The mouse.
Mousecucks are scum of the earth. I hate knowing all the keyboard shortcuts and still having to rely on a mouse for 3% of my computing. utterly uneconomical. Mice should've been invented as a tool for le vidya games, not for basic UI use.

Mousefag here. I wish I wasnt. This is just how I learned. I wish I learned the classic techniques.
Exhaust vents on the bottom of laptops.
Speakers on the backside of mobile phones.

Wouldn't have said that in 1997, but yeah it was pretty fucking stupid

What is that red button between G,H and B?

not that.

That would have meant stunting the computer market by huge margins and you know it.

Trackball, it's like a mouse

Every time I see your name I'm surprised anyone even picked that idea up from that thread.
Did you just forget it on or something?

But only micro sd cards fit into my ds cart slot.
Therefore it's not dumb tech at all
>>54740489
miniSD does as well.
>>54740272
Actually it's a tittlemouse aka a track point.
Anything apple really. I used to own an iPhone 6S Plus btw.

Most overrated fucking laptops ever, and I'm typing this on one. I've never had a good laptop though, they're all shit. Until someone comes up with something that's:
>fast
>doesn't overheat
>portable
>as easy to do work on as a desktop
laptops are always gonna be shit. Thinkpads are better than most laptops, but not by a lot.
>>54739644
Windows 95 was my first OS, I can't help but be a mousefag. Even though my command-line skills are decidedly above average, I still find myself seeking GUI tools for a lot of things.

Post bait every day...
>>54739644
Let alone that they forced it onto laptops with the touchpad, which are insanely uncomfortable and counterintuitive. Without them the standard of laptops could be 21:9 screens with just a keyboard attached.
>>54743239

And here I thought what he was calling dumb was the SD card adapter into a USB SD card reader instead of just having a USB microSD card reader.
MTP
>>54743897
SD card adapters are great, why have two USB dongles when you can use an adapter? The adapter is always in the dongle, you only take it out when you use full size SD cards.
>>54741052
The issue with those parameters is that you cannot have all of those at once with current technology. Desktop power requires desktop cooling, so putting desktop power in laptop space makes more heat.
>>54741052
my macbook air does that and lasts me 12+ hours on battery with regular use

GNU plus Linux
>>54744612
That's not a piece of tech, that's only two compponents of a fully functioning operating system.
>>54741420
No problem. Happens.
My old Nokia phone had a mini SD card. It's nearly impossible to find one in 2016.
>>54743897
Even if he was saying that, he'd be wrong. If the USB adapter went straight to microSD, he wouldn't be able to put full sized SD in it.

Music streaming services
Phones without microSD and removable battery
Fingerprint readers

>>54745000
Checked. I'm guessing you have a chrome/netbook?
>>54739615
This is not a macbook anon, you just posted the wrong pic
>>54745000
Fingerprint readers are pretty convenient for me. You'd understand if you ever went anywhere or had guests.
>>54744567
>>54744957
This. The office I work at is all maxxed out MBPs. They just roll in, plug that shit into a thunderbolt display, and start working.
>>54745410
>I can't type a password like a normal human being would
>>54740731
Idk about the other shit, but the wire for the mouse is fucking rad as shit. Shit can last like an hour on a 15min charge. Plug the shit in when you go to bed or leave work, and you're golden. Shit lasts for a long while too before you absolutely have to charge it.
The best part is that when you get a new one you just turn it on and plug it in for a second and it autojoins the bluetooth shit instantly.
Though personally I like having tactile buttons, so.
>>54745451
Nigga you are fucking stupid. There are many times when having a fingerprint reader has helped immensely because I only had one hand free, or needed to do something quickly.
If you think it's stupid, you're probably a NEET and/or a faggot.
>>54744916
Why would you want to fit a full sized SD in it>
Do people even still use them?
>>54745410
>Fingerprint readers are pretty convenient for me.
Fingerprint readers are pretty convenient for other people too, because they're a shitty form of security.
>>54745000
>1366x768 displays
How? Borderless videos on netbooks is quite nifty, would be shit with a 4:3 ratio.
>>54745509
Yup, because they never tested them with 100's of people trying their fingers with one mans 3 fingers as unlock. Yup, and it never worked great. Mhm.
>>54745518
I don't use a netbook for mindless consumption, I use it as a computer.

Are you retarded?
How the fuck are they a "shitty form of security" you retard?
>>54745584
Not him but I had no problem using my 5.5" phone one handed, doesn't make them unnecessary and retarded
>>54745539
Kill yourself.
>>54745539
That's a tablet res too.
Anyways I use tablets/netbooks for media and mindless consumption, there are better alternatives for small computers, like UMPC's, witch I have needed for work.
>>54745539

>>54745620
Doesn't make it any less shit
>there are better alternatives for small computers, like UMPC's, witch I have needed for work
I agree, I've got both a UMPC and a netbook.
>>54745636
I never said that. I simply find it retarded for my device to accommodate media consumption over actually using the device, because that's all 16:9 is good for.

Oh noooo.
>>54745663
Yeah, that's not how fingerprint scanners found on Thinkpads etc work.
>>54745698
They could probably lift your fingerprint from something else and transfer it to the play-doh

>>54745707
Nigger are you stupid? Have you ever used play-doh? Do you know how lifting fingerprints even works?
>>54745707
They wouldn't have to really.
Lift it with some tape, give the tape a dark background (okay, maybe put the tape on the play-doh so it will obscure light) and then place it on the scanner.
>>54745776
Yes and yes

Keyboard shortcuts are prohibitive to use in web browsers, especially pages like, oh, a 4chan thread, with tons and tons of links. Is there even a built-in capability in any browser to hover on an item via keyboard? It's a great thing for things that have useful hover text (like citation links in a wiki or post links on 4chan) and I've never heard of a way to do it via keyboard.
>>54739644
Keyboards are obsolete, mice are the future fag.
I dont even need a keyboard, I have one on the screen now.
>>54745823
well apparently you're just a retard
>>54746177
>Keyboard shortcuts are prohibitive to use in web browsers, especially pages like, oh, a 4chan thread, with tons and tons of links.
That's because 4chan isn't made exclusively for keyboard.
>>54740731
Why did we hate on that battery pack case again?
>>54749337
Lol because it's ugly as fuck and lacks the functionality that other cases have? Dude, use your eyes!
