this is legitimately the next step in laptop design. Mark my words, the touchbar is gonna become an industry standard within the next 2 years

My Uncle is giving me this fridge so that I can keep drinks and shit in my room.
How much heat would a fridge like this generate? My room is already pretty warm so I don't want it to become way too fucking hot.

I am gonna post a few more including where I am gonna keep it.
look up the fucken specs of the damn fridge and do the math
I have been resisting with this computer for years:
CPU: Q6660 G0
RAM: 4GB DDR2 Gskill 800mhz
MOBO: GA X38DQ6
GPU (this one got updated a year ago or so): MSI 7850HD Twin Frozr
PSU: Enermax 720W
Im about to add in another 4 GB of ram and I predict and I can resist for at least 2 more years. Hate on me faggots.
>>57841857
I'd still be using my Q6600 if the mobo didn't die on me

I can play any games but im having ram problems in procedually generated games, the loading times are hell tho so I hope 8GB fixes it. It sucks I cant use SSD on this tho.
>>57842011
>It sucks I cant use SSD on this tho
what?
Hey /g/, ultra-plebian at technology at computers here, but figured this is the most relevant place to ask.
Do you guys think this computer could play Sid Meiers Civilization 6 flawlessly on the highest quality graphic settings, or any steam game for that matter?
And if this one can't, is there any laptop that can for under $450?
>inb4 BRO build your own desktop
No space in my room for one, gotta be a laptop.

I know it's a longshot to ask a board on 4chan directly, but what's the best bang for the buck TV for watching movies and anime with my PC? The entire market appears to be revolving about smart functions and how well the amazon and netflix implementation is done and whether it has fucking bluetooth, for fuck's sake. I'm done digging through the marketing bullshit. And no I don't want a fucking housefire phone with my Samsung TV, what is this? McDonalds?
What's the best bang for the buck 1080p 40-50" TV to use with a computer?

>thinking anyone's selling good TVs without social memia and connectivity meme toys

I have a sony 40" KDL40R533C (i think its 510 in us / uk market) that I paid about 240 bucks for in Norway (thats very cheap relatively speaking). Works fine, has 2-3 HDMI in and a USB for hard drive. Playing ps4 and cromecasting and it has built in netflix although i dont use it cuz i already have ps4.
>>57841813
get a laptop with a hdmi out, and ask to test in store models and check out the lag the moving a mouse has.
take note of every model with acceptable lag
then when you get home, look up the contrast ratio on each one.
get the one with the best contrast ratio
Depending on where you live, it may be cheaper to buy from store than online.
>have 3GiB of ram on my phone
>clover somehow keeps refreshing and lose the post that I was writing and the thread when I leave it on background

In addition to using Linux and not using social media and Google, how do you protect yourself?

I already use UE4 for 3D, I want a 2D engine to learn and use with friend.
External Hard Drives
I have never really had a look into them as i stored my stuff on several interal hard drives. Maybe it is better to have a backup at some other place just in case.
enlighten me with your insights. it seems that a lot of ext. hdd have some kind of backup software on them which does not seem very appealing.
are there any brands to avoid?
pic related seems quite solid
>>57841658
Just get an external case with USB 3.0
Then you decide what brand, amount of storage or if the thing inside is an SSD or HDD, also replaceable if it fails.
>>57841658
they all work just fine really
just be ready to replace in 3 to 5 years
i have a toshiba from 2011 that still works, but is slower now, and also will suddenly cease to read when the cable is even slightly bumped.
>>57841658
Just avoid Seagate and you'll be find. WD is good, not sure about any backup software though.
Also, you get what you pay for. Just be prepared to replace after 3+ years.
Can I trust those hong kong sellers?

I want a small sized phone and the z3 compact seems like the best option. The z5 doesn't seem worth it plus the battery life is worse and I have heard lots of complains about overheating. The new X Compact looks too thick.
The hardware is still good. I don't care about the latest shit, this is just good enough and I hate big phones. I also don't want to be seen supporting chinese trash.
>>57841650
Don't risk it. They take used phones that were damaged, or didn't pass QA, repackage them with a new, knockoff screen and case. They're poorly soldered with low end component interconnects. They tend to work well enough for a few months until the cheap components degrade into non-functioning trash, at which point you're far past eBay's buyer protection window.
I have had this exact experience. I got my money back, but only after threatening legal action; which I don't have the time or money to actually act on, but neither do they so they tend not to risk it.
>>57842796
Fuckers. They list it as brand new and unpackeged... shit
What can I do then? where do I get a brand new z3c?
>>57841650
>The new X Compact looks too thick.
A thick phone, you say?
Why is there no desktop thread?
Why aren't you using GNOME /g/?
>>57841646
Because they are against the rules while /guts/ and /bst/ are fine for some reason.
>>57841654
pls post a link to where in the rules it says they aren't allowed
>>57841654
thank the autistic tranny
dont worry he will show up
Last night I wanted to get fucked up enough to not feel feelings anymore- as a result I threw up a mixture of various alcohols and mixers on my surroundings and somehow, my phone. Some of it dried when I blacked out, but when I looked this morning there was still some liquid in the case
There's some "water" damage (indicator next to sim slot is red). The battery drained or it turned off at one point of the night. I was able to charge it (albeit very slowly) in the morning- but the battery drains within minutes. When turned on some app icons & widgets were missing from the home screen. It was able to receive texts- go on FB, go through my gallery etc. I have since removed the SIM, cleaned the phone with Isopropyl Alcohol and blow dried it. Now its in a bag of rice. There's some "water" damage (indicator next to sim slot is red).
I need help senpai. Is there anything else I can do ? Is the phone fucked?
no sympathy here anon
if you're old enough to buy drink, you should know that the best way to put feelings away is to down a few swigs of vodka by itself. anything else and then you end up having to drink too much, filling your stomach
