Comment Re: But 725$ for a Samsung is OK! (Score 1) 487

Good luck getting proper support if there are hardware issues. Bought into the idea with the OnePlus One, and encountered bootloops after a botched official OTA update, while unrooted and still "locked" within 5 months of purchase. No help what so ever. The forums were a joke. Sometimes you get what you pay for. If I have issues with a phone within a year, most OEMs will either replace it with a new device or a refurb. OnePlus? Absolutely nothing.

"Playstation 3 -- FreeBSD now officially supports the Playstation 3 game console. This might be a bit late, but the Playstation 3 has been useful for several number crunching applications due to its processor and its low price."

The PS3 hasn't had the OtherOS option for how long? I don't know of anyone that hasn't updated after that, obviously not the USAF.
I knew *BSD was behind the times, but come on now...

It is pretty much impossible to get a signal in it's general area. The surrounding stores & restaurants are a dead zone.

If they build the network so you can actually get a signal, I will gladly leave AT&T for them.
