Budget tech is such a meme. You can only buy shit for little money, that's it. It's demotivational, people should aspire to buy good. By good I don't mean that everyone should be using HD600s but anything below an ATH-M50X is shit and holy fuck those awful microphones... A Blue Snowball runs you like $45, even less if you buy used. Just get that.

That's like $150 or less for something that you don't have to buy again when you have money, and if you can't afford to have $150 peripherals you need to prioritize your shit.

Yeah you keep telling yourself that with your shitty Panasonic headphones..

I think you should both get a life

How do you even disable updates and rom Installation on your phone?

xD

>not owning Beats by Dre
Just admit it, you're not as financially well off as you'd like to be.

I listen to 128 kbps youtube rips with my unequalized HD 800s paired (that word really turns me on) with a Bottlehead Crack tube amp and it sounds good to me and that's all that matters because sound is subjective.

buy it, tablets have a lot of "keyboard cases", some of those are even bearable

>>58049505
I second this.

>>58049505
Hi Chris!

I have one.
I bet its possible through the IFTTT app
There is an alexa skill for "find my phone", that calls your phone, it just rings it though and there is an automated message

I doubt you could make it as easy to use as a speakerphone as you want though, maybe if you're good at programming. I think you can freely make alexa skills if you have the know-how

>>58049486
No idea. The dot is shit in general and half the time requires me to legit scream at it. Its a semi decent bluetooth reciever for my speakers at least.

>>58049486
Both of them are essentially glorified Bluetooth speakers.

>you already have speakers
Get one of the new Chromecast receivers. They're full on botnet, but that makes them cheap and plentiful.

>you don't have speakers or you don't want as much botnet
Something from Sonos. You're literally paying out of your ass but you're getting great home sound equipment with minimal botnet interaction (they follow a lot of Apple's philosophies, including the parts about your data and the cloud).

if i like them then they are a genius
if i don't like them then they are a dumbass

computer genius can actually apply his knowledge

>>58049476
What are some examples of computer geniuses and what did they do? I am genuinely curious and want to read up on this.

Let me ask this, are "providers" or "server owners" of the main routing servers that Comcast/Roadrunner/whatever send your shit to - who are they owned by? How do they make money?

The implementation of the internet is actually very complicated.
It's far too detailed for a 4chan post.

Just notice the name "internet". "inter-network". As in, you're passing things between networks.
Your ISP is a network, which you are connected to. The website or whatever your visiting is on a network.
Your packet will travel through your ISP's network (and possibly through several others) and then make it into the destination network.

>Who maintains these servers?
They're not servers. They're routers.
>Why isn't the internet peer-to-peer?
The internet actually IS peer-to-peer in a sense.
The networks themselves are peers to each other (sometimes).
>Is there role essentially to pull a wire between your house and them
Basically.
>Where does DNS come into play? Is DNS just a thing so you could type in a pretty name?
DNS just takes a human readable hostname, and translates it into an IP address, and possibly vice-versa.
>Do the internet companies do DNS or something else?
Yes, usually.
>How does shttp protect you?
https*. Yes, shit is encrypted.
>how does the server know what the fuck your encrypted message mean?
It's too complicated to describe in a mere 4chan post.

The internet is made up of the networks of the service providers, which provide access to private and business customers.
These service providers exchange the routes to their customers with each other via a protocol called BGP. Other networks than the service provider's then know that to reach your network, they need to send it to your service providers.
This exchange typically happens at Internet Exchange like DECIX in Frankfurt. The ISP rents a place in a rack there, puts a router in it and then makes contracts with other ISPs for BGP peering and connecting them with cables..

SKYNET WILL KILL US ALL
No seriously, fuck AI

>>58049401
Depends what its policies are.

If its goal is to make human life better, then we might survive, but even then it can kill us all.

Remember that game Google's AI played and found the best strategy to win the game is to not play it? What if an AI decides the best way to improve human life is to kill it?

I bet you're one of those people who go out and buy shit not because it's any good, but because all your friends have one.

Yes, framerates over 60Hz are noticeable.
However, G-Sync is just there to lock you into novidia's products.

>>58049239
You've completely missed the point of the question. I'm not asking if a 144Hz monitor is worth it over 60Hz. I'm not asking if G-Sync is better or worse than Freesync. I'm not asking if I should build a rig to get more than 60 fps.

I'm asking does G-Sync make a noticeable and worthwhile difference over plain old V-Sync when the monitor refreshes at 144Hz.

>>58049312
Yes g-sync is better than v sync. Less frame delay.
