what's the coolest smarphone right now (or coming out within the next 2-3 months) for around $200?
screen quality would be a priority for me
Is there something much better coming up than Moto G 3rd generation?
What's /g/'s opinion about Project Ara?

What's the best VPN provider for torrenting? There are a couple of great christmas deals right now.
I don't want PIA since I have problems with them. I might try AirVPN, but their christmas deals aren't great compared to other providers.
Just get a seedbox
>>52083455
That's a good solution, but in no way cheaper than a discounted VPN
>>52083491
>>52083491
Less fucking around than turning on your vpn every time you want to seed some shit and no bandth being eaten
Why does Linux Mint has such a butt ugly default background?
I know it can be easily changed but Jesus Christ, it's almost 2016 and they use something that looks like it was made by a teenager on his pirated copy of 3D Studio in 1995
To not make this thread completely useless - how is Linux Mint? Never used it... is there a good reason for it being the most popular distro?
How does it compare to Xubuntu ?
Linux Mint is Linux so naturally it's a meme

install gentoo
Well, that's what you get in opensource loonix world. Bad design in everything.
Linux is a server is. If you use it as a desktop you are mentally ill..
>>52083327
Linux is a kernel for an operating system you stupid fuck
>>52083552
not OP but
Linux is globally name for whole family

I don't see how Arch appeals to anyone when Gentoo gives you actual choice (like whether you want systemd), can be more bleeding edge if that is what makes you hard (I get git updates for my ncmpcpp), and is more customizable (use flags).
What am I missing? Why do people choose Arch instead of going the full distance and using gentoo?
>>52083321

install lfs

Why bother with Linux?
I don't see how Linux appeals to anyone when you can just use Windows and it just works.

This is ChromiumOS on my laptop live booting from flashdrive. It's silky smooth and all but what now?
I wanted to give it a try to know what the fucking fuss is all about. Tell me,
Why is this good besides for browsing fac.ebook? Why is this selling like hot cake?
There is no native media player, no native office support and you are expected to do everything on Chrome browser like a tech retard. Whats the appeal of this operating system?
I see no use for this and I really feel handicapped.
what the actual fuck?
There is no appeal. I can only imagine it to be useful for grandparents and other tech-illiterates.
It is handicapped but "handicapped" is apparently another word for "easy to use" in some people's mouths. I would replace it with Linux immediately.
>>52083178
A rock is also easy to use, it doesn't mean anything.

>i use netflix purely for esthetic reasons.
>i sometimes turn my bigass tv on just to play around with the netflix menu because it's just so beautiful compared to pasting shit into vlc or whatever
How does this make you feel, /g/?
Consider suicide.
Then consider suicide.
I LITERALLY couldn't care less.
>Tfw I pay for Netflix because too lazy to a pirate all the shit my gf and son want to watch

What are your favorite cases /g/?
I absolutely love the way this looks but its either get a big ass one or a small one with no 5.25" slot which I absolutely need.
>>52019465
I have one and its quite nice. Coming form a full to we it's not a huge deal. You reduce the vertical height and just put it into the width., but you get benefits from the dual storage design.
>>52019465
How well does this case work on it's side to where the transparent panel is facing up? Would it look weird?
>>52019562
Unless you prop up the side underneath you'll cut off air intake to the PSU.
Aside from that I don't see any issues.
What would you rather buy for uni?
I'm currently in uni and i have a shitty laptop, which i basically use for word, shitposting, watching movies, some ga.y.ming etc.
A tablet would be great to read some books on (im not going to pay 300$ for a book), seeing that reading books on my shitty laptop is a pain in the ass and bringing my laptop to classes instead of the phyisical copy of the book is an even bigger pain in the ass.
I dont have enough money for both, so either a nice laptop (was thinking about the 13" rmbp) or a nice tablet, what whould you /g/entoomen recommend?
Tables is for moms who cant into technology
Get a thinkpad you fucking idiot
>>52082520
did you even read my post?
im not buying an ipad to play candy crush, i'd buy one to read uni books...
>thinkpad
an thinkpad x costs as much as a retina, and i'd rather get a retina than a memepad for the same price

I'm having a shitload of issues with this cunt lately. Random reboots, apps crashing over and over until I manually reboot, home crashing and never restarting again, systemui crashing, weird system apps crashing, calls stopping, bluetooth not working properly.
Am I the only unlucky bastard who's having all of these issues with this device? Maybe mine it has some odd problem like corrupted nand or ram since factory reset doesn't help, after a few days I'm back having all of the aforementioned issues. Of course I have no root or weird mods going on,...

Literally every android device I've ever owned has done this after about 1 year of use.
Currently using a hand me down iPhone 5 until I can afford something better. I hate the interface on this fucking thing. Shame considering the size, shape, and screen are great.
Why can't these companies just make a proper mobile os
>>52082395
Android is just pleb shit. Once you realize that adding 10 clock widgets and using your autismal minimal meme homescreen is not as ideal as having a stable system, iOS is just fine, in fact it's so fine you will never go back to plebdroid. Of course this is if you have to get shit done with your phone, if you use it as a toy then Android might be fine before it start to reboot on its own multiple times per day.
>>52082329
Did you take a OTA recently? It may just be a software problem.
Im sick to shit of me stalling buying parts and building my pc, but i haven't felt this illiterate since he first time i played yugioh.
/g/ is somehow the smartest person i know. Just asking for help on what parts to buy and how to build it.
Pic related, its my budget, sorry for £.
Also general pc tips/hax thread
>>52082263
you need a psu, a mobo, a cpu, some ram
look at the specs for all things to make sure they're compat
maybe a case and a hard drive if you're feeling fancy
god bless
Thank you for replying. Is there a minimum to the specs i shoukd aim for? Im going to be using it for work and of course gaming. Im not gonna be disecting frames or anything, but want the best got my money. Again, thanks, just want my bases covered.
>>52082400
What games do you play? Also what settings do you want to play them at?
this new macbook is the ultimate Facebook machine
>>52082138
Enjoy your toy, I guess..
>>52082152
the medal frame is uncomfortable, it cuts into my wrists, and feels bad to rest my palms on.
literally a meme device.
I got it for 999, and now it is back up to 1299 at best buy.
i might try to return it without a receipt to see if they give me 1299 store credit.
Let's see how long this glorious mosaic stays up.
