What is some technology that accidentally caused people to die?

Not directly caused people to die, but leaded gas.

Hey everyone, I'm new here and could use your help. Over the holidays I was gifted an Iphone 5s from a relative, and they told me it needed to be unlocked. They bought it from the Virgin Mobile online store and no longer use it, hence why it was given to me (which is an upgrade from my flip phone).
The phone doesn't have a SIM card in, and I'd like to shop around at different carriers to compare plans and prices. I tried calling Virgin Mobile to unlock it, but according to them they say they have to open an account (so charge me $$$ and put me in a plan I don't want), then assign a phone number to the phone, then troubleshoot it to unlock. Honestly, that sounds like a bunch of bullshit to me - I even told them I want to shop around and look at other networks. I'm thinking for another day I might call them back and threaten to file a complaint with the FCC (according to an AT&T sales rep, a company cannot bind me to them to in order to unlock a phone - not sure how factual that is).
What can I do, /g/? Are third party businesses my alternative? If that's the better route, know of any credible and reliable services? If it helps, I'm in New York, near the Pennsylvania border.
Thanks everyone!

Stop shilling these things.
They're a sub-par ARM chip and a usb port. To do anything fun you'll need to buy modules at an additional cost. What's the point of calling it a $9 computer when you're spending another $50 on modules to do half the shit your pi already does?

You can travel back in time to the year you were born and bring with you 5 examples of modern technology available in 2016 to show to scientists and tech nerds of the past.
What do you bring? If you can't physically carry something you want to show them you can try showing them pictures, videos or whatever.

>My mom's phone.
>My solar watch.
>My pc with my i7 4790k
>Whatever modern weapons the military is currently researching.
You didn't say if I'm aware of this technology or not.
Hell yeah, Timeline.
Good movie.

Teacherfag here. how do I make this game disappear? Blocking the site doesn't work because the little fucks find proxy hosts through google.
/g/ doesn't promote blocking websites or sensorship of any form. Even retarded flash games.
Wait for the fad to die

Do your job of teaching better.
It's 2016. Why hasn't there been a marketable technology for cleaning yourself that doesn't consist of copious amount of water? People spend fucking 25 gallons of water in one shower.
not me. I take baths. :)
>>52516584
>literally bathing in your own filth
>>52516561
since water is so cheap(for now). My roommate did math on how long it would take for a low-throughput shower-head to pay for itself and it was like 2 years at the play we were staying.
Are there any particular Chromebooks that are 100% compatible with Windows 10? I would really like to get a cheap, light, and long-battery-life chromebook for work but need W10 for muh softwarez.
>>52516317
>Windows on chromebook
Get an ideapad or an old PC and install puppy linux.
windows on 16-32 GB SSD will be painful to use
And these things come with a locked bios. You need to do lots of unusual things to remove Chrome Os and install Windows on it.
>>52516317
I've seen vids of people installing windows on chromebooks but they had to then use both an external mouse and external keyboard.
A better approach might be to use chrome remote desktop feature. This will require that you have a 2nd computer running windows set up somewhere like your house and then use your chromebook to remote into it via chrome remote desktop app. For this to work u will need chrome installed + chrome remote desktop app set up on the windows machine. Also this will only work when both machines are connected to the internet and if either connection is slow it can get really laggy. But if the connections are good it's pretty doable. I've remoted back to a mac and a windows machine at my house while using a chromebook at a coffeeshop and I even been able to do things like use photoshop and illustrator that are running on the remote machines etc. It's like your chromebook becomes the joystick controlling the remote computer. It kind of depends on what programs you have to use.
Another option to look into would be trying to install windows in a vm on the chromebook. I haven't tried that yet but i would assume it might be possible. You would have to either set up something like crouton or completely wipe chromeos and install a different linux distro to be able to do this though. Normal stock chromeOS is not going to let you run virtualbox.

I'm at my witts end.
I decided to come here in hopes maybe you guys know what's going on.
What the FUCK is this? i googled it and tried a few things.(one of these included trying to disable the BEX for the game.) and it won't allow me.
I should note I just got a new MB and CPU. Could that be the problem?
Iv'e tried everything from reinstalling the game, closing steam and opening it back up, verifying the game cache, and it just refuses to open now. It used to work on my old hardware setup..
Try playing a different game.
>>52516112
other games have this issue to. This game is just the one I happen to have a problem with right now.
Why does it say "Leading Brand" and "X-Type Software"? Does it say the same when other programs crash? Because the executable is only named UNDERTALE iirc.

>>52516021
>no way to rip it to my phone
You are not trying hard enough.
If you can play it you can copy it.
>>52516564
i dont have an optical drive i wont even be able to play it unless i can find one for sale someplace but out dated tech like that its questionable i usually wouldn't even be buying the cd but they have their own label so the artist keeps most of the money i pay for it
>>52516021
buy the cd, then download a copy

What are your thoughts on Brand loyalty and fanboyism in computer hardware?
