This, also either your display has broken or it's not connected correctly to the motherboard

Guessing from the acer logo, glossy finish and the fact that it has a dedicated GPU by the nvidia sticker probably being "cheapest shit possible" made it do this.

Your joke isn't funny. Sorry.

Service providers? You mean ISPs?

You have like one or two controlling your local area at any given time. You don't have a choice. It's them or nothing.

>>61239077

Fuck, forgot the topic name. was asking for Cellphone service providers.

Come on now.

>>61238917
Well, retarded mods let Chink Shopping threads go, and a bunch of other consumer-related shit, so I guess the term "Technology" is super broad at this point.

>>61238628
you're mom

I had a provider which throttled YouTube once which is a fucking scam since it's one of the few websites that can actually make use of a high bandwidth.

>>61238628
work good for me.
I'm not a burger tho, must be a bottleneck somewhere

I'd use one if all the offerings didn't seem shit. IIRC there are only few brands which offer replaceable batteries in the first place. I can't believe people even buy the popular brands in light of that criterion alone.

>>61238610
That's exactly why I made this post. I was leaning heavily toward Trackr because of the replaceable battery but reviews seem to say they don't work well.

Tape a tablet to your arm and use remote desktop software, dumbfuck.

I think I've seen a few monocular lately intended for motorcyclists that could fit your need. Otherwise wearble computer stuff is usually considered military grade for some reason and aren't avaible for the general public.

No, I mean something like glasses, but not some fancy google glasses device, just for display projection from another device. I just want to be able to read/write while on a walk.

Sure, it's fine. I run it on a VM, and it seems to do most or all the things MS-DOS did. That said, I hope you have hardware that'll work with it, and the floppies you need, 'cause I had an old PC that looked like that, and it had no hard drive. Everything had to be done via floppies. For that matter, what would you be using it for? Not like DOS did much, at least by today's standards.

well.

>>61238569
I have a usb floppy drive for the pc and a few empty floppy disks. I do have a hard drive for that machine. I might be using DOS to just fuck around and mess with it.

kill yourself

Get an internship, do some work/experiment outside of class with tech that interests you.

Don't be our current interns that don't even know what load balancing is and take 3 months to do what only takes 2-3 weeks.

intern from day one even if you know shit-all, you'r expected to know shit all

have side projects, a varied portfolio might be good to show off

This isn't your tech supppet. Call customer service.
