Are the m40x a meme? Because I'm about to fall for it.
>>52216042
Not any more of a meme than the 50x, if you have a good deal on it then it's not a bad buy
IS the xiaomi line still the best cheapest IEM you can get?

Why would anyone want to buy or use ThinkPads?
>Incredibly overpriced when new
>Shitty screens
>Poor battery life
>Comes with clunky Windows as standard, can't opt out
>Terrible touchpad with no buttons
>Heavy
>Plastic chips and cracks when dropped
>Speakers are unusable
sage.
>Incredibly overpriced when new
Everyone who shills for them on /g/ buy them used
>Shitty screens
Debatable
>Poor battery life
Thats because the battery is small as fuck
>Comes with clunky Windows as standard, can't opt out
You can install whatever OS you want
>Terrible touchpad with no buttons
Your picture literally has buttons
>Heavy
Not really
>Plastic chips and cracks when dropped
and the roll cage on the inside protects the components
>Speakers are unusable
Most laptop speakers suck
>with no buttons
idiot
but yeah the trackpad is kind of shitty
Under the desk or on the desk?
And why?
Under the desk. Short power cables and risk of falling.
>>52345282
There is a downside to having a computer on the desk, and that is less room and more noise (in most situations). Under the desk or behind the desk gives more deskroom.
>>52345282
For airflow on the desk
For sane people and the desk being usable as desk (work and not having to worry about spilling shit) it goes under

Buying anything other than an iPhone is a reactionary act: you are choosing not to buy an iPhone for some reason (spoken or unspoken): either because you hate Apple, or are trying to save money, or harbor philosophical beliefs of what your technology should allow you to do, etc. No one chooses to buy an Android or what have you (obviously). There's always some psychological turmoil lurking just beneath the surface of that decision.
But not just at the time of purchase. No! Then you constantly need to bother your friends and family about how XYZmessenger is way better than iMessage (please use it, guys?). Or that customizable widgets are totally worth the sociological ostracism, that's why you bought a phone right? To customize the icons. So cool you guys. You're isolated in a cul-de-sac of your own making, but at least you can pretty it up. Constant, ongoing psychologically-draining drama basically.
Buying an iPhone, by comparison, has no shadowy subtext. iPhone is synthesis, anything else is antithesis
Counterpoint: it's just a phone.
>>52343519
If you view it as just a phone you would by the shittest model. If you buy it as a smart phone you buy it as a status symbol, and no matter how 'flashy' your android phone might be, people will still think you're poor.
There are much cheaper android phones, good for burners, etc. Not sure why somebody would buy a non-iphone for the price of an iPhone though, as iPhones have been unanimously rated as the best smartphones on the market, every year since release.

Holy fucking shit, I am so sick of seeing these responsive design in your face fucking websites that run like shit on high end hardware.
Heres a list of what im talking about:

+ Outlook mail, holy fuck is there a worse email client? I have to use this POS for university
+ Every fucking blog/tumblr/portfolio
When the fuck did simplicity become outdated? Why the fuck do some of these sites not even allow me to get the desktop version on my phone, instead forcing me to use the slow ugly responsive design version?
These are examples of perfect websites (some modern and some old design), they all load quickly, render quickly, and everything is intuitive.

WEB DEVELOPERS, GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER!
You need to realize that you can make a very nice looking website without disabling my scroll setting, adding unnecessary animations, loading a shitload of images, taking over 10MB for a few paragraphs, etc.
>>52337569
>high end hardware
They run perfectly smooth on my Core M machine. You must be having like 1-2 GB of RAM.
>>52337569
>When the fuck did simplicity become outdated
You don't understand, desktop programs are slowly getting deprecated, with a few exceptions for professional ones.
For most ordinary computing tasks, web apps running in the browser are pretty much the future.
What you're asking for is similar to: why did humans complicate their lives with cars, when stage-coaches were just fine? Urban life based on oil just made everything so complicated. We could have just kept on using horsepower to travel from one point to another.
>>52337662
No. What OP is describing is like the horrendous flash websites in the early 00's and the terrible GeoCites sites of the 90's.

Good first watch?

Very much.
Amazing quality for the price.
Slightly bigger then the regular SARB models though (39.5 vs 38).
itt we post our cpu history
amd cpu's:
>fx 8350
had it overclocked to 4.4ghz. it was truly a house fire but it overclocked like a champ.
>phenom II x4 965
overclocked to 3.8ghz and ran nice and toasty but the thing was a beast.
>amd 4800+
i simply loved that processor. raped everything intel had to offer prior to the c2d's. i actually used it on my gentoo machine back in the day.
>amd 3500+
at stock speeds it was faster than intel extreme p4. the thing was a beast. had it in my gaming rig with a 6800gt
intel cpu's:
>i7 6700k
my current processor. runs like a champ and plows through everything i throw at it. overclocks so well it takes the fun out of it. runs a lot cooler than my previous 4790k did. 61c with linx.
>i7 4790k
very beefy processor and destroyed everything. wasn't great at overclocking though. at 4.4ghz it would hit 82cwith linx.
>i5 4670k
had it overclocked to 4ghz and would only hit 75c in linx. was a beast of a processor.
>i5 3570k
had it overclocked to 4ghz and wouldn't go above 55c in linx. wasn't much of an upgrade over sandy.
>i7 2600k
absolute beast of an overclocker. had it clocked at 4.5ghz and didn't go above 60c intel burn test. face raped everything out there. intel has never released a true upgrade to this and the 2500k because of their overclocking performance.
>i5 2500k
had it overclocked to 4.2ghz and didn't go above 55c intel burn test. is an amazing overclocker and ahead of its time in performance.
>i7 980x
it destroyed everything out there in compile times with gentoo. was a decent overclocker.
>q9450
was such a great processor intel discontinued it shortly after release and replaced it with the "q9400." the q9400 came stock at the same frequency, 2.66ghz, but offered half the l2 cache as the q9450. 6mb vs 12mb. .
>e6600
the processor that faced raped amd. amazing overclocker. had mine at 3.2ghz. it plowed through everything with ease. paired it with a 8800gts and ddr2 800 @ 933mhz.
why did you go through so many cpus
>>52336210
i like screwing around with hardware?
k6-2 300 mhz - hated it every day and wished i could afford a real pentium 2 450 mhz or something nice.
2.4B northwood pentium 4 - raped and pillaged all of the villages
amd 3620 llano apu - cheap quad core i never should have bought but it was a cheap HP machine and i still use it occasionally to game away from home. not with the apu obviously.
amd bobcat core apu in a laptop - absolute dog shit but would play ut99 and ut2k4 on the go which is all i cared for
amd 4500m - would actually play skyrim on medium and pretty much any game up to 2007 on med-high
i5 4440 - yet another too cheap to pass up purchase. i keep trying to justify a 4790k but i can't. i'll just spend more money on my next gpu instead.
Is Computer Science a good degree?
>>52334256
and how full of shit is >>>/r9k/25620880
bumping for pls help
>>52334256
>Is Computer Science a good degree?
Yes, it is a good degree. However CS is incredibility saturated with new kids thinking they can be the next Zuckerberg or create the next Reddit. When you get this degree and look for a job ask yourself a these things:
>What do I want to do?
This is something you can be asked in any high paying job such as Google, Apple, etc. Many people don't have the answer to this or at least a proper one. A common answer is "I want to program computers" But no fucking shit, that's why you got the degree. Find something you're passionate about in CS.
>What do you want to fix?
A good way to get started in Computer Science even outside of college is asking yourself this question. I find it helpful to find something that needs to be changed, something that you'll like to see and then do it. There's always a problem that needs to be fixed whether it's something small or something on a large scale
Lastly you should not wait to get a degree to do something, start now. That's the best way to get ahead of the game.
Does anyone have that video of Linus from Linus Tech Tips freaking out and breaking things? I never saw the video, but someone posted something about it a few days ago, and I forgot to bookmark the post.
>>52333319
he looks like a fudge packer
Google Linus drop tips
Search "linus asus ces 2016" but be forewarned: language
He destroyed a laptop/external video card solution and an external monitor at asus' own kiosk at the tradeshow
Whatever meager fame and riches the internet brought him has finally gone to his head
