Worth a shot, what is there to lose? A cheap server? I'd try it

That's fucking smart.

Going to do this as well.

Make sure you put some Titan X's in your bitcoin farmer that you leave. That's the only way this will be worth it.

great thread

I deal with them by doing the same tasks for them time and time again. It's quite frustrating having to "install" new devices for my parents when all it essentially means is inserting the never-changing account and mail server information for whatever e-mail program the device has pre-installed, and possibly downloading an alternative internet browser and possibly a pdf reader, office suite, Spotify and the like, which are all just a few clicks away and doable by illiterate babies.

Then again, I don't mind too much as it's not too frequent. Then again, I do mind when they do purchase their new devices, as they ring me up and demand I'll stop everything and rush for the train station to get there ASAP as these things can never be learned and only a master wizard of computer technology may be able to succeed in "installing" a new device, and it's essential it's done right this second.

Also it bogs my mind how some people have serious troubles opening the settings in a program and fiddle around to see if there's anything that could possibly fix their issue.

And it also bogs my mind how some people become terrified of computers, almost hysterical. They keep phoning me and telling how there was an error message on their screen, but they clicked it away and nothing happened. And I'm supposed to know what it was about since they forgot what it said, and I'm to blame for not having a clue what they're talking about.

Sometimes I feel some people just work on a totally different frame of mind when it comes to anything tech related.

Your whole life is a meme, kiddo. I don't think there is anything you can do about it.

That's what happens when you own a Samsung.

Go your local carrier and ask them.

If all you want is a shitty phone for calls I don't know why you need recommendations.

Almost forgot, the three on the right (except for the silver one maybe?) are all unacceptable however the three on the left look like they might not be compatible with any service providers.

Write it in haytch tee em el and print to PDF in Firefox

LaTeX would probably work, if you feel like learning a whole new tool and markup language.

Is LibreOffice breaking just because of low memory/processor power?

Because people don't even know what color accuracy even means. He'll Android still has no mechanism for color correction via the use of ICCv4 files.

Because it makes fuck all difference.
High bit depth for imagery is like high bit depth for audio. Only really important when processing, and avoiding banding when using high levels of compression.

You don't check your billing statements? What's wrong with you?

And that's a problem why, exactly? Oh, you want it to be automated? Good thing it is! The vast majority of CC fraud is detected by automated systems and blocked before it even hits your account. The small number of cases that slip through, well, that's why you read your statement. You *do* read your statement, don't you?

Also with modern chip card systems, the "credit card info" never actually stays with the merchant, but that's more to let the banks foist the fraud losses off to someone else, it has nothing to do with you, the customer.

I don't hand my card to anyone, don't remember last time I did. Everywhere here in Yurop we have those contactless terminals, I move my card close to it and insert pin if it's bigger purchase.

Is this a mobile server?

>>58675528
It could be if I wanted it to
It's got 32 gigs of ram (the most of any device in my house) and It does everything I need it to no problem.

.pdf will suck on kindle.

Either get the 13 inch Sony reader, or a real tablet.

>>58675285
Get a tablet for PDF because of the slow e-ink screen.
