Hi /g/,
I want to invest into some decent speakers, I'm also a tech illiterate.
Help, please.

Location?
Better pick the nearest good vendor in your area, because everyone can build good speakers if he wants to. Same applies to instruments and other music equipment.

Since Newegg is a scam now, where do you go to buy hardware? I've just been hitting up Amazon, myself.

Quite a number of sites. Komplett, Dustin, Digital Impuls, Proshop. There used to be other stores and sites too, but like most things these days, the big just got bigger, and the smaller shops went away.

how is newegg a scam?

>>58059431
OP pic is what happens if you try to return a motherboard or CPU. they'll jam a fucking screwdriver into it and send it back claiming bent pins.
I had this happen to me personally a few years ago. Just do a search for "bent pins newegg" on any search engine. Hell even reddit alone gets dozens of results.
Also every single graphics card I've bought from them since the radeon 5770 has had hardware problems. I really should've learned my lesson after the first three.
How do you clean your computer? Are you an absolute mad man and do it with a vacuum cleaner?

IRC: #/tpg/ on irc.rizon.net
Other business laptops are also welcome in /tpg/ (e.g. Dell Latitude/Precision, HP EliteBook/ZBook).
----
If you're looking for purchase advice, READ THE BUYERS GUIDE FIRST. Then post, stating budget and requirements (e.g. size and performance).
Don't buy anything OTHER THAN T, X AND W/P SERIES if you want the Real ThinkPad Experience™
Recommended models:
T420 - 14", normal size
X220 - 12.5", ultraportable
----
Why ThinkPad? (also applies to other business laptops)
>Used machines are plentiful and cheap.
>Excellent keyboards - tactile feel and quiet.
>Great durability: chassis uses a magnesium rollcage for structural integrity, with high quality plastic body panels.
>Utilitarian design: e.g. indicator LEDs, 7 row keyboard layout on older models.
>Docking stations that easily turns your laptop into a desktop.
>Easy to repair, upgrade and maintain thanks to readily available service manuals for every model. Spare parts are easy and cheap to obtain.
>The best trackpoint (that red thing in the middle of the keyboard). Great for those who type a lot or hate swiping their fingers all over a touchpad.
>Excellent GNU/Linux & *BSD support.

my galaxy s6 charges very fast compared to every other phone ive ever had when plugged into the wall, i believe it has usb 3.0 or something
now which piece is making it charge fast? it can't just be the phone, because it won't charge as fast in the car, so it's either the detachable microusb-usb wire, or the actual plug that goes into the wall?
is there a way to get this fast charging in a car? or is the only thing that matters in a car charger the amperage (eg 2.4a power output on x car charger compared to 3.1a on y charger)

I just got enough money to get a GTX 1070. Now the questions is, should I?
My initial goal was the GTX 1060 but some of you guys made me also consider the RX 480. The 1070 averages at 530 euro in my country with the 1060 and the 480 averaging at about 360 euro. That's That's a 160 euro difference. Is the 1070 worth it in terms of performance, or maybe I should save some of my money to get some more upgrades for my PC?
I want to buy new with warranty because last time I got a gpu from eBay used, it started acting up, overheating and crashing my computer with the slightest load, even with thermal paste/heatsink replacements. I could wait for Vega or the RX 490 but I'd like to enjoy some games this holiday season, unless there is a very specific upcoming product that matches my budget and will offer a significant performance boost.

I bought a drug-dealer scale and went to target and weighed out all of the booster packs because the difference between the holographic cards and the rare cards is like 0.02 grams. Have you ever wondered why you never got good cards out of booster packs you would buy at certain stores? Because they did the same thing to all the boxes.we stole all the booster packs too, easily stole $500+ in yugioh cards and sold them on forums for more

Thinking of getting my very first chinkphone. My last two phones were a Moto G and a Samsung Galaxy Rugby pro. I'm ready for something much, much better.
At the moment I'm with AT&T but I'm thinking of switching to Verizon. I've read the sticky, done a little research, and I think I know what I want, but I want to hear what you /g/uys recommend before I buy anything.
My frontrunners right now are the Xiaomi Mi5 and the Redmi Note 4. Is Xiaomi really memefone or are they decent? Is there anything else I should consider?
