Yeah but since it's quite old, flash any Linux distro and you're okay

greenermodels:
I just saw this now, what's DSA?

Data Structures and Algorithms.

Essential as I'm sure ALX will teach you more about OOP and advanced concepts like design patterns that you might not know about watching most YT videos.
Best you learn em. It'll help in the long run.

greenermodels:
so does it mean I can use VI or emacs to learn Linux programming on a windows operating system? I'm already downloading the books that you recommended, I'll start reading them later tonight.
(2) Yes, it's the full stack track that they partnered with Udacity.

Yeah, just install wsl.
It won't be the "real" thing but you'd be able to practice with it till you ready to flash a distro of choice

greenermodels:
thanks for the explanation, please what's the meaning of vi?

NB: I was accepted into the full stack developer program not the software engineering program.

It's an editor that comes with most Linux distros

Though the Full-Stack track, is it the one they partnered with Udacity?

Forgot to add that you need some DSA knowledge.

greenermodels:
Why? Is the program not up to date and useful?

Currently in it (last month intake), I must say it's a bit fast-paced, what with the way the tasks are being rushed(?) and what not.
But still, if you're gonna survive, you'd need to be able to google up solutions to problems, ask questions to your peers and the community whenever you're stuck.

Tasks are given daily with a 24hr deadline but they don't"expire".
What happens is the score are reduced (full marks first 24hrs, 65% score if tasks are not completed, 50% if you enter the second deadline which is 48hrs after the task was launched).

There are days where you get no tasks but will be encouraged to join your peers for study sessions (I personally use these days to cover concepts I copy-pasted without understanding or rest my head as the ones I've joined, nobody knew what they did during the week).

Since you're starting, I'd advise you get yourself some books/documentations to read or you'd feel like the resources aren't enough (they aren't) and get this feeling that it's not beginners friendly.
Here are some books I used to help myself;

1. An introduction to GCC by Brian Gough.
That's for the C compiler, you'd learn to use the commands to compile your code. You'd also need to look up GDB (that's the debugger)

2. The C programming language 2nd edition. Book is old, only reason I'm suggesting it is because some blocks of code will fail if you try compiling em, should help somewhat in your googling skills while debugging.
OR
If you're not in the mood for that, get C in a nutshell and/or practical C programming (both are O'Reiley books)

3. For bash, read BASH guide for beginners by Machtelt Garrels.
It's beginners friendly and has examples. Best way you learn is to practice with the codes.

4. Linux... go with The Linux Command Line A complete Introduction by William Shotts.
Beginners friendly and it has a guide to using Vi editor.

With that being said, I'd advise you to practice instead of waiting for a task to drop, join an active community either on WhatsApp or Slack and see if you can get either Emacs or Vi on your local machine and practice with it.

.....

The insurance... Works like how insurance is supposed to? Like you get another device if current one lost?

Also is it tied to specific devices?

Wonder who'd be able to download a single file with that size and still call themselves audiophiles

What pains me is those who claim to go to school saying it's a health risk
Even a secondary school student with basic understanding of radio waves knows it's not

Here

This shii was last week or so news na

acekid109:
I have in transit

Quote me when it lands

You got any of them WH-1000XM3 cans?

atheistandproud:
The poweruser and Krazydave are two of some of the best writers I know. Even better than myself.

Ayam loyal sirs.

Not a writer but it's something I'm looking to do after the brouhaha called school, though not the mobile section as you're doing great

emae009:
Do tell the innovative upgrade of the S21 over the S20 or the Mi 11 over the Mi 10

Apparently you're trolling or not yourself tonight, point out where I stated that making another generation of devices is an innovation.

My point is the guy calling the A15 an innovation. Since you want to start a fight you cannot end/win, point out where that innovation is in the A15, I'll wait.

emae009:
Android phones using the same waterdrop and punchhole display is new ideas right but the iPhone with the now iconic notch is running out of idea.
Please since you have so many, tell us what design choice you'd do knowing that you can use punchhole because of FaceID.
smh

As your brand is touted for being "innovative", ask them instead to perform some innovative wonders abi they waiting for Android to do it so they can "perfect it"?
Also can't they adapt to what their target audience is asking for (which is to bring the Touch ID back in place or in sync with the Face ID).

P.s. - you aren't, will never be a part of their target audience. Now run along and look for who to trigger while saving up to snatch a used iPhone 13 so you can come here and claim bragging rights.

Predstan:
A12, A13, A14, A15 Bionic Chip. These are the fastest processors ever to exist at the time they were released.

The iPhone 13 series has the A15 bionic Chip. This alone is enough to topple any innovation. It took Tesla 5 years to design their own processor for the Self driving Car and they stopped buying from NVIDIA. If you are not technical enough to know this, you know you are not in the best position to do some review

Yeah they fast but are they fully utilized?
It's not about being fast, it's about being fast and being able to use em to max instead of having em somewhat limited.

The M1 on the iPads are wasting away, waiting for devs to build apps that'll use the SoC for what it was intended for aside an overpriced media/school tablet by many...

Plus you saying that last 4 gens of the Bionic chips amongst the fatsest (and they are still), what's the point of a new one if performance across the board is literally the same/only a handful of people will notice em talk less of use the power brought about by each generation of bionics?

Besides you seeing the A15 as an innovation alone (something that's pretty standard at this point) goes to show you don't know what true innovation means.

Ola17:
I meant physical sim and not esim. The sim tray has ‘two face’.

Huh... Guess you got the one meant for the Asian market then

New Poco X3
New Poco F3
Used Samsung S10
Used OnePlus 7/7T/7 Pro/7T Pro McLaren (by luck Sha)
Used Samsung S20 (based off condition)
Used iPhone X/XS/XR/XS Max (based off condition)

Safe to say the pricing is quite okay but better options are in the market with better hardware for the price.

Anyways this means we need bash Tecno till they receive sense and go this route infinix is taking in terms of ... EVERYTHING!

Same shii again, Apple releases another device which, let's face it is no different from the 12 and old features

1. 120hz RR (165hz redmagic 6s says hi) but many don't care about it

2. Emergency satellite feature you can pay your carrier to include (depends on your carrier though)

3. A15 (A14 got thermal throttling issues under sustained load, what's to say its the same with the A15 given the fab is somewhat the same)

4. Cameras haven't seen any significant jump since the 11. Always the same BS

5. Design - at this point, I think they're running out of ideas and would resort to sourcing from Android

Ola17:

I’ve come to understand that most people badmouthing iPhones haven’t used it before and are just doing so because other people are doing same.

Btw, just discovered yesterday that my iPhone of 2 years 8 months uses dual sim

@bolded... I'm itching for some snide comment bout this your discovery but nah... Depends on the network u using you can activate the esim and guessing its an xs or xr as I remember people going gaga over it but implementation was rather slow by our carriers.

Jerryherd:
I guess they are referring to high horsepower super bike and not single stroke engine Bajaj, TVS and other Chinko bikes

Spot-on!

Also it doesn't apply to Apple devices, also applies to devices with OIS but funny thing is users have been complaining that with the use of dampening mounts, their cameras still had issues.

The rates gan... With me using barter @ 533 to $ or so to get the F3, it'll be about 170k but will still go for it.

Aquilapriscilla:
Please boss
What are the box contents of the mi pad 5 pro ?
Does it contain pen and case (book cover case)
Does it have charger?

Pad, user manual, SIM ejector for the 5G models
No and no, buy them separately
No charger in the box

It's been valued at the $300 mark but won't be surprised if that price tag is not for this country.

Samsung S10 for display, speed and camera (Qualcomm model recommended)

iPhone X for camera (shines in front, back is a mixed bag), display (if you get the one with true tone), speed tho an XS Max is better

Pixel 4XL for the camera, speed and display.

For speed, Pixel (Stock Android) and iPhone X (cos of it's walled ecosystem)

atheistandproud:
The way Xiaomi don make high specced phones cheap. If not, some people for dey sell us trash-ion say na phone.

Same way them and some brands under BBK electronics humbled Samsung in the Indian markets or how Jio is dominating instead of Airtel.

But here we like to suffer even when solution dey.

Now THIS is how a friggin tech thread should be, not the "my crappy points are right me or f*** off" threads

seunfly:
May he is talking about the likes of tecno and co but that is not android's fault.

Figures
