Redpill me on modern phones anon. I have a lumia 920 I bought in late 2012. I need it for work, apps don't bother me. It has super solid design, it's pleasantly heavy and not paper thin, which I like a lot. Also, superb camera. I would hold on to it, but I got my screen finally cracked - I'm not the most careful user, and the replacement is not financially viable at this point.
I didn't have a clue what's trending, so I just explored the market and drowned in options. Problem is, it all looks the same to now. Back in 2012 and earlier you could...

Oh, another thing I don't get. Why would devs make super-thin lightweight design, when even salespeople advise to buy additonal protection, glass and other ugly stuff? What's the point in making a "slick" phone which is bound to be turned into rubber crocs-looking thing?
And anyway, is that "super-thin" thing really comfortable to you people? Or it's just admiration of technology?
I've enjoyed my 520 for awhile but I was interested in a larger screen so I went looking around. Everything looks so breakable. They expect you to use a case, I guess. WP has had no market penetration apparently. Shame too. Damn good phone.
So sheeple. Tell us your experiences of dependability and strength from phones without cases. Please, no android or apple. My God... there is no God.

Are your parents technologically illiterate?
>>53225282
Luckily no.
My mom's a CS graduate but sometime in the early 2000s she stopped giving a shit about keeping up with tech and converted to Apple. Growing up with thinkpads and getting a few handed down to me was nice. It was kinda frustrating, growing up with parents who knew more about computers than me, especially since one worked IT in school district and had all the latest software to monitor computer usage. There were a few times when I did everything right from clearing caches and deleting search history to going in and making sure nothing was left in tmp directories and I still...

Dad's not, he was able to install some porn-blocking software.
Mom's yes; been exploiting her tech illiteracy since high school. Managed to get the password to disable the software.

What do u think of pic related?

It's shit.

Better than Opera.

For me it always had terrible user experience. Like the fact that months after release it still does not close tabs in the right order, or how generally slow and choppy it is. It's really a shame because I liked the ideas behind it.
Why is your average CS student so fucking uninterested and dumb?
>sitting in library studying something
>two girls from my class are studying evolution of micros from a book, 8080, 8051, all that good stuff
>girl 1 asks the other, "what is this intel thing?"
>"they dont ask that in the semester exams, dont worry"
Because the education system is so punishing of failure that it's in a student's best interests to focus only on what will be tested.
You can study fun shit when there isn't literally six figures of debt on the line.

More like second or third year. First year is upper level highschool maths and physics and drawing.
Which company has the best ecosystem?
Google has everything and it's mostly free so I'd say Google.
>>53223984
Google, particularly their core services(email, calendar etc)
>>53223984
Google because its servers don't suck and services don't go offline every other month.

So I need a new phone and I heard these are only $30 right now, is this phone any good?
For $30 it'll get the job done. OS isn't that bad, but it could be much better. I believe you can upgrade the 640 to windows 10 mobile as well, but don't quote me on that.
If you're just doing calling, texting, and web surfing its fine.
No, it's shit (both in hardware and software). lg volt is $60 on amazon. get that

If you need more apps (aka android) then get the Moto E which varies around $50
Very good phone for what it's worth
Do you think that Firefox needs an 'undo refresh' button?
holy fuck yes.

Only if you accidentally hit "refresh", and this button is called "stop".

What if your internet con is too fast
Hello /g/ents,
What's the best laptop I can get for under $400? I need one for basically Internet, Photoshop, and Minecraft.
Please don't make threads like this ever again, we are not tech support.
Get a laptop with an A10 APU like:

Just go on Amazon or something and type in cpu benchmarks on google and compare them that way.

Why do you study programming, anon?

To get a job? That's it?

Yes. It's my only hope of getting out of the hikkikomori lifestyle

>Why do you study programming, anon?
It's fun

There is no point in anything except what brings us pleasure
>To get a job? That's it?
I would never want to work as a programmer. That would take the fun out of it.
Hello. I am a user of the three systems (Windows, OSX and Linux) and wanted to say a quick thing about something that involves the community.
Well, we're in the middle of 2016 and the Wayland continues walking the short steps, because of turf wars, involving the ideologies of fucking freetards. A few years ago there was a serious discussion involving the OSS and ALSA. After all the pulseaudio dominated a good portion of the distributions.
While the retards are fighting over ideology and licenses, other companies will and do. An example is the canonical, which...

I'll never feel the same satisfaction when xfree86 was properly configured.
Good blog, open a tumblr or something, I don't care about you anon
Was this os really as bad as people say it is?
>>53221350
It was pretty bad, but after service packs etc it wasn't the worst.
It was mostly perpetuated by normies trying to sound like they know about computers.
It was a radical change compared to XP so that helped with the hate.
But I think it actually had major problems.
>>53221350
It was absolute shit at launch. With SP2 it's basically Windows 7 with a different UI in terms of usability, nuts and bolts aside.
