>/g/ Approved brands:
* Nexus because of updates, unlocked to carriers, and good value
* Samsung because of pure performance even despite touchwiz, also best cameras
* Motorola for being near stock, good quality. Customer support isn't what it was.
* LG for still offering removable batteries and SD card slots
* Oneplus if you want decent phones, but be aware they have a bad reputation for support
* Sony for offering good performing phones, great quality, dev support. Not so available in the US.
Looking to get my first smartphone (been using old ass phones for the last few years) and was thinking on spending up to 200€, any good suggestions?
I'm from Portugal but wouldn't mind shipping from outside
also my Courrier is offering me a Vodafone Smart Ultra 6 for 130€ because I've been using them for over 10 years, but I have no idea if that phone's any good, nor if it's a good price for it
Help me choose a phone (AUD$)
>LG G4 $550
>Oneplus 1 $419
>Oneplus 2 $550
>Oneplus X $380 (if white) $415 (if black)
Which is the best value for money which will still be an upgrade from a Galaxy S4?
>>51673828
Looking the phone up atm, the specs seem good for that price but let me watch some review vids

>>51673873
Spring for the Oneplus 2, it's better than the G4 by a decent margin
Oneplus 1 > oneplus x, the X is lacking a lot of features
Arduino or raspberry pi, /g/? Which one should I get? Someone with both can tell some experiences?;

Finally got a replacement for my old Sata2 SSD from 2009.
Will this last me another 6 years?
>>51673417
Pic related, old SSD.
After some 30 TiB writes over 6 years, it's still working flawlessly. Considering that it was a second generation SSD, it should have failed 5 years ago, according to 'the popular opinion about SSD reliability'.
>>51673449
Correcting that.
About 80 TiB and 50000 power on hours.

I like how the industry standard disk benchmarking program was created by a massive waifufag otaku and has anime all over it.
I need help, I think my touchpad is broken. When I click to open a new tab in chrome it opens 4 tabs at the same time, when I click the explorer icon it opens lots of windows. Anyone knows what is it?

>>51673416
>touchpad
That's the problem
>>51673483
It has trackpad aswel, but I barely use it.

You have to be seriously mentally retarded to not see how badly written this article is. also how it intentionally avoids to state the point it wants to state -because it knows it's false and illogical - and so just lets it be implied from context.
We've known forever that e-cigs are not 100% healthy.
They are still way healthier than normal cigs.
nothing this article says is new, just so placed to confuse and misguide the reader.

I'd like to talk about LVM encryption and replacing TrueCrypt.
>>51673038
>>I'd like to talk about LVM encryption and replacing TrueCrypt.
fun fact: Debian doesn't seem to work if you use manual partitioning to try and use full-disk encryption *without* LVM. Something gets set up wrong and it won't unlock the disks properly at boot.
>>51673120
yeah that sucks, Debian also doesn't allow you to FDE one partition, it needs the entire drive to do it
>>51673195
I just let it do its LVM thing on the boot drive and then once it boots I encrypt the rest of my drives how I want. Debian's a pain sometimes but at least once it's set up it never breaks. more than I can say for some distros.
Why aren't you using a True Free OS like BSD instead of GNU/Linux, which is only free as long as you obey Stallman, /g/?

>OSX is a BSD
nice meme
I'm hoping someone can help me this.
I've been trying to create a crypto softraid live USB of OpenBSD, so I could have some neat encrypted portable UNIX ready for use, but for some reason the installboot part just will NOT work. It will not install the bootloader to the USB drive and it also won't boot. What gives?
can this run an fx 8320 and hd 7970?
>>51672774
Yes.
Yeah, you're good.
>>51672774
No, AMD recommends 500w for the 7970, but your CPU is pretty high TDP too, coupled with a few devices and PSU aging you're going to hit the limit very fast.
What does /g/ think of the Note 5?
Idk I like it. I have an S6, everything kicks ass except battery life.

MIT drop out Jeremy Rossmann inn a span of a few years creates the MAKE school. Something he calls a college alternative, an "anti-college."
The School ins't based off tuition, but off the students salary. The more successful the students are in the field the better for the college.
They focus on students that want to create and have an idea on what they want to make. With a 10% acceptance rate making them one of the most competitive school in the U.S.

Is this form a college going to trend?
