What is /g/s opinion on refurbed electronics?
Specifically laptops.
Good value? Trustworthy?
Was gonna buy a refurbed dell latitude 15 from the dell outlet. Any better trustworthy places? I live on the UK.
The less moving pieces in a refurbished unit, the better chance it'll last a long time like a new unit I'd say.

Would you suggest to avoid HDDs? What about these factory certified refurbs?

>30" 4k is garbage without UI upscaling

Is 1440p ultra-wide the only way to go?
Speak for yourself. I love my 40" 4K.

I still use a 1024x800 vga projector for my entertainment needs

why exactly do you install visual studio?
just install vs code.
its about 100 megs big and has all the features you actually use without all the bloat.
>fast text edtiro
>integrated terminal and output
>integrated debugger extensible by plugins
>git/svn integration
>intellisense also extendable by plugins
why exactly would you even bother with fucking visual studio at this point?
vs code is the best of both IDE and text edtior in one without all the fluff and bajillion features you dont use.

Why do that when he could install emacs

Getting an older monitor for free, which one is better. One is an Acer ET.VX3HP.003 and the other is a Samsung E2320X.
Will just be mostly for watching movies and general browsing.
Inb4 "they're both shit".
They're free, I'm just looking for the best of the two. Know shit all about monitors.
Both 1080 probably tn should be about the same
I realize this isn't exactly the point of the thread but might as well ask here and maybe get some insight on the matter since I don't think this deserves a thread of it's own.
I'm probably going to buy my first console to play a couple exclusives but the thing is: I never had a television. I just never got around to buy one since I use the pc for everything. Do I need to spend a lot if I want a tv literally just to play console games? I don't really want to spend a lot of money since I will use it to play some videogames and that's it. Any suggestions or advice?
Other than "don't buy a console". I just want to play videogames and some don't come out on the pc. They will be pretty cheap on black friday/cyber monday anyway.

As per /g/'s recommendation, paid protonmail is nice, but the complete lack of IMAP/POP is ridiculous.
Anything else hosted in a non-police state?
>>57074748
Startmail is located here in the Netherlands.
Runbox looks like shit, but it's located in Norway.
According to the Snowden sheets the pajeet / American business Zoho isn't compromised yet.

Can't believe I use startpage as my primary search engine, but didn't think to check out Startmail. Thanks.
Also, on the subject of the startpage/mail, how come it's recommend far less than duckduckgo on /g/ considering both companies have the same goal?

you mean you can't simply set the fan to passive mode like you easily can in windows?
what kind of shit tier OS has /g/ been pushing?
>>57075175
Where do you set the fans to passive mode in Windows?
How can I get rid of all the stupid shit I have posted? I have deleted all my social media. what else can I do? Am I too far gone? I only used kikebook.

/g/ - long time /tv/ poster reporting in. After spending the past few years focused on paying off my house, I'm finally in a position to upgrade my A/V equipment. First will be a new receiver. Can /g/ recommend a good 7.1 receiver in the $500-$600 range. Pic is the same model as my nearly 20 year old Denon. Thanks!
If this isn't the most appropriate forum for my post, which one should I try next?
Anyone?
what's wrong with your receiver?
Since Version 3.22 of the gnome-shell wayland has become the default session. Anyone noticed differences? For me the performance seems to have increased immensely. Smoother animations overall and less resource intensive. I'd also like to point out that at this point it seems stable enough to be used as a default session. Anyone different experiences?
>>57074271
I can't take screenshots, I've noticed no performance boost so I just use the X version instead
Does X Wayland work properly?
>>57074836
for me it does. thing is experiences are way different. some get insane performance increases like while others do not.

>>57074178
learning CAD stuff would be cool but there are sites like thinkiverse that have free 3d printable files
i dunno where you live but the US has a lot of Hackerspaces where people can get free access to 3d printers
soldering is super easy. i taught myself very recently and cant believe i didnt learn sooner. if you can hot glue, you can solder. all you do is push a hot iron next to what you want to solder and feed some supercheap solder onto the iron from the other side of the component. thats actually all there is to it
dunno what to say about a rechargeable battery but thats the only thing that doesnt have an entry level solution here
>>57074249
Hi, thanks for the reply. Do you mind telling me how I would learn to make a handheld emulation device> I'm assuming the raspberry pi is the easiest way to do this. I was thinking of the Pi 3 Model B because it's the most powerful of them. I have found a nice 8 inch screen on Ebay, the case I can surely get a company that 3d prints to print it for me, and the buttons I have found on Amazon (didn't make sense to buy a £30 controller just to tear it apart).
What's breaking me is the battery. I would like to seal it up and never have to open it again, but if needs be I would settle with non-rechargeable batters. However, I don't like them because they are a waste and it's expensive to replace constantly.
Do you reccomend any books to use? I prefer them over videos because youtube videos are mostly terrible for learning. So I would need to learn electronics?
Do you have any idea how complex programming emulators is?
