So I want to get a new computer and I decided on going full tower because with those you can near continuously upgrade them Ship of Thesseus style and have more overall power initially than a laptop. I'd primarily use the new PC for exclusively gaming since my phone and cheap ass Lenovo can handle most shit I need a PC for.
I'm also a budget conscious poorfag and don't want to break the bank and I notice there are some good deals on used gaming PCs. So my question is "should I get a used gaming PC or save up and sink all in on a new PC tower?" I can't shake this feeling the general consensus on used tech according to techfags is "used tech is always shit" even though I don't know shit about tech for the most part.

Get a Chromebook.
>>56995994
>>57004405
That doesn't answer anything
>>57004194
We need a budget first anon.
Always state your budget.
What's the best web hosting service in your opinion?
>>57004176
bump
>>57004176
I too am interested to know this.
Most of them recommend DreamHost and Linode here.
>>57005234
>them
who are you calling them?
You have ten seconds to explain why you aren't using the tastiest phone in the world
I do actually.
>iphone 4
>fastest
iPhone SE. It's actually pretty good.
Which Linux terminal emulator do you use, /g/?
Termux keeps glitching like in pic related, so I'd rather not use it for tinkering around.
why do you need terminal on a phone
>>57003998
As I said in the OP, pretty much just tinkering around. Like Linux on desktop, the terminal is just such a neat thing that you wanna start using for meaningless little things.
>>57003960
Termux is the only one worth using on android. You could use connectbot to ssh into your server to mess with stuff.
Is it possible to learn a computer language in a month if I study 1, maybe 2 hours per day?
>>57003928
why not use that time to learn something actually useful instead, like Japanese
>>57003928
Sure. It actually goes faster this way, you don't want to study too hard and sprain your brain. I recommend learning a really popular and simple language like Haskell, you'll be a master in a month easy.
>>57003928
You'll need more than a month. If you want to truly be good at it you'll need an hour a day for a year or so at least.
If you just want to be COMPETENT then you might be able to pull that off in a month, yeah.
Is there a future for BB10? Am I fucking myself in the ass if I bought a Passport today?
>>57003916
apps might stop being supported, but it emulates android, so you can just download and install apks from online
>>57003916
I own 2 passports and 1 classic. I have no problem with apps due to android runtime. Its a solid device, just know that its a dead end.
>>57003963
not new versions of Android
>>57003916
Yeah, BlackBerry has wound down their phone manufacturing division and is outsourcing their designs to Alcatel/TCL. So they will probably be sticking to Android which means BB10 is on deathwatch.
I've been wondering for a while just how much data the average person uses per month. /g/ might not be full of average people, but it's a start.
So, if you don't mind, why not take a quick 4 question survey?
Works better when I include the link, although 4chan thinks it's spam

300GB because no choice
>>57003877
About 50GB on my phone, about 150 on PC.
Is it ethical that governments spend tax money on non-free software?
>is it ethical that government lets nonfree software exist?
>>57003810
Yes
I've been an iPhone user for most of my smartphone-owning career but that "gutting the headphone jack" thing killed it for me and next phone I'm getting is NOT going to be an iPhone.
What does /g/ think is the best smartphone brand out right now?
Samsung is on fire right now.
>>57003962
LG.
>Non flagship-phones (normies don't just buy because brand name)
>beautiful UI
>headphone jack not sold separately

Hi /g/ is it possible to run on a surface RT a proper build of linux or a variation of open sauce software?
Its a shit tier tech anyway
Linuxfags are so pretentious it's ridiculous
>>57003699
>it's shit tier tech
You're retarded
Also Grub runs on RT
>>57003699
Is there any reason to get this instead of Surface 3?
Smart Watch thread.
Why pay $100-300 for a watch when you can pay $15 and get all the same features?
>>57003648
shit watch
>>57003648
>Why do people wear clothes when we could just use $15 robes?
>>57003741
That question is totally different.
Clothing such as shirts, shoes, and pants are actually needed. Robes do not fulfill the same use as the aforementioned clothes.
SHIT
I have a career's fair tomorrow, I'm a freshman. It's a "tech and finance" fair but most of the good companies are finance.
What should I
>name drop
>lie about
>talk about
to get an interview for a summer internship at a financial firm? What do financial firms like to see? I have actual working experience, but I have plenty of java projects I can talk about but I'm pretty sure they're not relevant to finance. General advice for tech fairs as well?
Also do you guys know any interesting shit any of the companies from pic related are doing that I can talk about to impress the people there?
Also, general IT career advice thread I guess
(pic related has the list of companies going)
You don't get an internship after your fucking freshman year. Most get theirs after their junior year, then get a job with said company.
>>57003610
I'm in the UK, our course is 3 years. People get internships in their second year. I'm as good as a second year when it comes to programming.
>>57003625
Yeah but what do you have to show for it? You're supposed to hand the recruiters at the job fair your résumé, then if they like what they see they'll give you a call.
thanks in advance

post 6 decides what i do.
1. kill myself

Buy the LeEco Le Max 2.
>>57003554
Reset it
Buy a Vivo X5 Max
Buttboggle iPhone 7 fags when they talk about how headphone jacks just make phones fatter by showing them a thinner phone, that still has one.
>>57003554
kill yourself
>2016
>Using uBotnet
Why? There are much better alternatives, it's not like you are forced to choose only between uBotnet and qStalledMeme.
Indian clock bomb child uses uTorrent. I swear it's like people search "how 2 torrent 2016 no surveys" and get recommended uTorrent.
Deluge, Halite, or qB.
