Tech that should have never existed

Intel shill go away!

>Competition should never have existed
I seriously don't understand /v/ invaders. Do they seriously prefer getting cucked by paying more?
>>53622753
They aren't so poor that they need options.
If there's only one company then you're ALWAYS getting the best.

Dude, you can't even do the most simple, common, pedestrian everyday tasks like download a fucking MP3 torrent or watch Kodi.
Can't make use of my AstraWeb account, block ads, even upload a fucking ringtone without having to use iTunes.
And on the topic of iTunes, no single piece of software has ever been so incredibly frustrating.
Fuck iOS restrictions man, let the people do whatever they want, it's their hardware
I'm using an iPad Air to write this but it's just a glorified web browser at this point, and I will not ever be purchasing an Apple product ever again until they release their oppressive grip from the App Store
Windows tablets are the way of the future. x86 software and the ability to use the tablet any way you want should be way more appealing to all but the biggest idiots, senior citizens, and children
Apple lost the plot after jobs died.
That's the problem with an autocrat, once they die their empire just stumbles around aimlessly.
>>53622643
Apple wants to market it like that, they don't actually think it can replace a PC in YOUR USE CASE.
For some people it might be able to do so, but not for the autistic /g/ poster who can't imagine an use case beside his own.
This is why you'll never get a job in the IT industry.
I love the way they actively market the processor as faster than a laptop's thanks to Geekbench when real world application benchmarks have shown that to be completely inaccurate.
If you guys had to buy a new phone, what would you buy?
I have a Nexus 6 right now, kinda tired of the shit camera and battery.
I'm thinking about four phones in this order:
1. Samsung Galaxy S7/S7E
2. Nexus 6P
3. iPhone 6S Plus
4. LG G5
>>53622598
What do you want of a phone?
Better camera , specs, or style
>>53622856
All three.
>>53622598
>If you guys had to buy a new phone, what would you buy?
A $20 drug dealer phone since I have no friends.
So... I'm planning to switch to Linux from Windows because my laptop is shitty lag on Windows.. Can I get some recommendations what Linux Distros should I switch on? Something that is also good for surfing, video editing, playing video games, coding ,and anything just like a normal OS but I want it to be Linux. Thank you Anons.
>Haven't used linux but I think I need a lightweight one
Even the accused KDE and unity are lighter than windows. Go for linux mint
Every net install distro with wm only. Actually I'm running fedora with i3 and it runs great.
>>53622587
No, go ubuntu with cinnamon.
Unless you want a distro that is ubuntu is everyway then go to xubuntu like a good retard.
Ask a former applecare tech support guy anything.
Worked for over a year doing tech support for both OSX and iOS.
Ask away /g/ents.
Pic related... My face after every other call.
>>53622485
How frequent is that "My MBP makes a chainsaw noise" problem?
>>53622526
Not very...and were not gonna help unless they buy applecare anyway... Unless it's new.
What was the most frustrating experience you had?
What does /g/ think of CentOS?
>>53622408
who cares? what does centos think of /g/?
my university uses it on all linux machines, thats about all i know of it.
ubuntu master race
it's free redhat. Gets used all the time for servers so you can find decent documentation.
Configuring the network is so much easier than debain/ubuntu, like holy shit is debian annoying with that
Everyone is stuck on 6 because people are used to it and the scrub indians that over-provision their servers can't use cpanel on 7.
other than that, yeah kinda normal linux distro

>>53622402
its open source but is it free software
>>53622523
I know that there's a difference but have you looked at the definition lately? It's nearly the same.

>>53622402
I did some digging so you don't have to.

Is the 3d printing meme dead, or does it still have potential?
What are industry changing aplications of 3d printing?
>>53622384
>>53622384
It is still very much alive. HP has tech that can deliver on the hype, but they could fuck it up.
A fucking big one is production of one off precision investment casting molds. It's like printing in metal, but with god tier quality.
This could destroy the entire industry dedicated to making molds for jet turbine blades.
>>53622384
Dead as the color television fad.
house use its still a few years out, the machines are un friendly enough and good material is expensive enough to put any normal person off.
that said, if you work in 3d, or are any hobby where rapid prototypes make sense, either as a working model or an end product, this shit is fucking great, and home printers are as cheap as 350$

Why can't I just have a computer that doesn't suck?

Confirmed for stealing "opinions" from Windows shills on this site and never having actually tried Linux.
>>53622067
HAHAAHAHAHAHAHA
>>53622014
>buggy garbage
have you ever fucking used linux
it's godly
And borders too.
I'm trying to make my windows 10 looks a little more like linux.
Why don't you just install linux?
>>53621694
I need windows for work (i work from home).
And linux does not run my games.

That guy is working for a blockchain project run by big banks. Take what he says with a grain of salt.

Is upgrading to win 10 worth it? I'm on xp atm.
>>53621171
No. Do NOT upgrade to Windows 10 unless you want to be spied on.
Do NOT listen to people here claiming that there are programs to block the spying either, they are SHILLS. There is no way to completely stop the spying.
Either stay on XP or switch to Linux if you want a more modern OS.
>switch to linux
I want something with good driver support, thanks.
OP I'd recommend ignoring this fedora wearing autist >>53621199
There is literally nothing wrong with Windows 10
