You are stupid.
I've finally decided on my new watch.
Nav B-Uhr 44 Vintage TITANIUM A-Type
Or
Nav B-Uhr 44 Automatic A-Type
I like the sterile dial of the titanium, but I also like the lume of the regular which has a steinhart logo on it. Steinhart also offers the most value for the money with an ETA 2824-2 compared to Laco and others with their base miyota 821a at the same price point. Just have to decide between the two. Opinions?

What cheap Chinese shit have you bought, and would you recommend it?
Yes, we know everything is already from China but in here we discuss the no/low-name cheap shit you see on eBay, AliExpress, Gearbest and similar sites.

There are four ways to try GNU/Linux, you can:

2) Dual-boot GNU/Linux with Windows/Mac (recommended...

I have ~$600 autism bucks to spend on upgrading my PC. I need a new motherboard and CPU
i7 4970 vs i7 6700? I've seen the latter benchmark the same as the older i7 when it comes to encoding. I have a lot of DDR3 ram and I know the next gen (only?) supports ddr4 ram i doubt they're backwards compatible. What should I get autists?
>looking for CPU and mobo
>there are people on /g/ who don't put their multiple GB of spare RAM to the most useful thing you possibly could
But, /g/ wouldn't be stupid enough to just leave it there doing nothing, would it?

What are you even going to put on your ramdisk? Your pagefile? Come on, there's no legitimate reason to use ramdisk on a normal computer.

How do we save Windows 10 Mobile? We need to get it up to at least 10% global market share so it can sustain itself.
I'm not worried about tablets anymore because the abomination that was Windows RT is now abandonware and Windows tablets run full Windows now so there are plenty of apps for them. Windows servers have a healthy market share and Windows desktop/laptops are still dominant.
>>53929292
Bring it to every win8phone without making apps incompetible
Given my experience with Windows Phone 8.1, it needs software support and development. Using any Google service on it is a pain, especially YouTube. Apps that haven't been updated in two years need to come off the store. Apps that don't work need to be taken down.
Using Windows Phone feels like showing up to a party right as everyone is leaving.
>>53929373
Windows 10 Mobile requires at least 512 MB of RAM, so a lot of Win 8.1 phones are going to be excluded. If they meet the hardware requirements they can probably run the OS.
>>53929396
GMail is the only thing I can see a person really needing on a phone, and you can just configure that to forward things to your Outlook account, which has a native app. Google is never going to cooperate with Windows 10 Mobile, and that's not Microsoft's fault.

Galaxy S6
The battery could last longer, otherwise it's a pretty fast phone with lots of great features.
9/10
I'd prefer the Note5 due to the extra screen space mostly though.
1. Nexus 5.
2. Sustainable; using since launch, praying that it somehow fails me so I can move on.
3. Terrible battery that I fixed through root and certain internals, only to make it mediocre.
4. 8 out of 10.
1. Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro
2.
+ Battery life is great, great price/performance, micro SD
- No (decent) port of Cyanogenmod yet.
3. 9/10
