I've had a Nexus 5 for the past few years, not looked at any newer smartphones apart from noticing they've generally got larger screens and are a bit less compact.

Spent 200 on mine when it came out, dropped another 40 to replace the screen once, currently living in Spain and looking for a similar price range.

Apart from the jump to 4G I've not noticed anything new worth getting.

Can someone redpill me on upgrading? What am I missing out on?

This is where the world is heading:

>Borders will fade as international cooperation and trade increases.
>Religion will be phased out, as living standards increase and the need for superstitious comfort disappear.
>Bisexuality will become the norm, as old dogmas die.
>Work will be exclusively creative as automation leads to a level of productivity magnitudes higher than the present day.
>Smart computer systems will allocate resources according to need in harmony with the environment.
>The maintenance/improvement of this system will be done on a circulating basis by the entire population.
>Important societal changes will be guided by scientific data, and approved democratically by a regional voting system.
>Education will be seen as a life-long pursuit.
>People will have free access to transportation, and all utilities will be publicly available.
>Race becomes irrelevant as interbreeding continues. Genetic engineering will eventually eliminate all genetic defects
>Money will exist in some form, but mainly for luxury or non-essential goods and services.

Because Russia is adapting. Conventional warfare with nukes is both a defense and an offense weapon, thus they are protected. But however they can't use it, they can still take non traditional method of "combat" aka propaganda/incite civil wars within enemy territory/change leadership/etc. The fact that they're doing this without any negative fallout still gives them a strong presense in global stage.

>>68054457
>>Borders will fade as international cooperation and trade increases.
Valid for only few developed western countries.

>Religion will be phased out
Number of religious people rises during last decade though. Would be nice to get rid of the cancer of religion but we see only more and more mudslimes and hindu poo in loo retards (the least is even worse tbqh)

>Bisexuality will become the norm
Nothing bad actually.

>Work will be exclusively creative as automation leads to a level of productivity magnitudes higher than the present day.
It is still cheaper to hire million of pajeet or chinese or pinoy workers than build one robot and that's going to remain.

>Important societal changes will be guided by scientific data, and approved democratically by a regional voting system.
No. As pointed out, religions and extremism of both left-wing and right-wing kind are on rise hence more blood-thirsty fanatics.

As almost any country attempts. No one is calling Israel, Saudia Arabia or Iran world players because of it. Russia had some destabilisation attempts but practically they have minimal impact.

Also, China now has port access from Phillipines giving them access to the pacific.

Also has port access from Pakistan/Sri Lanka/Myanmar for the Indian Ocean. While the Sri Lanka access is treated as "commercial only", phillipines/myanmar/pakistan are dual use.

They're making money from HOSTING and providing SUPPORT or other stuff like advertising, not from the software itself. Note that this is not at all the same as directly making money from distributing and selling derivative code, which is protected by the GPL to begin with.

>Woman here
Stopped reading there, opinion discarded. Women are all liars, thieves, murderers, and rapists. The only reason I don't use women for target practice or as punching bags is because only a woman would be so needlessly cruel. While they aren't people, women are still on the same level as family pets, in terms of their usefulness, intelligence, and potential to contribute to society (once in a blue moon, you get a "pet hero' that gets a statue or something, that's the equivalent of woman doing something useful with her life: we don't actually care but it's kind of endearing). Granted women are more morally evil than dogs and abusing women is therefor more acceptable/understandable than abusing a dog, but that's the woman's fault anyway.
I will say this though: we have far too many women. The population should be around 5% women, not 50%. So whenever there's some natural disaster that kills thousands of people, i always pray that all the victims are women. Of course because women get everything for free in life and never work a day in their lives, they are usually prioritized and men are the ones who are left to die. Not that women care.

Rsync does file level backups, I'm looking for an image backup solution. And even if I did it the ghetto way and just pointed rsync to /dev/sda, I don't think it can store the different versions incrementally, it only encodes the differences for transfer right? And no idea if btrfs does what I need.

I've bought a Dell gaming desktop for $1000 and now I have regrets. I should have maybe bought the nuc instead. I don't even play videogames much, it's just for illustrator and Photoshop and very light gaming. How do the two compare, did I make a mistake?

Intel nuc 8th Gen Intel Core i7-8809G with Radeon RX Vega M GH graphics


Dell i5675-7806BLU-PUS Inspiron Gaming PC Desktop 5680, Intel Core i7-8700, 16GB DDR4 Memory, 128GB SSD+2TB SATA HDD, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060, Recon Blue, Windows 10 64-bit
