[QUOTE=s5300;47966124]Out of curiosity and the fact something you use may be something greatly helpful to me and I just don't know it yet -
Would some of you guys be so kind as to tell me what add ons/extensions you have for Chrome/Firefox and why you use them/how they are beneficial to you?
That being said, I'll list my few measly ones.
Adblock Plus - Pandora, other obvious reasons
Ghostery - I truly forget honestly, I think I was tired of being recommended things based on my search history and this stopped it?
Session Buddy - I always have multiple windows with 20+ tabs each open and power in my area seems to just die often. I then reboot, open a new window.. email, facebook, other shit.. Forget I had everything up, and by the time I go to recents ITS GOOOONE
Sorry if this isn't the place for this. Anything is appreciated.[/QUOTE]
For Firefox:
Adblock Plus - although I'm planning to switch to uBlock, just can't be assed
Awesome Screenshot - useful for taking screenshots of web pages
ColorZilla - web dev stuff, basically just an eyedropper tool
FireFTP - FTP client
Live HTTP Headers - more web dev stuff
And a few I used but disabled:
HTTPS Everywhere - broke too many sites
Greenhouse 1.1 - nice idea but it slowed browsing down WAAAAY too much

I specifically excluded Excel from my previous post because I know badly abused Excel can sometimes get.

[QUOTE=nikomo;47965810]You can get decent displays that take about 5W of power, and your typical single-board ARM computer will eat on average another 5W, peak 10W.
You can get 5Ah LiPo cells for cheap nowadays, which I believe ends up being about 18.5Wh per cell, but if we drop the estimate down to 15Wh per cell, you can still get an hour of usage per cell.
Since I care about battery life, I'd design the case with space for about 2-3 cells on top of each other, in a single-file row, with at least 5 colums easily. That's 10-15 cells, it would easily last me through the day.
Only problem is charging the damn things, but I know how I'd keep the LiPo cells safe.
You can switch the LiPos out for 18650 Li-ion cells if you're afraid of lithium explosions.[/QUOTE]
LifePos would be a lot safer ordeal even with their slightly lower energy density cause you can discharge them flat with no issues and they're less prone to catching fire.
Single-board ARM computers aren't too useful as a daily even as a developer, though. I've made a single-board ARM laptop out of a motorola lapdock and an Odroid board and it worked great giving me more battery life than I could ever need out of a compact package, but the limited software selection in Linaro was a pain.
The only reason I could see DIY-ing a laptop worthwhile would be if it had a significant amount more power or features than ones on the market, and in that case it'd be a lot more power and weight-efficient to steal a mainboard off a laptop so it's hardly DIYing and you'd get easier results out of just heavily modifying an existing laptop instead of salvaging one to make your own.

I want GPIOs in my laptop.
The current ARM SBCs aren't too useful, but in a few years, we'll probably have ones with 8GB of RAM and a decent CPU, which would run everything I need quite nicely.
I've been Linux-only on my laptop for years now, and I don't use much proprietary software, if I cut one program out, which wouldn't be a problem, I could easily use an ARM CPU.

Get a old one with a parallel port, and enjoy good ol' bitbanging.
I lied, I want GPIO, I2C, SPI and a couple of hardware UART ports.
woohoo 80's hardware

Now that I have the space I'm actually going to see if I can get it to work
The board is $550, and I don't like their ready-made cases at all.
There's a reason why I'm not doing it right now. The tech is almost there.

Considering the amount of rebrands in the 3** line-up, the Fury cards are at least looking fairly promising: [url]http://www.guru3d.com/news-story/amd-radeon-fury-x-photos-appear-online.html[/url]
It looks like they're going to be about 6cm shorter than the 980 Ti, which is honestly pretty cool. Nice for very small chassis.

4gb of VRAM is a bit disappointing though (according to hynix)

Afaik that's basically a hard limitation currently, but the situation should improve fairly quickly.

Yeah, there's no way past it atm, not a decision by AMD, but still can hinder it. Maybe HBM just isn't quite ready.

Though 4gb of HBM would be perfect for my 1440p 96hz...

Doesn't Samsung just [I]LOVE [/I]to give the open source community the cold shoulder?
Even Qualcomm seems more friendly.
On the subject of Microsoft Access I'm currently using it in class for coursework using it to basically make everything (Queries, reports, interface). I can definitely imagine someone getting shot for using this as a back end for something connected to the internet, it seems to be designed for local work only.
They seem to be using it as it is the only thing they have ready on their network that we can use. Hopefully this will be the first and only time I develop a database as I keep fucking up, I split the fields into too many table, add too much detail in places and make it able to delete shit it shouldn't be able to.

Honestly, I'm more confused on why everyone still supports McIntosh.
Sarkeesian is your typical Tumblr-grade feminist, with the notable exception being she's actually done her homework on the actual "feminism" bit of that (not on video games, no, but she'll rarely say some shit about general stuff like wage gaps and it will make sense). McIntosh on the other hand is quite clearly a fuckboy who's only involved in this to get in Sarkeesian's pants, and I have no idea why nobody but me notices this shit.

There's already SBCs with Exynos SoCs available on them, though.
Odroid U3 and Odroid XU3.
