>>53483234

>buying a 1920 x 1080 monitor and replacing it with my my 1680x1050 monitor
>>53483234
I went from 1680x1050 60hz to 1980x1080 144hz
Really only noticed the better colours and the higher refresh rate, the higher resolution really didnt change that much
Especially if u have a bad pc its not worth it
What does /g/ think about modular phones?
>>53483171
Are they a thing yet?
>>53483201
project ara getting released this year, probably will be.
>>53483171
More expensive, bigger, heavier, more likely to fly into pieces if it hits something. I can see how it would interest nerds who grew up upgrading their PCs (I'm one of them), but personally not very interested for the same reason I don't care about upgradeable laptop parts.
>there are people on this board rooting for the botnet RIGHT NOW
>>53482915
I have problems with other human beings knowing things about me. I have no problems with an AI knowing things about me. I, for one, welcome our AI overlords.

>botnet
clearly this word lost its meaning long ago, but it has reached another level thanks to faggot OP
>>53482915
shut the fuck up, you ignorant shithead. go live under a rock if you're so damn scared of google knowing what porn you jack off to, jesus fucking christ.
notice how it's always these NEET fuckers who go on about the 'botnet'.
I've never met another IT pro with this level of unfounded paranoia.

>still using the Google Play Services dependant Official Youtube App, the one that can't play videos in the background, can't save videos and is part of the Google Botnet.
>not using the botnet-free NewPipe Youtube player for Android, that can save videos, play in the background, doesn't need any Google Play Services nor a Google Account. And above all that, it's open source.
I found it on a thread on /g/, just like this one. The app is really good,...
Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
If I do have an account, does it have an option for displaying suggested/subscribed to videos?
>>53482876
Yeah I like it, I just wish it had a few more features. If there was some way to get search suggestions, and some way to mark/favorite/ videos for easy access later, I wouldn't need the normal youtube app at all.
>>53482876
I'm fine with not logging in to it.. but at least let follow channels or something.
also
> the one that can't play videos in the background
the youtube background play xposed module thing is way comfier than newpipe's desu familia

>>53482682

?
>>53482327
I said it doesn't enforce it. If you delete the S you'll be on the HTTP site without any encryption.

how to recharge a fully depleted lion battery?
such as battery being at 0% in a device and powering on the device after a few days and the battery shows 2-3% and the device shuts down again
how to recharge a battery in that state?
>>53482238
You plug it into a charger and charge it to 100%. Are you dim?
plug in cable
simple as that
I don't see your problem here
Voltages at around ~60 - 80% are healthiest for long-term use
bye
>>53482238
just give some water to the poor lion he'll be up and running again

How the fuck do you organize your Java GUI code?
Writing every button, label, panel and so on in one method makes everything such a mess.
Is it bad practice to split your GUI into several JPanel classes?
>>53481881
>How the fuck do you organize your Java GUI code?
By using Qt instead of Swing
>Is it bad practice to split your GUI into several JPanel classes?
It's bad practice to use Swing.
(Qt Jambi - Qt for Java)
i recommend to use the MVC-pattern or the MVP-pattern to seperate your GUI from the rest.
I can't see any reason not to split your GUI into several JPanels. make sure, every GUI-based class is inside a gui-named-package to achieve a readable structure.
Try looking into how Scene2D organizes stuff.
Following this guideline I would create a stage and then add actors (panels, buttons, anything) to it and go from there
A new Stupid question threads has been requested. So here it is.
What "alternative" git hosts are there?
I need somewhere to host a morally ambiguous project. I know of neetcode and gitgud already. Ideally, signup would be by pubkey only, no need for email.
Pic related: what my uni would say if they found out I was writing such a project.
What's a good encrypted mail host that works with Thunderbird (I don't know shit, I'm just trying into security so maybe it's incompatible)
Alternatively, what's the best Thunderbird replacement that would be more "secure"?
>>53481873
You shouldn't trust or rely on the mail host to manage encryption, do it at the client level with enigmail or other such plugin, or even manually with GPG.
It's the future now why don't we have free infinite energy? My lox is gonna go bad.
>>53481739
We do, it's the Sun.
>>53481739
oil/power companies get the FBI to raid anyone pursuing free energy solutions
if they can't meter it they go out of business
>>53481756
I don't have a long enough extension cable. Maybe if I double them up? I hope that works, the UPS powering the WiFi just died.
