Hi guys, I've had the same old shitty Blackberry Curve for like 5 years, and I think it's dead.
I loved it because it had a great battery span, it was not too big, it was strong, and it could do anything I wanted to (including really basic google searches).
Problem is: I'm a poor fag, I don't know shit about phones, and I don't want a fancy smartphone with thousands of apps I'll never use (or: I'll use 24/7). What could I buy that's cheap and works great?
How about another classic BlackBerry?
Man just get a smartphone, nobody says you need to participate in... uh... "smartphone culture(?)".
Its great having a powerful computer in your pocket it comes in handy.

I don't know what they sell now. Any advice?
>>56643256
I don't have the money, and my mobile phone package has almost no internet so it's kind of useless. Plus the battery span is often really low. I prefer to have something cheaper but more "steady".

Restoring a computer for my sibling, and I am looking to put Windows 8 in.
I've seen several threads on Win8 and 2012 R2, but which one is more usable for retards?
Plus, does dazloader work for Win8?
Also, Windows thread I guess.
>>56643138
Windows 7. Every other answer is objectively wrong
Win 7 would be the best but otherwise the standard win8 will have to do then download a start menu app. Make two accounts one for the user (non admin) and another admin account for yourself to fix things when they break it.

Server has less bloated shit and a lighter aero theme (which you can also install on Win 8.1)

To all of you who works as a programmer/developer:
Do you suffer from scoliosis, if yes what do you do about it?
I have just started uni, I am learning to be a Computer Scientist, and I am scared of my future cause I have developed scoliosis in my teens.
Fortunately, it is minor and I do streches and exercise 4 times a week, so I live actively.

Study law. But until semester starts time is my own right?
>>56643097
If I even want to go to law school, I cannot. I would had to do my final exam in other subjects. I studied for CS, this is the field that I am interested in, I won't change my mind.
My question was about how others deal with back problems.
Honestly, what's the point of learning a programming language other than x86 assembly? C is just an abstraction for people so they don't have to actually learn assembly. Assembly has just as much potential as C considering you could still use libraries of unassembled and preassembled code.
>inb4 lol no ur dum xd
I'm being completely serious and not baiting either. The only reason programming languages other than assembly exist is because people can't be bothered to learn it.
It all boils down to productivity.

Sorry Mozilla, you fuckers have lost one of your remaining users. You've turned your browser into something I don't recognize anymore.
but anon, we don't work for Mozillaâ„¢.

Today is a sad day.
I've put my beloved rig up for sale. I'm leaving the country for a long time, and can't bring it with me.
Let's take the time to mourn great technology lost to us.
>not putting it in your parents basement
I fit my Antec P182 in a suitcase with every component in it. It survived.
I had fucked up priorities at the time.
>>56642892
My parents are fuck nuts. Besides, I might not ever return.
what's with all these sites blocking adblock (and in some cases won't let you even have it installed)? i'd gladly turn off my adblock if ads didn't open up obvious scam popups and other suspicious websites. i need to use windows for work and i don't want to open myself up to all kinds of malware.
>>56642853
dont visit those sites. fuck em.
>>56642879
desu we should boycott the sites that use anti adblock. you shouldn't be punished for not wanting intrusive ads. if they wanted people to not use adblock, then maybe advertisting companies should make sure they actually screen the site's they're advertising.
>>56642853
fuck em, i will not allow any website to turn my browser in to an advertising platform for their sponsors, this computer belongs to me, if they want to play that game i will add their domain to /etc/hosts like this

Why can't this meme fucking die?
>>56642507
found this in one of my ancient folders from 2011
Daily reminder that most of the "linux lovers" here are teenage/low20s green maggots who havent seen linux until 2010, let alone 2001, god forbid 1995-1998. Windows and MacOS/OSX are the real operating systems, made by professional experienced developers, while your shitty linux distro is written by codemonkeys that also partake in posting android roms on xda.
Grow the fuck up, your shitty desktop ricing is a worse hobby than even videogames. Stop using linux where its clearly an inferior choice of OS and stop bragging here about how stupid you were to fall for the linux meme. Leave it to rot on servers and routers. Using linux on desktops is like hunting an elephant with a BB gun.

>Leave it to rot on servers and routers
Every embedded systems job opening I see asks for familiarity with Linux systems.
I work at a multi billion dollar company and 90% of our workstations run Linux. Fuck off.
How is Apple so far ahead? How can android compete?

I'm Reading Lammel's book on Networking in preparating for the CCNA.
What else should I study?
Serious question. Is i5 6400/6500 with intel hd530 good enough for browsing and watching high quality cartoons and movies on a 1440p monitor?
>>56642091
>Also try running sfc /scannow from a command line to try and repair any damaged system files that may be related to the problem.
Okay so I just got done with this, and the log file it pointed me to only mentioned three files being corrupted;
bootmgr.efi.mui
browser.h1s
msdatl3.dll
What are these? Are they important to running windows?
Every instance said something along the lines of
>Could not reproject corrupted file [ml:520{260},l:94{47}]"\??\C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\Ole DB"\[l:22{11}]"msdatl3.dll"; source file in store is also corrupted
How fucked am I, or are these files unimportant? Google isn't very helpful but then again, I'm not very versed in this stuff.
iPhone 7 looks good. Is iOS still a locked down piece of shit? I plan to use my phone for emulation and daily use really.
>>56642210
>Is iOS still a locked down piece of shit?
Yes. If you want to do anything beyond Facebook, get an Android.
>>56642218
Isn't the iPhone 7 much faster than an S7? I just want a stupid fast android device but nooo, I can't fucking have that.
>>56642227
It's slightly faster, in real world use you will barely notice a difference.
