Heaters are technology. It's cold as fuck outside but this little radiator keeps my virgin cave nice and toasty.
Pros:
Easy to move around
Doesn't make a sound
Low power
Doesn't fuck with my allergies or dry out the air like the central heating does
Programmable thermostat and timer
Cons:
Takes a while to warm up the room
Not good for large spaces
What does g use?

These days they learn python. If you ever get to use a super computer for scientific purposes it's mostly only python and Fortran

Has anybody here ever calibrated their monitor properly? What sort of screen, and what sort of a difference did it make for you?
Scored a Spyder5Express during Black Friday and I've just spent the past few days learning how to use it with DisplayCal and HCFR.
Screen in question is a 6-7yo 50" Changhong plasma which was a hand-me-down from my parents when i moved out.
Honestly I couldn't believe the difference a proper calibration made - my screen was way too bright and red. Everything just seems natural now.
Excuse the blog post but it's a subject I never see here and I'm pretty chuffed atm

i try to stay away from it now adays because screen tech is just a money-sink rabbithole that you really don't want to pursue.
the more i read about screen tech the more problems i would notice in my monitors that never went away, or you end up trading one "problem" for another problem win buying a new one.
>>
just buy a good dell monitor and call it a day
>>
>>57922634
Overall it's fine if the display has some form of hardware correction.
If you have to get into correcting it in LUT then you're fucked for compatibility.
Overall it's worth it, but many monitors now have a decent delta.

ahh conflicting opinions. you think the bootloop issue and battery isn't that bad then? it's also a fair bit more expensive than the moto g, but it could be better for the later years. i mean it's an investment, but if it is substantially better specs-wise, and with more regular updates, i'd definitely considerr it.
>>
>>57920814
Closest would be the Redmi 4 Prime, its just slightly smaller and has an extra GB of ram, almost no chinkphones come with amoled displays and those who do are either underwhelming or really expensive, i dont see the point of them as all they offer is being more visible in sunlight and innacurate/saturated "vibrant" colors at the cost of draining more battery if your video/game/wallpaper is too colorful and possible screen burn-in after 3 or so years.
Are you >>57910718 ? If so then just buy a Moto G4 or shell out extra monies for a Moto Z Play, that one has amolel display, good specs, all the features of the A5 plus gyrometer, much better camera and is known for having good battery duration, it is also getting Nougat on december 28 or mid january like most other motorola phones.

Hey, looking to get a new phone for my mother
USA, Verizon, A good camera, as well as good speakers are important, the budget is 350$, she has small hands so nothing bigger than 3" across. Thanks in advance.

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.

I want to have a home server to deploy test web applications on and host my dev portfolio
Is there any benefit for me in buying a raspberry pi 3 for 40€ if you can get a 7 year old laptop for the same price, including a fucking monitor?
92 Posts / 9 Images

>>
>>57921246
Yep
The Raspberry is space-saver, doesn't heat up that much (compared to a 7yo laptop), doesn't consume so much power and doesn't need a fucking monitor (who fucking needs a fucking monitor if deploying web apps? jesus)
Also, you can do a lot of pretty neat stuff with a Pi, something you can't do with a laptop.
IMO, everybody should have at least one of those beasts at home
>>
>>57921246
Lower power usage maybe? I'd be a lot more willing to leave a raspberry pi server on 24/7 than a laptop.
But in terms of value that laptop is probably better than the raspberry pi.
>>
>>57921246
You could get a few years of professional VPS hosting for 40€ that will have a better connection, peering to the public, and reliability. It's your portfolio, take it seriously.
