Can we have a moment of silence for the loss of our beloved office suite that was faithful and true for so many years. R.I.P. 2010
>>53304864
ok moment of silence is over, does anyone else agree that 2013 and beyond is absolute trash in comparison to the perfection of 2010?
>>53304864
2003 was better
jokes aside, I tried LibreOffice again last month. It's pretty good now, but I have no excuse to use an office suite.
>tfw you used to be able to just put the serial number in and it worked
Will leaving a laptop plugged in all the time kill it's battery?
>>53304616
Eventually the battery stops holding a charge worth a damm yes. If the battery is removable, take the battery out while plugged in. The charger the laptop came with should be enough to power the laptop with no battery even if screen is 100% brightness and you're doing heavy CPU work.
If it is non removable, whelp, thats on you. Dont charge over night.
>>53304631
false
>Having a battery fully charged and the laptop plugged in is not harmful, because as soon as the charge level reaches 100% the battery stops receiving charging energy and this energy is bypassed directly to the power supply system of the laptop
>>53304652
>Dont charge over night.
Why would that matter? The battery should stop charging at 100%
Hi /g/, just read about the formerly-known-as freebsdgirl. I was wondering if there are any other such fine personalities involved in tech who seem to really understand social issues at a deep level and have a cultivated and measured perspective on the tech community. Thanks.

Is he right /g/? Are IT "specialists" literal human waste?

I guess nobody cares?
DESIGNATED
SPECIALIST
STREETS
I don't know that a specialist is and I don't want to watch this faggots video.
I'm sure they CAN suck your dink, but they likely won't.
Is this still the best mobile plan in the US?
If you have google voice or some other SIP number, fuck yes.
If no then 100 min is really measly. But we're on /g/ so nobody calls you anyway.
>>53302693
how is it that they can offer unlimited text and web but limit talk to 100 minutes?
Nope, boost mobile will give you unlimited everything + 2 gigs of high-speed data for 30 bucks a month. In addition you can get up to 3 gigs more of high-speed data if you're a good goy and pay your bill on time.

what does /g/ think of discord gaymen advertisement aside?
>>53302103
It's gucci, if only it was open source.
>>53302272
agree, it's really nice to use as a voip compared to other alternatives
Discord is the shit. Switched from Skype to this and have not experienced one problem with it.

>Screen cracked (image related)
I've literally had this shit happen to me, I've even dropped phones before and never had a screen crack so to have one crack on its own with no pressure or anything is just the weirdest shit ever. What could have even caused it?
>>53302067
What the fuck? Looks like something pointy and heavy fell on it.
High pressure due to pleb emanations from your pores. Better to buy a good phone with pleb-proof glass.
So /g/, why are you still using civi tech? Military grade hardware is the way to go.

I don't tend to drop my laptops because I look after my shit.
Touch screen on laptops is a meme
And one of my laptops has a backlit keyboard, the other has the thinkpad light.

Maybe if you're a retard and constantly bang your head against your laptop, but no sane person would pay for that outdated piece of shit

Ubuntu runs bad, install xubuntu through the terminal, it should run good
What do you guys think of having an ereader instead of thousand books ? which one to buy? Kindle or Kobo? Also ereader general

Redpill me on PayPal. Should I or shouldn't I use it? Are there better alternatives?
fuck off
>>53298963
Been using it for years, don't have my credit card attached to it though. I do have my bank account attached to it. Haven't ran into issues as of yet.
>>53298963
Ever since this retard fucking commercial I can't take paypal seriously anymore. Literally one of the dumbest commercials I've ever seen.
