Hey /g/. I'm currently in the market for a new tablet. My budget is around $240/£150
I'm not sure if I should go for an android tablet or a windows one. I feel the android one would probably run a bit faster but the windows one would be a lot more future proof.
Any reccomendations for specific tablets or whether I should go for an android or windows one?
I quite like this one, but I feel on 1gb of ram it could be awfully slow

my only worry with android is after a few years when there are newer versions of android, my tablet will start to become useless as I will not be able to download a lot of apps, whereas with windows I would not have this problem
got a venue 8 pro used for very cheap, has 2gb ram and with a Bluetooth keyboard it's good for random consumption and basic office work. windows is the way to go if you don't need muh apps
the newer android versions don't matter at all
windows tablet = weak laptop
android tablet = large smartphone
windows tablet is far more useful most of the time. Problem is, most have really shitty graphics and low ram, and the ones that don't are too expensive. Just get a 70-150$ windows tablet like hp stream, lynx or whatever

This looks really ideal,thanks. Hopefully the lack of expandable storage and lower screen resolution won't be an issue. But for that price I don't think I will get any better
I disconnected my pc from power with my foot and suddenly i sat in the dark. After turning on my circuit breaker for my flat again, i noticed my pc wont boot. I tried the trick where you hold the power switch for a minute and i took the cmos battery out for a minute. My psu (thermaltake berlin) is supposed to have "industrial grade protection" lol. Anything else i can try before buying a new psu? Big thanks in advance lads

try to manually connect PS_ON to COM with a paperclip in the psu block. see if it starts up and the fan spins up.
>>51947385
Check if inside the PSU theres a fuse, maybe its burnt.
>>51947385
Post feet with timestamp, your feet may have electronegatively charged the PSU's micronized polyfuses, if that's the case, I'll need a screenshot of the PSU's internals and its schematic, so I can pinpoint the issue and help you de-electronegatyve the micronized polyfuses to re-anodize them.
Just post feet.
I have an i3-3220 and thinking of upgrading my processor without breaking the bank. What's a good upgrade? I'm thinking of getting a i5-3330.
Bump? Anybody?
Maybe I'm wrong, but doesn't the 2500 use LGA1155?
>>51947800
Yeah, it does. Is that still a worthy upgrade?
Was it last good Windows OS?

they never made a good one

Now that CISA passed, why haven't you:
>started a tor relay or hidden service
>joined gnunet or ipfs
You care about freedoms, right? Now is the perfect time.
Is this a us thing?
what is a CISA
>>51947124
You should embrace those things no matter where you are
what the hell is this
should have used linux/OSX anon :^)
a windows window
botnet

Anyone know how to turn a laptop into a surveillance camera, in a way that doesn't make it obvious to people entering your room that it's recording?
Windows 8 comes with the camera app, which is great, but it turns off when the screen locks. So I guess my alternate question is does anyone know a way around this, so that the screen can be locked, but the camera can still record?
Anyone?! /g/. I don't know if there's a more suitable group of people, on 4chan, to ask.
>>51946938
Write it yourself.

Do I look like a geek, anon?
How does /g/ deal with planned obsolescence?
>>51946740
Sold my lagxus 5 and I bought an N9 instead of another disposable consumer lagdroid/ayyFone, never had to upgrade again

By not joining consumerism and actively fighting it daily.

I really want to get a new one
I don't use anything except for Malwarebytes to scan my PC each month or so.
Also AVG is selling you as you read this.
>>51946684
Isn't that only malware and not an anti virus?

I regularly shill avira because it's free and not from a shithead country like the US or china.
Nod32 is a very good one, american or not, and with trial keys you have a legal free copy forever.
I just tried qihoo 360 and it's actually really good for being chink shit, having avira and bitdefender engines is nice. Takes a little digging around in the UI to figure everything out but it's really well-made once you fiugure it out. I still can't believe it but I actually approve of it
Bitdefender...

I'm about to buy the OnePlus X as I've heard it's the best budget phone out right now, but I heard that it's also a fingerprint magnet. How bad is it?
no I wouldn't recommend stealing one because if it is ever involved in a crime and used as evidence against you then yes it will be absolutely covered in your finger prints
>>51946491
Honestly you should try the Nokia N9, you can get one of them for pretty cheap
It's a full GNU/Linux mobile phone that runs everything, has revolutionary UX that no phone today has matched and DOES NOT LAG unlike the Oneplus X, the opx was also designed to be a disposable consumer toy unlike the N9
It's design is also top notch, symmetrical in all axis and uses a combo of AMOLED + Clearblack that only other phone that uses it is Lumia 950, the whole OS is designed that you can't even...

The camera is worse than the one in the nexus 5, equals moto g at best
>pic related, sample of the oneplus x
It passed
and all they had to do was attach it to a mandatory spending bill
>>51946458
who cares?
good. less tax payer dollars going to multiple agencies trying to get the same data.
What went wrong?
>>51946407
some guy decided making a non-free, cloud-based piece of shit software was a good idea. that's what went wrong.
>>51946407
they started making pencil holders and notebooks instead of improving their main product
>>51946407
It's literally bloatware in newer lagdroids
