I like my Pebble though. It's smart, it's functional, it looks good, and it does everything I want and need it to.

>tfw i was thinking smartwatches and vr will be niche from the very beginning

>>61603413
The reason why most smart watches failed was that lack of the ecosystem. Apple's worked well, it had a huge customer base, which many didn't have. You can say how shit Apple is, but their ecosystem is growing and as it grows it gets better.

>Inb4 isheep
At least they are happy.

>still doesnt work on safari

why is apple so dense?

>>61603287
Because they live in their own little world of digital standards which is subpar in support and the sheeps will sure not mind that. So why should they

Sounds like you're just not suited to deal with technology, kid.

>Returned it the next day
You did good. I tried one in store and am so glad I discarded macbooks in favor of my probook/elitebook years ago.

Currently on a probook 470 and it's so much better than any macbook I've seen on the market.

>Dead simple ui
You've either never used MacOS or never used windows.

Apple tried so hard to be different that you can't even cut and paste files on a mac. It's a gimped piece of shit OS.

Good programmers don't constrain their knowledge limit by choosing what's "worth learning".

All it does is that it shows you are not interested in programming.

>>61603209
I need money, mate. I've been learning C++ for 5 years now and I made few games in it using SDL, SFML and OpenGL so my portfolio is there on GH. But I feel like I should learn FP, however some part of me says "it's not worth it, you can't pay your rents for programming in Haskell".

it's a meme
there are only two paradigms that will remain in future: OO and procedural
there is no need to use anything besides this because either you make software that is based on something in real life (Object-Oriented) or you just tell computer what to do (procedural)
functional programming is more like hobby, funny to use by mathematicians to write useless papers, not really valuable in real life

>>61603170
What the fuck is that image even supposed to convey

>>61603170
What exactly do you expect us to do about them? Its not like we can gather them all in one place and then kill them all.

Is this what your brain is like on /pol/

In all seriousness, though, what's wrong with pandering to the masses? It's not like it affects you in any serious way--at least, getting rid of said "tech tubers" isn't exactly going to solve the problem.

Although it does astonish me that people like LTT can make a living out of piecing together computer parts like legos and calling it "building a computer". The AMD/Intel/Nvidia/Whatever dichotomy is also stupid, since all big manufacturers are bullying their userbase in some gross, irredeemable way.

/g/ hates it because they think it has bloatware
I believe it's better than FreeBSD but inferior to openBSD
Regardless it's better than debian/mint/

>>61603301
Let me guess you can't define what means "better".

>>61603367
tell me 3 reasons why it's not better than Mint/Debian other than muh DE

also APFS supports native full disk encrpytion
>linux
>security

mfw the apple TV unironically has better security than anything linux computer

Apfs is proprietary technology. Only apple Operative Systems can use it. This so obvious no one wasted his time pointing out at it.

Fortunately I have nothing to do...

cute girl

If you want it to just read books, your standard kindle paperwhite will do everything you want and last forever. Yes you can drag and drop pirated books. You can also email them to the Amazon service and they will sync the pirated books across your devices if you don't mind some botnet.
If you want to do other shit with it buy whatever comparable brand that is cheapest.

>>61603591
I came here to say basically this. Just get a paperwhite

>>61603607
The paperwhite is actually annoying in the fact that the new top of the line kindle looks sexy as fuck (but absurdly expensive), but I won't ever have to replace the paperwhite until I smash it or whatever.

>>61602965
I get 32 kb/s so fuck I'm in. Not only that but it goes out constantly.

Spectrum offers 50/5 and 100/10 in my area
I went with 100/10 because 5mbps upload is pathetic in 2017
I support them offering decent minimum speed, though I wish it was cheaper
Such is life in usa

>>61602965
Also Spectrum here. I got 100/10 for $64.99

I don't even need that much but they only offer me 10/1 for $49.99 (lmao)

I used to be the 3/1 ELP but I couldn't handle that shit no more, it was grandfathered in so I can't even go back if I wanted to

All content produced pre-2000 should be seen in CRT, especially in PVM. If you want to see it in a digital display, enjoy your awful aspect ratio and bad refreshrate.

I've never tried them, but everyone keeps shilling them. What's the first thing you guys thought when you got to use them?

>overclocking the 3's, but not overclocking the 7350k

This guy isn't even hiding it anymore

>>61602681
That's because the intel jewpoo will burn down your neighborhood if you overclock it.
