Does anyone on /g/ use a flip phone or any not smartphone phone aka dumbphone.
I do but very rarely since you are still being tracked when you carry it around. I'd rather have no phone at all but the fucking mobile phone industry destroyed pay/emergency phones.

Not to the extend google with android or apple with iphone tracks you.
If I could get a 4G dumbphone with a QWERTY keyboard and capable of Wi-Fi tethering I probably would switch to it

>11 year old kid phones up Louis Rossman the electronic board repair guy and gives him a fluent and logical diagnosis of what's wrong with his own motherboard, citing components and pathways and everything he learned from the board repair YT videos, in a way that a lot of tech field workers and graduated tech students don't have the mental capacity to do
>meanwhile, this grown up retard who has the mental capacity beneath an 11 year old finds it too hard to take a day off to google up how to build a desktop computer, and google up some basic articles that overview what each hardware component does, how they interact, and what too look for when buying your gaymer Lego Blocks to assemble

>W-w-what? Does this guy have the brain of a pig?
In defense of Mr. Pig-Brain, the manuals that come with hardware these days (or at least all the ones I've seen) are poorly written. Although, it's still a poor excuse when you consider the number of guides and tutorials on the internet.
it's not as easy as some of you fags would have complete newbs on the subject believe it is
there is plenty of research that should be done before assembling your own system - especially if you want to keep a good price/ performance ratio
also nobody warned me of just how fucking awful installing the CPU unto the motherboard was going to sound and feel like

>Docking stations that easily turns your laptop into a desktop.
>Easy to repair, upgrade and maintain thanks to readily available service manuals for every model. Spare parts are easy and cheap to obtain.
>The best trackpoint (that red thing in the middle of the keyboard). Great for those who type a lot or hate swiping their fingers all over a touchpad.

Sent this in other thread but I'll move it here.
I heard the T460s doesn't have great battery life and you can get both with pretty much the same features.
If requesting purchasing advice, please provide your country and what carrier you will be using it with, along with wanted features, budget and size.

What apps do you recommend for a newfag regarding phones
What do you guys think how much the new nexus line will cost? I was thinking about getting one of them but if they are too expensive then its a no no for me. Might get a phone tomorrow on the primeday from warehouse deals.
>replied as last one died
Well good I can start fresh
Been out of the smartphone game for 2 years now.
Loved my note 2, but didn't lose any sleep over it.
Are Samsung galaxy note 4s still worth getting?
They don't cost a fortune, and do what I liked in my old phone but better.
I'm sure there's better choices though, there's so many fucking phones now.

What's the most aesthetically pleasing mATX case that can support a full-sized PSU that doesn't break the bank currently on the market?
>pic unrelated
>>55523543
Mine faggot.
>>55523543
A modern Dell case. Dell Inspirons or Studio XPS models. Get them used or just with the case on Ebay.
>>55523820
Are these standard mATX cases or proprietary awful layouts? Surely they're not designed with customizability in mind.
Anyone remember how long before it was leaked that the iPhone 7 wouldn't have a headphone jack, that anon posted "the only thing keeping phones from getting thinner is the headphone jack" threads every day? What the fuck was that about?
>>55522585
I think it had to do with the thickness of a 3.5mm jack and how that would prevent a phone from getting thinner than 3.5mm
>>55522594
Well obviously, but it's like he had some type of inside info long before inside info about the iPhone 7 started coming out. It's like he was trying to use /g/ to prime people to the idea of a 3.5mm-jackless phone.
>>55522594
3.6mm at least to account for the jack well and phone itsself
Rebooting a general, I'd like to know more about HP's retro line of workstation keyboards, C1405A or C1405B, I like their design a lot but don't know how it feels to type with.
Average price on ebay is about 110, shipping included but they aren't in good condition, is there a modern equivalent of it?
>>55522537
What do you mean? Rubberdome keyboards? Yes, there are some, if you look hard enough.
Colourwise, SP Lily is pretty close, but that shit is rare.
